  Encyclopedia of Arda: Smaug
Smaug was the last of the great fire-drakes, and said to be the greatest dragon of his time.
In particular, it reached the heir of another of Smaug's victims, Bard, the descendant of Girion of Dale.
Bard shot Smaug with an arrow, and though Lake-town was devastated in his attack and fall, the dragon was defeated.

 Other Creatures of Middle-earth
Smaug was the greatest Dragon in the latter part of the Third Age.
Smaug remembered hearing strange noises in the tunnel leading to his lair and realized the thief had come from there, but he was unable to locate the secret door in the side of the mountain.
The name Smaug is derived from the Germanic verb smugen meaning "to squeeze through a hole." Trâgu - the Dragon's name in Dale - is related to the stem trah- meaning "burrow" in the languages of Rohan and the Shire.

Smaug was a greedy, reddish-gold dragon of Middle-earth, who laid waste to Dale and captured the Lonely Mountain (Erebor) with all its treasure, which he gathered in a central hall and slept upon.
Smaug's scales rendered him almost invulnerable, but when Bilbo Baggins confronted him in his lair, he discovered a bare patch on his underbelly.
According to Tolkien, the name Smaug is "the past tense of the primitive Germanic verb Smugan, to squeeze through a hole" (Letter No. 31); others have noted that it has echoes of "smoke" and "smog".

 Smaug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smaug is described as reddish-gold and was said in accounts of the Red Book that he "raised fifty feet high with wings out strecthed past one hundred, as is claws were the size of a boulder, and could easily crush one".
This theft of a cup, Smaug's knowledge of every item in the hoard, and the dragon's ensuing rampage all echo the story of Beowulf, on which Tolkien was a noted expert and which he described as as one of his "most valued sources" for The Hobbit.
Among the items in Smaug's possession were the Arkenstone, and a number of mithril chain shirts, one of which was given as a gift to Bilbo by Thorin Oakenshield, and was later to save Frodo Baggins from the spear of a goblin captain in Moria.

 The Ancestors of Smaug
Smaug is a dragon, and to understand Smaug, one must know what a dragon is, at least what Professor Tolkien saw a dragon to be.
By the ancestors of Smaug is meant those characters and sources from which Tolkien drew to create the character, and the general gist of The Dragon in his view (i.e., in his previous conceptions of a dragon).
Smaug, of course, being a representative of the final form of the dragon as Tolkien would have it.

 The History of Smaug - Smaug
SMAUG was intended partly to fill the gap left when Santa Cruz Linux User Group, which had met at Got.net's offices in the nearby Sawmill building, went inactive a year or two before.
And, unlike many groups, SMAUG from its beginning deliberately attempted to be both technical and social, without apology — and to plan a group role in community service.
On December 3, 2001, SMAUG held another organisational meeting at Cafe Pergolessi, which was not considered suitable over the long term on account of loud music and limited room.
