Universe: Arda (J.R.R. Tolkien)

Creature type: Dragon (winged)

121-156 feet long (including tail)

427 feet long (including tail)

315+ feet long (including tail; likely the best estimation)

Abilities: Fire breath (1500K+); massive strength (broke rocks easily); tooth and claw attacks; massively strong scales; hypnosis (nearly got Bilbo to reveal himself); longevity (lived for hundred of years); likely telepathy (appeared to read Bilbo's mind); high intelligence; highly acute senses
