"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"—The Hobbit, "Inside Information"

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

Creature type: Dragon (winged)

Size: Uncertain; here are some estimates:

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

Attack potency: At least high MJ with fire, likely above 8 TJ; at least 5.73208 GJ with claws and tail, possibly 47000 GJ with roar added; likely 4700 GJ with body heat

Range: At least 100 feet with fire, likely over 200 feet; possibly 50 feet with teeth and claws; at least 50 feet with tail, possibly over 150 feet

Strength: Probably at least 100 tonnes, perhaps in the thousands (likely weighs hundreds of tonnes, and is probably able to smash through buildings)

Speed: At least 30 mph in flight (covered about 5 miles in approximately ten minutes), likely far higher

Durability: At least Wall level, likely far higher (no-sells arrows, claims that his "armor is like tenfold shields")

Intelligence: At least above average, possibly genius

Stamina: Very high (can apparently fly for hours without tiring)

Weaknesses: Pride, vulnerable patch on chest (unknown to him), water
