'''Smaug''' was a [[dragon]] in ''[[The Hobbit]]'' whose vast accumulation of treasure was finally dispersed when [[Bilbo]] and the [[dwarf (mythology)|dwarves]] occupied his lair upon his long-awaited death.  

'''Smaug''' was a [[dragon]] in ''[[The Hobbit]]'' who lived during the Third Age.  He heard of the vast accumulation of treasure within the Kingdom of Erebor and descended in fire upon the town of Dale, whence he stole all of the treasure from the Dwarves and lived among them, within the halls of Erebor.  The treasure was finally dispersed when [[Bilbo]] and the [[dwarf (mythology)|dwarves]] hid in a tunnel and finally liberated their people from living under his rule by killing the fire dragon who ruled over them.  

Smaug was killed in battle by the last arrow of a famous bowman tipped off about a chink in Smaug's armor by the thrush befriended by [[Bilbo]] atop Smaug's [[Lonely Mountain]] lair.

Smaug was killed in battle above the town of Lake-Town by the last arrow of a famous bowman tipped off about a chink in Smaug's armor by the thrush befriended by [[Bilbo]] atop Smaug's [[Lonely Mountain]] lair, and for ever after his bones could be seen beneath the waters of Long Lake from the shore beside the town.
