User blog comment:- Darkchylde/Dragon Battle 3: Smaug vs. Alduin/@comment-81.107.176.130-20131217182932

I want to say Smaug- he's much more cunning than Alduin. He doesn't form elaborate schemes like Alduin (raising all the dragons and so on); he takes precaution- enough to ensure he only has one weakspot. He sees through a number of Bilbo's riddles and won't make the same mistake twice, shown when he lay in wait for Bilbo after stealing the cup. Smaug levelled Dale, Laketown and drove a whole community of dwarves (warriors in their own right) out of the Lonely Mountain because he could, he wanted gold, and he was annoyed. With true ambition and reason, Smaug could easily rival and outmatch Alduin.
