Known as the Deceiver, Glaurung was a land-bound fire-breathing Dragons (Middle-earth), in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth. Glaurung was a very powerful and cunning dragon, and he used his abilities to achieve his desired ends without resorting to direct physical violence (which he was equally proficient at). Glaurung was much more cunning than Sauron and Gothmog, his major contemporaries in the hierarchy of Morgoth. It was his nature to trick and deceive, and to spread lies and deceptions so cleverly that they could not be discovered until it was too late. In this manner, he accomplished much more damage than he could have with brute force, and caused the destruction of the Elves (Middle-earth) stronghold of Nargothrond and the suicide of mankind's greatest hero to date, Túrin Turambar. He caused amnesia in Turin's sister Nienor, and since they had never met, they eventually married. However, Glaurung himself was slain by Túrin before he committed suicide. Glaurung was called the Father of Dragons. It is not known with certainty, but it is largely suspected that he sired the rest of his race (or at least of his own sub-species, the Uruloki: wingless firebreathing dragons). He was created by Morgoth from some unknown stock and was the first dragon to appear outside of Angband. This first appearance occurred during the Siege of Angband, when he came forth to attack, but too early because he was still pre-mature and young. He was defeated and driven back to Angband by mounted Elven archers. After the sack of Nargothrond, he made a nest of treasure in the abandoned tunnels of the city. It is likely that he is the dragon that appears in Tolkien's poem "The Hoard" in ''The Adventures of Tom Bombadil'', which seems to be based on the events at Nargothrond.

“...Tolkien's poem "The Hoard" a.k.a "Frodo's Dreme"...” Actually I believe "Frodos Dreme" (no apostrophe) is the alternative title of "The Sea-Bell". I'll check my copy of ''The Adventures of Tom Bombadil'' to confirm. User:Lee M 01:52, 6 May 2004 (UTC) Thanks, Glaurung for the explanation on contacting you. When I clicked on your provided link Usertalk:Glaurung, it took me to a big usertalk item, having no obvious way to single you out, but when I clicked on YOUR PROVIDED Glauring link it eventually got me here. The usertalk page called me a "Newcomer," though I was logged in. When I look at changes to "Tesla coil" and see a link for Glaurung, and click on IT, I arrive at a page that says "beware of the Glaurung" and no more. I don't remember if I tried to edit that but I would not want to edit your home page, so to speak. Anyway, I am more afraid of someone's cloning (extinct) Giant Ground Sloths than of Glaurungen, as I would never touch even a crumb of the jewels and other plunder in that cave. The reason I got into Tesla and Kirlian photography is that a friend (his wife was a classmate of my wife's) is a doctor who does, among more usual things perhaps, acupuncture, and wanted me to help him build a "Kirlian camera". I have known a bit (but not much) about Tesla coils since about 1948, when I tried to make one, and about Kirlian photography since the 1970's. I am a supporter (financially only in the tiniest dribbles, but morally anyway) of the James Randi Institute, so you can envision where I stand on "practical" uses of Kirlian photography. Of course, Tesla coils are used for testing vacuum systems and ceramic coatings of metal parts, and so on, I gather. I have been stalling off this doctor but with the Wikipedia warnings I may contact him; yet, with this kind of chap it's sort of like the case of that mental hospital patient who, after years and years of therapy, was cured of believing he was Napoleon. He said, joyfully, to the doctors, "Oh, I am so glad finally to be disabused of this crazy delusion; thank you, doctors. Just wait till I go tell the good news to Josephine" pdn Peter
