User:Radionatix/Ancalagon

Ancalagon, also known as Ancalagon the Black, was one of the most powerful dragons in Middle Earth. He was bred by Morgoth during the First Age.

Appearance
Ancalagon is not well described in The Silmarillion, but it is mention to be a dark dragon with a massive size.

History
After Eärendil made his journey to Valinor to convince the Valar to overthrow Morgoth and rescue the overmatched and defeated Elves and Edain, The Host of Valinor made war upon Morgoth and destroyed his armies. Facing final defeat, Morgoth unleashed his last and greatest weapon; a fleet of winged fire drakes, led by Ancalagon. So terrible was their onslaught that the armies of the Valar were driven back from the gates of Angband, and their coming was said to have been accompanied by a tempest of fire and lightning. But Eärendil came out of the West in his blessed ship Vingilot, accompanied by the Eagles of Manwë led by Thorondor. The Eagles and Eärendil dueled with Ancalagon and the other Dragons for an entire day. Eventually, Eärendil was victorious, casting Ancalagon down upon Thangorodrim and destroying the volcanic mountains in his fall. The death of Ancalagon marked the end of Morgoth's final resistance.

Abilities
Ancalagon doesn't have special abilities, yet he's still big enough to destroy a world and use his breath to destroy everything and a durable skin.
