ANCALAGON, ANCALAGON THE BLACK
Dragon of Angband. Ancalagon was the finest of the Winged Dragons. Called
Ancalagon the Black, he was bred in the Pits of Angband by Morgoth in the First
Age. For a time it looked as though he would overcome the
Valar, but at a critical time the giant Eagles and Earendil
the Mariner entered the fray and slew him. So great was his weight, that when
he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, they were destroyed and the Pits of
Angband burst beneath him.
