Smaug (also known as Smaug the Dragon) is the main antagonist of the 1937 classic fantasy novel The Hobbit by the late J.R.R. Tolkien, and its many adaptations.
He appears as one of the two main antagonists (along with Azog) of Sir Peter Jackson's live-action The Hobbit film trilogy, serving as the overarching antagonist in An Unexpected Journey, the titular main antagonist of The Desolation of Smaug and a minor yet pivotal antagonist in The Battle of the Five Armies. He is also the main antagonist of the 1977 Rankin/Bass animated film adaptation.
He is a large and dangerous dragon who conquers the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, taking the Lonely Mountain and it's vast treasure for himself. 150 years later, a Company of 13 Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, would set out to take their home back from him. In their quest they were aided by Bilbo Baggins and the Wizard Gandalf, whose real reason for joining the quest was to eliminate Smaug before Sauron would command him for war.
