Dragon of Erebor : Title given to Smaug after his attack on the Dwarf-kingdom of Erebor;after its destruction, he remained in its halls until slain by Bard of Dale. Father of Dragons : A title given to Glaurung,the first of the Dragons.Whether Glaurung was literally the father of all dragons,as for example Durin was father of all his folk,is unknown;the origins of dragon-kind remain mysterious.On balance,however,this seems unlikely due to the differences between individual dragons - for example,Glaurung was wingless,whereas many of the later dragons had wings.

Great Worm : A title of Glaurung,the first and one of the greatest of the Worms ('worm' is a name for those creatures more commonly called dragons).
