From New Line Cinema, Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. came J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, brought to the big screen in an epic trilogy. Wētā Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again, contributing design, specialty props, and specialty costumes to all three films.
Long horns, bladed claws, and wicked maws of countless teeth. The sharp, slitted eyes of the Dragons were ever-watchful. Their sense of smell keen and their long bodies grew to a size unrivaled by any other creatures. Some were winged, able to take to the skies and travel vast distances. Others burned with fiery wrath inside, spewing fire and death from their jaws at will. And in some, the two abilities were paired to terrifying effect.
By the later years of the Third Age only a few dragons remained, mostly sequestered in the scorched lands of the far north, between the spurred arms of the Grey Mountains. Great was their hunger and a lust for violence burned in their bellies. When rumor of the wealth of Erebor reached their ears, the greatest of the Fire Drakes in Middle-earth took to wing and rushed south. Smaug was his name; a vast gold and red monster whose viciousness was matched only by his pride.
His coming was like a hurricane of fire. The cities of Dale and Erebor swiftly fell to his grand advance. Countless Dwarves and Men were consumed in his flames or shredded by tooth and claw. Barely had the inhabitants realized what calamity was befalling them when they were dead or displaced. Then the Great Dragon, who called himself Magnificent, seized the riches of the Lonely Mountain, taking residence to lie coiled upon his hoard. Henceforth, Erebor became a place of dread, and all about, the lands became barren, parched and despoiled. It has been hailed as the Desolation of Smaug.
