Drogoth, who is named the Dragon Lord because of his likeness to the great Dragons of old, is one of many dragons that originate from the Withered Heath in the Grey Mountains in the far north of Middle-earth, and is one of the few who still seeks power openly. Before the War of the Ring, Drogoth slept undisturbed. But he was persuaded by Sauron to help in his campaign in exchange for one of the Dwarven Rings of Power which were confiscated from the heads of the seven major Dwarven clans when they were captured and held in Dol Guldur.
Drogoth flew to the Blue Mountains and drove out the native Dwarven clan, and turned it into his new lair. The survivors sent a lone messenger to get help. This messenger made his way east and was captured at the Ettenmoors by the Goblins. He is later rescued by an Elven army under Glorfindel and Glóin and tells them what has happened. The heroes set out for the Blue Mountains and with the help of a small Dwarven army made up of the survivors of Drogoth's devastation, they retake the mountain halls, drive out the Goblins that have infested them, and kill Drogoth. The Dwarven ring is recovered and the Blue Mountains reclaimed.
So I was wondering how would you rank Drogoth compared to other dragons like Glaurung, Ancalagon, Scatha, and Smaug and also compared to the balrogs like Gothmog.
I never said Balrogs had wings. I said that the winged dragon (not Balrog) was Morgoth's greatest servants and that was including the Balrogs for Melkor unleashed them as his last line of defense against the Vala.
No problem. Drogoth is a winged dragon (as said in BFME2) so I guess that would make him above the Balrogs but since he only appeared in a video game so he isn't really a part of Tolkien's Middle-Earth but it's pretty cool that some people add on to the war in the north that was mentioned in the book but Tolkien never explored it.
