Smaug was a fire-drake of the Third Age, considered the last "great" dragon of Middle-earth.
The dwarves speak of Smaug as a specially greedy, strong and wicked worm out of the North. He keeps his plunder piled in one heap far inside, by their guess, and sleeps on it as a bed, which is the way of his kind.
His kind, in the same lore, never enjoy so much as a brass ring of their treasure. They hardly know good work from bad, though they have a fair notion of its market value, and they cannot make anything of their own, or even mend a loose scale on their armour.
