Corlagon the Red

A half-dozen Cave-drakes, Colddrakes, and Land-drakes found that the caves of the Nan Angmar provided comfortable lairs. Fell Beasts, cousins to the Winged-drakes, preferred underground nests located at higher elevations; in the Misty Mountains, as in the Ered Luin, they flied by night to avoid the Great Eagles. Corlagon, a Winged-drake, was the greatest of these terrors. He resided above the Rist Angsiril, a pass in the Hyarjargsh connecting the Ettenmoors of Rhudaur with the Nan Angmar near Litash. Corlagon rarely ventured into Angmar proper after the founding of Litash, but instead hunted goats high in the mountains and caru on the northern fringe ofthe Ettenmoors. Almost fifty feet long and possessing a hundred-foot wingspan, the dragon dwelled in an immense cavern with a dozen Troll slaves and a considerable pile of treasure. He served as a convenient border guard for the Witch-king.
