Satan tells both gravity and thermodynamics to go fuck themselves.
it's part of the discord in the notes of reality he caused.

Tolkien fantasy will never cease to amaze me. I mean it's ridiculous, like fucking hell it's way too much, why not create a dragon that is 1000 times the size of Ancalagon actually ?

Can any lorefag tell me how Gandalf and the Balrog ended up on a mountain peak if they both fell deep into the mines?

Yao Ming has foot/joint problems, and he is 7'6". That dragon is fucked.

Reminder that the Balrog that Gandalf killed used to ride around on the back of that big dragon, killing elves for fun.

there was a staircase in the mountain
the balrog tried to run like a bitch but Gandalf chased it up there

The pic is only extrapolated from a passage in the book that says he broke the 3 peaks of Thangorodrim when he died, similarly to how Durin's BANE broke the slope of the mountain they fought on
Maybe he was really dense like a neutron star

>‘Deep is the abyss that is spanned by Durin’s Bridge, and none has measured it,’ said Gimli. ‘Yet it has a bottom, beyond light and knowledge,’ said Gandalf. ‘Thither I came at last, to the uttermost foundations of stone. He was with me still. His fire was quenched, but now he was a thing of slime, stronger than a strangling snake. ‘We fought far under the living earth, where time is not counted. Ever he clutched me, and ever I hewed him, till at last he fled into dark tunnels. They were not made by Durin’s folk, Gimli son of Glóin. Far, far below the deepest delvings of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he. Now I have walked there, but I will bring no report to darken the light of day. In that despair my enemy was my only hope, and I pursued him, clutching at his heel. Thus he brought me back at last to the secret ways of Khazad-dûm: too well he knew them all. Ever up now we went, until we came to the Endless Stair.’

>‘Long has that been lost,’ said Gimli. ‘Many have said that it was never made save in legend, but others say that it was destroyed.’ ‘It was made, and it had not been destroyed,’ said Gandalf. ‘From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak it climbed, ascending in unbroken spiral in many thousand steps, until it issued at last in Durin’s Tower carved in the living rock of Zirakzigil, the pinnacle of the Silvertine.

Daily reminder that It was never said to be that big

> a giant dragon in a high fantasy setting created by what amounts to a god
> hurr durr it's not realistic

How many trillions of calories does it consume in a day?

The text said he broke the mountainside upon his ruin, which could be anything from taking a chunk out of it to causing a rockslide.

3.6

How big is he?

about tree fiddy

fuck calories, how would it even move without breaking under it's own weight?

bro their sun is a floating pear or something this isn't hard sf

Do you think the nameless things are of Morgoth, Eru, or just void shit like Ungoliant?

>flaps wings
>everything around it gets blown into space

How many calories does it take for a balrog to create actual fire all of the time?
Dragons are magical creatures. They don’t have to make total sense

>Then, seeing that his hosts were overthrown and his power dispersed, Morgoth quailed, and he dared not to come forth himself. But he loosed upon his foes the last desperate assault that he had prepared, and out of the pits of Angband there issued the winged dragons, that had not before been seen; and so sudden and ruinous was the onset of that dreadful fleet that the host of the Valar was driven back, for the coming of the dragons was with great thunder, and lightning, and a tempest of fire. But Eärendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Eärendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin.

And that's all there is about might Ancalagon the Black.

Yeah i mean dragons are one thing, but how are demons getting calories locked inside mountains? Do they pay taxes? What makes them tick?

Wouldn't something that size falling immediately cause a gigantic tremor?

>based on a Finnish legend
What did he mean by this

[citation needed]

Can a brainlet get a quick rundown on why it's limbs would just shatter? Dragons stand on four legs, is it not possible for them to be strong enough to hold his body up?

Dragons don't have buttholes that's why they're so angry all the time

No that was when God decided to destroy half the world when Sauron goaded the last king of Numrenor to send his steampunk armies to war with the gods.

That’s not what my dragon porn shows.

gravity being unbased and cringepilled

BASED bbd (big black dragon)

That map is all out of scale, Beleriand is around the size of Eriador.

Dragonlets BTFO

user, here's one thing you have to realize: blowing something up to ridiculous sizes would have consequences. Giant people live in constant pain. Double the size, quadruple the weight.

One would also need high concentrations of oxygen to breathe, which is why T-Rexes wouldn't be alive today.

I think it comes down to sheer weight, just because something works at a smaller size doesnt mean it will scale well.

You're confusing the War of Wrath with the Downfall of Numenor.

It’s made of carbon nanotubes you retards.

Is this gonna be amazon’s lotr or what?

No Beleriand was ravaged by the war but it wasn't actually destroyed until then.

Square cube law, user.
>as a shape grows in size, its volume grows faster than its surface area.
Essentially it means that the bigger something gets, the more energy and mass it has to devote to keeping itself stable. So the bigger a dragon gets, the more muscle and bone density it has to have in order to even walk, let alone fly, and eventually it would get to the point where it would have so much mass it kills itself.
It is, incidentally, the reason that anyone who tries to say
>aktually, X shape is more biologically realistic
Is an absolute retard, since anything approaching realism would have the body makeup of a Pterasuar, which had incredibly fragile bones and wings to reduce weight

They didn’t wanna get dabbed on by Sauron and his armies.

Isn't there a Texas-y version of this where Ancalagon is bigger than himself?

his body parts would have so much mass that his tendons would rip off of his bones if he tried to move them, unless they were made of some futuristic hi tech alloy

Square-cube law.

This. The only indication of size is that it broke the mountain when it fell into it.

Yeah but I've not seen it in years

Lord of the Rings

>bigger than himself
What did he mean by this?

Care to elaborate on why they need so much oxygen?

If he broke the peaks of the mountains he might just be big and incredibly heavy instead of retardedly massive like in OP's picture.

Void shit. Parasitic beings living off Eru's creation yet hiding from his light.

>In the Great Battle and the tumults of the fall of Thangorodrim there were mighty convulsions in the earth, and Beleriand was broken and laid waste; and northward and westward many lands sank beneath the waters of the Great Sea. In the east, in Ossiriand, the walls of Ered Luin were broken, and a great gap was made in them towards the south, and a gulf of the sea flowed in. Into that gulf the River Lhûn fell by a new course, and it was called therefore the Gulf of Lhûn.

Better question:
How big are his shits?
Like does he automatically require all the cartographers on Middle-Earth to create new maps every time he shits out a mountain?
One could reasonably assume that this would have caused a large boom in the cartography business while he was alive. Large groups of people who made it their living to scout out and accurately document the new landscape and any notable ecological changes, such as deer emigrating into different forests. Kings would want to know these things so they know where to go for their annual hunts after all.
Then when he was destroyed, suddenly that entire market dried up. Imagine the scale of unemployment and following banditry it caused. How would Númenor deal with such an economical backlash? How did this contribute to their fall?

Stop consuming fantasy/sci-fi fiction, your brain can't handle it.

Accurate.

it vores things

it's interesting to note that for the entirety of the first age, aside from that battle, dragons did not have wings
which course also means that dragons in Tolkien adaptations SHOULD have 4 limbs + 2 wings as said wings were only added later on

What happened to the walls after the world was made round?

Go on

You think they fucked?

haha i sure don't want that to happen ho me haha

there are no mentions of wifebeating in the documentary. watch it. i can't cite something that didn't happen.

This. Warhammer is the cringiest of cringe nerd settings whose fans try to brush off all the criticism of its shitty lore and world building and embarassing tone as "le ebic fantasy satire lololol" because even they recognize the awful mess that setting is

that's a bit iffy, as Tolkien went back and forth on having a sort of final confrontation
no hard canonical work references it
but in the writings that do include it, his escape is presented as part of his fate, and thus completely unavoidable

Tolkien's writing is filled with magical fairytale bullshit were he will exaggerate and use flowery language for dramatic effect.

I love seeing the birth of something special

based chadlotrmemes

true enough, but there is a core of truth in every myth
Ancalagon was probably not as large as a mountain, however it was the largest dragon ever, and it was noticeably larger than all other dragons
Given that some other first age dragons could get damn huge, it still must have been a monstrous creature

for you

It's like people getting smug about stuff in the Bible, like the sun stopping in the sky so the Israelites had more daylight to pursue their enemies. It's a myth, it's legend, stop trying to force it into your material conception of the world

I want a movie or book with a type of monster the size of a solar system. maybe it could be a single species in a lifeform where the largest species are the size of a galaxy; and so this solar system sized one is like the smallest, but also the only species to have developed intelligence/sentience. and humanity is sprawled out across multiple solar systems, maybe even across multiple galaxies, lots of humans have lost technology completely, some perhaps have large intersolar empires, maybe there are even many intersolar empires that aren't even aware of each other because of the permanent loss of some kind of warp tech. and anyway these giant (tiny) monsters would get into wars with humans and there would be cargo cults around them and stuff. they would be able to learn human languages and speak to people too. and they like live off the energy generated by massive objects like stars; i.e they eat stars. and the human empires have to protect themselves as well as the thousands of trillions of primitive humans on various shit planets. this would take place like 200000 years in the future. it would also assume AI doesn't take off.

No one is basing their worldview on Tolkien lore though.

it's probably a maiar spirit so it doesn't need to eat anything. every creature that had physical abilities over men, elves or dwarves were maiar spirits that were either corrupted like sauron, balrog and many others like probably all the dragons, and some of them were good spirits like the myriad of maiars belonging to the valar pantheon and to name one, gandalf. then there was of course aiwendil, alatar, pallando and curumo who later turned out to be a rotten one

because at a certain point you're only going to see the monster's toe. while that could make for cool cloverfield awe moments its pretty much impossible to have any sort of conflict between a monster of that size and something normal sized
