Would Smaug have worked for Sauron?

Despite there being a connection between them – as both are connected to Morgoth in some way – Smaug and Sauron never worked together. It was an alliance Gandalf and the White Council feared, but it never happened since, as far as we know, the two of them never even met in The Hobbit.

Who would win Sauron or Smaug?

Round 2) Smaug is on the offensive, going after Sauron with ring in his castle Barad-dûr. Round 3 and 4 are the same but with Sauron as he was during the events of Lord of the Rings. Bonus 1 on 1 combat, does Smaug stomp? There's a quote by Gandalf which I believe shows that Sauron wins every time.

Who would win Balrog vs Smaug?

So, one glimpse into Smaug's eyes and the Balrog falls under the spell. Even if it's just for a second—a moment of hesitation or distraction, it'd be enough. Smaug would snatch up Durin's Bane and gobble him up with his sword-sharp teeth (and we know swords can kill Balrogs).

Can Ancalagon destroy the Ring?

Gandalf said that not even the fire of Ancalagon the Black (the mightiest dragon) could destroy the ring. You'd think that dropping it in any ole' volcano may not have destroyed it but would have made it inaccessible for geological ages--essentially forever.
