Smaug was a powerful and mighty foe in the Hobbit, but luckily for the Free Peoples he did not sense nor take Bilbo’s ring. But what if he did?
Thank you all for watching, let me know your thoughts on this in the comments below! What would happen if Smaug got the One Ring? As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
