==Why Play Smaug==
Because you are either a massive Dragon or Benedict Cumberbatch fan, that just wants to burn everyone's army to cinders and smile while doing so.

===Pros===
*I kill where I wish and none dare resist
*I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today
*Then I was but young and tender
*Now I am old and strong, strong, strong
*My armor is like tenfold shields
*My teeth are swords
*My claws spears
*The shock of my tail a thunderbolt
*My wings a hurricane
*My breath death!

===Cons===
* He is the same price as a warhound titan (not including arms)
* You will have no friends when you play him in any game.
* If your rival has two or more Avenger bolts (YES DUDES AVENGER BOLTS CAN WIPE OUT SMAUG) you are dead, so skip this game and move on.
* Your opponent's turns will be 80% of the game, so you won't actually play as much

===Army Bonus===
You don't get one, to quote the army list book "Having a massive fire breathing dragon is a deadly enough bonus as it is".

==Unit Analysis==
