Dragons have an all-consuming lust for wealth and riches and a desire to possess and horde items of beauty and power. He considers all mortal creatures his inferiors. Like all of his kind, Urgost is an inherently wicked creature, inclined to evil. They are huge, powerful creatures with cunning minds equal to that of any Man, Dwarf or Elf. Fire-drakes are the greatest of the dragons remaining in the world during the waning years of the Third Age. Urgost is one such fire breathing dragon (sometimes known as fire-drakes). Nearly 80 years after the death of Smaug, Gandalf implies that fire-breathing dragons might still be found in Middle-earth. When speaking to Frodo of the history of the Ring, Gandalf mentions that dragons were once capable of destroying Rings of Power with the heat of their breath, but he specifically states that there are no dragons remaining in Middle-earth with such power.
