| Dec 5, 2017 at 10:37 | comment | added | Darth Hunterix | @DRF I think it was more of a Nazgul thing: "I can hear the Ring's calling nearby... But I can't see a damn thing in this stupid hood! Screw it, Saurie can go look for it himself, I'm going home". | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 10:08 | comment | added | DRF | @DarthHunterix Meh considering this particular Ring was trying to be found I agree Sauron was being lax. I always figured it was because he assumed the Ring would be able to do even more of the work of getting found (e.g. getting Frodo to become the Tyrant of the Shire.) | |

| Dec 4, 2017 at 21:40 | comment | added | void_ptr | @Valorum - Sauron: "Okay let's see, where do I look for the ring today? The Shire? Nope. Minas Tirith? Nope. The Everglades? Nope. Not there. Mount Doom? Hmm now that might be a good idea. Wait, what's that hobbit doing there? Oh shi..." | |

| Dec 4, 2017 at 18:34 | comment | added | void_ptr | Well, the dragons were created by Morgoth, so they kind of had to obey Sauron. However, we all know that Sauron isn't very good at finding things. | |

| Dec 4, 2017 at 17:51 | comment | added | TimSparrow | Possibly because dragons are very proud and arrogant, and may be unwilling to fight for anyone but themselves. | |
| Dec 4, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | Valorum | Because he's the last of the great dragons. All the others are relatively small and puny | |
