Weta Workshop - The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug Smaug Bust 36 cm

In the cavern darkness beneath the Lonely Mountain reigns silence. A hot silence rests upon the vast desert of gold and treasure that covers the once-thriving halls of the ancient Dwarf city; a treasure unequaled in all of Middle-earth, yet gleaming, unseen by mortal eyes.
The wealth of Erebor is not, however, without a guardian.
Decades have passed since Smaug's hunger and lust for gold drove him south from the Withered Heath to invade the Dwarf kingdom. Swift and terrible was his coming, in which countless hordes of Men and Dwarves perished in fire and ruin. For now, all is quiet in the halls of the sleeping Dragon, coiled like a serpent upon his hoard.
Yet this silence is an illusion, for the jealous mind of the Dragon never knows peace. Fevered dreams of thieves and usurpers cause his slumber to be wrathful, his eyes opening violently to race back and forth, his long serpentine neck rising suddenly to look about him, counting coins and goblets, dishes and jewel-encrusted ornaments, his senses attuned to the faintest whiff of scent or quiet footstep that might herald the intrusion of some greedy, reckless fool. Smaug will share not a single trinket from his hoard, and though immensely powerful and vast, doubts gnaw at his confidence, destroying his reason and condemning him to a restless, broken, reddened sleep.
Into this seething abyss of suspicion and rage falls a simple hobbit, thoughtless of treasure. Driven by duty to keep a naive promise made to a friend and to prove himself worthy of the Wizard's trust, Bilbo Baggins nervously treads upon the hallowed gold. It is a simple act of astonishing courage that drives every nervous step, scattering streams of coins that become a cascade, an avalanche of gold that unleashes upon the world a terrible fury, changes the course of history and hastens a short and bloody siege: for Bilbo has awakened Smaug.
