Bard the Bowman is a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. A Man of Laketown and a descendant of the ancient Lords of Dale, Bard manages to kill Smaug, the dragon, after which he becomes king of Dale.
Bard maintained good relations with the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and trade flowed freely up and down the River Running. People came to settle in Dale from miles around and the land that had been withered by Smaug became bountiful once more. Bard died in TA 2977. His son Bain succeeded him as King of Dale.
In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Smaug attacks Lake-town. He is killed by Bard with a black arrow and his body falls on the boat carrying the fleeing Master of Lake-town.
However, it wasn't Thorin or Gandalf that vanquished Smaug. It was a man named Bard. He was a resident of nearby Lake-town and the descendant of the Lords of Dale.
In The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Smaug is killed by Bard, an archer who lives in Laketown. After Bilbo angers Smaug, the dragon leaves his lair to attack Laketown. During his conversation with Smaug, Bilbo noticed that there was a hole in Smaug's armor.

Who replaced Thorin as king?
Thorin was killed in the battle, as were his sister-sons Kíli and Fíli. As his "rightful heir," Dáin succeeded Thorin as King under the Mountain, and King of all of Durin's folk.
If he is using black arrow. The black arrow is just a normal arrow so that wouldn't have any effect. Bard only knew where to aim because he could understand the thrush that heard Bilbo talk about it. So Legolas would only be able to kill Smaug through sheer luck or he would have to see the gap in the gemstone armor.
Morgoth, seeing his armies in disarray, unveils, as a last resort, the winged dragons led by Ancalagon the Black. Eärendil and Thorondor are confronted by Ancalagon in an aerial battle in which the dragon is shot down, bringing down the peaks of Thangorodrim and defeating its master.
The majority of her powers come from her Ring of Power, Nenya, the Ring of Water. The ring, also known by the names the White Ring and the Ring of Adamant, is one of the three Rings of Power given to the Elves of Middle-earth in the Second Age.
Smaug is still a huge and devastating beast, especially compared to little Bilbo Baggins, but Balerion's height comes out victorious. However, Smaug was far from the largest Dragon in Middle-earth, as some are said to be as big as a mountain.
After the death of Thorin in the Battle of Five Armies, Dain becomes King under the Mountain. He redeems the Arkenstone from Bard with a fourteenth of the treasure, which is used to re-establish Dale. Over the next three years, Bard rebuilds the city of Dale and becomes its ruler. The city begins to prosper again.
Originally Answered: Who is the king of Erebor after Thorin dies? His cousin Dain Ironfoot, Lord of the Iron Hills Dwarves. They are first cousins through their paternal grandfather.
Though intrigued like in the book when encountering a hobbit for the first time, Smaug despised Dwarves intensely, considering them wretched and bottom-feeding creatures as he comments on how they'd be naturally urged to come after his treasure.
Smaug is able to detect Bilbo through the Ring's invisibility, but the hobbit does not even need the Ring to survive the meeting with the dragon, relying on his wits to flatter the dragon and eventually escape.
It's not known if Bard survived until the events of The Lord of the Rings, as they take place 60 years apart. But after his passing, it's known that his son Bain succeeded him as King of Dale.
For those that haven't read Tolkien's work, it's easy to see why many audiences suspect Gandalf and Galadriel are in love. After all, many of their interactions in The Hobbit trilogy practically scream romance. However, their relationship remains purely platonic in Tolkien's source material.
As previously stated, Gandalf is a Maia and is therefore superior to Elves regarding power. Still, this isn't to say that an elf couldn't develop enough skill and power to defeat a Maia. As a bearer of one of the Three Elven Rings (Nenya), Galadriel would have an edge against Maiar like Saruman and Radagast.
In The Lord of the Rings, it is said that had Galadriel chosen to use her powers for evil instead of good, she would have been even more destructive and terrifying than Sauron himself. Galadriel was the greatest and most powerful of all Elves in Middle Earth in the Third Age.
At length Eärendil gained the upper hand, throwing Ancalagon down on the peaks of Thangorodrim, destroying both Ancalagon and the towers. With his last and mightiest defender slain, Morgoth was defeated and made captive, thus ending the War of Wrath.
Morgoth is the more powerful of the two. Morgoth was the mightiest of the Valar, a group whose weakest member would outpace Sauron. However, there are some circumstances and eras in which Sauron would win the day. Morgoth was born far beyond Sauron but lost and surrendered much of his power.
Legolas does not marry or have any children, based on the appendix of The Lord of the Rings. Regardless of who his mother was, Legolas is the last of his line. When he sails into the West at the beginning of the Fourth Age, he leaves no family members behind.
Although both the Balrog and Smaug are creatures of fire, and Gandalf is able to match them thanks to the power of his fire ring, defeating the Balrog takes far more spiritual prowess, which is why Gandalf is able to essentially 'level up' and comes back as Gandalf the White, whereas defeating such an immense physical ...
