Angurth is a long, black-gold Dragon who is missing a horn as a result of an ancient mating duel. He resides at Long Peak in the Withered Heath area of the Grey Mountains. Known for his extremely strong jaws and the intense heat of his fiery breath, Angurth reputedly relishes duels and enjoys slaying heavily armored foes. Save that of Smaug, he has the most powerful breath weapon of any of the Fire-drakes in the Grey Mountains.
(character) had traveled many long and twisting paths this day. The mountain passes were always difficult to find and the trails had a way of changing their markings. The last path showed promise as it snaked its way toward the top of this particular mountain. Perhaps this was the right path after all. Suddenly, the path ended in what seemed to be a giant cave entrance. Lying in front of the entrance was a being that generated instant fear and respect. A black gold Dragon with only one horn lay there and the ancient name leapt unbidden to memory. This one was known as "Angurth", and as the black gold scaled head swiveled up to gaze with piercing eyes, the mouth opened to...speak?

†ATTACK = combat for FP/NT, dragon recruited into army for DS! Yes, I know this sounds weird, but it's true. A DS who attacks Angurth will end up recruiting the dragon. Witch King emissary failed to recruit and was left wounded - Doug Bierbower Dec. 2018. (Note from Raven: I have seen no confirmation that a DS character attacking Angurth will recruit. Anyone?)
(Jeremy Richman) I have recruited Angurth by attacking many times, and have never failed to recruit him this way; he is tickled that you have the nerve to attack him! But long ago, a player (who might have been Doug?) told me he attacked but got eaten; when I examined his turn, it turned out he typoed the word "Attack" and instead put in "Aattack", which means he spoke it aloud instead of doing it!
