@IronJaw333: Isn’t that quote from The Hobbit:  The Desolation of Smaug? That’s not canon. Thorin doesn’t call Smaug names in the books, let alone even confront Smaug face to face in the main narrative.

However, dragons as worms are mentioned with The Hobbit book - on the accompanying drawing of Thror’s Map there is an arrow pointing north with the text “Far to the North are the Grey Mountains by the Withered Heath whence came the Great Worms,” accompanied by a sketch of a wingless long-bodied dragon.
