Dragon

The Dragon is the third and final enemy that Beowulf is challenged to defeat.

Attacking the Geats
The Dragon begins to attack the Geats after a servent had woken him up. The servent had angered the dragon, by stealing a goblet from the dragon's hoard and by out smarting him. The dragon then attacks the Geats and gets Beowulf's attention. Beowulf and the dragon then have a great battle ending in both the Dragon's and Beowulf's death.

Characteristics
This fire breathing dragon is the most difficult enemy to defeat. He is a large, deadly creature that does not like to be taken advantage of. The dragon has a large hoard where all his treasures are kept. He is a very tough enemy with scales that a very hard to penetrate. With the help of Wiglaf, only then is Beowulf able to defeat this mighty creature.
