Glaurung

By some posts in the Turin Turambar and Free Will thread me and Elemmire got into discussing Glaurung. Here are the last two posts about him.

I'd think that being shot when just a child would have some serious psychological damage. I'm surprised poor Glaurung even got over it...

Wow. That was horribly Off Topic.

When Fingon shot Glaurung he was still, not a young child I'd say, but what we'd class as a teenager, around 15. In combat, would you prefer to face a 15 year old boy/man or a 30 year old man? This is same sort of thing. When Fingon shot Glaurung it was when he was not fully developed and not in close combat.
When Turin met him he was at the height of his power and it was face to face.
See the difference?
