I think that was back when Guillermo del Toro was directing. IIRC, his Smaug design had the wings attached to the hind legs, so that in flight the dragon's silhouette was something like a two-headed axe. Seeing as PJ pretty much redesigned most of the film when he came onboard, I doubt we'll see anything of the GDT designs on the screen...

lol what the heck...at best I could see arms and legs being wings and like, it looks like a reptilian butterfly or some crazy stuff like that. That Del Toro, I tell ya...

Stephen Colbert Teases Caemo in later "Hobbit" Films.

Any guesses where he'll turn up? If he's not voicing a giant eagle I will be so disappointed.

I finally dug this back out of the Funny Image archives.

It's so stupid looking. I hope it's dumb leg wings were incredibly terrible for survival and it went extinct way faster than all the other cool looking dinosaurs.

Fixed that for you.

Dammit, I demand that nature's evolutionary pathways be aesthetically pleasing to my human eyes!

Other animals I hope died horrible deaths:

Epidendrosaurus
Stethacanthus
Quetzlcoatlus/Azdarchid

You wouldn't like some Command Seal pancakes? Or a nice Sword of Promised Victory curacao? It's grapefruit flavor.
