Smaug, the dragon in The Hobbit, boasted to Bilbo about being "armoured above and below with iron scales and hard gems." However, when he displayed his underside for Bilbo's examination, Bilbo discovered a large bare patch of flesh, and thus a vulnerability, in the hollow of his left breast. Bard the Bowman slew Smaug by shooting a black arrow into this hollow.
