Girion was the last Lord of Dale, killed by the dragon Smaug when Smaug assaulted Dale and the neighboring Dwarven realm of Lonely Mountain (Erebor). However, his wife (name unknown) escaped. One-hundred and seventy-four years later, Bard, Girion's descendant, took revenge on the dragon, slaying him by shooting an arrow at the only vulnerable spot in his body. It is also mentioned in The Hobbit that Girion had a necklace of emeralds, later found among the treasures hoarded by Smaug in the Lonely Mountain.
