"His body recovered from his torment and became hale, but the shadow of his pain was in his heart; and he lived to wield his sword with his left hand more deadly than his right had been. "

(The Silmarillion, ch. 13)

literally so hilarious how so many tolkien fans are obsessed with canon. there is next to no official canon. the only thing that’s fully canon is the lord of the rings, part of the silmarillion and the hobbit (and that’s debatable, even). tolkien had no idea what was canon, he was switching things up all the time. so just pick a version you like a go with it, nobody knows what’s going on. tolkien changed little details over and over to the point where he never finished most of his work, like 25% of the silmarillion is just christopher tolkien smashing notes together and praying it’s what the vision was

last words of Glaurung…

(and he was wittier in the book, even:)

“Thereat Glaurung stirred for the last time ere he died, and he spoke with his last breath, saying: ‘Hail, Nienor, daughter of Húrin. We meet again ere the end. I give thee joy that thou hast found thy brother at last. And now thou shalt know him: a stabber in the dark, treacherous to foes, faithless to friends, and a curse unto his kin, Túrin son of Húrin! But the worst of all his deeds thou shalt feel in thyself.” — The Silmarillion, Of Túrin Turambar
