I missed 3... But I must say I missed #9 & #14 because of the misspelling of Aglarond/Algarond and Snaga/Snagga so I guessed "Bored" when otherwise I . . . ?

15/15.
The misspellings annoyed me. Fun, though!

I managed 15/15, despite not having the pleasure of actually reading BotR. It's on the list!

I got one wrong, and that was because of the Aglaron/Aglarond typo that Bracegirdle mentioned.

15/15 for me, too. 
I am SMAUG! I kill when I wish! I am strong, strong, STRONG!
My armor is like tenfold shields! My teeth like swords! My claws, spears!
The shock of my tail, a thunderbolt! My wings, a hurricane! And my breath, death!

The typos are a bit annoying, but it's fun to see a quiz comparing the two!

Some serious proofreading is needed here!
15/15, too. Well that was easy - only no. 13 made me think for a second. But it was fun.
Thank you, cats16!

Yes, some further editing would have served the quiz well, indeed.
Glad you enjoyed it--once I saw the title on Twitter, I knew it would interest several folks here.

one wrong, because when I saw Algarond and Snagga I immediately went to "Bored" considering the statements HAD to be (technically) incorrect. . .  Grrrr!

Better than I expected, since I've never read Bored of the Rings - but I'm pretty sure there aren't any sequins or pink-tailed boggies in LOTR, LOL!
