Describing Bilbo "Motherfucking" Baggins, who set out on a very long journey with the express intention of burglaring a dragon, succeeded in that mission, had a casual chat with the, may I reiterate, DRAGON, along the way, walked away alive, and then played a direct role in murdering said dragon, as a "dragon attack survivor" is an interesting choice.
Gandalf is a troll. He exhibited tolling behaviour throughout the books.
He turned to stone when exposed to sunlight?
He was stoned at night too.
Trolling not troll like.
That's why Bilbo was like "fuck this guy then" and tried to run off
Bilbo was the only one that didn't freak out thoigh, so... maybe he was in on it?
IIRC, he didn't even see it. He was facing away from it when Frodo tackles him.
He's just a kindly granpa.
Maybe he was planning on retelling the story of their run-in with the dragon and was going to use the firework as his big finish to the story
