According to the book The Hobbit, Smaug describes himself as such:

"Now I am old and strong. My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are like swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death! I am armored above and below with iron scales and hard gems. No blade can pierce me."

This is the only part in the book in which Smaug describes himself.

Hope this answer helped!

When speaking to Smaug he fears being cursed by evil spells and spirits so he trys to evade telling him who he was and where he was from he refers to him self under many things and names. Quote from the book - "I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air, I am he that walks unseen. I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number. I am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me. I am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. I am Ringwinner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider." - End Quote

Bilbo doesn't want to give Smaug his name for fear of evil spells, but he also doesn't want to refuse Smaug's request for fear of angering the dragon.

How does Bilbo rescue the dwarves?

He rescued the dwarfs twice. After the dwarfs were captured by giant spiders he threw rocks at the spiders, called them names, and led them away from where the dwarfs were hanging in cocoons waiting to be sucked dry. After the spiders were gone, he put on his magic ring, tippytoed back to the dwarfs and used his sword, Sting, to cut them loose and then led them away, sick and dizzy as they were, to safety. Soon after that they were captured again, this time by the elves. Bilbo hung around the elven stronghold long enough to find out where they all were being held and who had the keys. One night, during a feast, the guard with the keys got drunk and passed out. Bilbo took the keys and let the dwarfs out of their prisons, then took the keys back to save the guard from getting in too much trouble. He packed the dwarfs in barrels and casks from the elf warehouse and they were dumped into the river by workmen to be floated down river to the human town. The barrels were formed into rafts by the elves and floated to the town, where Bilbo unpacked everybody at night while the elves had dinner, and they were safe again.
