Every (20) Ferocious Dragons That Will Appear In House Of Dragons Series - Backstories Explored

Ever since the trailer for House of the Dragon dropped, we’re sure everyone’s been wondering just how many dragons did the Targaryens used to own?! For fans of Game of Thrones - and we don’t know how many are left after Season 8 - the sight of the might of House Targaryen might be a brand-new spectacle. After all, Daenerys Targaryen only had 3 dragons, and you could really exchange them for one another in terms of personality and even CGI. By contrast, the Targaryen dragons of her ancestors not only look like the fearsome beasts described in George R. R. Martin’s epic saga, they also act like them. Every dragon we saw in the trailer, showed personality - especially a certain Bloody Wyrm that we will get to - but that got us thinking: is HBO going all-in on the source material? Because in Fire & Blood, at the peak of their power in Westeros, the Targaryens controlled a score of dragons; it’s just unfortunate that that was at the eve of a civil war. Given the fact that they’ve gone through the effort to make the dragon bones black as opposed to the museum exhibits of its predecessor, we’d wager that House of the Dragon plans to be as faithful an adaptation as it can be. And that can only mean one thing for us here at Marvelous Videos: it’s time to talk about every dragon that will appear in House of the Dragon - Ranked. And before you dive in, let us warn you that there are inevitably going to be some spoilers in this video. So proceed with caution.

Can’t wait to see Sunfire. We always hear about how gorgeous that dragon was

I can’t wait to see more of Caraxes! Daemon was nailed with Matt Smith and I’ve got a good feeling about the rest of the series!

[@gabrijelaziza9768]

Yes we can see that he and his dragon share a special bond just like daenerys and drogon

[@emilybarclay8831]

Ironically enough Caraxes was the dragon of Daemon’s uncle, the father of Rhaenys, who is his political rival for much of their youth although they end up on the same side. Caraxes’s first rider Aemon did often ride alongside his siblings who were Daemon’s parents, with Daemon’s mother Alyssa taking them up on her dragon Meleys when he was just days old, so Caraxes has literally known Daemon since pretty much the day he was born. It’s quite sweet how close of a relationship they have. The fact that Rhaenys took Daemon’s mother’s dragon and Daemon took Rhaenys’s father’s dragon may hint to how intertwined their stories are, since despite them being first cousins Rhaenys becomes Daemon’s mother in law lol

[@anthonyufert8477]

Ryan Condol, head writer for HOTD, said we’ll get 17 dragons overall but only see 9 during the first season. Great video! Love the attention to details.

[@rogueninja185]

"Only"? Nine is great for a first season of a few episodes only.

[@1992zorro]

Why 17? There are 20-21 Dragons involved in The Dance.

[@Floristini]

@@1992zorro I was just thinking about this, I think they might be cutting the few dragons that don't really do anything in the Dance, being: - Morghul; - Shrykos; - Tyraxes; - Cannibal, maybe? It's a bit of a shame, wish they could do all of them, but it's understandable why at least those that stay in the Dragonpit wouldn't be shown.

[@maryamazad9910]

@@Floristini im pretty sure stormcloud is gonna be cut since all he does is get killed by sunfyre

[@Floristini]

@@maryamazad9910 I think you mean Grey Ghost, but yeah, could be. Still, it's a dragon fight that ends up being important, since it's what lures Baela and Moondancer to Dragonstone, so I'm assuming that, if they don't show the battle itself, they should at least show the dead Grey Ghost, which counts I guess? So between Cannibal and Grey Ghost I would lean more towards Cannibal being cut, and maybe just mentioned or something.

[@nohawk8275]

It’s crucial to remember that Fire and Blood is mostly a fantastic history book. Meaning that some things may happen in the show that weren’t discussed in the book. So we could still see some of the lesser dragons have some feats in the show.

[@traemaxwell]

Vhagar is going to be badass! Looking forward to that epic dragon duel above the God's Eye!

[@leticiaventurinizeferino4392]

caraxes is unique, a dragon created for its rider, damon had many options to claim as Vermathor and vhagar but preferred the Blood Wyrm, his evil, unpredictable and feared clone, who loves chaos ,everything we want to see on the show

[@LMB943]

I loved Drogon too. He is a beautiful dragon. It will be nice to see more dragons, different ones and also more of their personality.

[@erikmurray3661]

I agree he was the best looking dragon

[@Radec913]

Drogon is best looking dragon in whole film/tv show industry ever.

[@deeplydownside]

I was waiting for you guys to mention Morning! Though I suppose she’s born towards the end of the Dance & never fights. Something about a pink dragon with black horns and golden wing membranes just excites the pastel goth in me. Hopefully we’ll see her in the final season! I’m so excited. Great video, guys! Totally agree with your rankings.

[@kevinvest9693]

Caraxes and Vahgar are my 2 favorite dragons in the dance. I can't wait till the battle over the gods eye!

[@tanxeelhanif]

Just imagine if like the books each dragon also breathed different colored fire just like color of their body .. for example balerion flames were dark black with red streak .. sunfyre had golden flames .. Tessarions fire was cobalt blue .. Quick silver had pale white fireballs

[@aegonii8471]

[@dawnhankins9534]

I really loved the dragons in house of the dragon. While we go a few episodes with no dragons and that frustrated me, I loved their designs being so different we could easily tell them apart, from color to silhouette. The final episode definitely had the best dragons. The only thing I hated was how dark the whole series was, if I wasn't in pitch black I could tell what was going on...

With dragons being able to live super long time, I would like to see one of those re appear in Jon Snow tv show. With Jon possible being able to mount it. Cannibal would be great

[@gudhaxer41343]

I must add this may be the best videos on the dragons I ever watched. 2nd Edit: That last Dragon in the video who you thought was Vhagar, it wasn’t.

i hope to see cannibal, by the dance of dragons he mustve outgrown balerion since he was much older, the biggest untamed dragon of the time, he shouldve been seen in HotD since he flew over corlys velaryons funeral, imagine seeing a beast almost twice the size of balerion. i hope he makes it to the screen PD he was one of the 4 dragons surviving the dance of dragons, and dissapeard. Not to be seen again, also, dragons in freedom live much longer, balerion died cuz he was kept in the pit for his last 20 years while cannibal was always free.
