The 10 Biggest Dragons from House of The Dragon

[@fellino8049]

The Cannibal is the biggest and oldest dragon. He was 35 years older than Balerion. And he's a wild dragon.

[@fernandovillarreal5972]

also he was never caged, Balerion was put in the pit at the end of his life, so the cannibal also had more space to grow

Caraxes is actually bigger than Drogon.. You may be mistaken because of his sleek body shape.

[@GreatOldOne9866]

Lengthwise, right. Because Caraxes does seem to have a smaller wingspan.

[@jongee7034]

Smaller wing span and sleeker body. Seems like yall don’t understand the definition of larger Drogon is bigger in every way and younger. He live completely free and uncontested It can be speculated that his organs would have to grow the speed relative to his unique size. Meaning he could possibly doubled Balarion giving the same age.

No one seen them.

[@wafflingmean4477]

@@administratorshan Morning is dead (poisoned by maesters. Or at least that's what a character from present day in the books theorises). The other three left Westeros. It's likely at least one or all three went to the Shadow Lands near Asshai, since in the first book Bran has a vision of dragons still living there. My theory is at the least, dragons are drawn to focuses of magical power, since its implied Dany's dragons were either aided by or caused the resurgenc of magic in Essos and Westeros. "Hinges of the world" Melisandre calls such places of power. The Wall and Asshai are both known hinges, and Old Valyria probably is. Dragons canonically dislike being near the Wall so they'd go east. Although if any of them were drawn to Asshai they'd have flown by the ruins of Valyria first. If any of them tried to settle there then they'd have died. Balerion returned to Valyria once during Targaryen rule of Westeros. And something was there that seriously wounded him. It's unknown what it was, but anything big enough to hurt Balerion that badly would completely destroy any of those three. But maybe they were able to flee.

[@serendipity4346]

I like that Meleys in on the last one, because even tho she's not one of the biggest dragons, she doesn't need to, since she's probably the fastest dragon in the dance besides Sunfyre or Arrax, her strenght is speed, not size!

[@joshuaadams6565]

Exactly. She doesn’t need weight as she probably accelerates before slamming into another dragon packing a powerful blow.

[@serendipity4346]

@@joshuaadams6565 Exactly! All she needs is acceleration. I'm truly waiting to see Rhaenys riding Meleys, i'm one of those people that believe that Meleys could definitely won the fight against Sunfyre in a 1v1, but not against Vhagar. [Even tho, Meleys can literally outrun Vhagar all day and escape from her] The problem with her 2vs1, is that Sunfyre was almost equally faster to Meleys, and Vhagar was really strong. So Meleys didn't have a chance neither running, or fighting. At least she did some big damage to Sunfyre in the fight.

[@serendipity4346]

​@@joshuaadams6565 Also, i truly respect the hell of Rhaenys as a Dragon Rider. Even tho in the Books we have a lot of better riders trought history, like Alyssane/Alyssa or even Rhaena, but i actually think that she's on my top 5, even on my top 3. The fact that she could take on a battle, a 2vs1, with the BIGGEST Dragon in the entire world at that moment, and one of the fastest dragons in the entire series leaving one of them literally out of combat, really shows a lot about her, and in my perspective is just an incredible feat. Rhaenys was sooo experienced and passionate about it, the fact that she even thinked of an Armor Desing that matched with her dragon just to make her stealthier while riding is soo cool.

[@АртемийАндриевский]

Arrax? Fast? Seems like a pretty clever joke... Cause he didn't outfly Vhagar

[@serendipity4346]

@@АртемийАндриевский Arrax was reaaaally young and inexperienced, there are fasters dragons than him, i know. But if he grew up, i personally believe that he would been like Meleys, a Dragon focused in speed rather than strenght.

The Cannibal being bigger than Balerion is pure fan speculation and doesn't have any basis.

[@maddawg9636]

Well you are half wrong, while we don't have a concrete proof of how large Cannibal was, lots of points imply that he was massive, at the very least I'd say Vhagars size, why? First reason is common folk believing he was on dragonstone before Balerion, some maesters disagree but there's no proof of it being true or not, but it's safe to say that he was close to their age if people believed that, just think about it I don't think people would assume he was older than Balerion if one day he just showed up out of nowhere, at the very least he is older than Vhagar, it wouldn't make sense otherwise. Second reason was the fact that he was NEVER in the Dragon pit, he has been free his entire life which didn't hinder his growth. Third reason and for me personally the most important one, is the fact that Sheepstealer ran away when Cannibal showed up, it wouldn't make sense to me that a Huge dragon such as Sheepstealer would just run away like that at the mere arrival of Cannibal. GRRM created Cannibal this way to give us readers and fans place for theories, he is known to do that. What evidence do we have not to believe Cannibal was as old and as big as the biggest Targaryen dragons? Only the words of some maesters that "don't believe" in it, yet throughout the books we've seen that maesters do tend to make mistakes. At the end of the day, just look at the whole picture of how Cannibal was described, Huge black dragon with emerald green eyes and unique flame, ferocious attitude and bravery. When you think about it, how many Black Dragons do we know of? Balerion (Biggest Targaryen dragon), Drogon (Biggest dragon in GOT, and described as massive for his age), and the darkest of them all Cannibal. This is all I had to say, at the end of the day, they confirmed that all 3 wild dragons will be in season 2 of HOD, and then we will see him. Peace ✌️

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

@@maddawg9636 one thing to keep in mind is that different dragon breeds are supposed to be different sizes, for example the legendary Ice Dragons north of the wall are supposed to be much bigger than Valyrian Dragons. if the Cannibal was already on Dragonstone before the Targaryens arrived it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to assume that it wasn't a Valyrian Dragon, perhaps it was a smaller (explaining why it's smaller than Vhagar (stated to be the largest living dragon during the Dance) and Vermithor (stated to be the second largest dragon during the dance) despite its age) but longer lived (explaining how it's lived longer than Balerion did) breed. it'd also give an easy explaination as to why it behaved so differently to other dragons (actively eating both other dragons and humans) and seemed seemingly untameable.

[@maddawg9636]

@@Eclipsed_Embers "Largest dragon during the dance" can be interpreted - "Largest Dragon that participated in the dance of the dragons", Cannibal never participated in any battles, it was mentioned that he was one of 4 dragons that survived the Dance but that's pretty much it. I'd be extremely disappointed if they decide to make Cannibal smaller even than Vermithor, why paint a picture of something so legendary as Cannibal just to let us all down? I mean if he was smaller or even Vermithors size, why where they letting him attack hatcheries and other dragons, after Grey Ghosts death, they assumed it was Cannibal who killed him, smallfolk were afraid that he will attack them next and Steward Robert Quince demanded that they leave the dragon alone because they didn't want to provoke him, even went as far as to lock Lady Baela Targaryen in her room so she doesn't go to Cannibal with Moondancer because she believed Moondancer can outfly Cannibal easily. Also during the "Sowing" when dragonseeds were trying to tame wild dragons on Dragonstone, NO ONE was foolish enough to go to Cannibal, they tried to tame Vermithor, Seasmoke, Silverwing and Sheepstealer, with Sheepstealer killing more dragonseeds than other dragons combined. Once again, I am not speaking with 100% certainty and it may very well turn out that Cannibal was nothing but a fluke or just a myth or something even, but the whole portrayal around him leads me to believe that he is as big and old as I am imagining.

[@mikered1974]

​​​@@maddawg9636again its been disproven by the Author himself GRRM Vhagar is indeed the Oldest & Largest Dragon( Both Tame & Wild ) in the Time of Dance of the Dragon( Both in Books & Shows ) that means Cannibal is just a 2nd Generation Dragon that was never Tamed Just Look at Vermithor the Second Largest Dragon its Not the Second oldest Dragon But Dreamfyre but because this Dragon Lived its full life in Dragonpits it stagnated its Growth while Vermithor was never put in Dragonpits in its Entire Life, Jaehaerys I & Allyssane put there Dragons within Red Keep & not in Dragonpits and when they Die there Dragons ( Vermithor & Silverwing ) was never put in Dragonpits but in Dragonstones thats why these two Dragons are so Large Compare too there older & Younger Sibling Dragons "Older Siblings " (Dreamfyre,Quicksilver Killed by Black Dread ) "Younger Siblings " (Meleys , Caraxes , Cannibal ).

If we’re being technical Danny’s dragons shouldn’t be very big at all because the young dragons in this show (arras) are about 11 years old and are super tiny and drogon is only 7 and is double or triple their sizes and that’s only because the GOT shoe runners had to boost up the dragons sizes for the final seasons

[@FreezErmac519]

Meleys is definitely bigger than Drogon.. Her and Caraxes are almost the same size, Caraxes has a longer and skinnier body due to his neck (which is defensless) Meleys looks more massive with spikes covering her short neck which gives her a big advantage since the neck is a dragon's weakness... no wonder the hightower locked Rhaenys in keeping her away from Meleys then tending to bring her at their table considering Meleys' significant power.
