The Age of Different Dragons in House Of The Dragons

[@panosts6178]

Caraxes, even if he's considered deformed, has the optimal body shape for a dragon. Being longer and having a second set of wings ensures maximum maneuverability that doesn't diminish a lot as he grows bigger and heavier. And he's fierce af. From a fighting perspective he's the ideal war dragon in my opinion followed by Vhagar

Balerion only ever fought one other dragon and that was the comparatively puny quicksilver.

[@maxzorgdrager4307]

It really shows how much bigger they made the dragons in GOT as season 8 drogon and arrax were the same age

[@beckyweiss6072]

I think it actually has to do with how the dragons grew up over the years. In GRRM's lore, he says that the size of the lair when the dragons grow will factor into how large they grow (or something to that effect). Arrax started in the dragon pit immediately and made his lair in the dragon pit. In contrast, Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion spent their life in the open skies, and little to no time in a den like area. Drogon is bigger than Rhaegal and Viserion because the latter two ended up being chained up for a few months before they were set free - in the show, it was Tyrion. In the books, I can't remember who. Meanwhile Drogon flew around and did as he pleased. It is entirely possible that Rhaegal and Viserion would have been able to catch up to Drogon in growth given time, but they obviously didn't get that chance. And who knows how they'll perish in the books. But I do think all three of them will in one way or another, I'll be surprised if they don't.

I think you really underestimated dreamfyre. She was older than vermithor and silverwing, and was the biggest dragon after them and vhagar. Despite us only seeing her in the dragonpit, she spent the first 30+ years of her life free

[@Themistocles30]

Caraxes looks like a mixture of a Chinese dragon or hydra.

[@thebactrian7]

During the dance Sunfyre was in his 20s and Dreamfyre definitely eclipses Seasmoke in size wo she’s prolly more towards 150 in length

[@jege830]

While watching this you could realize how big Dany’s dragon really grew. Even if Viserion and Rhaegal were locked up they still grew pretty big at the age of 7 which is very VERY young ( which is also sad because they were so young when they were killed ). Syrax and many other dragons were at least the size of season 5 Drogon or at least a little bit more bigger than that even though they were much older than him. At the end of the season, Drogon was 7-8 years old and huge. I get that all 3 dragons had pretty much a lot of freedom to grow pretty large but still.

[@sonofjack6286]

6:22 Silverwing is less of a companion to Vermithor and more of a mate. Having their riders being husband and sister-wife to each other for like fifty years certainly helped them have a closer bond than most dragons have with each other. Seven so help me, I will die on the "Vermithor and Silverwing are Husband & Wife" Hill.

[@chefr.l.e742]

It’s because they kept the dragon’s housed in the dragon pit. If they had allowed the dragons to run free and hunt on their own they would definitely be bigger. That’s why some are bigger than some of the others. Like in GOT drogon was bigger than viserion and Rhagal because he wasn’t chained up

[@shonensensei2.025]

@@chefr.l.e742 the dragon pit wasn't a thing until Maegor the cruel and wasn't completed until 55AC under the rule of Jaehaerys (the king before Viserys). The dragons we're speaking of are much much older then that.

[@dominikakrajcovicova6101]

This quote from Dany's sums it all, since Targaryen dragons spent most of their life in a dragonpit: "This place was the beginning of the end for my family. A dragon is not a slave. They were terrifying, extraordinary. They filled people with wonder and awe, and we locked them in here. They wasted away. They grew small and we grew small as well. We weren’t extraordinary without them. We were just like everyone else.” HotD dragons were most of their life locked away, hidden, so they'd not scare people of KL. They grew small and slow. That's why Dany's dragons didn't as they were free most of their life, so they grew fast. That's why Rhaegal and Viserion were smaller and slower than Drogon as they were chained up in Meereen.They were not that skilled as Drogon was in the world, hunting and maneuvering around, so they were slower and perhaps - that's why they were easier to kill in the end.

[@shonensensei2.025]

@@dominikakrajcovicova6101 Certain Dragons being smaller due to the dragon Pitt is true, but Craxes Meleys are both older then the Pitt by 10+ years or more and danny dragon grew as large as they did in as much time or less then. Secondly Drogon has always been naturally bigger then Viserion or Rhaegal. When Daenerys made the "deal" with the slavers of Astapor for the Unsullied Army they requested the "biggest dragon" and Drogon was who she brought and then he proceeded to burn them alive.

Didn’t Vermax and Arrax hatch when Jace and Luke were born? Making them essentially the same age as their riders? I remember Alicent saying something along the lines of “it’s a wonder their eggs even hatched at all” in episode 6, I think, when she was implying to the King they were bastards.

They probably hatched within a year of Jace and Luc. Not sure exactly how long it takes for dragon eggs to hatched after being placed in the cradle, but not usually very long.

Arrax is definetely not 6. Luce is 14 in epsiode 10 and his egg was put in his cradle. It definitely wasnt 8 years before his egg hatched, given that Laena told Rhaena that her egg wasnt going to hatch after not doing so for so long. Arrax should be close to Luce's age. Same with Vermax, he would be close to Jace's age of 16 Also just gotta say, that dragon that attacked Aemond was Seasmoke, not Dreamfyre. You can see that his wings are the same orangeish color that Seasmoke had and his chest is whiteish grey. I dont understand why everyone seems to think it was Dreamfyre, that dragon was way too small to be dreamfyre and the wrong color.

Firstly because Vermithor is a male (they’re generally bigger than females) and secondly Dreamfyre has spent half her life in the Dragon Pit. Dragons never stop growing, but only do so according to the size of their surroundings. She’s basically been caged. Vermithor has spent at least half his life free following the death of King Jaehaerys, so has had open lands to grow (free dragons are always larger). I’ve read the books and the show is pretty accurate with the dragon sizes, apart from Vhagar is perhaps a bit too big, but she is about 180 years old. You have to think that Vermithor is the 2nd largest and is 100. Caraxes is only 50!

He’s also highly intelligent (perhaps the smartest of all the dragons) and by far the most aggressive because he has to compensate for his deformity.
