[@agrimmeon9308]

@@juliuscristerbaito2799 Vhagar and Meraxes were sired by at least 1 of the other 4 dragons brought to Westeros by the Targaryens. There's is no evidence to suggest what their sexes were besides for the existence of Vhagar and Meraxes which implies there were at least 2 females out of the 5 dragons. Balerion clearly didn't lay Vhagar or Meraxes himself because he wouldn't be considered male if that was the case. Its more likely that they were predominantly female, so that the dragons could continue to reproduce. Though in addition to the 5 dragons, the Targaryens brought 4 dragon eggs. There is a possibility that Vhagar and Meraxes hatched from these eggs instead of one of the other dragons. But its implied that they weren't.

BIG SPOILER (look away): Why did you say Laena's "husband and future rider. of Vhagar.. and no they are not mutually exclusive." But Prince Aemond is the future rider of Vhagar, while Daemon is Laena's future husband. Those 2 are actually mutually exclusive. I mean we know that Daemon jumped on to Vhaegar's back and killed Aemond, so does that mean Daemon was technically the last to rider her, even though they all plunge to their heartbreaking deaths moments later?

[@marcusaurelias399]

Nice to see someone who knows the story. All these dumb articles about what will happen in, "House of Dragon," make me laugh. We already know what happens. I just hope they don't eff it up like GOT. Question though. Was Vhagar so sad after her death he flew away? And how did Aemond find Vhagar?

[@daytonab8755]

I mean if you consider Daemon, Aemond falling from the sky with their dragons a last ride, I guess that makes sense.

[@AshePBlack]

Honestly got was changed a bit from books which some fans were upset with certain ones. Based on got we loosely know end of the war. Assuming got and house of the dragon keep family tree same in books and shows we get way way way more spoilers. The only reason I care if family trees are same is because some of the characters are already diff, I assume story is 80 plus percent same in general. And there's no point me having fave characters as many die. I hope daemon lives just cuz him and driftwood family at least in show are only mature adults in room of adults who act like children. And I don't like greens as are in show. Alicent lives by fear and is hypocritical, she bred hate in her family and targaryens don't need encouragement in certain behaviors

[@dougiebull2074]

He looked like a mutant croc and old battle worn.him and the blood wyrm are too of the most original dragons i even seen in fantasy

[@Tarnished-bn5gq]

Vhagar was a good representation of the ancestral psychopathy of the Targaryens, though not as much as Belarion was.

[@jeffwinn673]

I really enjoyed the video. However, there may be one error to correct. At around 10 minutes 20 seconds, you mention the death of Meraxes by a scorpion shot and how it effected Aegon and Rhaenys. You then say "in their mirth..." The definition of mirth is "amusement, especially expressed in laughter." I don't think they were feeling mirth - especially in the context of your video. I think you may have used the word accidentally. You may want to change that if you have the ability to edit it without too much trouble. I really enjoyed the video so I just wanted to offer this small criticism so it could be corrected. Thanks for publishing this video!

thing about the dragons i dont like is how they are treated by their riders, we treat our dogs better, hell if you want a comparison from the same universe, the Starks took better care of their wolves than the Targaryens did with their dragons. If i was in the universe as a dragon rider, man, we would hunt at least 3x week, i would train him/her every day (as with dogs i would prefer a she-dragon, i find the females easier to train and please than the males), we would explore distant lands and i would not have the dragon confined to a pit when i was in Kings landing, i would dismiss it to the wilds to hunt and feed itself, no pampering or anything of the sort, they are way too majestic and treated way too poorly in general

[@sirserious2790]

I completely agree with you on dog's gender .. I have a she dog and I gotta say , although she has attachment issues and can't bare with my absence during the day , but she is just more focused and eager to learn new things everyday cuz she has more understanding of what makes me happy ... And I had 3 male dogs throughout the years so my opinion is. : in overall gender comparison , females are more empathetic, caring, reasonable, fun and more playful Instagram (this is only my experience)

[@weedhigh2564]

@@sirserious2790 mine are lab/rottie mix one is 7 the other one 1 and i would not really describe them as you did at least not as caring and reasonable (they are females afterall so reasonable goes out the window like straight away) but they are my sweethearts and would not really change anything about them, at least now the days are fun and full of action as the younger one keeps me constantly on my toes when we are not training, when training she changes completely and devotes herself to the task at hand completely, even at such young age. The thing is,females dont have that much attitude, they will not fight you for shit they will trick you into giving it to them out of your own free will and even be happy about it, at least mine are this way :D

[@chelseasherrell6277]

Or let them stay in the Dragonmont on Dragonstone. Thats where most of the dragons, before the construction of the dragonpit, hung out anyway. Plenty of sheep on the island and fish all around. I agree with you on the lameness of so many of them being chained up in the dragonpit - that's What made it so easy for all the holyrolling dingdongs to kill them all.

[@weedhigh2564]

@@chelseasherrell6277 most likely my dragon would live with me or me with her, i would probably aim for the same arrangement i have with my dogs, where i go they go or we dont go, where i sleep they sleep, where i eat they eat, i think this way even tho you risk attachment issues (which are easily mitigated to a certain point) it is the best way if you want to have a good relationship with your dogs, they have a way of knowing when you make sacrifices for them and they repay them tenfold everytime and with dragons beeing even more intelligent than dogs (or so they say) i can see this method working really well with them as well.

Yes, he is known as the oldest largest dragon of the Targaryen‘s bc the Targaryen’s dragons are supposedly the only dragons remaining there is no texts that talk about other dragons after the doom of Valeria.

[@Richard_Frost]

@@alexh6767 There are countless theories on the web about what caused the massive and severe wounds Balerion had suffered. What is known and does have proof, is that prior to Balerion being injured so severely, he showed no sign of his growth slowing, nor was any dragon known to have ever died of old age. Only after suffering such severe wounds and slowly recovering did his growth stop, and he became lethargic and lacking in strength. As far as proof of my theory about what hurt him, there is none, as the author intentionally kept it a mystery, as no-one knows what really happened or where they had disappeared to in universe. Considering his rider was charred black however, I feel it's heavily implied it was a fight with another fire breathing beast, and considering Balerion had single handedly killed a number of other large/adult dragons without so much as a scratch, it's implied whatever fucked him up to the state he was in must have been viscously deadly. There are also countless rumors in lore about wild dragons existing in the southern continent, in Valeria's ruins, as well as in the far east beyond the grey wastes.
