- What happened to every dragon in the World of Ice and Fire?
This video is a look at every known dragon in the Game of Thrones Prequel: House of the Dragon as well as other dragons in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Fire and Blood"
We will also touch on the age and size of every known dragon in Game of Thrones. That’s 28 dragons. It’s subjective, but I’ve got 7 dragons BIGGER, than Season 7 Drogon.

Caraxes vs Vhagar was the saddest dragon fight to ever happen in the GoT lore as both dragons used to be very close to one another. Vhagar and Caraxes flew together as a team ridden by two brothers during the reign of the Old King Jaehaerys, they were also ridden by a loving couple and they often flew together before ending up killing each other horribly above The Gods Eye. Heck, Vhagar even shared a hell lot of connections with Daemon as Vhagar's second rider happens to be his father and later on his first wife became her third rider so the thought killing Vhagar without a doubt would've been a very painful thing to do for Daemon.
Yup :*(

This made me change my opinion on the prequel series. I now want the Dance/Death of the Dragons as a show. Thank you
Lol
It would be sick for sure. Be we know exactly what happens, so it'd be kinda lame in a sense
@@bridge4 oh yeah that's a good point. But how many people who just watch the show know all this?
Well the show hasn't even mentioned him, have they?
If not'.he'd be left out for that reason. He never even enters the story
@@moelester2797 That's also true. Basically every story they could tell is awesome. I'd evem watch Xaro Xhoan Doxas become the richest man of Qarth to be honest
I think that Balerion's size is actually underestimated due to the fact that it says in the books that "his teeth were as long and sharp as swords", and the skull we saw in the show was not even close to that
That could just be poetic exaggeration though.
Possibly. But it's also possibly they they went a different rought with the ratio of tooth to skull size
Great point about the scales and "flesh and musculature" as george described it in the princess and the queen (or the dance section of fire and blood)
Could be that the creators of the show just didn't get it right compared to George's vision. Take the Iron throne for instance, the show made it WAY smaller and less exaggerated than what George had written in the books. House Of The Dragon does a much better job with the throne design
@@S3Cs4uN8 3 year later…it indeed was not😂😂…perhaps they were even bigger compared to how big vhagar is in HotD
when you put drogons age to cmpare with his size personally i wouldn't be surprised if hes the size of westeros if he reaches balerions age
Yeah, but I thing when they are young they grow the most
I fear he wont live to that age.
Admiral Thrawn I know right? I mean Drogon is six years old and he’s already the 8th largest dragon. There’s no doubt in my mind that Drogon would be the biggest dragon in all of GOT if he lives long enough.
Remember the story mentioned about how if you keep a dragon chained up, the metal collar will prevent it grow. I don’t remember but I think drogon has never been chained like his siblings.
Yeah he is only 7 years old and is twice as big as other dragons at the age of 7 in this video.
Why does this bring a tear to my eye? Why do I care about fictional dragons?
why wouldnt you care about fictional dragons? :-P
If no one cared about fictional beings then books, tv shows, games and other things wouldnt be as popular as they are.
A quote from the Harry Potter series applies here:
"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”
Probably because like me, I believe they are so empathic that they would be willing to forgive us for our cruelty to them. It's common but sad knowledge of their low birth rates and lack of interaction with kindred spirits. This is probably a reason for their willingness to form bonds with humans. Take poor Rhaegal for example. Can you imagine how GOT might have ended if he survived? Didn't mean to bore you. I'm 63 and I still can't stand to see such a wonderful beautiful creature bleed to death for absolutely nothing. They should rewrite the entire final season and show their dragons a little more 💘.
Great quote!
I often ask myself the same thing. I think it’s combo of a few things. One, we have a vested interest in Dany’s dragons surviving because we saw them hatch and grow and we grew with them through years.
Also the show designed them with the loyal personalities of dogs in mind.... they fly like bats and love like dogs.
For anyone who has a special bond with their dog, watching Drogon love Dany is very familiar.... obviously my dog can’t fly and breath fire, but if he could, and I was getting my ass kicked in the fighting pits, for sure he’d do exactly what Drogon did to save me.
Drogon is so young, he has the potential to be the biggest dragon ever.
He probebly will
We will never know, there will be no more seasons
@@ia1348 We can hope for a sequel that takes place hundreds of years later.
I see I see 👌🏽
@Trusted Mars LOL XD
The vhagar and arrax battle in HOTD was beautifully shot. Sad lucerys and his dragon died, he seemed like a nice boy
Awesome scene. You can't control these beautiful beasts!
The landing scene was incredible too.
Lil Arrax landed perfectly in the middle of the courtyard of storms end like a helicopter then all of a sudden we see this monstrous thing that dwarfs Storms End outer gates start moving. You know the VFX team did a great job when George himself was struggling to describe just how much he enjoyed that entire part of the episode
A wonderful scene I’m excited to see what’s to come! The whole of season 1 was basically a prologue to the dance of dragon
Many people suspect that dragons are more than mere animals and the bond between a dragon and his rider is most likely telepathic. There's a story about Dreamfyre that seems to support that. Her last rider was Halaena Targaryen. At some point, for reasons still unknown, Halaena committed suicide by throwing herself out of her window in Maegor's Holdfast. At the exact moment Halaena died, Dreamfyre snapped her chains and roared so loud that the entire Dragonpit shook.
The are several examples of that. Syrax fighting from the ground..caraxes roar as sheepsteeler flew off, caraxes and vhagar hissing pre fight despite having previously flown the world together, silverwing/vermithor love
Halaena was driven mad with grief wasn't she?
Daenerys and Drogon can be used as an example too, he sensed she was in danger in the dragonpit and came to save her, or when she wanted the lannister soldiers to kneel, Drogon did turn at some point and roared at them because she wanted them to kneel and they didn't at first! And with viserion and rhaegal, they did mention they weren't eating cause they knew Dany wasn't in mereen, but the moment she was there flying with drogon she looked down and they escaped to join her!
Yeah I like to think that dragons are more than war machine, mere beasts it adds a neat layer of depth that makes them cooler imo
Welp watch the latest episode😭😭
Silverwing and Vermithor....That story is so moving that it makes me cry every single time! Great video kev, thanks
For sure :*(
Better love story than twilight
"every single time...?" lol how many times u gonna watch this?
Bruh someone gotta make a series about these dragons & the whole targaryen fam
Shady right! I was thinking the same thing
Thank you
They should!
Maybe an animated series since the CH wouldnt* be so expensive??
Your wish is finally granted.
I'm watching Targaryen dragons for mental support, because DAENARYS ONLY HAS ONE DRAGON LEFT OMGGGGGGGG
Fancy TOMATOE hoping to see canibal awakaned in the next episode, or maybe his children, since he did make a lair in dragon stone.
(maybe rhaegal's death motivates him into helping or something)
But with the way things are now drogon would most likely be killed.
Was Drago the dragon we saw when Sir Jorah kidnapped Tyrion and Sir Jorah got dragonscale from his fight with stone men?
GA Peach do you mean drogon if so yes it was drogon, there is actually a very interesting fan theory that drogon flew from meeren to valyria to lay eggs and at the time drogon was away she was taking care of her babies(explaining why drogon took time before returning) , and the young dragons would join the fight in The battle against cercei.
Though i highly doubt this would happen.
I bet they will build armor for the last dragon so the bolt won’t kill it. I’m really hoping to see that
Zappa Gaming that would be cool too, though the thickness of the armor would slow down drogon,
Am I the only one who wonders how a group of rioters managed to kill 4 dragons at once?
Numbers and blind violence I believe, they didn't make it without a great sacrifice
The dragons were chained down in a collapsing/burning building where the rioters, numbering in the hundreds, where able to enter from all sides. Some of the dragons couldnt even turn around due to the chains so the killers just came in through the back and killed them. It wasnt an easy feat. Most of the people entering the pit didnt come back out. I always wondered the same thing until as you until i read Fire and Blood.
A big group?
Well as Jorah Mormont said to Dany, they're dragons and can't be tamed. The Targaryens likely had figured out how to dominate a dragon in case they went rogue. It was a time when dragons were fighting everywhere, it is very likely that even the smallfolk had to figure out a way to protect themselves from the dragons.. Also, the dragonpit was designed to keep the dragons inside.. Maybe even chained with heavy metals.. If enough people decided to storm into the pit and slaughter them, they couldn't get out by themselves, not without their rider.
The dragons were chained up in the dragon pit and there were tens of thousands of rioters
Would love to see Sunfyre in a movie/show, despite serving a terrible rider, he was said to be the most beautiful Dragon in the world.
Before the fight of sunfyre and Vhagar vs meleys that was true. Afterwards sunfyre was a broken thing that could not fly properly much less look anything approaching beautiful
guess what
@@Anonymous-uq8gq it’s pretty much the Darth Vader of dragons, broken and crippled, but powerful enough to be a threat
Lol idk if I would compare it to Darth Vader I mean the dragon couldn't even fly anymore after they fought. Vader was still one of the best duelist after being burned
now you have it
I think drogon will be the biggest dragon becauce he is only like 6 and he is already one of the biggest dragons
if he survives
I'm with ya... a big "if" unfortunately
hes a big target for The Night King unfortunately. the most dangerous of anything in the existence
but nobody will know, cause this season will be in pretty small time range. if there won't be some of last scenes future scene, we won't know how big he will grow :D
Slayerofdragons04 Leboeuf Yeah, being big this young makes me believe he’ll be even bigger than Belerion in less than half the Black Dread’s age.
I'll be so pissed if dragons go extinct again by the series finale.
Buğra Kaan Akıncı Da I have a theory that Dany will find out Drogon got the other Dragon pregnant and there’ll be more dragon eggs
Lol that's what's gonna happen.
Technically, they're still extinct since they don't have a viable breeding population.
Buğra Kaan Akıncı Da lol me too my friend I love the lore of all the dragons within the GOT Universe
I wouldn't be surprised if they did go extinct again but perhaps there will be some eggs left for if dragons are needed down the line.
This is the best Game of Thrones/ASOIAF channel on UA-cam by a very large margin.
I cant vouch for thr because i get my fill of game of thrones rereading,making projects, ans chatting
But i appreciate the kind words. Ans im trying my best. Thank you, ser!
So strange to me how i'm watching House of The Dragon and i've grown to care more about the fate of the CGI dragons than a lot of the central characters in the show.
Love how all these 100 years old are about the same size as our boy that's like 6
Only in the show, in the books he is much smaller.
@@mi7sen95 in the books he is still in essos shortly after the arena of meereen.. show-drogon was much smaller back then too.
@@mi7sen95
The book is also far behind the show.. smh
mi7sen95 the last generation of dragons were born sick and only grew to be small so it’s still sort of accurate but they did die early too
@@mi7sen95 the books arw wayyyy behind the show tho. When they catch up to the show. He'll probably be around the same size.
So, Drogon is still alive. Sheepstealer and The Cannibal, too. There are still dragons! I'm happy and content. Lol
I doubt the latter two or silverwing simply because they havent been seen in over 100 years. But you never know! :))
@@bridge4
You thing the Cannibal has a massive, untouched Skeleton maybe somewhere underneath Dragonstone? Must've starved with no other Dragons to eat.
(Maybe he was too big to leave whatever cave he was in, which is why he ate any born down there, but why didn't the Targaryens ever move the hatchery away then if they knew he was eating them?)🤔
@bridge4 Makes your wonder how long the Cannibal lived though and if he was alive long after people had considered the last season l dragon to already be dead. It is kind of amazing to imagine him being underneath dragonstone while Stannis and Dany spend their time there!
Danys is my fave measurement cause Daenerys and I are the same height so I can get some real and slightly horrifying perspective
Lol
Jo Hawthorne i dont think a few foot will matter when you’re scaling dragons. All of is would be terrifying small.
Your a man? You're small.
Jo Hawthorne so you’re a hobbit. 🤔
It's okay short girls are nice
The fact that drogon is only 6 and hes one of the biggest, if he grows to be balerions age or around that he will for sure be bigger
For sure. Think the dragons survive the next year of their lives tho?
Dragons size doesn't necessarily have to do with age. If a dragon is kept in captivity say like the dragon pit or like danys dragons held in the pyramid it stunts their growth. I'm wondering whether you took this into consideration when making this?
@@Welsh_Dragon756 dragons size has a ton to do with age.
Drogon and balerion were both kept out of captivity, so that's not a factor in the size of drogon as compared to balerion
Gavin Jones Drogon was never in the pits tho right?
he 7 in season 8
_Me next to Drogon_
Perfect scale size
Lol
Trusted Mars the direwolves in the books are pretty much around the same size (give or take) which is roughly pony size, Ghost being the largest in the books. So kinda unnecessary
Fuck you Bastard! You are no Targaryen. You are a kinslayer.
Theres a sad tale between Caraxes and Vhagar
Once they were rode by two brothers, a husband and wife, traveled to essos together, and ends up killing each other.
Your animations are gorgeous, by the way. And they way you present has helped me better understand everything, overcoming my learning disabilities. My fiance got me into the series when we met, but I feel like I am finally understanding the lore, because of your videos. Thank you so very much!
The pleasure is mine. Thank you for the kind words and support :))
I'm a visual learner btw. So I try to present stuff in ways that I think would be effective for me
It's hard tho. I'm trying my best :)
what is the name of the motion comic he uses?
Game of thrones histories and lore (from the HBO bluerays, found on youtube)
i already realized something i could've added. when i mentioned the literal and figurative "cannibalizing" that went on, i should've shown the clip of Sunfyre eating Rhaenyra. ah well
Still can't get over the fact you commanded my last video :D
I thought they mentioned that previous dragons had been much bigger, but the more they died off, the smaller they were.
I enjoyed the video and is Danny feeding her brother to her dragon (Drogo) a conclusion of another dance?
commanded?
yeah, a big factor was age tho. they basically all died within 2 years. so the younger dragons were much smaller
I think its a shame Daemon/Caraxes and Aemond/Vhagar die so early in the dance, they're the most interesting characters with the most interesting dragons
I guess that will be season 2 finale..
It’s the first pillar that falls for Rhaenyra and her strongest
all them mfs died horribly deaths and the dance of dragons was coming to a end
Not that early really (more like 60%ish thru into the war) it'll probably be sometime in s3. If I had to guess I'd say around 6 episodes into s3.
S2 will be 8 episodes and probably end in the middle of the Battle of the Gullet or after the battle with Rhaenyra seizing King's Landing.
Luckily s3 will have 12 episodes to compensate as per Ryan Condal.
So... All this is telling me is that the Targaryens enjoyed killing one another.
wh0rrendous and marrying one another
The problem is that medieval succession is too unstable as a system and George uses this fact to not only criticise it but to create fun stories from the holes in medieval succession theory:
Who comes first, the daughter of the king's first marriage or the son of his second marriage?
What do you do as a king if your firstborn son is a weakling or exceedingly cruel, hotheaded and flippant but your second son is everything you envisioned in your successor? Naming the second son as heir is almost akin to starting war so it isn't cut and dry.
What happens if the King dies and the wife has to be Queen Regent to a boy under 16? The Lords, Earls, Barons, War Commanders, Religious Leaders and more begin to circle like sharks, each trying to sway the regent to their own bidding or even take over.
Do you have only two children or do you have a tonne of children to secure your house's standing but risk the possible family split leading to a vicious civil war?
There is so much that can go wrong. Our own real life history has many of the intrigues we witness in ASOIAF minus the Dragons and magic overall.
@@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive
You'd think they'd have a set system of laws that would dictate multiple scenarios and what to do with them if time came to choose... or at least that's what I would do.
Sure it won't stop a few wars from happening here and there, but surely a system could be made that would lessen the amount of wars waged
No way she have love the humans want kill dragons other place mall number of dragons on planet shild us i caves never say it again
It will be nice if Cannibal will return
omfg. how big can he be after so many years?
That would be unreal! :))
Pretty-pretty-pretty big
at such an age he'd likely be too big to fly - maybe he would have become a sea dragon and then an ICE dragon? probs wishful thinking on my part.
I hope he doesn't though..... Wouldn't that be lazy writing..!.? Mid battle when all is in fly's a monstrous dragon and kills everything.... They were a little lazy and rushed last season I felt...
Every dragon: killing and destroying one another
Tessarion and Seasmoke: helloooo hot dragon
I'm currently listening to the audiobook and I'm right in the middle of The Dying of the Dragons. And I just can't help but have this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that makes me think that the Targaryens are all to blame for the dragons disappearing. In their jealousy, greed, and hatred towards each other they killed off almost ALL of the last dragons, without even thinking about the ramifications. George really knows how to write complex characters! Making me love and dynasti and yet HATE the family that ruled it, not an easy task :P
But let's be honest, ASOIAF is a VAST world, there are more dragon north of Asshai in the Shadowlands, or even on Sothoryos. As well as the fact that ALL dragons died in the Doom of Valyria seems a bit too far fetched, there must have been dragons small and fast enough to escape and fly south.
Maybe. If so, not many since they seem to be magic amplifiers and the magic was very low until days dragons hatched
@@bridge4 maybe they just weren't close enough :P
Touche. Could be
But keep in mind d that the book version are pyromancers sells working better when danys designs are very far away in essos
Even if they did make it south, there are probably plenty of things in the Sothoryos jungles that could kill them.
The doom of Valyria was a Krakatoa event x ? The shock wave alone from such an event, would pulverize anything within 100 of kilometers, so it's safe to assume nothing living came out of said disaster.
I read Fire and Blood and didn't get anywhere near as emotional as I did watching your video damn it! 😭
Best breakdown on UA-cam by far!:) Thank you! 🙏❤️🐲
Soo how is Drogon bigger than a 60 years old Caraxes?
He was never locked in the dragon pit and was basicly a wild dragon in dothraki sea so that probably contributed
Caraxes was Daemon”s dragon. And Daemon did not spent his life in Kings Landing. On Dragonstone, in the Stepstones and in Essos, Caraxes was free. Daemon was also a conqueror like Daenerys, not a ruler. And +50 years should make a difference.
For sure. I used to be against the "goldfish" theory about the dragons. Now I buy it, but it's only one of many factors
Another factor between drogon and rhaegal/viserion that people often overlook is that drogon's egg was bigger
And I also like the concept of dragons growing better near volcanic activity (which rhaneyra claims as reason for her dragons being bigger than aegons. Since hers were at dragonstone)
and dogon was not only free, but he flew over to valyria. So that may have affected his growth relative to rhaegal and viserion as well
But above all,I think the biggest difference between all three vs the dragons of the past is the magic-level as a whole (which seems to be very strong right now)
Another theory could be :
George said in an interview that he did not want to have dragons into his story. They were supposed to be only myths and legends. Another writer convinced him to create real dragons.
He intended to write only a trilogy. Somewhere between 96 and 2000 he realized that his trilogy will actually be a series of 7 books
He wrote his story with many characters in a short period of time instead of a few character in a longer period of time. He also said in an interview that he intended to create a time gap between SoS and FFC but he changed his mind.
Therefore, Dany is only 2 or 3 years older in DwD than GoT. And a 3 years old dragon would not be a threat to any army. That would create a situation in which Westeros was full of action and war while the Mother of Dragons played fetch with her dog-sized children. So George just boosted her dragons (a little bit).
TV needs to show big dragon's that aren't the size of 8 year old dragons but that of Ceraxes size or bigger..... It's all about entertainment..!!
i hope cannibal makes a appearance and jon snow thinking its one of dany dragon almost gets killed and so he mounts rheagal ( since its named after his farther) to fight it that would be a good plot for season 8 although its bit late for that lol. would be nice to have dance of the dragons as a prequel/continuation of game of thrones after the main seasons end (having dragons fighting is 10 time better than roberts rebellion tho they should do both story lines.
Cannibal would be so cool. And huge!
How u feel now
Rhaegal is dead 😭
Great vid.
Too cute using little Dany as a unit of measurement!!
This is pretty awesome. I’m glad I had read the books, but this helped me put it all in perspective. The narrator has a great voice btw
I hope the dragons in TV series get some armors or something for the final battle.
How u feel now
how do you feel after s8 ep 4?
@@endritveseli1687 I bet he is still hoping to see that in remaining 2 episodes.
I hope drogon at least survived the series
*Curb your enthusiasm starts playing*
You had me laughing when you said we will measure the dragons in Danys. 😂😂😂
Interesting. I didnt intend in that to be funny. Sorry about that. If you dont feel comfortable using the dany scale next time you measure a dragon, I'd recommend measure in emilia Clark's :-P
No, no, it was amazing, just the seriousness in your tone did it. And yes Emilia Clarke would be good too, however Dany (a targaerian) is much more fitting.
bridge4 btw this was an AMAZING video, thank you for all the information
Just discovered your channel and have been binging videos.. I love them, great work! Your theories are so spot on and cover things I've never even thought of.
Thanks, Olivia :))
This will be my dragon study guide for citadel of trivia! Thanks kev! Love QOT🌹
;)
I remember crying hysterically while reading "The Dance of the Dragons", it broke my heart. The deaths of all these dragons always stuck with me, they were as "real" as the people, and I kinda empathized with the dragons more.
My sister would give me the weirdest looks when, after I finally got her to watch GoT but waaayyyy after I'd read everything, I'd go on these rants about this type of thing. I'd tell the stories of the Blackfyre Rebellions or other history but the first time I started telling the Dance of the Dragons, I was crying as I recounted some events (she was enraptured and a bit like "wtf?"). I did the same when telling her about the purpose/meaning/whatever of "Jenny's Song" cause we were all watching and she and our friends were all feelin' the 'LotR' vibe and smiling. And she looks at me and I am flat out bawling 🤣🤣🤣 Then I recounted the history as well as I could but she was shook by my visceral reaction.
I smiled and cried and smiled throughout this entire video. Thank you 💜
Aw solid post. You're a true fan, I love it!! :)))
So I can assume alot of Dragons are going to die in the prequel House Of The Dragon?
@@umersiddiqui1380 yeah, as stated in the video, the Dance of the Dragons storyline did explain what happened to the last Targaryen dragons (and some of the wild ones - 3 were eventually convinced to let dragonseeds ride them [many dragonseeds did not survive the process of making friends with the wild dragons on Dragonstone!] and 1, named "Cannibal", wanted nothing to do with humans!!). It is a very good story though - I recommend reading it if you want, but you can also wait for the show if you don't want spoilers!!
Its been over 3yrs and your sizing seems to be very correct good job g!
You're still making me cry,man.
It's never me. It's always George!! :-P
1.5m views! Back here after HOTDS2E4 as I'm missing your take on the way it all played out. So excited to see you back for HOTDS2E1 and boom! Straight into the dragons! Such joy!
Thanks for this bro. With all the negativity going on with the series right now...I needed a break from it. Well put together video. Love the visuals. I'm going to name my next German Shephard "Caraxes" or "Arrax" or get 2 & name them both lol.
I love watching this video over and over, and you have a very calm voice dude!
Thank you, this was pretty detailed, I've learned so much
I really enjoy listening to your voice. Thank you for these videos.
Thanks gigi :))
God dammit Silverwing making me cry..
I know right
Did you know that silverwing was good queen allysanne's dragon and her husband, kingnjaehaerys rode vermiThor
So their dragons were in love too. Almost as if the targayen love bled through to their dragons (which we would would expect in dragon binding/warging)
Silverwing and vermithor actually coiled around one another at night :))
@@bridge4 Aaaaaawwww....now I'm going to start crying on my 2nd listen of Fire and Blood when I hit that section about them. :'(
Keep in mind that Balerion was held in dragonpit after incident with Aerea,so he never reached his true peak.If he was freely released like the Cannibal after the incident with the young girl he would easily be,by far,the biggest dragon in the books
Fun fact: Vermithor roughly means "thunder worm" (vermes = Latin for worn, Thor = the thunder god).
Oh nice! Very cool
Also, the color of the dragon is a red-orange, called vermillion.
not bad change languages mid word ....
It's kind of funny that GRRM came up with names like that for the books, but then David J. Peterson structured Valyrian so that it didn't use compound words. O.o
@@reddishf0x237 No, Vermithor is Bronze, like a weird brown
Great video. I never read any of G.R.R. Martin's books, but I've always been fascinated with the dragons and their history. Great job giving us some of that.
thanks =)
Completely off topic, sorry...
But, you have the most sooooooothing voice in all of YT. Like, you could read an excerpt from the Yellow freakin Pages and I’d listen to that sh!t every single night as I drift off to slumber 😻
Thanks :))
I agree. Your voice, your cadence, inflections, pronunciations, ect... are perfect for audible reading. I listen to your UA-cam videos to calm my anxious energy. All of your hard work is appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks Ivy. I just finished a video for 1/14. I think you might like it because I speak better than I us all do, where im.rushing to dish out info as fast and concise as I can
This video is more of a 17 minute story time related to a major theme which argues against a popular theory going around ever since that trailer, and alteratively, supports my best prediction (which is coming soon after that)
I hated the video this morning since it was not the style I personally prefer, but it really grew on me

Thank YOU for the kind words and support. :))
You've got the best voice, man
Thanks, max
So the dance of dragons is just the fight of targaryens over power?
Yup. A targaryen civil war where many dragons and targaryens (dragons) fought one another
Which is why some in-world characters claim it should be called "the dying of the dragons"
Prince Damon is my favorite badass from the series. Aemon is lucky he got to go down with such a legend.
Hear, hear. Caraxes is ny favorite dragon because daemon is one of my favorite characters
@@bridge4 Who else could ride a dragon that looked like blood. Perfect for Damon. Too bad I don't think he survived to meet up with neetles.
Nice. Another video on dragons.
Wow your channel is amazing man keep up the great content!!
Great video! Nettles & Sheepstealer made a lair n the mountains of the Vale. Several of the Mountain Clans worshipped her as a "Fire witch." There's a story n Fire & Blood where some fighters r headed 2 the Vale after the Dance of Dragons & they come upon Nettles & Sheepstealer n their hiding spot n the mountains. Sheepstealer makes these warriors regret finding them by setting a large number on fire then disappears during the confusion
I've gone through fab fast so far. Missed that. I'll keep my eyes out once I get a chance to dive into fab for real. Thanks for the heads up!
Any word on silverwing or cannibal in those final chapters?
@@bridge4 page 678 in FAB is where Nettles & Sheepstealer are see in the Vale. Silverwing disappears after the 2nd battle of Tumbleton. Seemingly distraught over losing her mate Vermithor. FAB stated that Vermithor & Silverwing were the only 2 dragons who were exclusive with each other when it came 2 mating
Cool thanks
(And yeah, I dig their bond. It seems to have bled over from.jaehaerys and alysanne)
Great stash of info, love the attention to detail. Thank you
Thanks
As excited as I am for the Dance of the Dragons prequel coming out, I would very much like them to come out with a show about Aegon the Conqueror and his two sisters coming over to Westoros and conquering everything. I think it would be awesome to see Balerion and the other two dragons destroying everything and everyone in their path.
your voice is so soothing i just relaxed and bamm 20 minutes are gone and i was very entertained well done.
Thanks :))
@@bridge4 its my first heart this shall be remembered
Important for everyone to note that yea the show dragons are ridiculously large compared to the age but in the books the dragons by the time of dance (which is like the equivalent to season 5) are about 20 feet from wing tip to wing rip (well Drogon at least, Rhaegal and Viserion are smaller). So yea, definitely smaller than they were in season 5 tho it is important to note that they still are appearing to be growing much faster than usual considering its only been less than TWO years since they were born.
funny thing is Drogon's actual size in the books is just as big as Arrax in the HOTD show.
Nettles and Sheepstealer were found in the Vale during the Regency of Aegon III. They were eventually killed.
I love these size comparison videos !
I can't wait till this becomes a tv show. I would love to see these dragons despite the ending. :(
Ditto
u got your wish lol
Amazing video my man!
Thanks man!
The Storming of the Dragonpit and Second Tumbleton are going to both incredible and heartbreaking to watch in the show. So much death on both sides during both of those incidents, human and dragon.
I really want to see the girl who bonded with and trained a wild dragon by feeding it sheep everyday; the dragon learned that she didn't mean harm and came to grow used to her company.
This show will definitely bring tears
So sad this was the true death of the dynasty
For sure. Sometimes too many dragons is as dangerous as too few
You're a poet, Kev ! cheers from Lyon, France.
Thanks :))
I thought of Stormcloud as being even smaller (horse-sized plus wings and tail) as they said he wasn’t big enough to carry both boys; this also helps explain why Stormcloud was exhausted by the flight
watching this now with the season of Hose of the Dragon finished... just so well explained
Bridge4: A Complete Encyclopedia of ASOIF
you know i like your videos they make me happy even tho i know what will happen in season 8 i like your theories a lot i like very video i see so i did this one also keep it up and thank you
A show just about the Dance of The Dragons would be so cool. We would get to see all the Targaryens before their fall
Absolutley
This comment aged well
The Danny is back!!!! :D
Only thing is Cersei is taller than Jon... who is kinda short for reals.
I love your vids
cersei is really short/tiny too though..
Thank for this. I have been speculating if any of the wild dragons could still be out there. Kinda hoping one or more would show up in the great song yet to be sung.
are you talking about silverwing, sheepstealer, and cannibal or other random dragons? those three would be enoooormous if they were still alive =))
I really love the dance. It's a perfect execution of how GRR martin hates the futility of war and it's dire consequences.
What about the dragon rumored to live within the crypts of Winterfell? Do you believe that it exists in ASOIAF? Or do you feel as though it is a symbollic message regarding a Targaryan being burried in the crypts? Perhaps that is an entirely different video (great spinoff video perhaps?).
Do I think vermax laid eggs or do you.mean a literal dragon down there? I don't recall anyone in the story suggesting such, just fan theory
And I think the heat of the springs stems from vocanic activity below winterfell
Bran had a vision of a dragon flying over winteefell, but I'd go with the figurative dragon for that (jon)
bridge4 the hot springs was what I was referring to. Probably just an old wives tale.
wives tale among fans or people in the story? i cant recall anyone specifically saying that the hot springs were from a dragon (they may have tho)
please let me know if you recall. thanks!
bridge4 I think you are right! Perhaps that is reddit theory that I read long ago, and enough times to believe that it originated in the books. Good catch! Gosh, I need to go back and read those books. It has been too long!
Great video as always kev! Getting my favourite dragon in with vermithor. Hope you had a fab christmas bro
Daemon jumped off Caraxes onto Vhagar and stuck his sword in her eye?!?! Daemons a beast !!! I hated Daemon in the first Ep but my view on him is quickly changing he’s a decent fighter when he’s playing around not fighting for anything i’d like to see him in real action when he has something to fight for. Love it.
Aemond's eye.
I’ll have to watch this again later. Lots of info I didn’t know. Thanks again
Holy shit! Just found your channel today and watched more than 20 videos. This is great!
That helps a lot. Thanks muhammad!! :))
Same here mate
You are a true scholar and a gentleman!! Great Video!!
:))
Remember guys it wasn't just the targaryens who had dragons the velaryons had some too
Caraxes and Daemon vs Vhagar and Aemond battle is going to be epic, maybe next season(?)
I'm not sure if I missed something, but why were the dragons killing each other? Great video!
Viserys had a daughter first. And he had claimed her his heir. Even held a council with lords around the realm to agree to support her
Years later, he remarried and had a son
So the daughter and the son had a civil war (a dance of figurative "Dragons" or Targaryens)
and in that dance, many dragons and many figurative dragons died :-(
I loved the ending, that was beautiful
When I think about the position of Drogon and remeber that hes just about 10 years old... I think he would be even bigger than Vhagar...
I'm not crying, you're crying. Scratch that, I'm definitely crying.😭 Beautiful beasties!💚🐲
Lol
Drogon is gonna be huge he wasn't even half the age or caraxes and he was basically a tiny bit bigger so I hope drogon get huge.
Darkdrago 12 during the follow up series, hopefully we see him again
We're finally getting this tv show
I was getting deja vous while watching this and realized that I’ve just watched 2 other recent videos on this same subject. I guess Fire & Blood has inspired a renewed interest in the dragons! Of course, Smaug would kick all of their butts. I have also always suspected that the bond Targaryens had with Dragons was akin to warging. Everyone just assumes that it’s “magic” and “spells,” but applying Occam’s Razor points to warging.
I should be made this a long time ago since I compile dthe data a long time ago. Fire and blood has a lot of old stuff, like sons of the Dragon and the process and the queen. None of this is new
Lol smaug is a weakling in Lord of the rings. There's dragons 10 times bigger than him.
Devin I know. But he’s still big enough to destroy any of the dragons in ASOIAF. Of course, Smaug was also lazy until provoked and had a weakness that was exploited. Happy new year!
Drogon's size is really impressive considering he's only a few years old while other dragons his age are a lot smaller.
Outstanding video as always
Thanks, Jonathan :)
Great video! Love the dragon and Targ lore, my favorite dragons are balerion vermithor rhaegal and drogon and caraxes
I hope we all see these amazing dragons in the new upcoming spinoff of game of Thrones house of dragons
