      Yeah, Drogon's growth was accelerated by the return of magic. Magic was dying out when HOTD took place.

    Dragons don't just "lose" their horns, they're part of their skull. Vhagar just never had big horns like other dragons, we can see that in hotd intro where she's portrayed with Balerion and Meraxes on that weird art.

    Caraxes is actually a deformed dragon. But that deformity turned into his power. He has smaller wings on his legs for extra manuevers and is super agile & fast. His whistling noises are because of a deviated septum. And I also love the design of his tail. This long serpentine body and a very warrior like attitude got him the nickname, The Blood Wyrm!

    I feel like old dragons should be able to fly much faster, but less agile. Being large means you need more speed to fly which is also why Vhagar needs to run to fly, and when airborne should need to keep that speed to stay airborne.

    Should of called the last stage elder. Since they are probably at there strongest and being old doesn’t make them that weak, maybe alot slower and some heart issues but saying elder dragons is cool to as there final form or life cycle

  • @VaughnKing
    @VaughnKing 3 місяці тому +7

    I’d argue that there is a stage between 6 and 7. As Vermithor and Silverwing being ~100yo feel like what a fully developed / full grown dragon looks like. I’d even call them ‘elder’ dragons as a precursor to 180yo Vhagars ‘ancient’ / old dragon form.
    As cool as Meleys and Caraxes are now, compared to how they’d look in 30-40yrs, it would be hard to call them ‘fully grown’ at 60yo

    Vhagar design is the worst in the show, I don't think is a good look for old dragon. The scales are supppose become to thouger by age, and not ugly leathery thing we see with Vhagar. Also is around 170 years. Balerion was around 210 at his death and would lived longer if not for his death trip to Valyria.

    just to be clear it was by no means the entire debt they had to braavos, they arent worth THAT much especially considering this was after the targaryens showed up on their doorstep with dragons and said if they're ever hatched they'd glass braavos. Really braavos risked it to try and lessen their dragon power while the targaryens tolerated only because they were banking them. There's also Aegon's dream to consider although dragons are great if you already have dragons, and you're pretty sure the bank cant hatch them anyways, making sure the realm is well funded and has a bank in their pocket for this eventual endless winter is a much better option.

      Good comparison will be 50 y.o. 6ft retired heavyweight champion vs 25 y.o. 5ft lightweght champion, results of the fight are quite unpredictable. I also noticed that dragons aparently do not regenerate their wing membrane (Vhagar's wings are full of holes), so dragons acumulate injuries and scars over time (Balerion never recovered from the trip to Valyria).

      @UnclePunchalot Drogon immediately fled to the wild, where he began to grow. I'm guessing he healed after his growth spurt in the show, sense younger dragons grow more rapidly compared to already older ones. I'm guessing that means his wing membranes just closed in as his wings grew.
