All House Of The Dragon Dragons Estimated Sizes (HOTD Size Comparison) 

It is. Because it’s one of the things that helped to create Aemond. The monster

Aemond should've claimed the pink dread instead of vhagar lol

*hits table* …Final tribute…

🐖🐉

I'm still waiting for the moment when Aemond riding that thing in battle.

it was so weird seeing him fly by with that baby head lol

I NOTICED THAT TOO WHILE THEY LEAVE FROM DRAGONSTONE, IT WAS SO FUNNY🤣

They didn't grow as much because they're locked up almost all the time. Vermax is just weirdly skinny overall. But I would have liked to see Syrax at least seem a little bigger, she almost looks like she shrunk in some scenes. I would definitely like for them to have better dragon CGI in general in s2 though. The movement in several scenes was quite fake looking.

Tbh I expect some visual changes to some of the dragons next season

Yeah, I hope they fix this next season, it was weird asf...

Cannibal would have to be one hell of a massive dragon to be bigger than balerion. I dont doubt cannibal was massive but id say he's more vermithor size and that's still very very big but a bit smaller than vhagar and definently not balerion size.

@@josephayers7395 but it's really cool to see him bigger than balerion ,an unclaimed dragon who eat smaller dragons and bigger than balerion 👀

@@mikered1974 bcuz nobody has seen cannibal Not even in the books So show runners if they would depict cannibal would keep it a surprise not just tell it before and take away all the fear/threat associated with Vhagar

It’s actually 492 feet In length

That puts caraxes at 75 meters long if he’s roughly half Vhagars size

Bruh godzilla is only 50 meters tall. These dragons are wilding

@@1estel1ch.42 depends on which film. Legendary’s Godzilla is 120m tall

@@onapersonalnote7045 and around 300M long from snout to tail

I believe Fire & Blood says that Vhagar, Vermithor, and Silwerwing are bigger than Dreamfyre, but only Vhagar is older (by a LOT)

@@filipnielsen1000 Yeah, sounds accurate. Technically, I think Quicksilver was born before Dreamfyre, but he died young

But she was housed in the Dragonpit since 74 AC while Meleys and Caraxes were able to roam on Dragonstone and Driftmark

Dreamfyre didn't look much bigger than Sunfyre though. I'd guess she's pretty similar in size to Seasmoke and end of season 6 Drogon. I believe Syrax is a bit smaller than what he said though (she also didn't really grow after the 10 year time skip). The age of the dragons doesn't matter as much apparently. The reason Syrax doesn't seem to have grown and lots of these supposedly much older dragons aren't necessarily much bigger than younger dragons is because they're locked up most of the time in the dragon pit. This stagnates their growth to some extent. Dany's dragons weren't locked up as much, which is why they grew so quickly despite being much younger than most of the dragons in HOTD.

@@shibernyan2009 Dreamfyre, unlike dragons such as Syrax, Sunfyre or Seasmoke, spent most of its life outside of the dragon pit, as he live long before its construction.

Similar sizes, but Meleys is a little bigger

@@alphagamer9505 exactly

I believe they the same size but caraxes looks smaller because he's more slender and snake like bu length wise they look the same

Is meleys called as pink dread?

@@veda7279 call red queen

This. She's the second oldest dragon alive at this point. She hatched in 29-30AC during the reign of Aegon the Conqueror making her even older than Vermithor and Silverwing, who were born from 30 AC to 35 AC. Only Vhagar is older. Dreamfyre is supposed to have a more slender build, yes, but she's still *at least* 95 years old at this point. Almost double the age of Caraxes or Meleys.

Dreamfrye was kept in the pit it stunted her growth as said in the book

@@tresjolieme81 yeah but syrax was a captivity dragon as well, and a captivity dragon 70+ years her age shoudk be much bigger

@@charlieswanney8610 yea i see what you mean. Dreamfrye was the one i was excited to see but unfortunately i dont see how she will get air time in this period with the wars. They would have to take the prequel back to Rhaena Targaryen.

They say in the books that the dragons who were raised or reside I. The pit are notably smaller. Vermithor resides in the island and can still roam around and hunt. Syrax was kept close and over fed, she never had to hunt

its written as a history book so everything said is someones point of view or opinion. nobody has seen the cannibal in the books just know he exists on dragon stone. so couldnt say his size and the small folk say he was older than balerion

she was housed in the dragonpit for years, stunting her growth but still should be quite large

Dreamfyre is the mother to most of adult the dragons. She is known to have laid two cluthes of eggs by 43 AC and another clutch in 50 AC. Hatchlings from the last clutch hatched in 51 AC (most likely Meleys and Sheepstealer). Sheepstealer is stated to have been born in the early years of king Jaehaerys I's reign, so it would make sense that one of these hatchlings was him and that he was never claimed so become wild. An egg was placed in Aemon Targaryen's cradle in 55 AC. This hatchling was most likely baby Caraxes hatched from one of Dreamfyre's eggs. Three of Dreamfyre's eggs are stolen in 54 AC (pretty safe to assume that these eggs are the same ones that hatched in Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal). The eggs that is stolen by prince Daemon, after which he is forced to return it, is the one chosen for the short lived prince baelon by his older sister, rhaenyra. It can be safe to assume that rhaenyra used this same egg to place in her next brothers cradle (Aegon II) seem as this happend before the whole greens/blacks split. Aegon's egg hatched into the dragon Sunfyre. Syrax (looks like sunfyre) and Seasmoke (looks like Meleys) are also likely hatched from Dreamfyre's eggs seem as neither Silverwing nor Meleys ever laid any. This is back up by the fact that the maesters and dragon keepers are still using the aging Dreamfyre's eggs until Syrax started to lay. If Meleys (who was a few decades younger than Dreamfyre) was laying at that time then it would make sense for her eggs to be the main ones used, as she is younger and therefore the eggs would have had a greater chance of hatching (this is true to both reptiles and birds so it would make sense to be true to dragons) than Dreamfyre's. Tessarion, Vermax, Arrax, Tyraxes, Stormcloud, Shrykos, Morghul, Moondancer and Morning were all hatched from Syrax's eggs - I am almost 100% certain on that. Syrax is known to have laid multiple cluthes in the reign of Viserys I. These eggs were laid both at king's landing and dragonstone, so both the blacks and greens would end up having access to hatching some before the dance of the dragons. Dreamfyre isnt stated as laying any eggs during this period, so its likely she passed the age of being able to do so. Dreamfyre's first 'wave' of kids (Meleys, Sheepstealer and Caraxes) were most likely fathered by Vermithor (Balerion was probably too old to reproduce by the 50s AC). Caraxes then most likely fathered the second 'wave' of Dreamfyre's kids (Seasmoke, Syrax, Sunfyre) in the 90s AC - 100s AC. Vermithor probably didnt father the second 'wave' as he had grown attached to Silverwing during the long reign of Jaehaerys I, so probably wasnt interested in other female dragons, i.e. Dreamfyre. Caraxes was therefore most likely the father as Sheepstealer was wild (because he hadnt been claimed as a hatchling) so wouldnt have gone near Dreamfyre as she would have always been near people. Caraxes is a fierce dragon so it would make sense for him to take the place of the dominant breeding male. Syrax's offspring are most likely fathered by Seasmoke (backed up by the fact that the young dragons have his shape or colours). Syrax and Seasmoke were together during the marriage of Laenor and Rhaenyra so it would make sense for those two to become a breeding pair. Thought I'd comment this as a lot of people are asking who is the child of who :)

Just asking how is dreamfyre the mother of caraxes and meleys they not the same breed.

@@daniel25ss no idea, there's no proof of that

@@daniel25ss They're both red and spiky, but Caraxes was born deformed.

Same! really wanted to see that!

The artist is @siosin, it's not credited anywhere

Cause he was the dragon of the king lol , he was always seen by people while Cannibal was likely a rare thing to see , knowing that he is likely older at this point than Balerion ever was he could be bigger, also the fact that Cannibal survived even after the dance lowkey confirms that he had to be huge to not get killed by Balerion and the other big dragons, I really doubt that a small or even middle sized wild dragon could survive all that while also eating his own kind, that just seems unlikely

@@davidkosiba624 No, the books very clearly state that Balerion is the largest, then Vhagar and the Vermithor. The Cannibal survives the dance because he wasnt invovled at all. Surviving the dance doesnt say anything about his size. Balerion didnt kill Sheepsteeler or Grey Ghost either. A giant dragon is unlikely to survive on eating eggs and hatchlings. He'd have to be eating hundreds of dragon eggs to survive off that This is defeintely incorrect about the Cannibal. He should be smaller than Vermithor but bigger than Sheepsteeler so he's probably somewhere in the 80-90 yr old range.

@@davidkosiba624 Literally none of what you said proved Cannibal is bigger than Balerion, which is he is not. The author literally confirmed Balerion is the biggest dragon in the books, Cannibal was only said to be the biggest of the "wild dragons". Balerion's size is addressed as a concencus whilst Cannibal as a subjective/specific/explicity category, Cannibal's size has a parameter, Balerion's does not.

An Aegon show with Henry Cavil would go so hard

Yea, she was kept in the Dragonpit abd as a courtdragon most her life causing her not to grow much. The same way goldfish don't grow much in small tanks. A symptome that appears in many of the younger/newer dragons kept in the pit.

Pretty sure Syrax’s size can be attributed to budget

@@JustAShyGhost Or they simply didn't increase her size for whatever reason. You don't have to make excuses. Caraxes hasn't grown either yet he's been out of the Dragon Pit for at least 18 years of the 20 year timeskip (4 years in Stepstones, at least 8 in Pentos, 6 on Dragonstone)

@@agrimmeon9308 Its in the books...... she barely grew in the books.....

@@JustAShyGhost @Meli "At seven, she became a dragonrider, taking to the sky on the young dragon she named Syrax, after a goddess of old Valyria." 25 years later " And ours are larger and stronger, but for Vhagar. Dragons thrive best here on Dragonstone" Rhaenyra has been residing on Dragonstone for 16 years "Against that, Prince Daemon had Caraxes and Princess Rhaenyra, Syrax, both huge and formidable beasts." After Rhaenyra takes Kings Landing "A stable in the outer ward had been emptied of horses and given over for her use ...Syrax had long grown accustomed to chains; exceedingly well-fed, she had not hunted for years." Where does it say "she barely grew" . That's an assumption on your part

This keeps popping up, but Vhagar hasn't been shown to be anywhere near that big. 150 might be her wingspan, but her body isn't that big.

Nah! At the time of conquest Balerion size would be close to vhagar at this point maybe smaller. As Balerion also lives 100 more years and grow till his death.

Balerion would actually be smaller than current vhagar

@@Noone91875 Balerion was bigger than Vhagar during the conquest as well, Vhagar was only said to be approaching his size during the conquest in the dance of dragons, she was never truly as big as Conquest Balerion in the dance of dragons. That was not confirmed, just a relative comparison.

@@anypercentdeathless Events called Dance of the Dragons. Showrunners: No dragons xd!

😁Cannibal is 100% bigger than "teen" Vhagar.

Dragons kept in the pit stunts their growth. I read it in Fire and Blood.

Dreamfyre was actually kept in the Dragon Pit for half her life though (She lived nearly 50 years free and nearly 50 years captive) so if her residence was small enough it could've stunted her growth. Though I think this chart is inaccurate anyways because she was farther up and farther back on the cliffs.

@@agrimmeon9308 her previous rider the black Queen, moved often tho so even then Dreamfyre was caged a lot, really only during Rhaena’s youth was Dreamfyre very active

Not only did he remain unclaimed there was never a chance of anyone claiming him since he/she hated humans and dragons alike, and was never raised with humans around. There is allot of mix information from GRR Martin over the few years on Cannibals size. When first heard Cannibal was the biggest dragon period alive and its shadow would encompass a whole city. Possibly the biggest dragon ever. Now he is back tracking it. Really doesn't matter since Cannibal is in his/her own world and not really part of the war.

@@michaelmichaelagnew8503 I feel like they should just make it the biggest dragon (including Vhagar) to shut annoying cannibal stans up. Not like it matters since it does literally nothing in the dance. 0 significance

It was said that dragons never stop growing outside a dragonpit. Since Cannibal is possibly older than all the "tame" dragons, and it's free in the wild to grow without limit, it would be logical to assume it is gigantic. Though how big is up for debate.

Cannibals size is unconfirmed but it’s said he’s older than balerion so it is only understandable to assume he might be larger too , I mean you have to be pretty fucking large for the Targaryens to not mess with you even when you actively hunt their dragons and let him live on dragonstone

I don't think anyone would live to tell the tale if they had gotten close enough to get a good size estimate on the cannibal. GRR probably didn't elaborate on the Cannibals size because nobody was stupid enough to attempt to get close enough to observe his size.

Yeah, i think you should stop smoking crack

@@mindq4328 lmfao

@@grantgrant8554 the story of Cannibal being older than Balerion is just a folkstory by smallfolks thats how its written in the Books and the showrunners has confirm that " Vhagar is the oldest & largest dragon alive in asoaif world and the largest dragon ever see in Game of Thrones" as per say by the showrunners here the clips ' behind the scene : age of the dragons | (HBO)

Literally everything is speculation. Lay down the books, watch the show. Two different tellings.

@@Gnossiene369 and I’m speculating why I think she should be bigger

@@sosa2mars dreamfyre was kept in the dragon pit for half her life and when dragons are in small spaces it stunts their growth thats why shes well small, but if she was never in the dragon pit and was given enough food and space she would have grown but she was kept in the dragon pit half her life

If you want to know the actual sizes, you should refer to the book. In some parts of the series, the size of the dragons is not correct. For example, Daenerys' dragons are much smaller than other dragons (except Drogo) because they are 7 or 8 years old. But a dragon like Karaxis is 80 years old. But in the series, Drogo and Karaxis are almost equal. Or, for example, Daenerys's two other dragons, who are 8 years old, are bigger than Daenerys's dragon, which is over 30 years old.

She should be near Meleys size she was in the Dragonpit for at least 47 years before being claimed inhibiting her growth

This is probably right. There is allot of misinformation on Cannibal and even misinformation from GRR Martin since it seems he is saying one thing then another. Think if we ever see the dragon it might be Vermithor's size.

@@iangallagher5448 she isn't, she around Silverwing size who is 90 years I think, both of them being smaller than Vermithor

@@alphagamer9505 The Dragonpit inhibits a dragons growth she’s been in their for over 40 years. While Silverwing was consistently ridden and lived in the wild caves of Dragonstone

@@iangallagher5448 that still does not change the fact she is slightly smaller than silverwing and literally before she roamed nearly free for decades also by your same logic vermithor & silverwing should be massively stunted in growth due to captivity and being riderless for 3 decades…yes captivity stunts growth but not like that even in the book 60 years before the dance at fair isle it was said dreamfyre was getting larger and larger with concerns growing from how much she was eating by that point she was already slightly larger than quicksilver…the canonical dragon size currently for targs no wild ones included is vhagar, vermithor, silverwing, dreamfyre, meleys/caraxes(both are half the size of vhagar pretty much identical in size), syrax, quicksilver(he was 1/4 size of balerion)…you forget as well dreamfyre roamed pretty much free for 4 decades before captivity dreamfyre is born 32AC and he rider rhaena died 73 AC and shortly after her captivity began

For sure it's wingspan, there no way vhagar is 150m in length, I say she half of that 70m-80m in lenght

@@alphagamer9505 That would be congruent with max wingspan length as well, being around double the nose to tail tip length.

@@alphagamer9505 around 75 meters from head to tail makes sense, otherwise she'd be 2/5 longer than the height of Legendary Godzilla, and she doesn't even look close to that

@@alphagamer9505 well she’s like 2-2.5 times the size of caraxes who is roughly the same size as drogon making her 90-100+ meters long, however i could be wrong

Yeah according to the Wiki of ASOIAF, Dreamfyre has been in the dragonpit since 73 AC so she hasn't really grown since then

@@Al-ji4gd you didnt but that was what I wrote my original comment in reference to- the point still stands

Some of the older dragons were kept inside the dragonpit, maybe that's the reason why drogon is bigger than the others because he's free outside.

@@jaecodm2161 I actually Googled and there is an article saying that Dany's 3 dragons grew faster than those dragons in HOTD because Dany's dragons were born out of magic. So at 9 years of age they are as big as those that are 40-60 years of age dragons in HOTD.

@@halo-halo9244 cap

Balerion lived longer, actually. He was more than 220 years old when he died, and Vhagar lived to 181 years. Vhagar during the Dance of Dragons was almost the size of Balerion.

That's not contextual. Vhagar was said to be as big as Balerion "DURING THE CONQUEST" in HOTD and not afetr. Balerion became much bigger than Vhagar afterwads considering he grew to be older than her and died of old age. Vhagar would probably be 2/3rd of the Balerion's size if she kept growing (which she did not). Balerion was still bigger when he died.

Dreamfyre didn't grow very large because she was kept in the Dragon Pit. However, I do agree that she should still be larger than what the show's portraying. She was at least large enough to be considered a huge asset to the Greens during war, but Helaena was too mentally broken to ride her.
