Every Targaryen Dragon (Game of Thrones Lore) 

He stated that he had some influence from Lord of the rings

@@kesean87 Stil had to come up with all of this detail! Some influcence isn't gonna just magically allows you to write volumes just about the lore! The guy clearly is gifted with writing and creativity!

@@bennogb5069 I can see that GRRM will be remembered forever as a great fantasy writer like Tolkien

Talent at writing and a lot of weed 😂😂😂

@@englezuzuable he is been writing them for 3 decades. Either he is extremely special and motivated or it involves a lot of weed (or both)

He said “sister-wives” so casually i hd to go back and make sure he actually said it

not to forget starks where ned's parents were cousins

@@arunsingla3452 this is not incest even my parents are cousins

@@tariizm1500idk how to tell u this but…

​@@tariizm1500explains the Webbed feet

lil crispy i meant his last battle while he was alive lmao although it might’ve been pretty lame cause he was lazy in his old age

Kae His last battle was likely in Valeria, where he came back with huge scars and his “rider”, Rhaena’s daughter Aerea (she was taken by him when trying to ride him) . His last rider was Maegor the cruel

The Cannibal would eat his ass boi

Pickle Chin Ah Boy I mean, it was smaller than him, and on top of that, wasn’t as powerful or battle hardened, and perhaps the Cannibal died before it could find or eat Balerion.

@@thalmoragent9344 It died younger and was about to be in Balerion's size. Nonetheless it's name alone is a reason on why it can eat any Dragon.

It is sad Drogon will be alone but he can lay eggs. So there can be a way for him to still live once the eggs hatch and he flies around with his children.

@@Warhxda wouldn't they be infertile though?

@@STFUismyname dragons can change their sex based on their needs. There was already a theory that Drogon could have laid eggs.

Dragons are most likely unisex. Drogon will lay new eggs. Plus, there have been rumors of dragons stirring again in the shadows of the far east, past Asshai.

Agree, even if they did want to kill 2 dragons in the ending, it should've been done to greater affect, they're the last dragons for fuck's sake!! Honestly season 8 is a mess, season 6 and 7 were starting to not make sense and if they could at least redo season 8 it would make everything better.

It’ll forever be shrouded in mystery especially whatever was large enough to fight Balerion

MR. Nobody sorry this is so late but, I’m writing a story rn, nothing interesting just for drama work, and u have just gave me an amazing idea. Thank you lmao

@@malliemcc6844 oh, thats so nice :D. I hope your story turns out great!

In the books, they do.

@@abrarbw That was the point. It had been cool if they did it in the show too

Mallie McC what’s your story about?

So sad for both of them both are my favorite Dragons of the Targaryens

I saw a possible family tree for Dragons and it had Vhagar as possibly being Caraxes own mother

@@mysteryjunkie9808 the one i saw had caraxes being meraxes only child.

Matt Johnson No but hey at least we are going to get a kickass series about The Long Night during the Age of Heroes!

@Matt. Nope!. Ain't gonna happen. R.R. Martin already said hell NO to TV execs 'cos TV series will kill his books. Look up for the "60 Minutes" interview on CBS.

Or the dragon civil war

I'd love a series about Aegon's conquest.

Now that would be a bitter sweet story.

Ikr

dance of the dragons, search for it there is a complete story on youtube ^^

Lena p YUP! They should make the prequel about this

@@goodiegoodygumdrops RIGHT? Who even cares about a bunch of people playing musical chairs when we could have A DRAGON CIVIL WAR

Lena p right

EXCEPT the dance of dragons was ABOUT that pointy chair!!!

The civil war was all for the pointy chair

Targaryens forcing their strongest soldiers to commit a suicide because they need a pointy chair.

Yay for you, huh?

Larkin Hancock orys was a bastard brother of aegon known as a dragon seed. Aegon married visenya out of duty and rhaenys out of love. They dont talk about the father really. Read the book lol

What made Gaemon so glorious? Why did a younger of 3 brothers inherit b4 Aegon's father? What treasures exactly where brought from Valyria and where are they now?... so many questions

I am very interested in Gaemon the Glorious. I NEED to know what made him so glorious

@@authoritariangentleman7570 These are the questions that should get answered

I never caught that in all my reads.

that would be great...but i lost it when two of her babies died and then to see this story as a spin off...i couldn;t handle none of these dragon deaths at all...first one to die...I'm through..lol..

@@d.r.robinson9599 ah that's true lmao, it would be pretty painful. The story itself of fighting within the Targaryen family which ended up destroying them is pretty tragic, not to mention these beautiful mystical creatures going extinct.

WELL ITS HAPPENING NOW

We getting it!!

Well HBO listened to emilia I'm so glad

I agree about the Dance, but Balerion died of old age over thirty years before it began, so we wouldn't see him unless there's a short prologue showing the youth of Viserys I.

Dance of dragons was House Targaryen's start of downfall. The Dragons served as nuclear heads. That is why other houses small and major didn't bother to rise and start a coup de' ta. House Targaryen didn't had the riches but they had the most destructive power that is why they rose up. But because of this battle of ego's. They lost their power that kept them on the Iron Throne.

Guess what?!?! You most likely know already but WE GETTING THAT SHOW!GOT spin off "The House of the Dragon " is about Dance of the Dragons!

Imagine...that probably wont happen. Too confusing to the average show watcher.

Sunfyre doesn’t stay beautiful for long.

TheGodSpeed an independent movie would be waaaay better

@@soumia117 that would have to be like an 10 hour movie just to cover the dance of dragon era. Just imagine them putting all of THIS in one movie. A TV show would be perfect, I would say a movie series but that'll be like 20-30 movies😂

@@soumia117 shows last longer and go more in depth tho

So people can moan about that?

Well....

With that many Dragons around, I think they would have tried to take Dorne again and succeeded this time. Maybe with more time, set their eyes on the free cities as well.

Dragons inspires the Targaryen to be conquerors, and Rule all. It also inspires fear in their subjects and enemies alike. I don't believe fear is power.

marcos targaryen was

books from Windblown yeah I agree. I think if it didn’t happen, the riders would most likely die from ‘back stabbers’ or betrayed as the people under their rule would be too scared to kill them any other way. Or like poison or something they’d not expect or foresee.

@@chodeoriki4113 Jaehaerys The Conciliator ruled the longest of any other Targaryen king and he ruled over an era when there were more dragons and Targaryens then before or after. The whole realm loved him and even in Dorne people cried because he died. By the time of the Dance the family ruled for about 129 years, the only people who had a problem in that time were religious fanatics and that was near 88 years before. I don't think they would have a problem. Obviously there would be some people who wouldn't like them, but why would they suddenly change their opinion without the Dance?

Vermathor easily is better than Cannibal and Meraxes

​@@Al4___I love him but he never did much let's be serious, even his behaviour was bad.

Ur hot

​@@lillypharaoh5945vermithor wasn't bad

@@elinahalla he wasn't bad but it's safe to assume that the cannibal would give him trouble.

I think she didn't. Because she actually never rode Viserion or Rhaegal. Jon bonded with Rhaegal and the Nightking with Viserion.

@@NiroLesi Going off the books, Daenerys only bonds with Drogon. Viserion and Rhaegal are unbonded but I think Martin is building up to a reveal of two other Targaryen riders (one might be Jon and another might be the missing Aegon/Aemon (I can't remember his name) travelling with the Second Suns. I refuse to take the final season as fact because it was so damn painful and contradictory to everything we've learned from the TV show building up to it.

@@NiroLesi the show non connon

But isnt she very close with Viserion? I've read he adores her and she sometimes spoils him

@@NiroLesi The Show isnt canon. Rhaegal and Viserion are riderless for now. Plus, in the show The Nightking and Rhaegal never bonded, the NK just controlled him.

Sounds interesting.

That was the implication. Elissa sold the Eggs in Bravos and they were never recovered. It is entirely plausible that Illyrio Mopatis bought them to give to Dany. He certainly was wealthy enough.

Caleb Boakye that would be good, even tho it’s stated the dragon eggs came from asshai- maybe they made there way there in the many years between stories,

ComicBookGuy read my other comment

It also makes sense as it's technically targeryan eggs. So they will easily see targeryans as friends.

Yea plus i think the show wants to keep it easy w red and now viserions blue flame for fans to be able to see whats actually going on in their final battle.

Well at least they changed Viserion fire colour when he got resurrected by whitewalker

I also thought the dragon's fire matching their scales was one of the coolest characteristics of the dragons

They use real fire for the dragons, they showed it in the behind the scenes that the fire the dragons breath is real fire which is most likely why they do not have it colored.

Smol Bean Well, there are ways to color fire, and I imagine that they could technically use said methods in order to get the result they wanted.

Several rebellions happened and they all failed.

Yet none of them decided to start all alliance and theb rebellion like Robert's Rebellions.

@@Brandonhayhew its not like everyone from the seven kingdoms saw targaryens as terrible leaders that is until aerys came. and great houses wouldnt just support you if you asked them to rebel just because they were targaryens also war is expensive and many will die which any sane and smart leader will try to avoid. And will just use politics to make their house more powerful like tywin did

As GRRM said by that time the Targaryens had the power of tradition on their side. Everyone had grown accustomed to bow to them

Plot armour, that’s how.

agreed

Ok..., guess you're ok with certain things then...! Lul

Dragons... Littlefinger did more then any Targaryen could with his mind, look how they fallen.

yeah I fucking hate Alicent, although she had a point her son was supposed to be heir due to the crown not having a proper succession law she didnt have to spark a war that crippled the Targaryens. That shit could've been dealt with diplomatically

@@magentamomo7150 they did try to settle amicably at first. There was the war of ravens before the war of fire and blood, Aegon and Rhaenyra were trying to gather support for their factions. That went up in smoke when Aemond killed Lucerys. Otto Hightower was pissed and shouted at Aemond for what he did while Aegon was happy with it till his son paid with his life. With the two princes dead, there could be no peace meetings anymore

Wasn't he killed by sunfyre. I think u r talking about sheep stealer.

@@jeffreysamson5938 No, he says that we don't yet know what happened to Cannibal just yet.

@@jeffreysamson5938 Grey Ghost was killed by Sunfyre for an unknown reason, but the Cannibal just disappeared during the time of the Dance of Dragons. It is the only dragon in the world besides ones living in the shadow lands who is not known to be dead or alive, or where exactly it is. Sheep Stealer lived out its days being worshipped in the Vale. Although, I get the feeling the Cannibal is either no longer wild and someone is ensuring it remains hidden, or it travelled to Essos. A wild dragon probably wouldn't have existed without notice in Westeros for so long.

@@wafflingmean4477 wait a minute ! Stealer worshipped I'm the vale ?????? Nettles flew away with the dragon she didn't hide in westeros. How do you know that? Yeah it was grey ghost that got killed. Cannibal may have died . Hope we get to hear about that dragon. And there's also another dragon that survived. Its alysannes dragon the one in the second battle of tumbleton.

@@wafflingmean4477 how many dragons r there in the shadow lands

I refuse to accept this. I want to believe.

Yeah cuz they certainly improved asoiaf when they made got.

I understand. I was lost too. But since I read the book, I have no problems :D.

I can explain. It what part has you confused ?

Damn, did you last that long?

The Mortality rate for Targaryen children is just horrible

So much lore

Love your vids

Pls make a vid on why the got sucks...

Whycreate Have you listened to the original Dance of Dragons (with Ser Jorah narrating) audio book and the new Fire & Blood version? I miss the Ser Jorah (Ian Glenn) narration but the full story is now so flushed out. You should make a video about your take on the various accounts of that tragic event known as the Dance of the Dragons.

the velaryons survived the Doom, the fled before the Targaryens to Driftmark near Dragonstone

@@Tsukiakari-qb3tk ahhhh thanks!!!

*The Cannibal, possibly.*

Carnage exactly what i was thinking

It’s certain Balerion was injured fighting off adult Wyrms, but not before Aerea was infected by baby wyrms (those parasites).

There were many Joffrey Lannisters and Joffrey Velaryon was named in honor of Joffrey Lonmouth (his father's boyfriend)

Rhaenyra named her son Joffrey for her husband’s lover Joffrey

Cersei is a wannabe bitch like any house could compare to the Targaryens

To all those who did not read the book, I'll try explain shortly, but in more detail. Rhaenyra Targaryen was forced to marry her cousin Laenor Velaryon. He was super gay. She had three sons with him... well, possibly not with him, since all three boys had brown hair and looked nothing like their family members whatsoever, but that is not really the point. Laenor loved some Joffrey Lonmouth. Joffrey died and Laenor wanted to name "his" first born son after him, but was denied. Twice. His ambitious father Corlys Valeryon clearly did not want his grandchild to be named after his son's lover. There is also Duncan Targaryen, named after famous knight ser Duncan the Tall. But yeah, most of the time, Targaryens have Valyrian names. Joffrey is quite common name among Andals, though. Like Myrcella and Tommen.

There was also something about Lucerys and Jacarys having Valerian names upon insistence by their Grandfather and then Joffrey was the third child and their Grandfather gave in to naming him Joffrey, either because he was out of favor at the time or was away adventuring and had no say in the matter.

I’m pretty sure he’d be dead

Cear and then cannibal SWOOPS UP AND EATS DROGON

Same ! I’d imagine if someone jus did what Nettles did but instead of sheep just use Dragon eggs and feed him . But knowing him It would be a gamble .

@@mikaelmyers6135 Cannibal is summoned by the dragon horn and fucks up whoever blew in it.

I want a either a cannibal short story or a George approved Animated 1 season thing.

It was NOT only HER that responsible for this mess. The King Maker and the Half Brother who stole the Her Crown.

A son comes before a daughter. Viserys hypocrisy was the problem.

Boxeard I wanted Rhaenyra to sit the throne, but I would’ve been pissed if one of her kids from Harwin Strong sat the Throne after her since they were obviously bastards.

@@sophiawilson8696 Driven by his mother to do so

@@hozman5700 Kings word is law, the council of 101 was just a precedent, it wasn't a establishment of a primacy of eldest male son, the king can do as he please

There not.

Lol I'm from the future, they don't mention Aegon at all

But we'll see the dance of the dragons. They aren't brilliant but they're smart enough.

Khushal Chandaria magic

No competition for resources and no predators aka bigger Dragons

Well from season one to six was almost ten years I believe

@@odin6667 In the books three years has passed since AGOT

Well I think that dragons grow as quickly and as largely as their environment allows them. Since they're the first dragons in hundreds of years, they're the Apex predators in any environment they're in. So it's safe to assume they can eat as much as they want and grow as much as they can

Patience Rachel aw:(

I'm with you😢

Seriously he should have as much subscribers as alt shift x.

Owen Gavin I wish they had this as a show instead of GoT

@@mr.worldwide3841 *writers. The production was one hell of a beast for a TV show. But that's just semantics. I don't want those two hacks anywhere near a production anymore.

It might be the cannibal an wild and old & big dragon

Maybe the parasites that infected Aerea attacked him. It could have been like this: Aerea rode Balerion onwards. The old black dragon flew on and soon landed in a ruined, abandoned city. Aerea whipped him. "Really? You want to land here?!" Balerion responded by shaking her off his back. She grunted. She never thought dragons were so stubborn. "If you think you can defy me, where do we go now?" she prompted her dragon. Balerion shrieked loudly. He turned his head towards a nearby mine. "There?" Aerea shrugged and decided to follow the old dragon into the mine. She grabbed an unlit torch. Balerion instantly shot a burst of black and red flame and ignited the torch. She held it and approached closer. Balerion roared and screeched. "What now?" She groaned. Then, Aerea saw them. Worm-like creatures, with faces and arms, approached. Instantly they rushed towards her and began to burrow into her body before she could run. She screamed but could do nothing. Everything went black. Balerion was also wounded. He had fought them off successfully, but more kept coming. The dragon gently grabbed Aerea's unconscious body in his jaws and dropped her onto his back, and exited the mine, with the pests in hot pursuit. With a flap of his enormous wings, he was off.

@@chariahs36 The thing is that Balerion wasn't bothered at all by the parasites. So it was probably another dragon.

Possibly an adult fire wyrm, they where said to live within the volcanoes of Valyria, when the Doom happened they must have sensed something was wrong and tried to flee, most probably died in the attempt but some must have survived.

Very huge

Not as huge as my anaconda

@@AC-iy7tp clap clap for the handicap

@@Sc4recrow44 ever thought of westeros being the UK and essos being europe and ulthos being the middle east and sothoryos being africa, it kinda fits

@@hackse4883 that doesnt make any sense. Essos is more asia, westoros is more europe/North africa

If he was a Targaryen before the civil war, he would be like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F-X4SLhorvw.html

Imagine Dany as a Lady Stoneheart type of character, that would be amazing

this story is nothing but death and mysery. i bacame so sad after knowing about it.

@@shikenkanade I know just sensless war they should of surrended and saved the dragon but such is the folly of man quick to anger and slow about thinking for the future

Especially Silverwing, poor girl lost her mate for nothing. Caraxes and Vhagar too, I mean they used to have no problem with eachother, but then Aemond bonded her and well, you know what happened.

You never know with Targaryens ;)

hahahaha@@bartimaeusofuruk9681

Sophia WIlson Cannibal the devoure of dragons, the dragon slayer, bane of dragons

Daenerys would be SHOOK if she met him. But I kinda want it to happen. Imagine! Mother of Dragons meets the Bane of Dragons, who also happens to BE a dragon.

Even if Jahaerys had made a law on top of convening the great council, the people of westeros, or anywhere, have a hard time getting past their old ways and beliefs. They wanted a male heir, even if he was younger or less legitimate than the female heir. A king making a law on issues like this is rarely enough, and so you are usually waiting for the people who knew the old way to die off, assuming they didn't hammer the old way into the heads of their children.

Our rightful Queen's blood outlived the Usurper

Nah, Dany wanted to break the wheel. Nyra just wanted to be an exception

the world is round. That answers this perfectly

@@Tsukiakari-qb3tk Damnit, why the hell does George have to do this. Round world speculation was out there from day 1, but then he goes and throws in vague details like THIS to make it seem almost entirely confirmed and then... doesn't go the whole way. And you just know he's never going to answer it. "Leave it up to the reader's imagination, why not" well I don't want that kind of ambiguity in this story! I want answers! I want the truth! Just come out and say it George! Stop cock teasing us just to cause more unrest in the fandom! Man, it really grinds my gears.

Also, Melisandre is totally the daughter of Bloodraven and Shiera Seastar. The literary details we're given make it pretty cut and dry.

i know it's annoying@@jmeds94

*asoiaf

There's also hints that magic is not as potent and is nullified in the western lands. Or in general as magic just became lost as an art overall through the ages it used to be widely practiced and more potent. The Targaryens never really viewed the dragons beyond for their militant potential, that's the type of arrogance that got the valyrians fucked it also got the Targaryens fucked.

How you are so sure Drogon is female?

@@nidohime6233 i believe dragons dont have a specific gender like aemon said dragons are neither male or female and can switch when needed like snails and other creatures so theirs a chance that drogon can lay eggs but theirs a chance their wouldnt be a dragon rider since they would all be dead unless jon survives the series and marrys a lys woman with descendants from house targaryen and have kids and they inbred with each other than maybe their can be dragon riders since i believe that not an valyrian can ride dragons, only blood if the dragon can.
