What was the name of the dragons from the Game of Thrones, and how they differed from each other

Perhaps dragons are one of the reasons to start watching the well-known TV series Game of Thrones. A distinctive feature of these creations is high naturalness and excellent computer graphics, which only improves from season to season. All dragons have a similar structure - a long body, powerful wings, strong legs, a long tail and neck, as well as a wide chest. From the muzzle to the very tip of the tail are processes that look like horn. All dragons are born already with teeth. But the color of the skin of these fabulous creatures may be different. Dragons according to the Game of Thrones version can be black-red, golden-cream or green-bronze.

Actress and her dragon from Game of Thrones

The role of the Dragon Mother Daenerys Targaryen was played in the series by the British actress Emilia Clark.

Drogon is the largest dragon Daenerys born in the funeral fire of Drogo. It got its name in honor of the deceased husband of the Dragon Mother. In Game of Thrones, his scales, teeth, and wings are black, and his eyes, horns, and plates on his back are bright red.

Blood is black and smokes; it can melt metal. With the blow of his powerful tail, Drogon can easily kill a person. Crossbow bolts bounce off of its scales or get stuck in it, and then melt. However, in the series, the dragon's scales are not so strong: in the battle with the Lannister troops, Drogon is seriously injured.

Drogon in the series and the book

The last mention of Drogon was in the book "Dance of the Dragons" ("Game of Thrones", season 4). During the uprising in Mierin, Drogon flew into the main arena, after which he was saddled by Daenerys and they flew into the steppe. There Daenerys ate for several days the remains of Drogon's food, and then went to the steppe, where she met a horde of Dothraki.

In the series, the storyline developed further: from the pre-Thracian steppe Daenerys, riding on her dragon, returned to Mierin and burned there the enemy fleet from Astapor. Further, Drogon and other dragons, together with the Daenerys fleet, arrived in Westeros to conquer it. Thanks to this character and the Dothraki warriors Daenerys managed to defeat the Lannister army.

Reyegal - The Most Untold Storyline

Which of the Game of Thrones dragons has the most undisclosed storyline? Perhaps Reyegal. This dragon was named after the brother of Daenerys - Reyegar. He has green scales with golden specks.

According to the book in Astapor Chhiku, the maid Servant Daenerys frees this dragon, where he, together with Viserion and Drogon, attacks the slave merchants, thus conquering the army of the Impeccable. In "Dance with the Dragons," Daenerys realizes that he is losing control of his "children" and therefore fetters Viserion and Reyegal in chains and leads them to one of the pyramids. But the drogon cannot be caught.

When Prince Quentil of the Martel family attempts to tame Reyegal, the dragon burns him alive, and then escapes from his prison and settles in the Hazkar pyramid. At the same time, the pyramid itself becomes unsuitable for habitation, and its inhabitants either die or flee.

Viserion in the book

Dragon Viserion was named after the deceased brother Daenerys - Viseris Targaryen. His egg was pale yellow with golden stripes. Viscerion's scales are cream yellow, and the ridge, horns and fly bones are golden. The eyes of Viserion are also golden in color.

Together with Drogon and Reyegal, he participated in the conquest of the Impeccable in Astapor. Some time after the capture of Mierin, Viserion, together with Reyegal, was imprisoned in the great pyramid, since he began to pose a great danger to others. Daenerys was able to lead this dragon herself into the pyramid, into which several bulls were prudently led. After eating, Viserion fell asleep, and Daenerys was able to put fetters with chains on him.

Together with Quentin, the Dragon Mother from Game of Thrones visited the dragon pit. By that time, Viserion had already managed to melt the chains on itself and was hanging on the edge of the pit, which made it look like a big bat. After Quentin's unsuccessful attempt to free the dragons, Reyegal and Viserion fly away from the Great Pyramid. In the pyramid of Ukhlezov, Viserion decided to arrange a lair for himself. On this, the dragons storyline from Game of Thrones temporarily ends until the book Winds of Winter is published.

Viserion in the series

In the series, all dragons from Game of Thrones fly to Westeros. After a group of people led by John Snow decides to go behind the Wall to catch the undead and bring it to the queen, Daenerys, despite Tyrion's protest, decides to catch them along with all the dragons.

During a raid of dragons on the undead and white walkers, the King of the Night takes a spear and throws it at the far flying Viserion. He falls into the lake, breaks ice with his body, then takes a last breath, closes his eyes and drowns. After Drogon and Reyegal together with Daenerys and a group of suicides fly away, Viserion is taken out of the lake with the help of chains. The King of the Night touches the dragon and makes it undead. The final episode shows the King of the Night riding on Viserion breaking a part of the Wall to let the undead and white walkers go to southern lands.
