Though Helaena seems to prefer playing with bugs to dragon-riding, her status as King Aegon II’s sister-wife means we’ll probably see her fight on Dreamfyre. But the blue-silver beast named Dreamfyre always seemed destined to be paired with her eventual rider Helaena Targaryen (Phia Saban), a dragon-dreamer who can predict the future. We first hear mention of Dreamfyre in Episode 2 when Daemon steals a dragon from Dreamfyre’s nest for his non-existent child with Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno). Aemond declares the exchange worthwhile, and his battle with Lucerys proves that he’s probably right. He succeeds, prompting a fight that results in Aemond losing his eye. Laena’s daughter Rhaena presumes she will inherit the beast, but Viserys and Alicent Hightower’s son Aemond steals away in the middle of the night to claim Vhagar as his own. But eventually Laena enlists Vhagar to help her die by suicide during a traumatic childbirth scene. Laena Velaryon (Nanna Blondell) claims Vhagar as her mount. She is too big for the Dragonpit and unclaimed at the beginning of the show. The sister of Balerion the Black Dread, Vhagar is also the only living dragon to have flown to Westeros with Aegon the Conquerer. Vhagar is the largest and arguably most powerful dragon alive. (Like Vermax, Arrax’s egg was given to his rider at birth.) When Aemond decided to chase down his nephew Lucerys, demanding retribution for the eye Lucerys took from Aemond in childhood, Aemond’s dragon Vhagar got a little over-eager and…chomped on Arrax. Lucerys Velaryon (Rhaenrya’s second son who is played by Elliot Grihault) rode the white dragon Arrax, who was still pretty small when he met a rather brutal end. The egg hatched Vermax, but the unfortunate consequence of that political stunt is the dragon is still pretty small by the time the Dance of the Dragons takes place. To prove that Jacerys (who looked nothing like his father) was a true-born Targaryen, his parents gifted him a dragon egg at birth. Rhaenyra’s eldest son Jacaerys (Leo Hart, and then Harry Collett) rides Vermax. Just imagine the coronation for the Queen Who Never Was if she’d only been allowed to inherit the Iron Throne: It would have been a dragon extravaganza! Vermax (Jacaerys Velaryon) Apparently Rhaenys has always been one for showy dragon moments: She arrived at her wedding to Corlys Velaryon on dragonback. Rhaenys Targaryen’s (Eve Best) dragon Meleys is scarlet in color and nicknamed the “Red Queen.” The swift Meleys made a big splash at Aegon II’s coronation, killing scores of King’s Landing civilians-but, annoyingly, not the drunken king himself. Prince Viserys, before he became king, was the last to ride Balerion in 93 AC. After Maegor’s death, Princess Aera rode Balerion for a while. He’s nicknamed Blood Wyrm because of his color and disposition. But what happened to Balerion the Black Dread After Aegon’s death, Balerion was claimed by his son, Maegor the Cruel, who took the throne by force. Perhaps it won’t surprise you to learn that Caraxes-like Daemon-is know to be particularly brutal, described as one of the fiercest dragons in the Dragonpit. Caraxes is a large red dragon ridden by Daemon Targaryen.
