While they first appeared at the end of the first season of Game of Thrones in the form of babies that only grew and became larger and more majestic over time, it was with the spin-off House of the Dragon that dragons took on their full importance. With no less than 17 fire-breathers in the story, the series offers us a wide range of dragons, which has been further expanded on screen with the end of this second season; That's why we're looking at the 7 most beautiful of them today.
7# Fumée-des-Mers
< strong>We start this ranking with a very beautiful male dragon whose silver scales give him a sublime coat. First of all, Fumée-des-Mers was ridden by Laenor Velaryon, the son of Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen, but also husband of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. On the back of his dragon, he destroyed the armies of the Triarchy with flames, at the end of episode 3 of the first season, before fleeing Westeros with her lover Quarl Correy by faking her own death. the end of episode 7. Then after the disappearance of Laenor, it was only much later, in the sixth episode of the second season, that Smoke -des-Mers crosses paths with Adam de Carne, bastard of Corlys and chooses the latter to become his new dragon rider.
6# Meleys
This very beautiful dragoness had Rhaenys Targaryen as her dragonniere , cousin of Daemon and King Viserys. If the Queen Who Never Was already shone through his charisma, his irruption with Meleys at the coronation of young Aegon II in Dragonpit caused a lot of ink to flow and remains one of the great moments of the first season. Meleys smashes the ground in killing some of the civilians present there, before the two flew to Dragonstone.Sadly, Meleys and Rhaenys perish in episode four of season 2, during the Siege of Rook's Rest. After putting Sunfire and his majesty Aegon to the test, the two warriors die at the hands of the dragon Vhagar and Prince Aemond. A very sad end for this beautiful dragon that was Meleys.
5# Vermithor
Also known as the Brazen Fury, Vermithor was originally the dragon of Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the grandfather of Viserys I Targaryen, whom we see briefly in the first episode of the series, but after his death, the great dragon returns to make a lair at Mount Dragon. He reappears at the end of this season, when Daemon visits him and Vermithor shows himself to us as a true force of nature. We finally find him in the penultimate episode of season 2, where after having slaughtered, burned, roasted and feasted on many Targaryen bastards, the illegitimate son of Princess Saera Targaryen faces him and manages to earn the dragon's respect. Hugh Hammer then becomes the new dragon rider of the majestic Vermithor.
4# Syrax
This magnificent dragon is none other than Rhaenyra's mount since her early childhood, as we see from the first season. Syrax accompanies the Queen of the Andals and the First Men with devotion in each of her appearances, the dragon stands out with her beautiful dress in copper tones and amazes as much as she terrifies. If we have not yet had the opportunity to see Syrax and his dragon rider fight on the battlefield, it is a safe bet that this will happen in the next season.
3# Caraxès
With his splendid red and black dress, Caraxes gets noticed as soon as he arrives on screen.In episode 3 of season 1, led by Daemon Targaryen, he decimates the Triarchy at night. We find this large and beautiful dragon many times during the rest of the story and at each of his appearances, it is both a pleasure and a nameless fear that rise in front of this terrible and magnificent red lizard that is Caraxès.
2# Tessarion
Although we only saw him for a few seconds at the end of season 2 of the series, Tessarion is simply magnificent and readers of Fire and Blood know this very well. His dragon rider is Daeron – the last son of Alicent Hightower and Viserys I Tagaryen – and With its midnight blue scales and copper wings, this dragoness is simply a beauty. à breathtaking. Her nickname is just a taste of her beauty. : The Blue Queen.
1# Fire-of-Soleyl
The most beautiful of them all (and by far) is none other than the dragon of the young king Aegon II Targaryen: his magnificence Sunfire. We can see this dragon for the first time, for a short moment in the 7th episode of the first season, but it is mainly in episode 4 of season 2 that we discover this marvel, this one, ridden by the young Aegon, takes part in the battle of Rook's Rest before falling in combat. With its golden scales and light pink wings, its coat shines brightly in the sun's rays, making it perhaps the most beautiful dragon in the 7th Art.
