House of the Dragon, which tells about the events in the past of the Game of Thrones series, aroused our interest in dragons again. Especially when we saw the legendary dragon of the series, Vhagar, we decided to think a little more about dragons. When we look at popular culture, we see many dragon depictions in series, movies or games.
Of course, these huge and magical creatures do not exist in reality, but they stand out as the most enjoyable creatures to see in movies and TV series. Hundreds of meters of giant dragons that emit fire from their mouths can give us very enjoyable moments when they are in front of a screen. It is also very enjoyable to watch, play or read these dragons when they sit on a solid story. Today we’re going to list the dragons we see in popular culture that are intimidating with their majestic builds.
5 dragons based on Game of Thrones, many of which we saw in the House of the Dragon series:
A blood-red dragon displaying all its ferocity in its color: Caraxes
Driven by Prince Daemon Targeryen, the blood dragon Caraxes stands out for his agility.
The last of the 3 legendary dragons to conquer Westeros: Vhagar
The largest and most powerful dragon to fight in the House of the Drogon series, Vhagar was one of the first dragons to conquer Westeros, along with Balerion and Maraxes.
The strongest dragon in the Game of Thrones universe: Balerion
Also known as the Black Dread Balerion, this dragon was the dragon of Aegon the Conqueror.
A dragon hostile to its own kind: The Cannibal
The Cannibal, a wild dragon living in Dragonstone, earned its name by eating young dragons and dragon eggs.
The biggest of the 3 dragons we see in the Game of Thrones series: Drogon
It was one of Daenerys Targeryen’s dragons. Although there are claims that he is the reincarnation of the Black Horror Balerion, we did not see him as big as him in the series. Drogon, who melted the throne after Daenerys’s death, will probably grow even more in the coming years.
3 dragons from the Lord of the Rings universe:
Ancestor of all dragons: Glaurung
The dragon Galourung, also known as the “black worm”, is known as the ancestor of all dragons.
The greatest of all winged dragons: Ancalagon
Set in the Lord of the Rings universe and the greatest of all winged dragons, Ancalagon was raised by Morgoth in the first age. An army of eagles from Eärendil and Manwë fought against Ancalagon and the accompanying fire dragons, defeating them.
The dragon whose wealth has no limits: Smaug
The Smaug we saw in The Hobbit wasn’t the strongest dragon in the Lord of the Rings universe, but he survived for many years. Smaug was the last dragon of Middle-earth.
