Here are all of the dragons in ‘House of the Dragon’ and who they belong to

While Visenya Targaryen rode Vhagar in the past, Princess Laena Velaryon (Nanna Blondell) was first to own her in the “House of the Dragon” timeline. We even see her flying alongside her husband, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), as they head back to Pentos.

Unfortunately, Laena goes through a traumatic birth in episode six that puts both her and her child at risk, and she forces Vhagar to end her suffering by incinerating her with that all-important phrase: “Dracarys.”

Caraxes might not be the biggest dragon in the gang, but he’s longer than most of the others thanks to his snakelike neck. He’s also got bright red scales, which gives him a very distinct look.

He was originally owned by Aemon Targaryen, the son of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, before the prince’s death at the hands of Myrish pirates.

Thankfully, Otto and the soldiers get some dragon backup of their own with Syrax, a yellow dragon of a similar size to Caraxes. She’s a much younger dragon compared to the likes of Vhagar and Caraxes, but she’s no less vicious.

It’s one of the reasons that Daemon backs down when he’s confronted on the bridge to Dragonstone. Although that might also have to do with who was riding Syrax.

Vermax is much younger than most of the other dragons in the series and doesn’t tower over people like Vhagar, Caraxes, and Syrax. He first shows up in episode six, as the dragonkeepers lead him out to Rhaenyra and Alicent’s children.

Vermax also has a distinct look, with green scales and a red spine, but he doesn’t see any combat in season one.

Seasmoke is another of the Targaryens’ dragons, but he’s given to the Velaryon family because Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) married Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint), aka the Sea Snake.

Seasmoke is a silver and gray dragon, who proves to be a pivotal weapon in the War for the Stepstones.

Addam of Hull unintentionally becomes one of the new dragonriders in season two, episode five, when Seasmoke spots him from the air toward the end of the episode. 

The large gray dragon chases him down into a forest where they come face-to-face, but Addam quickly realizes that the dragon isn’t interested in eating him.

He ends up flying away on Seasmoke, and later pledges his allegiance to Rhaenyra.

Meleys is ridden by Laenor’s mother, Rhaenys, who is King Viserys I Targaryen’s cousin. She and Corlys are quick to suggest that the king marries Laena when she’s 12 years old. Thankfully, he declined and married Alicent instead.

It’s worth remembering that Rhaenys is also the one who warns Rhaenyra that she is in a dangerous position as successor to the Iron Throne because most men don’t want a woman ruling Westeros.

Rhaenys proves that she’s just as dangerous as anyone else in House Targaryen during the devastating battle above Rook’s Rest in episode four, although she pays the ultimate price when Vhagar kills Meleys during the midair battle.

Viserys and Alicent’s daughter, Princess Helaena (Phia Saban)  will eventually be the one to ride Dreamfyre, as per the 2018 “Fire and Blood” book by “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin.

Aemond tries to force Helaena to ride Dreamfyre into battle during season two, but she refuses.

In season two, episode seven, Hugh Hammer (Kieran Bew) is among the Targaryen bastards who go to Dragonstone to try to bond with the dragons underneath the castle.

Vermithor responds to the group by incinerating most of them. Ouch.

After the initial chaos, he attempts to sacrifice himself so someone else can escape from the hulking dragon. Instead, Vermithor stares at Hugh, who realizes that he’s managed to tame the giant beast. 

It’s ironic that Ulf the White (Tom Bennett) was so reluctant to go to Dragonstone when Rhaenyra called for Targaryen bastards — and then managed to tame a dragon.

He didn’t even want the power and responsibility. Ulf fled through the Dragonstone caves when Vermithor started killing the bastards, and he eventually stumbled upon Silverwing while she slept. 

Although Ulf is terrified at first, he’s later ecstatic as he flies Silverwing above King’s Landing. It’s possible that his newfound power will go to his head.

King Aegon I Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) rides Sunfyre in the series, but audiences don’t see him take flight until season two, episode four.

Aemond and Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) had planned to ambush the Greens with Vhagar, but Aegon threw a spanner in the works when he appeared above the battlefield on Sunfyre in an attempt to show strength to his army.

As fans now know, that didn’t go so well, as Aegon was severely burnt by Meleys in the fight before he and Sunfyre crashed to the ground. The dragon survived, according to “Fire and Blood.”

Rhaena goes hunting for Sheepstealer in the Vale during episode seven but doesn’t find the dragon until the last episode of season two.

She sees Sheepstealer flying through the Vale, and eventually, she tracks him down to a field at the end of the episode. Unsurprisingly, he’s in the middle of eating a sheep when Rhaena spots him. 

Sheepstealer roars at Rhaena, but he doesn’t eat her, so it seems like she’ll ride him back to Dragonstone when the show returns to our screens for season three.

Arrax belongs to Prince Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault), and he was given the dragon by King Viserys as a way of dispelling the rumors about him being the son of Ser Harwin Strong (Ryan Corr). But the finale is the first time we see Lucerys and Arrax fly together because Rhaenyra sends them on a diplomatic mission to speak with Lord Borros Baratheon (Roger Evans). 

Unfortunately, Aemond got there first, and he tried to get revenge on Lucerys for cutting his eye out when they were children. But Borros intervenes, which is why Aemond takes to the skies with Vhagar instead.

Their chase ultimately leads to Vhagar chomping Lucerys and Arrax, which was an accident. But obviously, Rhaenyra doesn’t see it like that. Oh dear.
