On reproduction: when Danny had her miscarraige, she was told that her baby was mishappen. That it looked like a bat. It's never brought up again, but I'vve never shaken the implication that humans could give birth to dragons

[judowrestlerka]

GRRM didn't want to put dragons in his stories because of them not occurring in nature.
But The Night King, Children of the Forest, 3 Eyed Ravens and White Walkers are all naturalistic examples of things that occurre in the real world.
That checks out.

The elder race speculated to teach the valyrians how to tame dragons came from the shadow beyond ashaai, not ashaai. They’re two separate places, although people commonly believe they are the same place

[fallenangel]

There was one girl who managed to bond with the wild dragon Sheep-stealer earning his trust by feeding him sheep every morning. One day he bowed his head and allowed her to ride him. So maybe the Valyrians bond with dragons through sorcery but they are still thinking beings that can bond with anyone just not as easily.

22:45 that would explain why some Targaryen unborns have dragon's features on them.

[lelarich]

I'm not sure I'm correct on this but in Fire and Blood it implies it takes around 15 years for a dragon to grow large enough to be ridden, but Drogon appeared to be fully grown and fit to be ridden in a significantly shorter period. So, in theory, could Drogon grow possibly larger than his predecessors? If so, how much bigger?

[oliverogden]

I’m so glad that the HOTD Dragons have saddle’s compared to the GOT dragons. A nice detail they added

[siennahartle]

I get the sense that Septon Barth is GRRM’s in universe dragon expert so personally I trust whatever he says about dragons as being the closest to the truth

[denaspohn]

I've seen elsewhere that Danny's baby was lost to save Khal Drogo's life, but that the baby was deformed with scales. Other Targaryen women had had babies that were deformed like this. The idea that the blood mages created the dragons and even the Targaryens is discussed. This was a very interesting video.

[JohnSmithfs]

This is the video I was looking for that I didn't know existed. I want more on Old Valaria and the lands of Ashy and dragons.

[bethfinne]

great video! if anyone wants more info, I recommend The Disputed Lands. She goes deep.

Valerian steel is made from dragon bones and blood. Heating it up allows its reforming without flaws as a result.
Also. Dragons where breed/make by combining wyvers of the southern Isles and the fire wyrms with blood magic. Blood magic came from the shadowlands. Its how danny raised her dragons from fossil with blood magic. He did let slip and made i cannon.

[uching]

What if dragon spwan like fish, the female lays the eggs the male then come along and fertilises them .

[fredlandry]

Interesting, that’s why the flag of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 has the red Dragon.

Another way to kill a dragon like that is blinding it because like plane
Without visual sight the entire creature is blind and unable to see and like a plane it cant fly

[thewolfpaladin]

Actually that is incorrect sir a Wyvern is considered a breed of dragon for instance in the Norse and Germanic myth of Fafnir, Fafnir was called a dragon but if you read his discribtion it is that of a Wyvern, in fact the definition of Wyvern is a two legged winged DRAGON with a barbed tail

[matthewsweeney]

I like to see more dragon types in house of dragons. Maybe so a fire wyrm and have a flashback of balerion. Love to see a land drake ( that's big as to pull war wagons)

[GreebleClown]

14:33 But not entirely unheard of. Before dna testing, and even now due to the risk and cost involved, there are plenty of bird species whose sex can only be determined if they lay an egg. Same with some fish species.

[e.blakebklyn]

Now that they've done this let's do the Dragon Riders of Pern, Ann McCaffrey's book's sounds ripe for the picking, and would look great on the screen!!!.

Dragons in Ice&Fire & Fire&Blood are made to be more realistic, like tamed dinosaurs that can breathe fire. George Martin ensured that his fantasy world is more realistic to be more relatable. Brilliant!
