Silverwing and Vermithor Size, Design and Comparison

The wait is over, we finally get to see the Bronze fury in all his glory, well, sadly at the expense of the Targaryen bastards but, it’s a price that has to be paid, Valar morghulis. We also finally saw Silverwing, the female dragon that was present with Vermithor in the dragon pit. It was the second time, vermithor was given screentime but the first time for the old female dragon, Silverwing.
According to the books, Vermithor hatched from a dragon's egg that had been placed in the cradle of Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen by his sister Rhaena, in 34 AC. Vermithor had accepted Prince Jaehaerys as his rider by 48 AC, when Jaehaerys made his claim for the Iron Throne. And became riderless when Jaehaerys died in 103 AC.
He is no doubt the second largest dragon and almost as big as Vhagar, maybe 30-40ft shorter if we take the official stats of 150m or 492ft actually meaning Vhagar’s wingspan rather than length and that she was in fact 240-250ft long as per our and other fan estimates.
Now, How big is Silverwing? This She dragon has eluded the audience for quite a long time and when Ulf Stumbled upon her lair and her clutch of eggs, she emerged from the shadows like a metallic beast on metal wings.
She is therefore the third largest dragon in the series, after Vhagar and Vermithor, with Caraxes rivaling her in length and Meleys rivaling her in body mass, but her outdoing both in one of the two categories.

In 3:00 there's a small mistake bro, Hugh is not the bastard brother of Viserys and Daemon, i.e. the bastard of Baelon Targaryen. He is actually the son of princess Saerra Targaryen who ran away from the family to Lys to a pleasure house who is the sister to Baelon and Aemon Targaryen (Rhaenys' father) and King Jahaerys' daughter. This also makes Hugh the grandson of his, however not through his son's, but through his daughter Saerra. This is comfirmed in the show as Hugh explains his lineage to his wife and he refers to his mother while she said to Hugh, that he is no different than her brother's sons, Viserys and Daemon.

The design of Silverwing is incredible

[polka_dimitresk]

Silverwing's design makes her look like a queen. I absolutely love it.

Silverwing looks MAJESTIC. Looks like a dragon right out of myth and legend. Like when you try to imagine what a dragon would look like.

[xmynationalanthemx]

Silverwing looks almost metallic!!! Like a shiny crown! She’s gorgeous!

[rafayetrahmanratul]

Hugh is the son Saera Targaryen. She is Baelon's sister. Ulf on the other hand is Baelon's bastard son. As per the show. Also, sept of Baelor wasn't an establishment at this point of the time. It was built roughly 30/35 years after the Dance.

silverwing is the best looking dragon by far its not even close, holy shit they did a good job on her

[SmallTownResident]

I found it interesting that Silverwing was still laying eggs. Her and Vermithor were still mating and she probably laid several clutches of eggs. This leads me to believe that after the dance, several dozens of eggs still exist somewhere and the future revival of the dragon species is still possible. It’s not just Danys eggs.

Didn't expect Silverwing to remind me of Midir but hey, she looked amazing!

[talenrothwell]

It's super fascinating that Vermithor is so close to Vhagars size. Vhagar is described as almost as large as Balerion was during Aegons conquest. Keep in mind that Vhagar was nearly 200 years old when she was this size and Balerion was a but over 100 years old. Obviously that implies that Balerion was twice her size once he died which is insane but nevertheless since Vermithor is so close to Vhagar despite being half her age implies that Vermithor could have Rivalled Balerions full size if he lived long enough. I might be missing something but it is pretty clear that Vermithor is huge for his age

Silverwing is gorgeous, her personality was playful like sunfyre and her flight was elegant over Kings Landing. 🙏

What's amazing is that these two dragons belonged to Rhaenyra's grandparents: Alysanne and Jaehaerys Targaryen. I'm hoping the new riders don't betray someone in television. That's all I'll say.

[omaracbabazer]

Syrax isn’t smaller than Seasmoke, she looks smaller because she has shorter legs than the rest of the dragons. If you look closely she has wing membranes up to her hip which is different from the rest of the dragons.

[lazarmillosev]

Silverwing has that warm motherly vibe, reflecting her original rider Good Queen Alysanne 🙌🏻

[ender]

Silverwing is the most beautiful dragon 😍

[benjamingarrett]

No, Hugh is the son of Seira Targaryen. Jahaerys's daughter, who was exiled to the Free Cities.
Ulf is the bastard of Baelon.

[miiooonn]

Man I fucking loved vermithor his design is just so intimidating. He really looks like they just formend the words bronze fury into a Dragon

[NKStyles]

Vermithor kinda looks like Vhagar which probably means Vhagar is his mom. Silverwing looks like Meraxes

[DarkAnimeRobin]

For some reason Syrax's size doesn't seem to have changed since the series premier, and there were many years of time jump since, she should have gotten much bigger.

[domaitken]

I wonder if Vermithor was hatched from one of Vhagar's clutches. They both share some features (horns on the head, loose skin over the throat).
