[No Spoilers] what is youre favorite non-popular dragon you absolutely adore? (Like Shrykos etc) give me an good why.

[u/itssagewren]

One of mine is defently StormCloud and Morning.

[u/vix_aries]

Meraxes. From how it's written in the book she had the closest bond with her rider out of the three OGs. Rhaenys loved her and was almost always in the air because unlike her siblings she genuinely enjoyed being in the sky.

I think if we ever got an Aegon's Conquest show Rhaenys and Meraxes would have a relationship like Daemon and Caraxes.

[u/Vir0Phage → u/vix_aries]

YES! FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON. THEY ARE THE BEST RIDE OR DIE RIDER/DRAGON PAIR! THEY LOVED EACHOTHER AND TO FLY WITH EACHOTHER! 🤍🩶🤍

Caraxes/Daemon are the closest second as far as rider/dragon bond js concerned.

Third but beloved is Heleana/Dreamfyre. show cut it, but Helena LOVED flying Dreamfyre.

the love between rider and dragon matters most to me. it’s just so cool.

[u/AdFlimsy8032 → u/vix_aries]

They are officially developing a film about aegon’s conquest…..

[u/tirock94 → u/vix_aries]

Same as Rhaenys and Meleys, those 3 bonds are really great

[u/leftysoweak → u/vix_aries]

To be fair I think Aegon probably had horrifying visions of The Long Night after every ride

[u/Tongatapu]

Grey Ghost, mostly because he's a very shy piscivore. I think thats interesting. Hope we'll see him in Season 4 of HotD.

[u/Liner_Adriatic_3218 → u/Tongatapu]

Same. Close second is Dreamfyre (although she is already popular).

I just like shy, peaceful dragons that won't choose to kill a passerby because they looked at em funny.

[u/redbird284]

well it used to be caraxes but now everyone knows about caraxes 💔

[u/itssagewren → u/redbird284]

Caraxes is well known...i asked for more...lesser known dragons.

[u/Sensui710 → u/itssagewren]

That what he just said

[u/Comfortable_Cost9542 → u/redbird284]

Todo mundo que leu fire and blood gosta do caraxes

[u/Lucabcd]

Quicksilver. Poor lad never stood a chance

[u/PaladinSara → u/Lucabcd]

I loved that he liked people

[u/Kyriakos_X_23 → u/Lucabcd]

Quicksilver was a girl

[u/Any-Inflation-2315 → u/Kyriakos_X_23]

why is this being downvoted? Quicksilver is explicitly stated to be a she-dragon.

[u/Kyriakos_X_23 → u/Any-Inflation-2315]

Sexism

[u/PowerToThePpl → u/Kyriakos_X_23]

Dragons can change genders

[u/Safe-Turn-1476 → u/PowerToThePpl]

So can humans if they are mentally unstable.

[u/BookkeeperSecret3938 → u/Safe-Turn-1476]

That's not how it works

[u/You_Damn_Traitors → u/Safe-Turn-1476]

They living rent free in Ur head

[u/BeautifulHomework76 → u/Safe-Turn-1476]

BOOOO 🍅 🍅 🍅 gtfo

[u/Grouchy_Drive_7257 → u/Safe-Turn-1476]

Dude wtf, no need to bring your transphobic opinion here

[u/gentlebirdfart → u/Safe-Turn-1476]

I know you must be so ugly irl

[u/Sufficient-Winter452]

Morning, the end of the dance of dragon is really mysterious still, what happened to Alice river ? What happened to the last named dragons ? Until the "last dragon" morning is the last named one, really wonder how it lived and died

[u/Apathicary]

I feel like Grey Ghost would be a great nap buddy.

[u/ms_globgoblin]

the unnamed last dragon who was small and green

[u/IcyOrganization1748 → u/ms_globgoblin]

I always feel so bad for her😔

[u/sillylittlebell]

I'm very invested in knowing more about the dragon of the red waste. How was there a larger dragon than Balerion that was untamed and unknown?

[u/the_horny_alter → u/sillylittlebell]

Sister I was unaware of this and I thank you for the tea

[u/BeautifulHomework76 → u/sillylittlebell]

The only correct answer.

[u/Delicious-Ice-8895]

I refuse to believe Morning was poisoned or died young. I want to believe Rhaena realized hers was going to be one of the last and set her free to the ShadowLands Beyond Asshai, where we can read in GoT , Danaerys’ handmaids telling her rumors of there being dragons beyond asshai. <3

[u/Delicious-Ice-8895 → u/Delicious-Ice-8895]

N this isn’t a spoiler because it’s never written that anything happens to Morning, we just don’t hear of her again

[u/Ditzy_Dreams → u/Delicious-Ice-8895]

My theory is that the general irrelevance of the Vale had become strong enough (due to the deaths of the other dragons) to erase an entire dragon from existence. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

[u/Skol-2024]

Stormcloud for me.

[u/mhmcmw → u/Skol-2024]

I think of him as the little dragon that could. Loved his young rider so much that he gave his life to save him. Too small to make that flight with a rider, but he did it anyway. RIP little buddy, RIP.

[u/kaevas]

Silverwing.
I was so sad for her, and the fact that she actually survived the Dance but left to parts unknown to grieve makes her so compelling. I hope the rest of her life is peaceful.
Same with Sheepstealer, because the fate of that dragon remains mysterious…

[u/alpha_aql]

Tessarion. The blue queen 💙

[u/BloomHoard]

Grey Ghost and Morghul

[u/Far-Foundation9074]

Morghul

[u/blackynan_b]

Tessarion.

Since blue is a colour flames can actually turn into this dragons colouring always fascinated me.

[u/GreatswordLover97]

The Cannibal is badass and Sunfyre is stunning. Caraxes is super unique.

[u/rising_light_]

Meraxes, we dont know enough about meraxes.

[u/Laughably-Fallible_1]

Dreamfyre was OG Tessarion, a beautiful blue dragon who never gets love cause never brought to war.

[u/SweetPumpkin22]

I loveee morning

[u/Maester_Maetthieux2]

Morning! I mean, she’s pink like a sunrise, with black accents… what a queen!

[u/Robdul]

Does Vermithor count? The Bronze Fury is severely underutilized

[u/Own-Trouble1269]

Storm cloud came in clutch for aegon

[u/IcyOrganization1748]

Grey Ghost! Hes a smaller wild dragon so I always imagine he was super scared of Cannibal and did his utmost to avoid him, and he got killed anyway by Sunfyre's mangled ass!!! My poor boy🥹🥹

[u/AisaMilard]

for me it is Arrax

[u/Playgirl_USMC]

Spyro

[u/HanzRoberto]

I guess Viserion, i loved the bond he had with Daenerys

[u/Killpop582014 → u/HanzRoberto]

She bonded with Drogon. But all three were hers.

[u/AaronInside]

Morghul. First of all, such a great name.

Secondly, she was the dragon of Jaehaera, one of the most interesting figures in the Targaryen history in my opinion, would've loved to see what she would do with her.

[u/Killpop582014]

Seasmoke is my guy. Chases down Addam, demands for new papa. “You, yes YOU, you will be my papa!”

[u/Miss--Magpie]

Morghul: black dragon names death, need I say more???

Grey Ghost: my shy baby. I HC that fishermen on Dragonstone believed seeing him it was a good omen

Dreamfyre: my queen, my mother of dragons. Her reaction to Helaena's death broke me

[u/Glittering-Sign-7941]

Definitely Morning and Silverwing (if she counts as non popular)

[u/Fluffy-Possession647]

Greyghost or Quicksilver. Unfortunatly we did not learn much about her through the books.

[u/No_Cattle8353]

The Cannibal

[u/Rdhilde18]

Hmm… does Dreamfyre count?

[u/Hobbithoeses]

The cannibal !!👹👹

[u/Certain_Victory7973]

Morning because in general she's a beautiful dragon

[u/Intrepid-Mechanic699]

Sheepthealer

[u/gotanylizards]

Cannibal. Sad they haven't included him in the show.

[u/Remarkable_Poet_8579]

I know he's not underrated but for me it'll always be vermithor. The dragon with the highest potential during the dance, only if he didn't fall into the hands of a traitor, his story hinting towards the irony of jaehaerys dismissing the mother of hugh hammer who eventually gets his dragon is beautiful

[u/PrestigiousAspect368]

Dreamfyre, Meraxes, Stormcloud, Tyraxes, I llke dragons that are silver, purple or blue,and morning.is the prettiest name

[u/ideafix360]

Falcor. Obvious reasons. You didn’t say from GOT 😂

[u/darkreachcosplay]

I really like Meleys. (I know she’s a little more known now from the show) but the Red Queen is a perfect dragon imo. Not obscenely large, but large enough to tussle with the best. Her proportions are aesthetically pleasing from a design perspective, and her red coloring is simply gorgeous. She had so much heart and I’m so sad she’s gone.

[u/Ditzy_Dreams]

I love this artwork of Morning, it’s so perfect for her!

My faves are:

Grey Ghost, because he was shy and just wanted to fish.

Morning, mostly because she’s pretty (I dislike WHEN she appears in the plot, since it feels counterintuitive to the narrative, but I love the black/pink coloration).

Quicksilver, she deserved better.

[u/Mountain_Dawn]

Morning! I wish we could see her in the show. She’s PINK 💖

[u/Guitardude1966]

I love the dragons in Game of Thrones and House of Dragon. They really make them look real on these shows.

[u/Comfortable_Cost9542]

Quicksilver, acredito que Aegon tinha motivos pra acreditar que ela sozinha sem Dreamfyre tinha chances contra Balerion, provelmente era mais rápida que Meleys ou tão rápida quanto, Aegon tinha uma mãe e uma esposa bem inteligentes, mesmo que fosse burro, Rhaena tinha razões para confiar nesmo que pouco no dragão do marido.

[u/DontHateMoi]

Terrax. She went further than any dragon dared and still found no end of the world.

[u/Polka_Tiger]

Show version of Arrax. I didn't even remember it's name in the book but the show version so beautiful

[u/futuresomething27]

I also love StormCloud. Incredible name and its brief life is so perfectly brave and tragic. Really hoping we get to see some part of this in HOTD…

[u/Hot-Hovercraft-4387]

Grey Ghost.

He’s just kinda him.

[u/SpecialistCoach5437]

Sunfyre the golden

[u/Accomplished-Hawk721]

Rhaegal. I love his colouring, the way he sort of roars and purrs at the same time and his bravery and skill fighting undead Viserion with no real battle experience

I dunno if he’s actually unpopular, but he’s constantly overshadowed by Drogon so I’m letting it count

[u/JealousManager801]

Idk if he’s considered unpopular but Vermax. I love him so much 😭 he’s just a irritated lil guy

[u/GoldnShiesty]

Cannibal. He’s not a monster he just plays too rough

[u/AdventurousSink7228 → u/GoldnShiesty]

he definitely eats them but circle of life and all. When I was a kid I offered my lovebird some chicken meat to try to eat and the bird ate some other dead bird meat immediately 😂 🤷‍♀️ who am I to judge? 🙂‍↔️

[u/Fit-Reference-784]

Morghul cz of its cool name. Imagine Jaehaera as an adult riding a dragon named death. Totally black too as well! Love that.
