Once the war between Team Black and Team Green begins in earnest and Rhaenyra is more or less sequestered in Dragonstone, we see less of Syrrax. But just because Syrax has been away from the battlefield doesn’t mean she hasn’t been busy. By the end of season one, Syrrax has laid a bunch of eggs, some of which Daemon steals in episode eight season one. Luckily, Daeomon doesn’t get all of Syrrax’s eggs. She gives some to her niece Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) to protect and watch over.
Dreamfyre
Another dragon who has dealt with Daemon’s wicked machinations is Dreamfyre. She was originally bonded with the OG Princess Rhaena Targaryen—not to be confused with House of the Dragon characters Rhaenyra, Rhaenys, or Daemon and Laena’s daughter, who is also named Rhaena. In season one, Daemon stole one of Dreamfyre’s dragon eggs for his made up, yet-to-be born child. Blue and white, Dreamfyre has laid multiple eggs over the course of her life and is bonded with Queen Helaena Targaryen (Phia Saban) of Team Green, the sister-wife of King Aegon II.
Caraxes
Originally belonging to King Aemon Targaryen, the Prince of Dragonstone, Caraxes is described in Fire & Blood as “fiercest of all the young dragons in the Dragonpit.” According to Fire & Blood, after Aemon’s death, Caraxes bonds with another fierce Targaryen in Daemon, King Aemon’s nephew. A red dragon, Caraxes earned the nickname the Blood Wyrm for his bloodthirsty and cruel tendencies. In season one, Daemon uses these qualities to his advantage, using Caraxes to steal a dragon egg from Syrrax. In season two, Daemon rides Caraxes into Harrenhal, where he promptly takes over the castle. By the midway point of House of the Dragon season two, Caraxes is sitting pretty in Harrenhal, intimidating country folk into pledging their allegiance to Queen Rhaenyra.
Seasmoke
Don’t forget about Seasmoke. The grey dragon belonging to Laenor Velaryon (John MacMillan), the late, first husband of Queen Rhaenyra, has been out of commission for some time, but may be back in action sooner than you think. After fighting in the War for the Stepstones with Ser Laenor, Seasmoke is abandoned when Laenor fakes his death and escapes across the Narrow Sea with his male lover, Ser Qarl. With no rider to his name, Rhaenyra says that Seasmoke is “growing restless” at the beginning of season two. But Seasmoke may soon fly again. At the end of season two episode 5, Rhaenyra and her son Jace devised a plan to find distant relatives with Targaryen blood who can be trained to become dragon riders.
Vermax
Speaking of Targaryen blood: Vermax belongs to Jaeharys Targaryen, a.k.a Jace, Queen Rhaenyra’s eldest son. Jace and Vermax bond in season one episode six, when a young Jace almost finds himself at the wrong end of a “Dracarys” command. By episode ten, Jace and Vermax have bonded in part out of grief: Jace’s brother, Luke and his dragon, Arrax, have been killed by Aemond. In season two, Jace promises to avenge his brother’s death and help his mother take the throne, flying Vermax to the Freys in a successful bid to get them to support Rhaenyra in the brewing war.
Moondancer
A slight, green dragon, Moondancer belongs to Baela Targaryen (Bethany Antonia), daughter of the late Laena Velaryon and Daemon Targaryen. In season two of House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra gives Baela the task of patrolling Ser Criston Cole’s squad as they head to Harrenhal. Riding on Moondancer’s back, Baela gives Criston, Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox), and company quite the fright as she chases them into the forest.
Tyraxes
Tyraxes belongs to the youngest of Rhaenya and Laenor’s sons: Joffrey Velaryon. A youth just like his rider, Tyrax is described as “just a hatchling” in season two episode three. Still, hatchlings grow—and this hatchling is firmly planted on Team Black’s side.
Stormcloud
Tyraxes goes hand in hand with Stormcloud, the dragon belonging to Aegon III, a.k.a. Aegon the Younger—the son of Rhaenyra and Daemon. (Remember: Rhaenyra married her uncle, Daemon, after helping her first husband fake his death.) Both Tyraxes and Stormcloud travel with Rhaena Velaryon to the Vale, where they are met with a chilly reception from Lady Arryn, who was not pleased to have such young dragons offered to protect her and The Eyrie. “Stormcloud and Tyraxes are small, but they will grow,” Rhaenyra says. Who knows how big Stormcloud and Tyraxes will be when the war heats up at the end of season two!
Vermithor
A large, bronze dragon who used to belong to King Jaeherys I Targaryen, predecessor to King Viserys, Vermitor is an elder dragon, almost 100 years old by the beginning of Dance of the Dragon. Despite being one of the eldest and largest dragons remaining (only Vhagar and Balerion were bigger, according to Fire and Blood), Vermithor is currently riderless and living somewhere in Dragonstone. In the season one finale, Daemon attempts to find and conquer Vermithor to no avail. But just because Daemon couldn’t find Vermithor, that doesn’t mean he isn’t out there. At the end of season two episode five, Jace tells his mother, Rhaenrya, that there are two dragons big enough to take on Vhagar: Vermitor and Silverwing. All they need is to find riders for them.
Silverwing
The other half of Jace’s master plan, Silverwing is another large, silver dragon currently untamed and living in Dragonstone. Often paired with Vermithor, Silverwing previously was ridden by Alysanne Targaryen, queen and sister of King Jaehaerys I.
While those are all the named dragons left in Westeros, Daemon does mention in the season one finale that there are wild dragons nesting in Dragonstone, waiting to be ridden. Time will tell how they will factor into the great war between Team Black and Team Green, and which dragons will be left standing when the dust has settled.
