Why are there no wild dragons in Game of Thrones and HotD | The Targaryen Supremacy

Why are there no wild dragons in Game of Thrones and HotD


Slight Spoilers for HOTD 💀💀💀💀💀💀

 

Other than Daenerys' three dragons, no wild dragons existed throughout Game of Thrones. There are three wild dragons in HOTD.

Grey Ghost was one of them. He resided in Dragonmont's eastern sector. Even throughout the Dance of Dragons, which we'll witness in HOTD, he never had any riders. He stayed a wild dragon until 130 AC, when a ship's crew witnessed Grey Ghost engaged in combat with another dragon at Dragonmont.

But upon his return to Dragonstone, Aegon II's dragon Sunfyre consumed a portion of him.

 

Sheepstealer was the other. He dwelt behind Dragonmont as well, and he would hunt between Driftwater and Wendwater. He got his name from his propensity to chase and eat sheep. For a long time, he had no riders, but everyone who tried to mount him met their demise. Jacaerys Velaryon eventually summoned possible "dragonseeds," and Nettles rode Sheepstealer, bringing him sheep and taming him.


The Cannibal was the final one. He lived at Dragonmont's rear, on its eastern flank. Nobody could get on him. They would be eaten alive and incinerated if they tried. The sons of Silver Denys would be one example. Even after the Dance of Dragons, he remained without a ride, and his whereabouts are unknown.


Silverwing would technically be a wild dragon. She was claimed by Ulf White during the Dance, but he died from poisoning. So, she remained at Red Lake, riderless and wild.

What does "the dragon has three heads" actually mean?

What does "the dragon has three heads" actually mean? Source : Google Well, the most thrown-out answer to what people think it means is that the three-headed dragon refers to Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives. Prince Rhaegar, on the other hand, seems to have interpreted it as needing three Targaryen children in order to fulfill a prophecy. Others think it simply means needing three dragonriders. However, I think everyone in truth is misinterpreting the actual meaning of House Targaryen’s sigil, and, in the Targaryen’s case, they have forgotten the meaning of their own words: Fire and Blood Let's be clear: there is no such thing as a three-headed dragon, at least not physically, so it doesn't simply refer to Aegon and his two sister-wives. No, the three-headed dragon refers to the dragonbond, as do the words of House Targaryen, fire and blood. I am a proponent of the Lemur theory. The idea is that the dragonbond is similar to skin-changer magic in that there is ...
