In the vast and fiery world of HBO's House of the Dragon (HOTD), dragons are as crucial to the story as the characters themselves. While much attention is given to the likes of Vhagar and Caraxes, one dragon often overlooked is Dreamfyre—a creature steeped in mystery and tragedy. Bonded to Helaena Targaryen, Dreamfyre is a dragon whose history is as captivating as it is heartbreaking. Here are six little-known facts about this hidden gem of HOTD, which may just make you fall in love with her all over again.
Dreamfyre's story begins during the reign of Aegon the Conqueror, making her one of the oldest dragons in Westeros.
