A Legendary Dragon's Last Flight

Vhagar, one of the most formidable dragons in House of the Dragon, meets her dramatic end during the pivotal Battle Above the Gods Eye. This legendary creature, ridden by Prince Aemond Targaryen, plays a crucial role in the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Her death marks a significant turning point in the conflict​​​​.

The Epic Battle

The battle that leads to Vhagar's demise is nothing short of epic.

Daemon Targaryen, mounted on his dragon Caraxes, challenges Aemond in a deadly aerial duel. The skies above the Gods Eye lake witness a fierce clash as the two dragons and their riders engage in combat. Daemon, in a bold and reckless move, leaps from Caraxes onto Vhagar and fatally stabs Aemond in his blind eye with the Valyrian steel sword, Dark Sister. This heroic act causes both dragons to plummet into the lake, resulting in their deaths​​​​.
