The 10 Strongest Dragons in the Game of Thrones Books, Ranked
2024/08/08 Report

The dragons of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series are as legendary as the characters who ride them. From the ancient conquerors to the latest fiery steeds, these magnificent beasts are the ultimate symbols of power in Westeros. Here, we delve into the top ten most formidable dragons, ranked in reverse order for maximum suspense. Let's take flight into the world of fire and blood!

10. Meleys, The Red Queen

Known for her speed and agility, Meleys, ridden by Rhaenys Targaryen, played a crucial role in the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Despite her swift nature, her end came tragically at the Battle of Rook's Rest, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the most revered dragons​​​​.

9. Syrax

Rhaenyra Targaryen’s loyal mount, Syrax, may not have been the most battle-hardened dragon, but her fierce loyalty and the strong bond with her rider made her a formidable presence.

Syrax’s role was more about strategic mobility, zipping Rhaenyra across Westeros, but her potential in battle shouldn’t be underestimated​​.

8. Caraxes, The Blood Wyrm

Daemon Targaryen’s ferocious dragon, Caraxes, lived up to his fearsome moniker. His reddish scales and aggressive demeanor made him a terror in the sky. Caraxes’ most notable battle was against Vhagar, where both dragons met their demise, a testament to his relentless fighting spirit​​​​.

7. Vermithor, The Bronze Fury

Vermithor, the third-largest dragon in Westerosi history, was initially ridden by King Jaehaerys I. Known for his massive size and bronze scales, Vermithor proved his might during the Dance of the Dragons, even after the peaceful reign of his first rider. His strength in battle was unmatched, making him a key player in Targaryen lore​​​​.

6. Sunfyre, The Golden

Aegon II's mount, Sunfyre, was not just majestic with his golden scales but also deadly in battle. Despite his relatively short lifespan, Sunfyre left a lasting impact during the Targaryen civil war, aiding in several significant dragon kills and showcasing the deadly beauty of the Targaryen lineage​​​​.

5. Viserion

Viserion, one of Daenerys Targaryen's three dragons, transformed into a nightmarish creature after being resurrected by the Night King. In his undead form, Viserion's icy breath and fearsome presence were pivotal in the Night King's assault, bringing a new level of terror to the battlefield. His fall was tragic but his impact, undeniable​​​​.

4. Meraxes

One of the original trio of dragons used by Aegon the Conqueror, Meraxes was a beast of immense size and power.

Ridden by Rhaenys Targaryen, Meraxes played a crucial role in the conquest of Westeros. Her ability to swallow a horse whole and her sheer size made her one of the most formidable dragons in history​​​​.

3. Vhagar

Vhagar, another of Aegon’s original trio, grew to be nearly as large as the legendary Balerion. Her long life saw her through numerous battles, including the fall of Harrenhal. By the time of the Dance of the Dragons, she was over 180 years old, yet still a force to be reckoned with, proving her longevity and ferocity​​​​.

2. Drogon

Daenerys Targaryen’s mount, Drogon, named after her late husband Khal Drogo, was the largest and most powerful of her dragons. Known for his black scales and red eyes, Drogon displayed immense strength and resilience, particularly in the battle against the Lannister army, and remained the last surviving dragon by the end of the series​​​​.

1. Balerion, The Black Dread

No dragon's legacy looms larger than Balerion’s. Ridden by Aegon the Conqueror, Balerion was instrumental in the conquest of Westeros. His immense size, with a wingspan that could shadow entire towns, and his black flames that could melt stone, earned him the name The Black Dread. Balerion’s dominance and terrifying presence make him the undisputed king of all dragons​​​​​
