“House of the Dragon” is one of the series and movies with dragon stories where these winged beasts play a very important role in the plot. In this case, it is the greatest weapon each side has in the civil war of the Seven Kingdoms.
The battle known as the Dance with Dragons is divided into two factions: the Greens, who support Queen Alicent Hightower and her son Aegon II Targaryen, and the Blacks, who are loyal to Rhaenyra Targaryen as heir to the Iron Throne.
Being a battle between members of House Targaryens, who control the dragons in Westeros, both sides base their strategy and power on these fire-breathing creatures.
The second season of ‘House of the Dragon’ will start with the Dance of the Dragons and to know how many dragons each side has and who are their riders, we will mention it below.

Vhagar and his rider Aemond Targaryen
Currently, this dragon is the largest and oldest in Westeros, being over 100 years old. Its size and strength are unmatched by other dragons, but the inexperience of its rider, Aemond Targaryen, is its weak point.
In the series it appeared to belong to Laena Velaryon, but when Daemon’s second wife dies, the dragon is left without a rider and the child Aemond manages to bond with her and become her new master.
Other dragons that the Greens have are Helaena Targaryen’s Dreamfyre and King Aegon II’s Sunfyre, although these two dragons have only been mentioned and have not made a significant appearance in the series.
Syrax and her relationship with Rhaenyra Targaryen
The Black Queen has had this yellow dragon since she was 7 years old and has been seen riding it on several occasions in the series. However, Syrax never saw battle.
Syrax is a young dragon, but in episode 8 of “House of the Dragon” we saw that she gave birth to three eggs, which could be the ones that Daenerys takes in “Game of Thrones”.
Caraxes and his rider Daemon Targaryen
Known as the Blood Worm for its crimson scales, slender body, and penchant for brutality, this dragon exemplifies the personality of its Daemon owner, who is also impulsive and aggressive.
In Dance of Dragons, Daemon uses Caraxes to fight and instill fear in the Greens. In fact, he stars in a historic battle against Aemond One-Eyed Targaryen’s dragon Vhagar.
Meleys is ridden by Rhaenys Targaryen
In “House of the Dragon,” the queen who never was has already shown that Meleys dragon has immense power by invading Aegon II’s coronation and destroying the enclosure.
This female dragon is nicknamed the Red Queen, due to her red scales and pointed protrusions emerging from her head that give the impression of a crown.
Vermax and Jacaerys Velaryon
Rhaenyra’s eldest son bonded with this small, young dragon in the first season of “House of the Dragon”. By the time the events of the season finale occur, the dragon is big enough for you to ride.
In addition to Vermax, Rhaenyra and Daemon’s family also features Moondancer, who belongs to Baela Targaryen, as well as the Tyraxes who will be associated with Joffrey Velaryon.
Riderless Dragons in “House of the Dragon”
At the end of the first season of the series there are several unclaimed dragons. For the Dance of Dragons, they will seek to have a rider and join one of the sides in the civil war.
The first is Seasmoke, who belonged to Laenor Velaryon, but when he fakes his death with the help of Daemon and Rhaenyra to escape with his lover, the dragon is left without a rider.
Another dragon without an “owner” that will be of great importance in the Dance of the Dragons is Vermithor. In the final episode of the first season he appears briefly when Daemon seeks him out and sings to him in High Valyrian.
Vermithor is the second oldest and largest dragon in existence, so whoever manages to bring him into his service will have one of the most dangerous and powerful creatures in the Seven Kingdoms.
