Who is your favourite dragon

Syrax

Caraxes

Seasmoke

Meleys

Verma

Arrax

Vermithor

Tyraxes

Moondancer

Sunfyre

Dreamfire

Silverwing

Or Vhagar

Think I have them all, sorry if I've forgotten any. My favourite is Vhagar as he is so huge. The perfect dragon.

I also love the names of the dragons they suit them perfectly.

As I mentioned before in a thread on here;

It is Caraxes for me, just seems mean and battle ready.

Looking forward to how it does battle hopefully later in the series.

Is Sunfyre dead or badly injured in the TV series?

It may not fly so well again, but may return and do something else.

Yes. Love the Dragons.

I still love watching some of my favourite parts of the dragons during watching repeats of Daenerys in GoT using the phrase 'dracarys', along with the first major encounter with Jon Snow. Makes for great TV.

Often sometimes not a fan of the use of cgi, but it works so beautifully in every way with the dragons.

Yes CGI is brilliant with the dragons. They look so real.

Mine is still Meleys from this list 😁

Shame we did not see more of Sunfyre and Dreamfire so far. Other than that obv Drogon and Balerion, I love black dragons 😁

CGI looks nice, but I am still disappointed that Syrax is not growing at all... 🙄

Why do you think Syrax is not growing. I have no reason as to why not either.

Most likely for the same reason as last season 😂 no budget to make her a bigger version of CGI, what is sooooooo...... 😅 She meant to be much bigger than Sunfyre.

I never thought about them not having enough budget to make her bigger. I assumed it has a massive budget judging on the popularity of the programme.

Variety magazine reported S1 of HOTD had a budget of 'under' 20 million dollars per episode.

Of course that's a lot of money, but still around a third of the cost per hour of a mainstream film.

It was GoT which started cheap (c6 million) and got a lot more expensive as its popularity grew.

Hard to pick but I would go with Syrax!

I did wonder why she never grew, I didn't consider the cost of cgi!

I've also read that their growth has been stunted due to not being ridden for many years!? It would make sense that they didn't want to pay for more CGI!
