As Balerion's burn forged the Iron Throne, Drogon'south fire melts it away into nothing, bringing a permanent finish to the struggles for it that take plagued Westeros for 300 years, and in a way, fulfilling his mother'due south goal to intermission the bike. With nothing left for him in Westeros, Drogon and then gently picks Daenerys up in his talons and flies away across the Narrow Bounding main.

Weeks later at a small council meeting, Bran Stark, the newly elected King of Westeros, inquires the whereabouts of Drogon, to which Samwell Tarly answers that he was last seen headed east toward Volantis. Bronn interrupts and quips, "The farther away the better." Bran proposes that he await for the dragon himself.^[31]

Personality and traits

Shut up of Drogon'due south eye.

Drogon is noticeably larger than Rhaegal and Viserion. Initially the luck of the describe in terms of biology, Drogon became even larger than them, as they spend over a year chained below Meereen while Drogon remained complimentary to hunt and fly at his leisure. Most of his scales are black, shadowing blood-red ones that run down his back and neck. His wings and frills are black-reddish mix, down to the fly-bones which are black. His eyes are orange-red. Drogon has grown considerably over the course of seven years, from the size of a kitten to the size of a large whale.

Being a dragon, Drogon has an immense physical strength and can spit destructive streams of burn. He can also fly extremely loftier and at great speeds, more than any other animal. Information technology is implied that physically, he is the strongest of the three dragons. During the Battle of King's Landing, Drogon'due south fire was shown to be strong plenty to demolish the city buildings, including the Ruby Go along, and blasts the city gates.

Drogon is the least shy of the iii dragons when it comes to interacting with humans, admitting for the worst. He is by far the most aggressive of the three, hands agitated and quick to anger, as seen when he is a juvenile and he snarled at a Yunkai Wise Primary when he approached his mother. Like his brothers, Drogon was trained by their female parent to understand the High Valyrian commands, especially "Dracarys" (High Valyrian for dragonfire), which Daenerys uses to command him to breathe burn on her enemies. He is too the first to react to orders and takes the initiative in confrontations, equally seen when Daenerys ordered her dragons to burn down Pyat Pree or when the Wise Master threatened her, he was the showtime to jump to his female parent's defense. He often seeks his mother'southward amore, and is often seen existence caressed past her. However, fifty-fifty she isn't safe from his acrimony, as seen when he snarled at her without warning when she tried to defuse a conflict betwixt the three. That said, he is fiercely protective of his mother, and will fight viciously in order to defend her, ignoring wounds if needed, as seen when he attacked the Sons of the Harpy in Daznak's Pit. Information technology appears that he can sense when Daenerys is in danger, and if he does, he will rush to her help. His larger size also makes him take a ascendant role amid his siblings, shown in how hands he stole a lamb from Rhaegal and Viserion; they cease their squabble and instead bleat for him to share the lamb with them.

Despite his feral heed, he also possesses a form of empathy, which is shown when he lies side by side to Daenerys as the latter mourns the fallen Jorah Mormont after the Battle of Winterfell. Drogon too cares greatly for Rhaegal and Viserion, every bit he roars in anguish when Viserion is killed by the Night King, and furiously avenges Rhaegal'southward death during the Boxing of Male monarch's Landing past destroying the Iron Fleet and all of the scorpions utilized by enemy forces.

When Drogon discovers his mother'due south lifeless body, he is overcome by grief and acrimony, just does non impairment her killer. Instead, he burns the Iron Throne with his fire until it is nothing just a pool of molten slag, destroying the ane object that is responsible for countless expiry and destruction over the past 300 years.

It remains a mystery why Drogon did not avenge Daenerys's death by killing Jon in return. Ordinarily, Drogon and his brothers would kill anyone who harmed or threatened to harm their female parent. Whatever the reason, the fact that Drogon spared Jon suggests that his listen isn't every bit bestial every bit one might think at first glance.

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Burn novels, Drogon is much the same. He is the largest and most aggressive of Daenerys's dragons.

In dissimilarity to Rhaegal and Viserion, Daenerys never explicitly says (both in the books and the prove) after whom she has named Drogon, but information technology is obvious - in retentiveness of her recently deceased husband, Khal Drogo. In the TV series, Drogon'south name is stated (in Valyrian) on-screen for the first time in the finale of Season 4 "The Children."

Balerion the Black Dread, the dragon of Aegon the Conqueror, was also colored black with ruby highlights. Generations later, before long subsequently Daenerys's dragons hatch, her bloodrider Aggo thinks Drogon resembles descriptions of Balerion and then closely that he is really a reincarnation of Balerion'south spirit; Daenerys says it may be so, simply gives him a new name for his new life.

When Daenerys enters the House of the Undying, Drogon accompanies her. Once inside, Drogon reacts to the visions that Daenerys has. When they come up upon the Undying, Drogon defends Daenerys by attacking the pulsating heart that stands at the center of the room and spitting fire at the Undying, thereby slaying them; this is the kickoff time that one of Daenerys'southward dragons breathes fire. This allows Daenerys to escape the House and seems to have seriously damaged the structure itself.

In the third novel, Daenerys notices that Drogon is more developed than his brothers: he grows faster, is the kickoff to wing above the water, first to flutter from ship to transport, the beginning to lose himself in a passing cloud, and the offset to kill prey. He is always hungry. At one occasion, Rhaegal tries to snatch a piece of meat from him merely fails. Drogon too grows more violent than his brothers: he bites Irri'southward hand when Daenerys is not around. Daenerys apologizes for that.

When the Wise Masters of Yunkai threaten Daenerys, she says "Dracarys" and Drogon burns Grazdan mo Eraz's tokar, who soils his pants in fearfulness. Daenerys taunts Grazdan for whining about the tokar. Grazdan tells angrily, "These lilliputian lizards will not keep you safe, I promise y'all. We will fill the air with arrows if they come up inside a league of Yunkai. Do you recall it is then hard to kill a dragon?" Daenerys answers nonchalantly, "Harder than to impale a slaver."

During the fifth novel, Daenerys is and then decorated ruling Meereen that she neglects the dragons. Like whatsoever wild beast that is left to grow without proper training, all three grow savage and unrestrained, especially Drogon; first they prey on sheep and goats, causing meaning losses to shepherds. Only after a little girl is killed by Drogon does Daenerys realize the dragons pose a great danger to her subjects, and must be kept locked in a makeshift dragon pit, large plenty to concord 500 men, within the Great Pyramid.

Viserion and Rhaegal are caught and chained, but Drogon is tougher: three times her servants effort to capture him, but in vain. Twoscore of her bravest had risked themselves, nearly all of them suffer burns, and four of them have died. On the night of the third endeavour, Drogon flies north beyond the Skahazadhan toward the tall grasses of the Dothraki sea, and does not return. His whereabouts are unknown for a long while. There are reports that he has been seen north of the river, higher up the grass of the Dothraki sea.

Drogon never returns to Dany at the Great Pyramid, and Tyrion doesn't definitely see him on the way to Meereen—withal, he does glimpse a flight animate being with leathery wings, who may well be Drogon, in the same chapter that is being adapted in the scene which unambiguously includes him in the TV series.

Drogon does not come to Daznak'south Pit in the books to save Daenerys; he is fatigued to the Pit by the smell of claret and fresh meat from the contempo of the gladiatorial battles (some involving animals), that results in the death of a pit fighter named Barsena Blackhair. Daenerys is amazed to see how much he has grown while being away: his wings stretch xx feet from tip to tip and brand sounds like a clap of thunder.

Many of the spectators flee, only an animal handler named Harghaz takes it on himself to exist a hero. Daenerys thinks that perchance he is drunk, or mad; possibly he has loved Barsena Blackhair from distant, or has heard some whisper of the girl that Drogon killed; perhaps he is just some common human being who wants bards to sing of him. Any his motive is, he leaps onto Drogon's dorsum and drives his fe spearpoint down at the base of the dragon'southward long scaled cervix. Daenerys and Drogon scream as one. Equally Harghaz tries to bulldoze the spear deeper, Drogon throws him off his dorsum, and then wrenches his forearm.

Hizdahr yells to the other spearmen "Impale the beast!" Daenerys cannot restrain herself, rushing to help Drogon. The spearmen run too, the dauntless ones in Drogon's direction and the wise ones away from him. Drogon spits fire at the spearmen, burning ii of them to death; his tail breaks the pitmaster (who snuck up behind him) into two pieces; another aggressor stabs at his eyes, until the dragon take hold of him in his jaws and tears his abdomen out. Daenerys approaches Drogon; he roars full in her face, his jiff hot enough to cicatrice pare. He bathes her in dragonfire, causing her to lose her hair and clothing. On Daenerys's right, Ser Barristan Selmy tries to draw Drogon's attention to him. Daenerys grabs the dead pitmaster's whip and hits Drogon repeatedly, till he obeys her. She jumps on his back, pulls the spear from his cervix, and they fly away.

Two hundred and fourteen people take been killed in the arena, either by Drogon or trampled to expiry in the commotion, and three times equally many take been burned or wounded. Drogon has gone from the metropolis by then, last seen high over the Skahazadhan, flying north.

Drogon takes Daenerys to his lair in the Dothraki sea. He allows Daenerys to ride on his dorsum, just not to turn him to the direction she wants. Daenerys knows that the dragonlords of old Valyria had controlled their mounts with binding spells and sorcerous horns, but she has none; Drogon is so strong that her whip only annoys him rather than hurt him. Wandering well-nigh, they spot a herd of horses. The riders abscond, and Drogon catches one horse. He and Daenerys share it, when she suddenly hears budgeted horses. She stands beside her dragon, as Khal Jhaqo and fifty warriors encounter her.

Daenerys refers to her three dragons every bit "brothers", but there is actually no specific reason to think that their eggs were all laid by the same dragon, or if the three eggs were even establish in the aforementioned place or gathered individually. She may call them "brothers" more in the figurative sense that they were raised together.
