I might be remembering wrong, but wasn’t Cannibal said to have been around even during the time of Aegon The Conqueror…aren’t there even theories that he may not even be a Targaryen born dragon, but a dragon born to another family in Old Valyria before the doom, Cannibal is a big mystery in the lore.

@@rohaankhan7523no. The other dragons they came with are all dead and balerion is the only one living, along with meraxes and vhagar who hatched on dragonstone to the targaryens after the doom. Cannibal isn’t one of the five. Reasonable enough guess though.

I think a good idea for Silverwings fate is that Silverwing is the Dragon corpse that we see in a clash of kings in the red wastes.

Either the Maesters lied (not a shock) or there was some sort of program to kill the remaining Dragons and the Maesters refused to put it in the history books (also not a shock)…

The maesters are covering up so much. They rarely take people on their word and tend to throw away opinions not in line with their order.

House Targaryen is just so freaking fascinating. From a 100+ year old Dynasty that conquered 7 kingdoms forming them as one through the strength of dozens of Dragons, to becoming a shell of their former selves. I’m fascinated by the era after the Dance where the Targaryens had no more dragons. How did the common folk view them? Their power was clearly much more deteriorated than before.

I think "last dragon" should probably be interpreted as "last hatched", rather than last death. As stated in the video, there are probably 4 dragons who outlived "the last dragon".

That's the conclusion i've come to, i think if we ever get Fire and Blood 2 that is exactly what it will be. Just right now the TWOIAF is just to vague to really tell.

I’m also quite interested to know if any further small dragons were born in the interim between Morning and the misshapen Green dragon. The dragon born to Alyn’s daughter was supposedly maggot white and blind. Also if memory serves, there were a few small dragon skulls in the room Arya finds herself in. I quite like the idea of a small period of Aegon III’s reign where a couple of small withered dragons were born. It would certainly be a creepy occurrence to have a period of time where overgrown lizards prowled the red keep

Should be known “The Last Known Hatch Dragon” If the other dragons survive then probably are hidden or left to sothoryos

Bit of a crack theory but I think dragon "natural lifespan" using Balerion is a stretch considering the damage he took on his flight that brought him in contact with the fire wyrms and who knows what else. The Black Dread was never really the same after that, so it's possible, without that fateful excursion, Balerion could have lived even longer. Which brings me to my theory: Cannibal not only was the last dragon, but they might still be alive in the present day in the Song of Ice and Fire or their offspring at least. Specifically, on Skagos - an area remote enough that not much gets out but rumors have it of being full of strange entities like unicorns...and cannibals. Considering people are already having theories about the unicorns being big departures, what if the cannibals are also against common knowledge and not people who eat other people but Cannibals as in people who venerate *the* Cannibal? Similar to the tribes among the mountain clans venerating the "fire witch" and her dragon, the Skagosi could have had a similar relationship with this ancient beast flying off to solitude, evolving the custom and maintaining it if Cannibal did eventually die.

In regards to Sheepsteler and Nettles it is probable that their bonding could've been a primary factor in Rhaenerya's accusation of treason as Nettles' questionable heritage undermines the Targaryen Exceptionalism Doctrine established during the reign of Jaeherys I Regardless of the official accounts the fact that anyone lacking strong Valyrian heritage is able to claim a dragon represents a serious threat to the power of House Targaryen and could be the real reason for Rhaenerya demanding the death of Nettles after two of the Dragonseeds had defected as the queen could ill afford to allow a person whose existence undermines one of the core pillars of Targaryen power to wander freely or live at a time when the strength of the Targaryens is at it's most tenuous Given the Cannibal's size and the lack of records pertaining to his existence prior to the Dance along with his penchant for feasting on other dragons it is highly unlikely that he lived before the Doom as his existence as a wild dragon is very noteworthy and his feasting upon dragons would likely have not been tolerated by House Targaryen especially in the early years of the dynasty If size estimates are accurate it is likely that the Cannibal is roughly the same age as Vermithor yet his behavior is mysterious at best and indecipherable at worst but given the lack of records on the habits of wild dragons it is likely that they are a rare occurence or that no records were written prior to the rise of the Valyrian Freehold The scant records of the the life of Morning and the later years of Princess Rhaena could suggest the possibility of foul play given the dragon's relatively young age at the possible date of their demise along with the few credible records of the later life of Princess Rhaena the likelihood of the Maesters' Conspiracy makes this possible The fate of Silverwing is fascinating to say the least if reports can be relied upon they suggest that after the second battle of Tumbleton she became distraught after the loss of her mate and the death of Ulf the White meant she no longer had any reason to remain this suggest that extreme trauma can lead dragons to become feral Regardless the fact that no definitive records of Her death leaves the final fate of Silverwing open to interpretation as with many of the surviving adult dragons The fact that the last dragon born under the rule of House Targaryen was unnamed fits with the accounts of Aegon III having disdain for dragons yet what is remarkable is that despite her diminutive size she was able to lay a clutch of three eggs suggests that dragons are able to reproduce relatively young regardless of whether they reach the size attributed to adulthood Her death is the strongest case of the existence of the Grand Maester Conspiracy to eradicate magic in all its forms yet we must not forget that her death only marks the end of dragons in Westeros as the species could exist outside the known world as Sothoryos and the lands beyond the Bone Mountains are relatively unknown to scholars of Westeros

I don't remember what chapter this was, but after the torch is put to winterfell we don't see Old Nan anywhere, then I believe in one of Bran's warg-dreams, we see a dragon with the description of Sheepstealer taking off in an angry reign of fire or something. Nettles = Old Nan = Leaf.

GRRM wrote in "A World of Ice and Fire" that it was the "last Targaryen dragon" that died small. As with the history of Old Valyria, dragons bound to other families were not considered "Targaryen dragons" and thus dragons like SheepStealer and Cannibal not bound to the royal family, are not actually Targaryen Dragons.

If we're talking about literal dragons, it is the Ghost of Winterfell, kept warm by the hot springs, hatched by Ramsey's torching of Winterfell, patiently waiting for to be found by its rider (the PWWP). As the Kings of Winter in their tombs patiently await the Horn of Winter to awake them against the Army of the Dead. If George has lost his mojo, then he needs to find a really good co-writer and happily share credit for a story finished and well-told. It' s become ridiculous.

Theory: Maybe the key to hatch dragons was always in the targaryen motto(Fire and Blood). First someone needs fire because dragons are fire made flesh and then he needs a blood sacrifice because blood magic was the key for the valyrians to tame dragons in the first place. I suspect that the targaryens who first came to dragonstone before the Doom knew that the old knowledge and dragon lore from Valyria would eventually being forgotten so they decided to combine their family motto with the basic ingredients one needs in order to hatch a dragon egg that couldnt being hatched naturally. Remember what Laena Velaryon said that many of the dragon eggs never do hatch and this was decades before their eventual extinction. I suspect that after the dance with the death of all the adult members of the royal familly, the destruction of the dragon pit and the death of the dragonkeepers, the last remnants of the valyrian knowledge was lost. There is also a chance that a key to hatch a dragon egg was already forgotten even before Aegon's Conquest for unknown reasons(keep in mind that we know nearly nothing about the Targaryens before they became Kings of Westeros.

Beautiful mi lord 🖤

There was more than one dragon born after the Dance. The text mentions more than one stunted and sickly dragons being hatched and dying in Aegon’s reign.

Cannibal and Sheepstealer are technically alive as far as I can tell, GRRM could have told us how they died but since he hasn't they're alive for me. I agree that Silverwing's death will be explored in FaB2.

Loved this video, these are things I ask myself when it comes to these dragons that we know survived the Dance. I'd like to know more about the Cannibal himself and just exactly how he got his name. Yes we know he ate other dragons and their eggs so it seems to imply the Targaryens had other Dragons over the years that haven't been specifically mentioned or given names yet, just like the 4 other dragons other than Balerion that were brought over by Aenar pre Doom of Valyria.

These mystery dragons are alluded to quite a lot. Maegor was teased about not claiming a dragon, yet what dragon was available for him to claim? Balerion, Vhagar, Quicksilver and Dreamfyre had riders. There must have been other unnamed dragons hanging around. Jaehaerys told a story about how 10 dragons flew to the wall to defend the realm against wildlings. Who were the ten in his story. Vermithor, Silverwing, Dreamfyre, Meleys, Caraxes, Vhagar, Balerion… that’s only 7. Seasmoke and Syrax were yet to be born and Quicksilver was dead.

@GianniCumbo

@@joshuaadams6565 That's right! Maybe Sheepstealer comes into the picture but still that would leave 2 remaining. I am also reminded of little Daenerys (Jaehaerys firstborn daughter) when she was sick and Jae called for a Dragon (Or was it an egg?) for her which made me think of the same question; which Dragon? All are accounted for no? Maybe we will get a full account of all Targ Dragons but it seems to me they certainly existed. Maybe some that were too young when they lost their lives to the Cannibal and were never even really accounted for or given names, who knows! Evidently Maegor thought that the Dragons available to him were mere hatchlings or otherwise too young/small and hence unworthy of him. He had his eyes on Balerion...

Also, what if Vermithor and Silverwing mated one last season prior to the Dragonseeds? She may have been gravid and laid a clutch afterwards.

Yep i took a still from there, there isn't and art, official or fan made that shows the last dragon, the closest we get is Balea and Alyn's daughter Laena's malformed hatchling.

I hope they make it so that Aegon III. has Dragon Dreams and sees that the Maesters are conspiring to kill dragons and/or that the next few Targaryen generations are dangerous and unworthy which could mean the end of Dragons and the Targaryen and if that would happen Dragons wouldn’t be there to safe humanity from the white walkers and other dark times and therefore hiding dragon eggs in Westeros (like the crypt of the Starks and the Gods eye Island etc.) and hiding Dragons in remote regions of Westeros (Skagos and isolated valleys in the Vale, etc.) and Essos (Red Waste, etc.) with his father Daemon who assumed Tyland Lannisters identity after he returned to Westeros (starting to wear a hood and a silken cover over his disfigured head and face).

Cannibal might've been bound to Corlys Velaryon. That salute he gave him during his sea-funeral is too much of a coincidence, seeing as he would be far more interested in eating the body than saluting it.

Reasons why I root for Daemon… It has nothing to do whether you think he’s an asshole for killing his wife or you think he’s a badass for killing over 15 guys in the Battle of the Stepstones. Or because he rides Caraxes. The reason why Daemon is so cool is he excels at mostly everything. He gets things done. Viserys was the weaker brother who didn’t get things done because Otto poisoned his mind about his own brother. Otto is the real troublemaker. The keyword is mostly. HBO did give Daemon an erection problem like Tormund saying how Jon Snow had the smallest penis he had ever seen. HBO trying not to make Jon be completely perfect. Daemon being the second son failed to be king. Has never been a good husband. But if you look at his talent/skill set, he’s basically a Renaissance Man who was great at every job Viserys put him in… Swordsman? ☑️ Warrior/fighter? ☑️ Dragon rider? ☑️ Commander of the City Watch? ☑️ Master of coin? ☑️ Master of laws? ☑️ He was great as a knight, prince, protector, dragon rider, chief of police, treasurer, lawyer, and he gambled and won a lot of money from it. He was popular among the common folks, hence, Lord Flea Bottom. Then add being compassionate younger brother and loving father. Daemon wasn’t some jack of all trades but master of none. He excelled in all those jobs. That’s a cool character to enjoy and to watch. His charisma and sense of humor similar to Han Solo are just gravy. You can add dragon scholar/historian reading books on his family’s history. He was an extremely proud Targaryen. Team Green: Daemon is an asshole! He killed his wife and nobody seems to care. But when Criston kills Laenor’s gay lover, everyone hates on him! You know, Team Green/Booger, that’s true. There is a double standard that Daemon gets. But Daemon killing his first wife, was that any worse than Anakin doing what he did killing innocent children? But isn’t Anakin/Vader the most popular character in Star Wars? I think Vader is the bigger asshole but fans still worships him including me. The Joker killed and fans still love him. Loki killed and that Loki series is my all-time favorite on Disney+. Tony Stark can act like an asshole but Iron Man is still the most popular character in MCU. Same with Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai. Homelander is my favorite character in The Boys. I’m not rooting for Daemon because he’s perfect or he’s some saint. He’s far from being a saint. I root for Daemon because he’s an excellent all-around character. He’s versatile, complex, and practical to be allies with. I’m hearing Aemond this season is obsessed trying to be like his uncle. He worships him like Kylo Ren was a Sith poser because he idolized Darth Vader so much. Aemond is Daemon’s No. 1 stan. Like Kobe and LeBron idolizing Michael Jordan by imitating him, wearing his No. 23, and making a Space Jam movie. Aemond = the pretender to the throne He’s the cheap, fake imitation of the real one known as DAEMON TARGARYEN. Aemond is the most badass character from Team Green when he will never be as legendary as his uncle. Root for the wannabe but he isn’t beating the OG. Daemon = Darth Vader Aemond = Kylo Ren Daemon = Heisei/MonsterVerse Godzilla Aemond = 1998 Zilla Daemon is basically Jaime and Tyrion if they were one person. Add Bronn’s sense of humor and some Loki being a second son who wanted the throne but still loved his brother like Jaime and Tyrion had for each other. And Loki is regarded the best character in MCU. Iron Man is the more popular character but Loki had the far greater story arc.
