Game of Thrones Dragon Names: Dragons to Know in Season 8
Dragons will dominate 'Game of Thrones' season 8
dailydot.comHere’s the latest on Game of Thrones dragon names.
- Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal remain the three principal dragons bred by Daenerys Targaryen, with Drogon typically described as the largest and most dominant of the trio. This trio has dominated discussions about the dragons since the show aired and continues to be the core reference for GOT dragons in fan content and press.[1][2]
- There are numerous fan guides and hobbyist lists that enumerate additional dragon names from broader GOT lore (books, spin-offs, and extended media). The most commonly cited names besides the main three often include Syrax, Caraxes, and Vermithor in the wider Targaryen canon, especially in related materials and permutations of the lore. These names appear across fan compilations and secondary sources.[4][6][7]
If you’d like, I can pull together a concise table of dragon names with their owners and fate, and include a short note on which sources popularized each name. I can also tailor recommendations for where to read the most reliable, up-to-date summaries (e.g., official material vs. fan-curated lists) and provide a quick glossary of terms used in dragon lore.
