Given the name of the series, the dragon played a very important role in "House of Dragons" Season 2, especially after what happened during its shocking Season 1 finale (you know, when Aemond Targaryen's dragon Vhaghar killed Rhaenyra's son Lucerys Velaryon and his dragon Arrax, House of Dragons). Launched a great succession war at Targaryen.

And in the first season of the "Game of Thrones" prequel series, you'll find everything from Rhaenyra Targaryen's (Emma D'Arcy) she—dragon Syrax Syrax to the scarlet-colored Meleys on which Rhaenys (Eve Best) rides, to the ferocious Caraxes on which the Demon (Matt Smith) rides, to the mythical monsters (in a new episode). The show will kick off on HBO and Max at 6.16 pm Eastern Time at 10pm.

The aforementioned fire-breathers will be back for the second installment (except Arrax for obvious reasons), as will fellow first season creatures like Seasmoke, Vermax, Dreamfyre and Vermithor. Joining them are newcomers dragons like Aegon (Tom Glyn・Kearney)'s Golden Beast Sunfire and Moon Dancer, the Demon's daughter Baella's Dragon ・ we're already peeking through these 2 brand new "House of Dragons" trailers ・ and the show's new "House of Dragons" trailer. Leberwing and Tirax tin. Dragonstone also has some wild dragons that may appear in the next season. 

And if you're struggling to remember which dragons belong to Team Green (a political faction supporting Aegon II Targaryen's claim on the Iron Throne) vs Team Black (one supporting Viserys' daughter Rhaenyra Targaryen as heir to the crown), Daemon broke it off easily in the season 1 finale. 

"They have three adults in my number," he said of the Greens. As for black people, "We have Syrax, Caraxes and Meleys. Your sons have Bellmax, Arax and Tyrax. Baella has a moon dancer...There are also unclaimed dragons. Seasmoke still exists on Driftmark. Vermithor and Silverwing live on Dragon Mount, but there are no riders yet. Then here are three wild dragons of every person in the nest...Dragonstone has 13 to four. It also has a score of eggs hatched on the Dragon Mount."So entering the second season, team Black has more dragon power advantages, but we doubt that Team Green will go down without a fight." 

All these dragons will definitely give a fiery boost to the battle between the Targaryen Brothers: In a new HBO feature, "House of Dragons," we were excited to get into it because this is the juicy part of the drama... There are dragons on both sides. The stakes are going up and up.
