I like how they made it's neck saggy to emphasize it's incredible age and it's status as an elder dragon. A scaly grandmother of the skies.

I loved how you can see that Vhagar didn’t want to kill Leana. She was sad, and it was very clear

Knowledge that Vhagar was bigger than whole castle complex is quite terrifying.

I love how the show never misses an opportunity to remind us just how insanely huge Vhagar actually is.

Game of Thrones really knows how to make their Dragons have weight and Size in every scene they show up, it's amazing

I like how they have Vhagar doing sinusoidal cycles. She is so big that she needs to dive regularly to get enough air under her wings to create lift.

I really like how Vhagar feels like a Godzilla type monster by comparison to the other dragons. She is absolutely massive and the fact that she flys and can just incinerate whole armies by herself is so exciting and frightening. Can’t wait to see how much they adapt from the rest of fire and blood because vhagar and Aemond do some demon time shit during this war and I’d love to see it adapted one for one.

Vhagar knew Aegon The Conqueror and was there for his crowning, she knew and flew with Balerion The Black Dread in his prime, she knew Maegor The Cruel, was ridden by Visenya Targaryen before, during and after the conquest…the things this dragon has seen and been apart of are legendary. Vhagar is literally the last surviving remnant of one of most legendary time periods in ASOIAF.

never seen a CGI creature that does not speak have so much clearly defined and communicated depth of character. they did amazing work

Till episode 10 I didn't realize how big Vhagar actually is. Compared to other dragons, she is massive.

Vhagar design is amazing. Her loose skin and sluggish movement excellently emphasize her age and power.

I love how Vhaegar shakes her head, and you see her chin flapping. I find it utterly adorable, lol.

Imagine being laughed at for not having a dragon and coming back with THAT one

What people forget about Vhagar is how cruel she is even compared with other dragons. She chose Aemond with a reason, they're meant to burn together for real.

What did Aemond expect would happen, a dragon bigger and older than all the rest that are alive would understand that he was toying with his nephew and didn't want to kill him?

Fun fact: While all three of the dragons from the Conquest were alive (Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar), Vhagar was the smallest of the three. Obviously she was still a giant and she’s grown a good bit since then but if Meraxes had lived to that old age she likely would’ve been bigger than Vhagar, and of course Balerion was the largest of all… They were huge 😂

Vhagar kind of is a special dragon for some fans. Her scenes give a kind of glimpse of Balerion the Dread over the course of his life and/or possibly Drogon’s future. Edit: Unsurprisingly, this comment appears to have stirred up a war in the reply section

It's cool how old Vhagar acts. Her roar is more of a angry growl, she has a wrinkly neck, and holes in her wings to show the damage she's been through

The scene where Vhagar was flying above Arrax is truly epic even the sound she made as she flies overhead is reminiscent to the sound of a B-52 made as she flew above the much smaller Arrax

That first flight with aemond was Vaghar testing if he would fall

They got that old granny look down properly for vhagar

anyone else appreciate that they gave appropriate wingspans to the dragons here?

5:56 - THAT is one of my favorite shots in any TV show. The SCALE of that thing, you NEVER see stuff like that in TV.

I always respected Aemon's claiming of Vaghar. He approached her, granted ANNOYED her a bit, but kept his authority strong and unwavering. He had nerve and she acknowledged it. And that's exactly what Laena tried telling her daughter, (I forgot which one), that you can't wait for a dragon to accept you, or hatch for you. Dragons have to be CLAIMED. If she wanted Vhagar, she should've claimed her. Yes, she was mourning her mother, and wasn't in that mindset to claim her deceased mother's also-mourning dragon. But Aemon was. A dragon isn't a seat reservation. He was tired of waiting around to become a dragon rider. He took it up on himself and was Greatly rewarded.

It wasn’t till this show that I realized that Drogon was actually small compared to other dragons. Like he may have grown fast and will probably get way bigger, but even from his size in the final episode, he’s smaller than melys, caraxes, vermithor, and possibly seasmoke and vermax, with the closest being Syrax and vermax. And vahgar absolutely dwarfs him, showing how when it came to dragons it was only really his growth rate that made him special. Also when danaerys first flew on Drogon he was smaller than arrax

Hopefully maybe in he future we will get too see a movie or TV series about the doom of valyria and aegons conquest, I wanna see balerion take the screen as well as seeing a much more younger and in prime vhagar as well as meraxes

It’s so crazy how… even seeing how big she is we still know there was one dragon even bigger. Really hope we get to see Balerion at some point either as a flashback in this show or in another prequel.

"Visenya, is that you? are we going to burn Dornish people again?"

That last *CRUNCH* sound will stay with me as the show goes on.

Arrax: ( Hits Vhagar with Dragon flame ) Aemond: LUKE GET OUT OF HERE! I FORGOT TO GIVE VHAGAR HER MEDS AGAIN! 😫 Vhagar: 𝗕𝗔𝗘𝗟𝗬! 𝗠𝗔𝗘𝗥𝗬! 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗟𝗔𝗪𝗡 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡! 🤬

I love the fan theory that Vhagar is essentially senile with age, which would be part of why she decides to kill Arrax despite Aemonds attempts to control her.

3:27 Vhagar needs a running start to takeoff, just like big modern birds(geese, swans, condors, pelicans, albatross) and airplanes. I love that they made the dragons fly realistically in this series.

Caraxes is still my favorite dragon of HOTD so far but Vhagars a close 2nd. I hope they do The Cannibal right, he might end up being my favorite if so.

Keep in mind that during the Conquest, Vhagar was the smallest of the 3. By the time of the Dance she grew to be almost the same size as Balerion himself, just slightly smaller still. Dragons will continue to grow as they age so long as they have food and are free. Seeing this shot 5:56 of her in Storm's End, one of the largest castles out there, really adds to the stories of Balerion's shadow engulfing entire towns as he flew over them. Then there was also Meraxes. She was bigger than Vhagar during the Conquest and if it weren't for her early death, she was said to have had the chance to grow bigger than Balerion even. Small wonder the Targaryens were able to conquer all of Westeros with them except for Dorne. Full props to the Dornish for their resistance and they were responsible for killing Meraxes and her rider Queen Rhaenys

The one change is that I wish Laena and Vhagar had been part of the War of the Stepstones. Having her be the one to blast the troops around Daemon would have been a perfect first appearance for Vhagar, as well as displayed Laena’s skills as a fearless warrior and fleshed out her relationship with Daemon.

Vhagar should of had an Emmy nomination. What emotional range! Sadly, now she’s gone into only directing!

It's sad to see Carxes and Vhagar flying together knowing all too well their final faith will be them fighting one another

Vhaegar is incredible but Caraxes is just such a unique dragon. The way he flies, the sounds he makes….a great screen representation of the blood wyrm.

Kudos to the directors for using real dragons and not CGI! I hope no dragons are harmed during the making of the series!

They could never make me hate her.

I don’t know why, but the neck/throat looks really cool

Vhagar is hands down the MVP of season 1. Well, her and Paddy Considine's Viserys, of course...

Damn Vhagar breathing is like the sound of an engine igniting or something😂

I love how before she starts chasing arrax she almost seems to complain to herself

That violin drogon vibe they had going for Vhagar before she took of with Aemond

Got more screen time than Harwin Strong

Go back to when Leana was a child walking in the garden with the King and she asked where does "Vhagar" nests?? Fast forward she becomes her rider! I love Easter Eggs in shows.

i like they added the scene where vhagar incinirates leana, makes the dragons have more soul, when its roaring in pain knowing what she is asking him to do, its a very powerfull scene and glad they added it, its just shows how loyal dragons are to their linked riders, it honnestly reminded me of when you leave your doggo home alone, and as soon as you out the door they start crying cant wait to see season 2

Kinda bothered me in this show is the air displacement isn't as well depicted as in earlier episodes of GoT, The wingbeats of a massive animal like Vaghar would produce winds of incredible force and huge amounts of air displacement, kicking up sand storms, causing wakes in water below her from the sheer size of her slipstream, people would get sent flying, the sheer wind pressure from her wingbeats would crash like thunder and pop ear drums Her size doesn't seem as believable or imposing without these details, Imagine the presence if this was effectively depicted?

6:21 Vhagar tried to kick lucerys off of arrax lol I love the small details the CGI people in the series make.

Imo I think dragons making a new bond isn't about blood magic more than can this guy really fly me?Aemond being tossed around as she shakes her head and yelling as he's trying to hold on is so hilarious 🤣 That connection is made later once they get used to one another and even then a dragon can disobey their rider.

Its amazing on how much we can see that vhagar is clearly a war dragon, even her features shows how mercyless she is

Her tongue has a very tiny fork tip and I find that utterly adorable

Vhagor was one of the first dragons we know of and has been alive for hundreds of years. She’s known war most of her life and when she is chasing Luke she’s not doing it in a teasing manner like how her rider was. She was doing it knowing she would kill Luke in the end. You have no control over a dragon. Just like viserys said. “We don’t control them.”

Vhagar snoring while sleeping is just adorable even if she is mean green and old killing machine 😂❤

4:05 Vhagar was propably thinking "Calm down pipsqueak. When I was younger we did that every morning just to get our riders to wake up. Youngsters these days."

you can hear Arrax squeak when vhagar bites him awww 😢

I wish we got a flashback with balerion. That would be insane

4:05 This is my favorite scene of Vhagar. It really shows how massive Vhagar is and how horrifying it would be to look from the ground.

4:16 Aemond nearly dying by bird strike is hilarious.

Those ramparts are 35-40 ft high and Vhagar just towers over them.

It feels like Caraxes has more screen time but apparently Vhagar is the star of HotD!

3:03 look at this Queen. She was definitely testing Aemond.

Vhagar’s my favorite dragon in this franchise. She’s like an old she-hulk because she’s big and green.

I wish balerion still Alive in scene frist in begging eps 1 house of dragon

If you’re wondering how big Vhagar is, I looked it up bc I’m a nerd. She is 150m or 492 feet. So basically 1 & 1/3 football fields

The scene where aemond claims vhagar did the best job to me of showing just how massive she is. It’d also be really cool if we got to see balerion in s2 in a flashback of some sort

Poor Arrax😪

The way she shouts dracarys lol 😂

Holy cow, that's a big beast

We love you All Vhager even though the greens/the bad guys are now her masters.

7 minutes was enough to made me fall in love with her

Araxx:sorry friendly fire Vhagar:you chosen death my friend Araxx:oh sh-

People don’t seem to understand lol yet again. This Dragon belonged to the first Queen of a United 7 Kingdoms. This Dragon aided another Dragon in the conquering of an entire Kingdom. She is a Queen. Made of flesh, blood, and fire.

Always baffles me how Aemond really thought without a doubt that he could take the oldest and most powerful dragon who has fought in wars and has dragon killing engrained in her nature out chasing another dragon as a "joke" to scare that little boy. Utterly stupid.

I think this minute 00:09 is so beautiful, showing Vhagar from afar, she is so gigantic, imagine Baleryon

1:40 Love him or hate him, but that would've taken some guts and nuts right there....

6:41 THEY BOTH LOST CONTROL OF THEIR DRAGONS! Almond is clearly heard saying Vhagar No, but to no avail, she was too angry and followed her own instincts.

I love the theory about Dragonriders and their dragons sharing the same personality , like the Starklings and their Direwolves . Dragons are told to be extremely intelligent and aware of the person trying to claim them so it makes so much Sense for characters like Visenya , Aemond etc to be Vhagar's riders like she's ruthless, Cunning and unrelentless just like them .

Vhagar was def testing Aemond gangster to see if he can handle flying her and surprise to her he passed

I don’t believe for 1 second that all this ropes dangling off vhagar wouldn’t take someone’s eye out.

it's got that whole iguana/ dinosaur look love it :) variety in dragon's is the spice of life !

You can tell that dragon is old old and had seen some things lol

Queen of dragons

Vhagar is A380 of Dragons, her flying over Arrax is A380 flying above light jet 🛩️

I wonder if Vhagar's lack of crests and horns and that saggy iguana neck flap are just because she's old, or if she'd always just looked like that?

Really powerful and beautiful scene. The dragon scenes overall are phenomenal in this series.

That scene at the Storm's End still haunts me even in my dreams. Mamma Vhagar is a nightmare.

6:04 undoubtedly one of the most beautiful shots I've seen

They really got the design perfect with this dragon. I the scope in the size and the age emphasized in all the details.

Can't wait for next season. We have only touched the tip of the iceberg for the number of dragons we will see. I can't wait to see how big Vermithor is, and what other dragons will actually be shown.

I loved when that wicked boy Lucerys died. He blinded my hero Aemond ❤

Vhagar and Vermithor literally looked sexy and dangerous af. I loved these two

Oh that’s a big gurlll

You could hear from vhagar -whaaat,noo,nooooo

the scene where she is standing almost hidden near the castle was the first time I trully realized his huge size.. also this scene gave goozebumps

7 minutes. Icon queen! Find the Vhagar inside you. Yes, that might be a old saggy monster, but its also a fierce lady who ignores kids and CRUNCHES those who annoy her.

Will you do her screen time in season 2?

Vhager is like the cargo plane😂

a lot of people don't know this but Vhagar was one of the original 3 dragons that conquered Westeros. She flew alongside Balearian the black dread, the biggest dragon ever seen. If this is how big vhagar is, imagine how big Balearian was.
