Here are all of the dragons in 'House of the Dragon' and who they belong to

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the “House of the Dragon” season three premiere. “House of the Dragon” season three kicks off with a bloody and spectacular bang, and a brand new dragonrider enters the fray.

At this point in the “Game of Thrones” timeline, there are more dragons than at any other time in Westerosi history — and plenty of people who are eager to wield their power.

In the HBO franchise’s second season, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) recruited dragonseeds to bolster her army as she plots to seize the Iron Throne from her half-brother, King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney).

As the original Targaryen conqueror proved over a century before, the more dragons a ruler has, the more likely they are to quash opposition.

Although Rhaenyra’s mission proved successful, at least a dozen hopefuls were killed in the process, with many more burned and maimed. “Dragons are not horses,” it says in “Fire & Blood,” the book on which “House of the Dragon” is based. “They do not easily accept men upon their backs, and when angered or threatened, they attack.” All the dragons featured so far in the show are listed below, along with their riders.

Note: Some dragons have accepted more than one rider in their lifetimes.
