Dragons

Dragons are magical creatures, only recently returned myth and legend. Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen, hatched three living creatures from eggs of stone, ushering in a new age of magic and dragonfire. These three dragons - Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal - would go on to have progeny of their own, leading to the resurgence of House Targaryen's arsenal.



Characteristics
Much and more has been written about dragons and their nature. Those details so steeped in the arcane can be found here.

Ancient and Legendary Dragons

 * Urrax was a legendary dragon slain by Serwyn of the Mirror Shield in song. Many claim now that he was a member of the Kingsguard, though that organization did not form until thousands of years after Urrax was supposedly slain.


 * Terrax was the dragon of Jaenara Belaerys, who flew to Sothoryos and explored further than any before her.

The names, stories, achievements and riders of the original Targaryen dragons can be found here. Though eggs from this era yet remain, most have been lost or prove dormant.

Known Dragons and Their Riders
''“We shall not pretend to any understanding of the bond between dragon and dragonrider; wiser heads have pondered that mystery for centuries. We do know however, that dragons are not horses, to be ridden by any man who throws a saddle on their back.”  –  Archmaester Gyldayn''

Known Dragon Eggs
''“Someday the dragons will return. My brother Daeron’s dreamed of it, and King Aerys read it in a prophecy. Maybe it will be my egg that hatches. That would be splendid.” – Egg ''
 * Prince Maelor’s Egg:  An egg that was white with swathes of green borne of Viserion.  Never hatched. Entombed with Prince Maelor upon Queen Olenna’s instruction.
 * Seastar’s clutches:  Seastar has lain two clutches. The first clutch contained three eggs, one of which was hatched to birth Erinnon.  Two others were stored in the Red Keep by royal decree. The second clutch contained four eggs, two of which were presented to the crown, with one belonging now to Princess Naerys Targaryen. The other two eggs were kept and hidden away by Lucerys Velaryon.
 * Silverwing’s cache:  Of these eggs, Grand Maester Selwyn deemed only two to remain viable. They have been stored in the Red Keep for half a century.
 * Starfyre’s clutches:  Starfyre laid seven eggs between her two clutches, and two have been hatched, birthing Moonfyre and Blue.  The rest are stored within the Red Keep.
 * Iraxes’ clutch:  Iraxes has laid one clutch of five eggs, two of which were hatched to birth Nightwing and Aegorax. The rest are stored within the Red Keep.
 * Cyrax' clutch: Many dragons were born from Cyrax's clutch - including Stormsong, Garnet, and Wraith - but only one remaining egg's whereabouts are known, belonging to Maekar Velaryon, son of Gael Targaryen.
