According to [[Tyrion Lannister]], Meraxes was larger than [[Vhagar]] but smaller than [[Balerion]],{{Ref|AGOT|13}} and it is said Meraxes could swallow horses whole.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} However, the reliability of both claims is uncertain, since Vhagar is the only dragon described by historical sources as grown almost as big as [[Balerion]], and Meraxes died at least several decades younger than Vhagar.{{refn|group="N"|It is unlikely that Meraxes was larger than [[Vhagar]], died at 181, considering that [[Rhaenys Targaryen]]'s dragon died in the year {{Date|10}}, 120 years before Vhagar (in {{Date|130}}), and that, even assuming she was born before [[Visenya Targaryen]]'s dragon, Meraxes may have died at a maximum of 123 years, 58 years before Vhagar at least. Furthermore, historical sources report that, at the time of her death, Vhagar had reached a size slightly smaller than that of [[Balerion]], died at least at 207, the largest of the Targaryen dragons since [[Aegon's Conquest]], while there are no similar references to the size of Meraxes from the maesters. Finally, it should be noted the assertion that Meraxes could swallow horses whole is not particularly trustworthy for determining the she-dragon's size, because the same claim is previously made for Vhagar too. For these reasons, Tyrion's memory about Meraxes may be a misremembering or a continuity mistake.}}
