At the [[Wedding of Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen|wedding]] of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] to ''[[Khal]]'' [[Drogo]], she receives multiple bride gifts, including three petrified [[dragon egg]]s from [[Magister]] [[Illyrio Mopatis]]. Drogon's egg is black as the midnight sea, alive with scarlet ripples and swirls.{{Ref|AGOT|11}} 

The ''[[maegi]]'' [[Mirri Maz Duur]] proclaims that "only death can pay for life".{{Ref|AGOT|64}} After Khal Drogo's death, Daenerys burns his body, with Mirri Maz Duur and the three eggs on his pyre. When Daenerys hears the crack of the dragon eggs hatching, she walks into the inferno. In the flames, Drogon hatches, along with his brothers, [[Viserion]] and [[Rhaegal]], the first dragons born in a century and a half.{{Ref|AGOT|72}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
In the [[Red Waste]], Daenerys names the black dragon Drogon, after her husband Khal Drogo. She learns that the dragons, no larger than scrawny [[cat]]s, will only eat cooked meat.{{Ref|ACOK|12}}

When Daenerys arrives in [[Qarth]], Drogon and the other dragons are a marvel to the inhabitants of the ancient city.{{Ref|ACOK|12}}{{Ref|ACOK|27}}{{Ref|ACOK|40}} Drogon is on her shoulder when she enters [[Qarth]].{{Ref|ACOK|27}}

When Daenerys receives the news from [[Quhuru Mo]] of the news of the death of King [[Robert Baratheon]], the [[Usurper]], Drogon is seated in her lap. He hisses, and pale smoke rises before Daenerys's face like a veil.{{Ref|ACOK|27}}

When Daenerys enters the [[House of the Undying]], she has Drogon accompany her. Once inside, Drogon reacts to the [[vision]]s that Daenerys has. When the [[Undying Ones]] attack Daenerys, Drogon defends her by attacking the pulsating heart that stands at the center of the room, thereby slaying all of the Undying. This allows Daenerys to escape the House, and seems to seriously damage the structure itself.{{Ref|ACOK|48}} After the death of the Undying, Daenerys's [[handmaid]] [[Jhiqui]] places a [[Dothraki]] [[silver]] bell in her braided hair, though Daenerys silently protests that the victory was Drogon's, not hers.{{Ref|ACOK|63}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===

As Daenerys travels westward on the [[Summer Sea]], bold Drogon is the first of her dragons to fly above the water, flapping from ship to ship. He is also the first to kill, flaming fish as they leap out of the water, snatching them up, and eating them. The dragons are now about the size of a small [[dog]], Drogon slightly larger than the other two.{{Ref|ASOS|8}}

In order to pay for all [[Unsullied]] in [[Astapor]], Daenerys agrees to sell Drogon to the [[Good Masters]]. However, once she has received the [[Unsullied]], Drogon refuses to go with [[Kraznys mo Nakloz]]. Daenerys tells the masters that ''"a dragon is no [[slave]]"'', and with her command ''"[[Dracarys]]"'', Drogon looses his [[dragonflame|flame]] in Kraznys's face. Daenerys then commands the Unsullied to [[Sack of Astapor|attack their former masters]], and Drogon and the other dragons join in with the destruction.{{Ref|ASOS|27}}

When Daenerys learns that [[Jorah Mormont]] has betrayed her, her dragons echo her fury. Drogon flaps his wings, screams, and lashes his tail.{{Ref|ASOS|57}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[File‎:In Daznak’s Pit Antonio Jose Manzanedo III.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Daenerys and Drogon in [[Daznak's Pit]]. By Antonio Jose Manzanedo © Fantasy Flight Games]]
As [[Queen of Meereen]], Daenerys frequently receives petitioners asking for repayment for the sheep that her dragons have killed and eaten. Drogon particularly files far from [[Meereen]], and can easily devour a sheep a day. A man appears before Queen Daenerys in her [[Audience chamber (Great Pyramid)|audience chamber]], carrying a sack of burned and cracked bones, claiming they are the remains of his child [[Hazzea]], and that ''"the black one, the winged shadow"'' had killed and eaten her.{{Ref|ADWD|2}} 

Horrified, Daenerys orders all three dragons to be captured and imprisoned. [[Viserion]] and [[Rhaegal]] are eventually chained (though not without cost) in a [[Dragon pit (Great Pyramid)|makeshift "dragon pit"]] in the [[Great Pyramid]]. Though the bravest of Daenerys's men try to capture Drogon three times, Drogon escapes their attempts, burning most of the men and killing four. He disappears, last seen flying north toward the [[Dothraki sea]].{{Ref|ADWD|11}}

When the [[fighting pit]]s of Meereen are re-opened, Drogon appears above [[Daznak's Pit]], drawn by the noise and smell of blood. Always the largest of Daenerys's three dragons, in the wild he has grown even larger, his wings now measuring twenty feet across. Drogon descends into the pit and kills the [[boar]] that had just killed [[Barsena Blackhair]], and begins to devour both corpses. He sets much of the arena ablaze once provoked, and causes chaos and carnage as the citizens flee and trample one another. An [[animal]] handler named [[Harghaz]] attacks Drogon with a long spear, and comes close to slaying him. When Drogon is impaled by the spear, he and Daenerys scream as one. Drogon kills Harghaz, tearing his arm off. When her husband, [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]], shouts for his men to kill Drogon, Daenerys leaps into the pit, running to her "child". Daenerys manages to use a whip to make Drogon obey her, though with much difficulty, losing her hair and clothing when he bathes her in dragonfire. She mounts Drogon to pull the half-melted spear from his back, but after she does, he takes off. Daenerys holds on as Drogon flies away, becoming the first [[dragonrider]] in a century and a half.{{Ref|ADWD|52}}

Drogon takes Daenerys to his lair in the Dothraki sea, a hill that she calls [[Dragonstone (hill)|Dragonstone]]. Daenerys learns to command Drogon's flight with her whip and her words, but he refuses to return to Meereen. She attempts to walk there alone, but becomes delirious from the heat, lack of water and food, and from an illness brought on by eating green berries. In the grass, Daenerys sees a Dothraki scout, but he does not notice her, distracted by Drogon flying above. After the scout races away, Daenerys calls Drogon to her, and they fly, following the scout. Drogon kills one [[horse]] from a herd, and he and Daenerys devour it together. Afterwards, Drogon and Daenerys are discovered by ''Khal'' [[Jhaqo]] and his ''[[khalasar]]''.{{Ref|ADWD|71}}
