===Daemon the Rogue Prince=== [[File:TV_Caraxes.jpeg|Caraxes in ''[[House of the Dragon]]''|thumb|400px|right]] By {{Date|105}}, Aemon's nephew, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], had claimed Caraxes as his mount. Daemon took his [[paramour]] [[Mysaria]] with him on Caraxes when he retreated from [[King's Landing]] for [[Dragonstone]]. Daemon used Caraxes during the [[War for the Stepstones]] ({{Date|106|115}}). During those years, Daemon divided his time between the Stepstones and Dragonstone where he would often fly with his niece, Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], and her dragon [[Syrax]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} After Daemon remarried to Lady [[Laena Velaryon]], the newly wed toured the [[Free Cities]] of [[Essos]] with their dragons Caraxes and Vhagar. Huge crowds came to see both dragons everywhere they went.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} After their return to [[Westeros]], the couple often flew with Rhaenyra. It is believed that the princess's dragon, [[Syrax]], mated with Caraxes at that time.{{Ref|TROTD|7}} At the start of the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Daemon landed Caraxes atop [[Kingspyre Tower]] during the [[assault on Harrenhal]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} Atop Caraxes later in the civil war, Daemon challenged [[Aemond Targaryen]] and [[Vhagar]] at Harrenhal. All four were killed in the ensuing [[Battle Above the Gods Eye]]. At the end of the fight, Vhagar locked with Caraxes and they fell into the [[Gods Eye]]. While in freefall, even as Vhagar's claws opened up Caraxes's belly and used her teeth to tear off one of his wing-arms, Caraxes locked his teeth onto the larger dragon's throat and tore it out. Vhagar did not survive the force of the fall. Somehow, Caraxes managed to live long enough to pull himself out of the water and onto the shore, even though his entrails were falling out and one of his arms had been torn clean off. The dragon soon died in front of the walls of Harrenhal.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}
