{{For|the ironborn longship with the same name|Grey Ghost (ship)}} {{Infobox animal character | firstname = Grey Ghost | image = Rudolf Hima-Grey-Ghost.jpg | image_caption = Grey Ghost, by Rudolf Hima © | Alias = | Title = | Owner = None <small>(wild)</small> | Species = [[Dragon]] | Place_of_Birth = [[Dragonstone]]<ref group="N">The age of Grey Ghost is unknown. It can be reasonably assumed he was a young dragon by the time of the Dance of the Dragons, however. Because 1) he was first wrongly believed to have been killed by the Cannibal, who was known to kill young dragons and feed on them. And 2) Grey Ghost was killed by Sunfyre, who was referred to as "a splendid beast, though young" during the Dance.</ref> | Date_of_Birth = | Place_of_Death = [[Dragonstone]] | Date_of_Death = {{Date|130}} | Books = ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'' (mentioned)<br>''[[Fire & Blood]]'' (mentioned)<br>''[[The Rise of the Dragon]]'' (mentioned)<br>''[[The Princess and the Queen]]'' (mentioned) }} '''Grey Ghost''', or '''the Grey Ghost''', was the name given by the [[smallfolk]] of [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]] to a wild [[dragon]] living on the island during the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Blacks and the Greens}} ==Appearance and Character== Grey Ghost was pale grey-white, the color of morning mist. He was a notably shy dragon, who avoided men and their works for years at a time. His avoidance of people, and his ability to hide in clouds and mist, gave him his name.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} Grey Ghost preferred to feed on fish, and was often glimpsed flying low over the [[narrow sea]], snatching prey from the waters. He made his lair in a smoking vent high on the eastern side of the [[Dragonmont]]. He was never claimed nor ridden by any man, and was one of the three wild dragons of Dragonstone, along with [[Sheepstealer]] and the [[Cannibal (dragon)|Cannibal]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} ==History== During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] [[Sowing|sought new dragonriders]] to fight the [[greens]]. Some of the [[dragonseed]]s looked for the Grey Ghost, but could not find him, as he was ever an elusive [[Bestiary|creature]]. [[Alyn Velaryon|Alyn of Hull]] first sought out Grey Ghost before attempting (and failing) to claim Sheepstealer.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} In {{Date|130}}, the crew of the ''[[Nessaria]]'' saw Grey Ghost and another dragon fighting in the sky above the Dragonmont. Grey Ghost was slain in the struggle. When Ser [[Robert Quince]] heard of Grey Ghost's death, he wrongly assumed this was the work of the Cannibal. In truth, Grey Ghost was vanquished and partially devoured by [[Sunfyre]] upon his return to [[Dragonstone]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} ==Notes== {{Notes}} ==References== {{References}} {{Dragons}} [[Category:130 AC deaths]] [[Category:Casualties of the Dance of the Dragons]] [[Category:Characters killed by Sunfyre]] [[Category:Dragons]] [[tr:Grey Ghost]] [[es:Fantasma Gris]] [[fr:Gris Spectre]] [[pt:Grey Ghost]] [[ru:Серый Призрак]] [[zh:灰影]]
