Meleys, called the Red Queen, was an old she-dragon ridden by Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.[1]
Description
Her scales were scarlet and the membranes of her wings were pink. Her crest, horns, and claws were bright as copper. She had grown lazy but was fearsome when roused. Meleys was old, cunning and no stranger to battle.
Because dragons never stop growing as they age, Meleys was apparently one of the eldest and largest dragons during the Dance of the Dragons. Vhagar, last of the original three Targaryen dragons, easily overpowered Arrax - a juvenile dragon who had only recently grown large enough to carry a rider. Even Caraxes faced a tough fight against Vhagar. In contrast, it was believed that in a one on one fight, Vhagar would have a difficult time fighting Meleys.[1]
History
Princess Rhaenys rode Meleys during the Dance of the Dragons. She fought against Vhagar and Sunfyre in the Battle of Rook's Rest, Although not as large as Vhagar, against Vhagar alone she might have stood a chance at victory. Meleys was killed fighting both dragons, however. Her head was drawn through the city of King's Landing on a cart, awing the crowds of smallfolk into silence.[1]
