The [[dragons]] have different personalities and physical appearances.<ref>IGN: [https://www.ign.com/articles/house-of-the-dragon-9-dragons-different-personalities-first-season House of the Dragon Will Unleash 9 Dragons in Its First Season]</ref> The following table lists the appearances (A) and mentions (M) of the [[dragon]]s episode by episode throughout the first season.
 +
*<sup>1</sup> Not mentioned by name but alluded to.
 +
*<sup>2</sup> Appears as a [[Skulls of the Targaryen dragons|skull]] only.
 +
*<sup>3</sup> By process of elimination, the dragon that Aemond encounters in the Dragonpit is Dreamfyre, as "[[The Black Queen]]" establishes that the greens have three adult dragons out of four total. While the dragon is similar in appearance to Seasmoke who would also be in the Dragonpit at this time, its horns are different and it does not have Seasmoke's beard. There are no other adult dragons in the Dragonpit at this time.

The dragons have different personalities and physical appearances.[3] The following table lists the appearances (A) and mentions (M) of the dragons episode by episode throughout the first season.

  • 1 Not mentioned by name but alluded to.
  • 2 Appears as a skull only.
  • 3 By process of elimination, the dragon that Aemond encounters in the Dragonpit is Dreamfyre, as "The Black Queen" establishes that the greens have three adult dragons out of four total. While the dragon is similar in appearance to Seasmoke who would also be in the Dragonpit at this time, its horns are different and it does not have Seasmoke's beard. There are no other adult dragons in the Dragonpit at this time.

Notes

  1. The ratings of episode 3 have not been officially released. The viewership was down about 1 million for the premiere on Sunday night due in part to airing in the U.S. during Labor Day weekend. The number of people watching the episode on HBO's platforms the following days was greater than for the first two episodes, however.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 Warner Bros. Discovery did not disclose the viewership numbers for these episodes.
