Warning: This Article Contains Major Spoilers for House of the Dragon From Fire & Blood. We’ve all been cheering for Rhaena to claim a dragon in House of the Dragon but so far there’s been no luck. For those happy to dive into spoilers, here’s what you can expect to happen.
Does Rhaena Ever Get a Dragon in House of the Dragon?
Up to House of the Dragon Season 2’s finale Rhaena has not claimed her own dragon, however, and it seems that the show will be straying away from its source material. Thanks to the book, Fire & Blood, there is an answer to whether or not she does get one, but this doesn’t seem like it will be the same in the show.
Major Spoilers Are To Follow!
Rhaena does claim her own dragon called Morning in the book. This dragon hatches during the events currently taking place in the show, the Dance of the Dragons, and lives to be one of the last dragons in Westeros.
Morning hatches from one of Syrax’s eggs sometimes between 129 to 131 AC. The dragon was extremely attached to Rhaena to the point that she would walk around with it perched on her shoulder. Eventually, Morning gets big enough to be ridden allowing Rhaena to take flight. We won’t go into the specifics of Morning’s fate, but now you know, yes, in the source material Rhaena does claim her own dragon.
Things May Differ in the Show
It isn’t clear how the show will handle this dragon, and if they’ll choose to make any changes to Rhaena’s story. During Season 2 we’ve seen Rhaena show clear interest in Sheepstealer, the wild dragon hunting near the Vale, so it is possible they could make drastic changes to her character. It remains to be seen. However, as the season concludes she still hasn’t tamed the wild dragon.
Fortunately, House of the Dragon has been renewed for a third season so eventually, Rhaena should get her dragon whether it winds up being book-accurate or not.
