Dragons are the most powerful force in House of the Dragon but the beasts come in all shapes and sizes. So you can get a gauge of who has the bigger threat, hereās every dragon in House of the Dragon from largest to smallest.
Every Dragon in House of the Dragon So Far
The below list only includes dragons that weāve seen in House of the Dragon. While there are other dragons around during the series, if we havenāt yet seen them then they wonāt be on our list.
Similarly, some entries do not have images yet but have been included as they have been mentioned in the series. Expect this list to be updated as more of these incredible beasts appear.
Balerion the Black Dread

While he isnāt alive in House of the Dragon, Balerion the Black Dreadās skull can be seen on Dragonstone during the series. The gigantic bone structure showcases the scale of this creature that was and still is the biggest dragon ever introduced in the franchise. It was ridden by Aegon the Conqueror during his conquest.
Vhagar

Vhagar is the largest living dragon in House of the Dragon and has multiple riders during the series. Her original rider was Visenya Targaryen during Aegonās conquest, but when we first see the dragon in the show she is ridden by Laena Velaryon. Later, Aemond Targaryen manages to tame and take control of this gigantic beast.
Vermithor

One of the largest dragons in House of the Dragon, Vermithor was first rode by King Jaehaerys Targaryen before going riderless after his passing. At this point in House of the Dragon, the beast resides on Dragonstone but has no rider.
Silverwing
![Silverwing staring down Ulf in House of the Dragon Season 2](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Silverwing-staring-down-Ulf-in-House-of-the-Dragon-Season-2.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Silverwing is another dragon currently on Dragonstone that has no rider. The creature used to be ridden by Alysanne Targaryen, but as of right now it instead wanders around Dragonstone with complete freedom.
Dreamfyre
![Dreamfyre breathing fire in House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Dreamfyre-breathing-fire-in-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Dreamfyre is a dragon that we havenāt seen much of in House of the Dragon, but we do know it is around. This incredible beast is the companion of Helaena Targaryen, and it is likely we will see the beast show up more before the series is over.
Caraxes
![Caraxes and Daemon in House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Caraxes-and-Daemon-in-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Caraxes is a dragon that needs no introduction. While smaller than the previous dragons on our list, this powerful force championed by Daemon Targaryen is agile and primed for combat.
Meleys
![Meleys roaring in House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Meleys-roaring-in-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Meleys, or the Red Queen is another of the oldest dragons in House of the Dragon. This creature first was ridden by Alyssa Targaryen before being tamed by Rhaenys Targaryen. The creature plays a major role in Season 2 of House of the Dragon.
Syrax
![Syrax House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Syrax-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Probably the most important dragon of the show, Syrax is the companion of Rhaenyra Targaryen. This is one of the medium-sized dragons that we see in the series but despite its size, it is still an incredibly powerful force capable of burning its foes in combat.
Sunfyre
![Sunfyre walking towards Aegon in House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Sunfyre-walking-towards-Aegon-in-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
The dragon of King Aegon II, Sunfyre is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful dragons in all of the series. This incredible creature has golden scales and while it might be on the smaller side it isnāt afraid of a fight.
Seasmoke
![Seasmoke House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Seasmoke-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Currently, Seasmoke has no rider in House of the Dragon, but when we first met the beast it belonged to Laenor Velaryon. The creature is one of many that Rhaenyra plans to attempt to match with a new rider later in the series.
Vermax
![Vermax watching Jace in House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Vermax-watching-Jace-in-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Vermax is the dragon of Jacaerys Velaryon. This dragon is one of the smaller creatures weāve seen on the show, but as you might see, paired with Jace, this creature is not one to be taken lightly.
Arrax
![Luc flying Arrax in House of the Dragon](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Luc-flying-Arrax-in-House-of-the-Dragon.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
Arrax is the dragon of Lucerys Velaryon. If youāve watched the show then youāve seen this dragon and probably already know what its size looks like in comparison to the larger beasts on this list.
Tyraxes
Tyraxes is only a baby in House of the Dragon. This beast is the promised companion to Joffrey Velaryon, and right now it should be no surprise why it is one of the smaller dragons in the series.
Stormcloud
![Baby Stormcloud in House of the Dragon Season 2](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Baby-Stormcloud-in-House-of-the-Dragon-Season-2.jpg?w=1024&resize=1200%2C675)
