Yeah, I remember that line from GoT but wasn't sure when that decline started.

I assume it's just like goldfish. A few generations in a lake and they look like koi. A few generations in a bowl and they end up in a toilet after a week.
Speaking of keeping them in captivity and now knowing that they can bust through layers of stone, wouldn't the dragons just peace out and leave the dragon pit? What's keeping them down there?
Plot necessity
The first 10 seconds of this video are absolute gold. LOL! Thanks for sending - will watch the whole thing later on. Screencrush does a good job.Teddy Perkins said:
Dragons raised in the dragon pit don't grow as big or as fast as dragons not kept in captivity. Lots of good dragon info in this video.
"Don't worry there won't be any spoilers." Immediately after showing a major plot point of an important character getting eaten.
Finale aired last Sunday. Not a spoiler.

My dog won't try to go through the clear hinged door on his doghouse. He could easily push it aside, but stops when he feels the solid resistance. Maybe the dragon never tried to bust out until encouraged by a rider it trusted. Their native habitat is solid rock volcano caves, and maybe assumed the dragon pit was equally strong.

So how was Luke's dragon so much smaller than Drogon?
Are we to assume that it hatched around the same time of his birth, making it 14?
Drogon hatched in S1 and was at least three times the size of Luke's dragon by S8, which was what, 4-5 years later?
Arrax is bigger than Drogon.
Refer to the dragon chart that's been posted on this thread.
Luke's dragon? Uh, he's not even close to Drogon. Did you not see how Luke was almost the same height as the dragon?
Help me decide which puppy to adopt. I've narrowed it down...
The chart was based on the books, and was done by a fan on reddit, so it's not official. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they intentionally made Arrax smaller for the show to play up the disparity in that fight.AgE2theBONE said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

The spoiler-sensitive crew might come after you for that one.
May want to spoiler tag the image, j/s.

This is pretty cool. Didn't realize how big caraxes was
My apologies on the Drogon/Arrax size comparison.
I'd seen the chart that showed Arrax was larger so I figured I was just remembering Drogon as being bigger than he actually was, but the still images from the shows make clear Drogon was quite larger.
Arrax clearly had some chihuahua delusion in him, going after Vhagar like that, and Vhagar is clearly cranky as hell in her old age.

"Cranky as hell". Lol. I'm dying.
Totally agree. I'm sure Vhagar was upset he was taken on a Star Wars-esque canyon run and then sucker punched with fire to the face. Can't blame her too much for getting a bit hangry.

Just caught up on the show and this thread. 3 questions.
1- did the Lord commander of the Kings guard catch a knife in the back off screen after he peaced-out? Or is he still out there whereabouts unknown?
2- The Kings guard brothers Eric and Arrik. Did only one defect to Rhaenyra?
3- Melee battle while in their prime. Aemond and Daemon vs. the Mountain and the Hound. Who would win?

1 - unknown. Didn't catch that you said offscreen. How would we know?
2 - yes
3 - maybe… hard to say. The mountain was pure brute strength, but I think any number of great swordsmen could have taken him in combat. I'd put money on Daemon but not Aemon.

1. Unknown
2. Erryk joined Rhaenyra, Arryk stayed with Aegon (easy way to remember - the two As)
3. Aemond seems to be on par with Criston, who is only slightly worse than Daemon (I know he has the H2H but come on, if Daemon wasn't showboating he would have won). I feel like Daemon would be clever enough to take on the Mountain and Aemond could probably hold off Sandor long enough for Daemon to kill the Mountain and 2v1 Sandor.

1) no idea, but likely. The Hightower's were not gonna let anyone that knew the truth leave
2) yes only one (no idea which), he was the one not really helping with Aegon.
4) melee 2 v 2? Clegans. In a big battle? Daemon and Aemond.
We should totes McGotes do a single-combat tournament for GoT and what we know of H o t D. No horses, no dragons, just 1 on 1 who would win a fight.
No immediate predictions except that Jon Snow goes down in the first round.

PS- one crossbow bolt at the coronation could have ended Rhaenyra. Dragons are great tanks from a distance and while in motion (unless there is a pirate firing a homing device crossbow at sea apparently) but if the mob gets close, that dragon rider goes down.
Huh? One crossbow bolt ends anyone.
What if it just hits them in the knee?
The Cleganes would pulverize their scrawny asses

I used to be an adventurer like you…

Both Cleganes got "beat" by smaller, quicker fighters in the show (not discounting that the Mountain was poisoned vs Oberyn).
I would bet Daemon with his valyrian steel sword would be an even match vs the Hound. Not sure if he could take on the Mountain without the reach advantage that the spear gave Oberyn. Would be very interested in a 1v1 best warrior of Westeros bracket

You see what happened to Viserys with a cut to the finger?
This only covers the GOT timeline, and obviously its subjective, but still a good videoThunder18 said:THE_CHOSEN_ONE said:

I might try and muster one up after the World Series ends. Although going to Disney for Thanksgiving so it might be a December thing.Thunder18 said:THE_CHOSEN_ONE said:

I would wager a Valyerian dagger on Jaime.(with his hand still)
