Dance Information

The television series was first broadcast by HBO in 2011 and was adapted from the fantasy novels of George R. R. Martin. Within the story, the dragons are owned by the character Daenerys Targaryen. Drogon was named after Khal Drogo, Rhaegal after Rhaegar Targaryen, and Viserion after Viserys Targaryen.

The three dragons first hatched from petrified eggs during the events depicted in the first novel and first season of the television series. As they matured, they became larger and capable of carrying riders.

Drogon survived until the end of the television series, while Rhaegal and Viserion were killed during later events of the story.
