Balerion the Black Dread was the largest and most feared dragon of House Targaryen his scales were as black as night his fire burned dark with red streaks his shadow could swallow entire cities he was the only dragon to survive the Doom of Valyria becoming a symbol of Targaryen power Aegon the Conqueror rode him during the War of Conquest using his fire to subdue kingdoms and forge the Iron Throne from the swords of his enemies in the battle of the Field of Fire alongside Vhagar and Meraxes Balerion helped annihilate thousands of soldiers securing Aegon's victory he was also instrumental in the destruction of Harrenhal where his flames melted the fortress leaving only smoldering ruins After Aegon's death Balerion was claimed by Maegor the Cruel who used him to crush rebellions with ruthless force over time the dragon grew old and sluggish until he finally died of old age in the Red Keep leaving only his massive skull as a testament to his former glory The original artwork was created by @the_art_of_armmy on Instagram, but this is an AI-generated interpretation by @targonixx. #Targaryen #HouseTargaryen #DaenerysTargaryen #MotherOfDragons #FireAndBlood #HouseOfTheDragon #GameOfThrones #TargaryenFamily #DragonRider #Valyria #AegonTargaryen #RhaenyraTargaryen #Dragons #TargaryenHistory #TargaryenLegacy #DragonQueen #TargaryenDynasty #TargaryenBlood #DragonFire #TargaryenPower #TargaryenKings #TargaryenQueens #TargaryenHeirs #TargaryenLegends #TargaryenMyth #aegontargaryen #aemond #aemondtargaryen #aemondtargaryenedit #alicenthightower #apoyó #aryastark #asoiaf #bloodandfire #canibal #cerseilannister #contenido #corlysvelaryon #creganstark #daemontargaryen #daenerystargaryen #daerontargaryen #dragon #dragonart #dracarys #drogon #foryoupage #foryoupage #fyp #fyp #fypシ #gameofthrones #hazmeviral #hotd #hotd #houseofthedragon #houseofthedragon #jaimelannister #jacaerysvelaryon #jonsnow #laenavelaryon #lucerysvelaryon #meleystheredqueen #meleys #mlp #ottohightower #parati #parati #rhaenatargaryen #rhaenyratargaryen #rhaenystargaryen #rhaenystargaryen #sansastark #sheepstealer #silverwing #syrax #targaryen #tyrionlannister #tywinlannister #vhagar #vhagar #video #videos #videosdetextos #viserion #viserystargaryen #viserystargaryen #vermithor #Viral #zyx - @maeghal
