Game of Thrones: With Viserion Fighting For the Enemy, Can Daenerys Find More Dragons?

The trailer for the final season of Game of Thrones is packed with plenty of awesome imagery — including some great peeks at Daenerys Targaryen's dragons. Her fire-breathing babies will surely play a big part in fighting the White Walkers and her quest for the throne, but let's not forget that she's down a dragon. In season seven, the Night King sadly kills Viserion and turns him into a wight to assist his undead army. Can Daenerys successfully help defeat them with only two dragons? And more importantly for all the dragon-loving fans, can she ever get more of them?

Though the dragons seem like such a staple on Game of Thrones, they don't actually show up until the very last episode of season one, so a refresher might come in handy. For much of that season, they're simply eggs. Dany receives the three eggs as a wedding gift from Illyria Mopatis, the guy who arranges her marriage to Khal Drogo. The eggs are mostly for decoration and revered for their worth, as they've aged and turned to stone overtime. But Dany feels connected to them somehow tries to get them to hatch. Nothing happens until she burns Mirri Maz Duur for cursing her and failing to save Drogo. Dany has the witch tied to Drogo's funeral pyre, places her dragon eggs on it, and walks into the fire when it's ignited. The next day, she's miraculously unharmed, and the eggs have hatched into three baby dragons.

Dany names the dragons Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion and raises them like her own children throughout the series. But as far as we and the characters on the show know, these are the only living dragons around, and the first ones to appear in centuries. If there are more out there, there's no definitive place they would be, since their origins are a little vague. In season one, Dany's handmaiden Doreah says that she heard dragons came from a second moon that hatched when it got too close to the sun. Dany's eggs, however, are said to have come from the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai. Could there be more eggs there? If so, Dany would have to travel all the way back to Essos, even further away from Westeros than she's gone previously.

And while the television series has deviated from the book series multiple times, there's always a chance that the final season pulls from the books for inspiration. In A Feast for Crows, Maester Aemon reveals that dragons are "neither male nor female . . . but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame." Dany's remaining dragons could feasibly reproduce, though it seems quite late in the game for that. If she wants fully grown dragons, her best bet might be a prophecy. In A Storm of Swords, Melisandre states that "Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone." Popular guesses think this refers to raising dragons from Dragonstone, which is a volcanic island. Dany has been hinted as a possible candidate to fulfil the prophecy — but she may have already done so, considering her current dragons from stone. If she does find more dragons, it should certainly be an exciting twist!
