@@knoxgarfallen3355 yeah essos has just as much fowl magical nightmare shit too the further east you go, even an undead sand zombie army that supposedly was defeated millenia ago and will raise again to make a second attempt, further east you get basically 40k dark elves in their cities of twisted blades and never ending nights, the further south you go you basically run more and more into lovecraftian old gods and innsmouth fish people who sacrifice captured sailors to their deformed pily black stone statues of cthulhu, as well as long abandoned empire cities made of the same oily stone, shits basically horrible in whichever direction you go.
Indoraptor Unstoppable In Europe, moose are sometimes called elk. He might just be riding a bigger than average moose (which are pretty huge to begin with).
Imagine thousands of Undead Giants, Bears, Ice Spiders and the White Walkers riding the Ice dragons and attacked the wall. the nights watch would be shiting themselves.
That would be so freakin' cool if all them creatures united with the White Walkers to destroy the Wall and the 7 kingdoms and they would've actually won the long night!!!!
@@dylanlombardi4649 lmao didn’t u watch the show she jumped on the night king after materializing from air so she can definitely do it she is azor ahai and she will kill all the evil
Petrisivoje I would say that having too many seasons could ruin a show kinda like walking dead, but game of thrones managed to do that on their last season anyways.
It's just sad that the show didn't give us a lot of these magical creatures from the books. Think of how epic the show would have been had D&D not gotten bored and went 110% on the stories, plots involving the book material along with how much HBO was willing to spend.
I imagine when others arrive in the seven kingdoms they would freeze the ocean and attack each region separately. It would be cool if that happened because then we would see different battles from different perspectives.
@@FirstLast-uy3jr They should be able to freeze the ocean very easy but the wall has magical barrier that need to be put down with magical artifact or spell.
Ice Dragons might explain why the dragons from 200 years earlier wouldn't go north of the Wall. Imagine knowing 18 foot subhumans lived in the north and they took savagery to a whole new level. That's literally why Hadrian's Wall exists.
Thats probably what attacked balerion the dread when the 12 Yr old targaryan girl rode away with him and went missing for a whole year but both returned in a bad state
@@linzianna it was confirmed that balerion and the princess returned to valeria where they were attacked by a unknown creature along with the fire worm parasites that ended up killing the princess, it was most likely a wild fire dragon of similar or larger size that attacked balerion or 1 of the demonic/horrifying formerly sub terrainian creatures that started appearing in valeria after the doom that are simply described as demons by people that have witnessed them.
@@linzianna Fire Wyrms are what attacked her and Belerion , the miners and slaves of the Fourteen flames would fear encountering them because they would burrow through tunnels and set them on fire and drag them into there holes, and Fire wyrms come in all shapes and sizes, and a lot fans theorize that Belerion fought off a giant Fire Wyrm and the Princess got cought up in the brawl and perhaps got impregnated by the said fire Wyrm or another one ( kinda like some Alien type shit ) and that’s what you see happen to her when she arrives back in Kingslanding.
imagine if the starks got ahold of some ice dragon eggs and hatched them, raising them up like Daenarys did and using them as mounts and war beasts... that would be a frightening sight to behold. the starks could in theory become the next Targaryen dynasty, and could be just as feared and revered.
I feel like they're hard to hatch if they ever attain one and if they did successfully hatch one they would be just wild dragons. The thing with Targaryens and dragons is that it's a mystery how they were able to ride dragons, their bond isn't something you can just raise or tame. Some say that someone from beyond the Shadowlands or Asshai taught the Valyrians who are shepherds at that time. It needs magic, kind of like how Dany got her dragons hatched, she didn't just straight up burn it. She got Mirii Maaz Dur burned as well and when she was n fire she was chanting and they did said that Mirii Maaz Dur trained the art of shadowbinders in the Asshai which is far east from Westeros. Magic in the North and to the far east are very different.
The stories of grumpkins taking children and replacing them is based of of medieval Scandinavia. There were stories of trolls doing just that, probably made up to scare children. And Yes I am from Sweden, so that's how I know this. Do'nt EVER stop making videos! The AsoIaF are my faves❤
Not only Scandinavia though, we have stories like that from several regions of Europe; Fairies make Changelings in England and Ireland or the Wechelkind in Germany are examples.
In Turkey there are stories that some kind of Cin(Djinn) stole the childrens. Newborns spesificly. And theyre not fantasy stories truly horror stories.
I wouldn't say Sea Dragons are confirmed, that's just what the Ironborn think. There is a good chance Nagas bones are just the petrified remains of a weirwood grove or part of a hull of a ship made from weirwood
ASOIAF is the kind of show that deserves an anime, because length, production cost and compromising on details are simply not a problem. I don't really like anime, but it could easily be the length of One Piece.
Nagga's ribs are the remains of the Grey King's ship. The grey king made his ship from the wood he gathers when he killed the demon tree Ygg, which was white with a face that demanded human sacrifices.
If they followed the books closely they could have made 20 seasons with ease, with 2 more books coming. But I think that 2 books would not be enough , I want at least 3 more books .
Lordes Tokar won’t it be cool to have them rise up out of the sea and get coated in ice or something and the others ride them to scramble up cliff walls or something !!!
I absolute love the lore of the game of thrones world. Equals warhammer fantasy imo maybe even better. Love tolkien but always liked the darker universe those 2 offered.
The evidence of Sea dragons is in the Iron islands, however it isn’t the rib cage of some giant sea serpent Nagga. It is the leftover structure of the Grey Kings ship he made of weirwood, so Naggas bones is in the shape of the structure of a large ship or a giant rib cage and looks white because it’s petrified weirwood.
Well this makes the Jon Snow spinoff alot more interesting. I'm sure George would've brought these creatures up during meetings about what the show would feature.
You forgot the boar. One of the wildling (I cant remember his name) had a massive boar. You should also do a video of the creatures of essos. That could be interesting.
Ebb is probably based on that island In Siberia that had mammoths living there until like 1000 BC. That’s thousands of years after they died everywhere else
So on Skagos, there are rumors of shaggy-furred unicorns living there. Maybe the unicorns are really Wooly Rhinos and there are others Beyond the Wall or in Essos. Do Rhinos exist in other parts of A Song of Ice and Fire?

Imagine being a sailor swimming on the Shivering sea. The sea is surprisingly calm and then ... you hear a roar louder then adnything you've ever heard before. Men begin to panic, you realise what that roar was, but you try to repress that thought thinking it's just a myth and as it seems it was nothing, suddenly a huge Ice Dragon is above and breathes cold into your face. And all you think is, "They are real"
3 things I’d be if I was in game of thrones 1 a massive dragon 3 times bigger than balerion just roaming around chilling, 2 a massive 20 foot tall giant chilling beyond the wall, 3 ice dragon deep deep beyond the wall just chilling in the frozen lands of the north without any contact with any humans or anything south of the wall
Enjoy your videos, even tho GRRM will never complete this story. It's like someone sat me down, told me 100 hours of a story, then gets up and walks away. Between that, and what D@D did to the show, your videos are all I have left
As if being a man of the nights watch/wildling isn't bad enough GRRM decides to add the potential for massive spiders as well. I'd rather lose a hand for stealing than go to the nights watch
A lynx!? Shadowcats are considered larger than a mountain lion but smaller than a tiger. Therefore, they are probably about the size of a leopard or jaguar
2:32 :: "Elk" may mean: In USA, the wapiti ( en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cervus_canadensis , like a red deer); In Europe: _Alces_alces_ ( en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alces_alces , in USA called the moose); or the extinct animal _Megaloceros giganteus_ (Irish elk, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_elk ) .
I was pretty upset with the ending of the white walkers. I at least hoped to see a wight Hodor slipped into the background of a scene or two as an easter egg... But I looked a lot and saw nothing of the sort.
Ice dragons and sea dragons would be perfect and add more lore to the existence of dragons instead of debating wether they’re hybridised freaks or naturally occurring creatures
Could have made the white walkers a lot more threatening by having them mothafuckas on some giant ice spiders, I know they couldn’t have ice dragons because just one undead dragon nearly demolished everybody but spiders would not be as threatening.
I don’t know about giant spiders not being threatening,we have some big huntsman spiders in Australia & some really venomous little spiders;so I can imagine having a giant huntsman or giant red back or trapdoor spider! They way spiders move & can walk inside down on a ceiling n then just decide to let go & drop to the floor.Huntsman spiders can loose a leg or 2 n still live!Imagine those abilities in a giant spider.& most pple I know r terrified of spiders😂I don’t like it wen they r on me,but I always put them outside rather than squash them like most pple do.🕷️🕷️🕷️
Good vid, however, for the record, it is rather ambiguous in the books if “Naga’s Bones” are actual bones or petrified Weirwood stumps. Perhaps not definite evidence of the existence of sea dragons. ❤❤❤
wouldn't it be neat if the "giant ice spiders" are actually mechanical walkers used by the White Walkers as they're so mysterious that they're sometime thought as aliens?
They said the Shadowcats are between the size of a mountain lion and a tiger, so that's a big cat. And Ice Dragons bigger than the ones the Valyrians had? Balerion was said to be big enough to swallow a mammoth. Imagine the size of an Ice Dragon. I think they described the Ice Spiders were as big as hounds and hunted with them rather than riding them, but I could be remembering that wrong.
your average ice dragon is stated to be 3x the size of the average fire dragon which would already rival the size of balerion who was 4 or 5x bigger then a regular adult fire dragon so a ice dragon thats considered large/huge among ice dragons like balerion is/was for fire dragons would likely be much bigger then balerions was, you also need to account that unlike fire dragons ice dragons may very well have longer life spans since they are creatures made of pure ice like the others/WW are and we know the others/WW can't die from old age so unlike fire dragons who probably have a max lifespan of 250-300 years, there could very well be ice dragons that are thousands of years old just like some of the others/WW are/were since they can only die from some one/thing killing them but between them being so elusive/isolated along with there size/power and ferocity GL even finding let alone killing one.
@@CrimsonReapa We do not know if they were made of pure ice, but if they were, that would not explain why the Fire Dragons refused to go north. Fire Melt ice, so the Ice Dragons being made of Ice is unlikely. Most likely the Ice Dragons were like the Fire Dragons, very large thick scales, probably reinforced further by the old magicks of the North that were said to rival those of Essos and the Shadow Lands. My personal theory is this: Ice Dragons were flesh and bone like the Fire Dragons, but because of the stronger and older Magicks of the North, they were much sturdier than the Fire Dragons, and because of the Cold, their metabolisms were much slower, possibly nonexistent like those of "The Others"/White Walkers. Thus whatever they ate stayed in their systems longer, providing more nutrition and energy for growth, paired with the old magicks, the Ice Dragons not only lived longer than the Fire Dragons, but were also stronger, more powerful, and larger than the Fire Dragons. As such, like most animals, the Survival instinct of the Fire Dragons refused to let them go North of The Wall as that is Ice Dragon territory, and most creatures of such considerable power do not like others of same or greater power than they are, as such they do their best to avoid taking such risks. Also, creatures of such power tend to have much stronger instincts as such, the Fire Dragons could probably sense an Ice Dragon even if it was on the end furthest away from The Wall, which would mean the Ice Dragons could sense the same thing. Edit: Not that we will ever know for sure unless Martin comes forward and says as much.

They way spiders move & can walk inside down on a ceiling n then just decide to let go & drop to the floor.Huntsman spiders can loose a leg or 2 n still live!Imagine those abilities in a giant spider.& most pple I know r terrified of spiders😂I don’t like it wen they r on me,but I always put them outside rather than squash them like most pple do.🕷️🕷️🕷️
I thought sharks were that thing from Thundercats
I need to start reading the books but jesus I have no idea where to start
The first part(?)
The preface of the first book. The series is really worth the read, even if you’ve watched all of the HBO episodes.
It would been cool if they showed Ice Spiders and Snow Bears being ridden by Whitewalkers.
But no, just your genric zombie
Good vid, however, for the record, it is rather ambiguous in the books if “Naga’s Bones” are actual bones or petrified Weirwood stumps. Perhaps not definite evidence of the existence of sea dragons. ❤❤❤
wouldn't it be neat if the "giant ice spiders" are actually mechanical walkers used by the White Walkers as they're so mysterious that they're sometime thought as aliens?
They said the Shadowcats are between the size of a mountain lion and a tiger, so that's a big cat.
And Ice Dragons bigger than the ones the Valyrians had? Balerion was said to be big enough to swallow a mammoth. Imagine the size of an Ice Dragon.
I think they described the Ice Spiders were as big as hounds and hunted with them rather than riding them, but I could be remembering that wrong.
your average ice dragon is stated to be 3x the size of the average fire dragon which would already rival the size of balerion who was 4 or 5x bigger then a regular adult fire dragon so a ice dragon thats considered large/huge among ice dragons like balerion is/was for fire dragons would likely be much bigger then balerions was, you also need to account that unlike fire dragons ice dragons may very well have longer life spans since they are creatures made of pure ice like the others/WW are and we know the others/WW can't die from old age so unlike fire dragons who probably have a max lifespan of 250-300 years, there could very well be ice dragons that are thousands of years old just like some of the others/WW are/were since they can only die from some one/thing killing them but between them being so elusive/isolated along with there size/power and ferocity GL even finding let alone killing one.

We do not know if they were made of pure ice, but if they were, that would not explain why the Fire Dragons refused to go north. Fire Melt ice, so the Ice Dragons being made of Ice is unlikely. Most likely the Ice Dragons were like the Fire Dragons, very large thick scales, probably reinforced further by the old magicks of the North that were said to rival those of Essos and the Shadow Lands. My personal theory is this: Ice Dragons were flesh and bone like the Fire Dragons, but because of the stronger and older Magicks of the North, they were much sturdier than the Fire Dragons, and because of the Cold, their metabolisms were much slower, possibly nonexistent like those of "The Others"/White Walkers. Thus whatever they ate stayed in their systems longer, providing more nutrition and energy for growth, paired with the old magicks, the Ice Dragons not only lived longer than the Fire Dragons, but were also stronger, more powerful, and larger than the Fire Dragons. As such, like most animals, the Survival instinct of the Fire Dragons refused to let them go North of The Wall as that is Ice Dragon territory, and most creatures of such considerable power do not like others of same or greater power than they are, as such they do their best to avoid taking such risks. Also, creatures of such power tend to have much stronger instincts as such, the Fire Dragons could probably sense an Ice Dragon even if it was on the end furthest away from The Wall, which would mean the Ice Dragons could sense the same thing.
Edit: Not that we will ever know for sure unless Martin comes forward and says as much.
