It's crazy to thnk that the Targaryens were one of the lowest of the Dragonlords, so you know there were dragons much larger than Balerion could have ever hoped to be
Its not about the lenght of the Dragons, thats a misconception. Most dragons were the same in lenght. Balerion is the biggest a dragon could get (as is the only dragon we know that died of old age). It was more about the amount of Dragons a family possessed. The Targaryens had just 5 dragons when the doom happened. And we know Valyria had over 300; that's 7 of average in total per family. That means that out of the 40 families, 20 had 7 to 10 dragons and 20 families had 7 to 1 dragon so that the average makes sense and so does the 300 total dragons. Targaryens with 5 were on the lower tier of families, thus had less power in Valyrian affairs that a family with more dragons.
@@crim1188other than common sense. If there were hundreds of other dragons(thousands over the centuries), what are the odds that balerion, a dragon from a lower house, would be the biggest ever?

Makes you wonder about the other Valaryian dragons before the doom. Yes Balerion was the largest recorded dragon but all the other dragons from Valyria were never recorded or so it seems so there very well could have been numerous dragons the size or larger than Balerion.

No, not happening. The more y’all fancast henry cavill as Aegon I the more show runners won’t do it. If Mr. Bulky pretty boy didn’t don a silver wig for the Witcher people wouldn’t be constantly picking him as #1 choice because people are unable to use their imagination to cast someone more realistic that hasn’t had a silver wig wearing role. Also, sorry to break your bubble but Cavill doesn’t have acting skills sufficient enough to lead an HBO show. The casting is not acting based, it’s purely based from appearance. That’s the truth. Him weird a sword is not enough to call it sufficient acting for a lead role. More than looks, acting ability is more important for the GoT and HotD show runners so that’s why daemon’s actor isn’t attractive by Targaryen standards but his acting ability fleshes out Daemon so well that we can’t imagine anyone else playing that character now. Also, the Aegon’s conquest storyline is extremely boring because it’s basically just fanservice of a perfect Mary sue chosen one hero winning at everything when he takes over some land. His failures at dorne aren’t enough to create a riveting story of grey characters, schemes, betrayal, and complicated political games that’s typical of what we’ve seen so far (and what’s appealed to so many fans) with HotD and GoT. Aegon’s conquest should stay untouched as a mysterious legend or if it is ever to be explored, we have to face the fact that it was a lie created as Targaryen propaganda (according to littlefinger’s famous line).
@@mochalotte4702aegon doesn't need to be the focus of the show, the show could view it through the eyes of the people he conquers or faces off against. and you'd be a fool to think that people wouldn't like to see dragons at their strongest with castles like harren hall and large battles like the field of fire. I enjoy the slow and complex parts of the show but it doesn't mean that's what most casual fans like it. and it's not like hard core fans will hate it eithermost of us would like to see that whether we say it or not. hennry's acting where he is basically a statue is oddly enough fitting for the role, aegon doesn't show emotion to most people around him except his closest family members. he also has the looks for the role, which is very important and just because hotd sacrificed that aspect of their characters doesn't mean it isn't important. it literally is part of what makes those characters them in the story.
@@mochalotte4702 they don't need to make a bunch of season for aegon the conquerors story. They could do a one season type of deal or just his story for the first season then the time of other Targaryen rulers in the book. Could be maegor or others. They could even do the time when valyria is on that doomsday time. Then jump to aegons childhood all throughout the time he sets his conquest for westeros.
I really wonder what caused this Massive Beast a Wound of that Magnitude, I really think it must either be Cannibal or that Aurion Baelaerys's Great Dragon in Qohor... I dont think other Dragons or any other Creatures in Valyria such as Wyverns or Firewyrms could even have a Chance to do that to him..
Aurion's dragon would've been the size of a godamn hill to do that. Not that it's impossible though. Given that aurion came from the powerful balaerys family, his dragon would've been much larger than the dragons of minor valyrian families like the targaryens.
I wish they would do a show or a series of agon and show how him and his sister wife’s won it all but one place dorn but I would like to see old valiera it would be great movies or series either one
My theory has always been, that balerion was trying to over power visenys’ will and take him across the sea like heiria. So after he landed the first time, he refused to ever fly again.
My bet she had successfully bonded to the balerion and flew to the ruins of the empire to prove herself. While exploring the ruins she was ambushed and captured by the abominations that still exist there. Balerion stayed but was unable to help her escape until she got herself free. Part of my theory is the maesters are intentionally withholding info about the ruins to stop the Targaryens and others from trying to reclaim its power.
I believe it's the opposite. Aerea wanted to prove herself by trying to claim and ride Balerion. But Aerea was dumb. Merely being a Targaryen isn't enough to claim a dragon as old and wise as Balerion. She tried to claim Balerion on that merit alone, and while she was able to fly on him, he never submitted to her and simply flew where he wanted, which, unfortunately for her, was Valyria. You need to have iron willpower and diamond hard determination to claim a dragon like Balerion. Aerea was a child throwing a tantrum. She had neither of those.
Balerion would win because it took Vhaegar like 40 years just to match Balerions length. Vhaegar never reached Balerions mass though. They would have been a sight though flying over the field of fire with Meraxes , who was even bigger than Vhaegar during the conquest.
Back then they could use blood magic to enlarge their dragon, so its possible that higher tier families with sorcerers in their group were able to get dragon way way bigger than balerion, all that at a younger age. Imagine a dragon way bigger than balerion and alot more vigorous. Thats must have a been a sight…
I am always wondering, house Targaryen came to Dragonstone with 5 dragons, one of them was Balerion and Vhagar and Meraxes were born later on Dragonstone. What happend to the other four. Do we know anything about them. How did they die? How big did they get? Who rode them?
@KageYureii Dude, know your fictional history. I am not talking about the dragons that died during the dance. I am talking about the dragons Aenar Targaryen brought with him from old Valyria
It fits. Dragons choose who they want to bond with as well. Balarion was old. He was done fighting. He just wanted to rest. Viserys was no warrior or even much for a hunt or tourney. He liked that Balerion was the last living creature to see Old Valyria. They were a perfect match.
All I gotta say is that if they get Balerion right in the Aegon's conquest show then bruh Im locked in because if they actually give him black fire like described bruh I can't wait
I'm a huge g.o.t fan..one thing that always sucked,we hear about these great fighters and never seen it..khal Drogo,barastan selmy and others.and I wish we could atleast see balerion the dread atleast once
Just to confirm, it’s more likely that Balerion was injured by a fire worm / worms, they grew bigger than dragons, and would have survived in the volcanoes, so consider how she died, my money is on them
I’m telling by you once HOTD is done we need a conquest series Game of thrones gave us a look at Westeros after the Targaryens reign House of the dragon has given us a look during their reign and a conquest series would give us a look before their reign everything comes around full circle as George Lucas would say
The real question is what could possibly have inflicted such a wound on such a powerful dragon. As powerful as he was, Ancalagon the Black from Thangorodrim was larger and far more powerful.
shit smaug was the a small dragon by tolkien's standards and smaug would wax balerion. or just control his mind cause that would be more entertaining to the 7000 or so year old smaug, who was so bored he spent 60 years sleeping on a pile of gold. so not really a far comparison. like having darth vader challenge stephen hawking in a cage match.
She died off whatever she contracted when she flew off with balerion to who knows where. Her mother rhaena had a fallout with jaeherys and alysanne over this even though they had nothing to do with this. Fun fact aerea was maegor the cruet’s heir and was technically usurped by jaeherys when maegor died in 48 AC
There is a scene in A Game of Thrones when Tyrion remarks to himself that multiple men could ride a horses through Balerion's jaws & that he thought even a mammoth from beyond the wall would fit comfortably.
@@DemetriusJamal-he1uy how do you know? We do not know what other dragons Targaryens had while living in Valyria. Saying "he was the largest ever" is stupid.
Nope. Cannibal was the biggest of the wild dragons. But as of the DoD, Vhagar is the largest, followed by Vermithor. Cannibal being huge and ancient is just fan-wishing because he's similar in appearance to Balerion (and Drogon).
@@anonymousanonymous8344Being the third largest living dragon is still impressive. But as the Cannibal was a wild dragon and hasn't been seen since the end of the Dance its possible he may still be out there and grown larger.
@@SeviathTheHumanDragoA dragon's natural lifespan is about 200 years. There is about 150 years between Dance and modern Westeros so even if Cannibal would be very old and more inclined to sleep than fight
Guys stop like the targeryans were the lowest house in valyria there were larger dragons in valyria if balerion was the largest dragon it would state the targeryans to be a powerhouse in valyria but they werent they were in fact a minor house and balerion was but a hatchling in old valyria and also valyria was a very magical land thus the dragon lords of there are completely difffrent than the targeryans danny states that she think the old valyrian dragon lords used ancient horns or whips to command their dragons and also if there were fyre worms as large as balerion i think there would be larger dragons in valyria
One question i have if anyone can answer?..was balerion the biggest in Valeria before the collapse? Were there other large dragons close to or bigger than him? And how big is the cannibal?
There is no way to know for sure, as the dragons of old valyria are rarely mentioned. But I would suspect that given that Balerion died of old age, he was near the limit in terms of size that a dragon can get. The Cannibal was older, but smaller than vermithor and vhagar at the time of the Dance.

It fits. Dragons choose who they want to bond with as well. Balarion was old. He was done fighting. He just wanted to rest. Viserys was no warrior or even much for a hunt or tourney. He liked that Balerion was the last living creature to see Old Valyria. They were a perfect match.
No one knows how cannibal grew too after the dance or how long he lived.
All I gotta say is that if they get Balerion right in the Aegon's conquest show then bruh Im locked in because if they actually give him black fire like described bruh I can't wait
Would've been great if they atleast showed Viserys with Balerion in season 1
SOME SAY COW SOME SAY WOOLLEY MAMMOTH 😂
I'm a huge g.o.t fan..one thing that always sucked,we hear about these great fighters and never seen it..khal Drogo,barastan selmy and others.and I wish we could atleast see balerion the dread atleast once
The illustrations in this reel are from a specific book or they are just fan art ;
Wow, I have never heard that he could eat a woolly mammoth whole…
If that’s true, that’s really all you gotta say that’s just another level of huge.
Bro, imagine being one of the smallfolk and your only job is to haul dragon meat away from the kingdom for years.
lol that dragon need a loot of food XD
How did they feed this thing?
Carefully
@@jedi098765😂😂😂😂😅
Give him whatever he wants
Maybe there are big balrog like demons we don’t know about
I saw a video saying the cannibal in larger
I am just thinking how the funerals of dragons were done bcz they were very important for targaryeans
Viserys only had one ride on Balerion
I need a prequel what could have hurt this dragon
Just to confirm, it’s more likely that Balerion was injured by a fire worm / worms, they grew bigger than dragons, and would have survived in the volcanoes, so consider how she died, my money is on them
How big is a Wolly mammoth ?
I’m telling by you once HOTD is done we need a conquest series
Game of thrones gave us a look at Westeros after the Targaryens reign House of the dragon has given us a look during their reign and a conquest series would give us a look before their reign everything comes around full circle as George Lucas would say
And to end it you gotta add Robert's rebellion bro was a Goga Chad and ended a near 300 yr reign
Did agon have all the cheat codes
What happened to Jaeharys?
Bro font name
🐉
So balerion died of old age?
Big B!!!!!
Whom gave the balerion 9 foot wound and turn aerea targeryen worm hole
The real question is what could possibly have inflicted such a wound on such a powerful dragon. As powerful as he was, Ancalagon the Black from Thangorodrim was larger and far more powerful.
shit smaug was the a small dragon by tolkien's standards and smaug would wax balerion. or just control his mind cause that would be more entertaining to the 7000 or so year old smaug, who was so bored he spent 60 years sleeping on a pile of gold. so not really a far comparison. like having darth vader challenge stephen hawking in a cage match.
Ancalagon eats balerion in one bite though
What happened to aerea?
She died off whatever she contracted when she flew off with balerion to who knows where. Her mother rhaena had a fallout with jaeherys and alysanne over this even though they had nothing to do with this. Fun fact aerea was maegor the cruet’s heir and was technically usurped by jaeherys when maegor died in 48 AC
What did he eat
the wound killed bal, he can live up to 500+yrs if not for the wound
Viserys claimed Balerion and he died of cringe
Lmfao
Ok gotta ask do dragons poop?
Who injured balerion
It was probably a firewrym are a other giant dragon
Not mammoth whole auroch
There is a scene in A Game of Thrones when Tyrion remarks to himself that multiple men could ride a horses through Balerion's jaws & that he thought even a mammoth from beyond the wall would fit comfortably.
Nope, wasn't the largest
He was the largest Targaryen dragon ever
@@DemetriusJamal-he1uy how do you know? We do not know what other dragons Targaryens had while living in Valyria. Saying "he was the largest ever" is stupid.
The canibal is the only dragon capable of hurting Balerion
I bet everything that wound caused he's death ...
I thought a dragon called Cannibal was bigger than Balerion
He said “targaryen dragon”, cannibal is unclaimed.
Supposedly other dragon lords in valyria also likely had dragons bigger than balerion
Nope. Cannibal was the biggest of the wild dragons. But as of the DoD, Vhagar is the largest, followed by Vermithor. Cannibal being huge and ancient is just fan-wishing because he's similar in appearance to Balerion (and Drogon).
@@anonymousanonymous8344Being the third largest living dragon is still impressive. But as the Cannibal was a wild dragon and hasn't been seen since the end of the Dance its possible he may still be out there and grown larger.
@@SeviathTheHumanDragoA dragon's natural lifespan is about 200 years. There is about 150 years between Dance and modern Westeros so even if Cannibal would be very old and more inclined to sleep than fight
Not that viserys
Viserys (Rhaenyras father)
nah stolen form ancalgane the black the hobbit
Guys stop like the targeryans were the lowest house in valyria there were larger dragons in valyria if balerion was the largest dragon it would state the targeryans to be a powerhouse in valyria but they werent they were in fact a minor house and balerion was but a hatchling in old valyria and also valyria was a very magical land thus the dragon lords of there are completely difffrent than the targeryans danny states that she think the old valyrian dragon lords used ancient horns or whips to command their dragons and also if there were fyre worms as large as balerion i think there would be larger dragons in valyria
One question i have if anyone can answer?..was balerion the biggest in Valeria before the collapse? Were there other large dragons close to or bigger than him? And how big is the cannibal?
There is no way to know for sure, as the dragons of old valyria are rarely mentioned. But I would suspect that given that Balerion died of old age, he was near the limit in terms of size that a dragon can get. The Cannibal was older, but smaller than vermithor and vhagar at the time of the Dance.
@@lorerambleI thought the cannibal was the biggest one
Did old age kill him?
