The handwriting for the finale ofGame of Thronesgives some clues to Drogon ’s outlook in the last moments .

House of the Dragonadds more Dragon to the story while also essay these beasts in a deeper way thanGame of Thronesever did . The dragons are a symbol of position in the Targaryen clan , as evidenced by their treatment of those who do n’t manage to receive a dragon at birth , and they ’ve proved to be immensely healthy creatures . An former example of this isLaena Velaryon ’s dying . She plead with her dragon Vhagar to down her , but the wolf refused until the very last second . They do not kill on a whim but rather make decisions themselves .
Part of the theme ofHouse of the Dragonis theTargaryen ’s taking their tartar for granted . They begin to see them merely as weapon to habituate in their war . However , the show goes out of its means to show that the dragons are more in control than the Targaryens are willing to admit .
