It’s at least another year before we return to Westeros, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate about House of the Dragon Season 2. The Game of Thrones prequel show aired to huge success in 2022, immersing fans in the tangled lives of Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors – and their dragons.
In Season 1 we were introduced to the likes of Syrax, Rhaenyra Targaryen’s golden dragon, Caraxes Daemon Targaryen’s serpentine creature known as the Blood Wyrm, and Vhagar, the legendary beast who is about the size of a castle. We’ve also had an explosive introduction to Rhaenys Velaryon’s mount Meleys the Red Queen, and have seen Lucerys’s young dragon Arrax.
Showrunner Ryan Condal recently told the Hollywood Reporter there will be five new dragons in Season 2, so let’s take a look at which ones they might be.

5. Tessarion
Tessarion is the mount of Alicent Hightower and Viserys Targaryen's youngest son, Prince Daeron. He hasn't appeared in the series yet, as he is brought up in Old Town, the seat of the High Towers. However, it's likely he and his she-dragon will play a major role in the war to come. Photo: HBO
Potentially the biggest dragon alive during House of the Dragon, The Cannibal is one of the wild dragons who live on Dragonstone. He is ferocious and has never been tamed, earning his nickname from his habit of killing and eating other dragons. Photo: HBO
Sheepstealer is another wild dragon on Dragonstone who has never been ridden. However, in Season 2 she could well be distracted from her pastime of devouring livestock as she is destined to have a key role in the Dance of Dragons. Photo: HBO
Moondancer is bonded to Baela Targaryen, the daughter of Laena Velaryon and Daemon Targaryen. She is described as a small but agile dragon who is pale green with pearl horns. Photo: HBO
