Get to Know the Dragons of "House of the Dragon"

Caraxes is the dragon of Prince Daemon Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons, having previously been ridden by Prince Aemon, one of Jaehaerys's heirs (and Princess Rhaenys's father). Daemon is seen on Caraxes throughout the first season. Viewers see him fight for the first time in episode three, when Daemon flies him in the war in the Stepstones. Throughout season one, Daemon isn't afraid to use Caraxes to threaten, cajole, and intimidate. In the book, he's also nicknamed the Blood Wyrm because of his red color. Caraxes is an experienced rider, but still, he's about half the size of Vhagar.
