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

Unlike many of the other dragons in Targaryen history, Syrax is tied only to one rider: Rhaenyra Targaryen. At the beginning of episode one of "House of the Dragon," Rhaenyra flies Syrax over King's Landing before settling her down in the Dragonpit. Later, Syrax's fire is used to cremate Aemma and Baelon after their deaths. In the second episode, Rhaenyra rides Syrax to Dragonstone to get the stolen dragon egg back from Daemon. When Rhaenyra is named queen at the end of the season, Syrax is still by her side. But because Rhaenyra is her first rider, Syrax is not trained in battle.
