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

Sunfyre's evocative name is aided by an additional moniker: "The Golden." With golden scales and a reputation as the most beautiful dragon ever seen, Sunfyre is another dragon tied to just one rider: Aegon II, the other claimant of the Iron Throne during the Dance of the Dragons. Sunfyre is mentioned as Aegon's mount in episode six of "House of the Dragon," though we have not seen him so far in the series.

Sunfyre, like many of the dragons in the war, is relatively young. Aegon claimed him as a child. His name comes from the fact that his scales are gleaming gold, like the sun.
