As the eggs of Daenerys' dragons were presumed to be hundreds of years old, any other petrified dragon eggs in existence may still hatch under the right conditions. Even if Daenerys' dragon eggs were the only ones to find their way into the hands of humans, there are likely more unhatched eggs hidden away elsewhere. Game of Thrones lore teaches two key dragon details - their eggs are notoriously difficult to hatch, and it's possible to cultivate a large population of dragons from a minimal starting number (like the Targaryens, dragons appear to have no qualms about incest).

In A Feast For Crows, Archmaester Marwyn reveals that the maesters finally conspired to kill off the last of the dragons. The predecessors of Daenerys' dragons then died in battle during a great civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, as chronicled in House of the Dragon, and after that, dragons grew smaller and weaker in captivity. The Doom of Valyria almost wiped them out, but the Targaryens were later able to repopulate their numbers using just five dragons. Dragons have reached a point of near-extinction at least twice before in Game of Thrones' history. The implication that new dragons are being born obviously opens up a lot of questions about what will happen next when even more dragons are reintroduced to the world.Īside from the possibility of Viserion, Rhaegal, and Drogon having offspring, it's also by no means confirmed that theirs were the last dragon eggs in existence. It's possible that Game of Thrones' Drogon could have produced his own eggs after flying off to Volantis with Daenerys' body. Indeed, every dragon in House of the Dragon could have been birthed asexually as well, as neither the original series nor the prequel has explained otherwise. If that's the case, then there could easily be a clutch of dragon eggs lurking somewhere in the darkness of the catacombs.Īlternatively, dragons might reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis (like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park). Rhaegal and Viserion were imprisoned beneath the Great Pyramid of Meereen for some time during Dany's rule, and the two dragons may well have occupied themselves by mating. This means that Daenerys' dragons may have been both male and female at different points in the series, which brings us to whether they might have laid eggs. The language misled us all for a thousand years." Dragons are neither male nor female, Barth saw the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame. "What fools we were, who thought ourselves so wise! The error crept in from the translation.
