May 20, 2019 at 12:06 comment added ashveli Aegon has an amazing knowledge on GoT, he is like a dictionary for GoT in stackexchange. He's letting others to answer thats why he doesn't post answer. Also, you guys can look at his sci-fi profile.
May 20, 2019 at 11:24 comment added Aegon @zibadawatimmy And that is what I said. The reason I am not making it an answer is because I don't know if it happens in the show that way and I simply don't care enough to look up all the different roads that the show took. FWIW, I was talking about grand history, Cersei's prophecy barely qualifies as that. I was not talking about smaller stuff like Cersei's prophecy or countless other minor changes, but rather the things that were grand in scale, i.e. Dance of the Dragons, Fall of Valyra, Valyrian Freehold.
May 20, 2019 at 11:05 comment added LevenTrek Even if there are other dragon-riders in the world, we haven't seen any in the show, and there's no indication that Drogon has ever encountered them. It's reasonable to assume that Drogon thinks Jon is the last of the Targaryens and the last of the dragon-riders.
May 20, 2019 at 10:57 comment added zibadawa timmy @Aegon That doesn't follow at all. If the show has never mentioned non-Targaryen riders (bastards or otherwise), then there's nothing to suppose that non-Targaryen riders even exist within the show. And there are events that predate the start of the show that are depicted within the show and are different from those in the books (the prophecy given to Cersei, for example).
May 20, 2019 at 10:52 comment added Aegon @zibadawatimmy The show begins in 300 AC so It's safe to assume that for all the events before that, the show and the books are on the same page. There are plenty of Non-Targaryen dragonriders in the books. It's just that we know Targaryens the best since they survived the doom. Well Targaryens and Velaryons although Velaryon dragonriders were far fewer. We have also had bastards of Houses Targaryen, Velaryon and Celtigar fly dragons. But on the off-chance that show has created it's own pre-S01E01 canon, this is posted as a comment rather than answer
May 20, 2019 at 10:49 comment added zibadawa timmy @Aegon Do we know that to be true in the show universe, though? Is anyone other than a Targaryen said to be capable of riding and bonding with a Dragon?
May 20, 2019 at 10:49 comment added Aegon I am okay with it if you edit it in your existing answer. Not posting it as an answer because that's all based on books canon, not show canon.
May 20, 2019 at 10:47 comment added LevenTrek @Aegon you make some really good points. post that as an answer and I'd vote for it
May 20, 2019 at 10:46 comment added Aegon Also, since we know that after a skinchanger dies a part of them goes on to live in their beast. While the bond between a rider and a dragon is extremely mysterious, it is possible that it is akin to skinchaning and some part of Daenerys was still alive in Drogon at that very moment.
May 20, 2019 at 10:45 comment added Aegon Dragons can and have killed Targaryens. Furthermore, Targaryens are not the only ones who can ride dragons, All Valyrians can. In fact Targaryens were the smallest of the Dragonriding Freeholder Houses of Valyria. Dragons share their riders' friends and enemies. If Daenerys to her last moment thought of Jon as a friend, Drogon will consider him a friend as well. If Daenerys thought him an enemy......Well good luck Jonno.
