The dragon that each zodiac sign would ride in HOTD
Until then, it’s time to determine which HOTD dragon will capture your zodiac sign’s fierceness. Keep reading to see which dragon you are based on your sun sign, moon sign, and/or rising sign:
Aries: You’re Vermithor
Being Mars-ruled means you need a dragon who captures your ferocious warring nature. While all dragons are battle-ready, none compare to the Bronze Fury. Although Vermithor is the second largest dragon after Vhagar, he’s just as dangerous. Aries, you may have resonated with his most prominent scene with Hugh the Hammer. Like Vermithor, you can’t help but be in awe of someone willing to stand up to you. You and Vermithor share a brutal temperament and fondness for those who can match your energy.
Taurus: You’re Syrax
Known for getting the princess treatment, Syrax perfectly captures your Taurus spirit. Both you and Syrax prefer living a leisurely lifestyle of flying with her dragonrider and being generously fed as opposed to fighting other dragons. Like you, Syrax isn’t necessarily a fierce or battle-ready girl. However, you and Syrax share an unwavering loyalty for the ones you love. When push comes to shove, you and Syrax will willingly fight for your counterparts.
Gemini: You’re Vermax
Gemini, you need to be paired with a dragon that can express all of your faces and temperaments. You contain multitudes, so your dragon counterpart needs to match your dexterity. Vermax is a young male dragon with a perplexing disposition and an equally complex dragonrider. Like you, Vermax can be lively and intriguing. However, there are times when Vermax’s personality flips a switch to become more intimidating like the elder dragons. You may resonate with this #TeamBlack dragon, since Vermax shares your chameleon-like personality.
Cancer: You’re Moondancer
Is there a dragon that captures your luminescence, Cancer? The she-dragon, Moondancer, resembles your lunar energy in name, spirit, and appearance. Moondancer’s name, pale green scales, and pearly horns honor your planetary ruler, the moon. You may feel drawn to this lustrous she-dragon for a reason. Moondancer will share your nimble intuition and admirable strength. Although you may both come across as unassuming, you and Moondancer are a force to reckon with.
Leo: You’re Sunfyre
Of course, you’re connected to Sunfyre, Leo. As a solar-ruled zodiac sign, you may be innately drawn to this dragon because of his name. However, Sunfyre’s gilded appearance is what truly captures your inner lion. Beloved for his gold scales and pale pink wings, Sunfyre is arguably the most beautiful dragon in Westeros. Like Sunfyre, you’re also typically hailed for your regality and striking presence. Together, you and Sunfyre share a splendid resemblance.
Virgo: You’re Meleys
Who can match your cunning nature, Virgo? As a Mercurial sign, you are quick and clever. Your brain is always on the go, looking for answers and making sense of new information. Although dragons are intelligent creatures, the most astute of them is Meleys. This she-dragon is no stranger to outwitting most opponents in battle. Meleys’ slyness is matched with her swift flying skills. Like Meleys, you come across as tactful yet brave when faced with a fight-or-flight situation.
Libra: You’re Seasmoke
Having a partner in life is so important to you, Libra. You’re associated with marriage, so you take your long-term relationships seriously. Similarly, Seasmoke also craves that type of connection. Neither you nor Seasmoke do well on your own. As observed by Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, it’s evident when you miss having a special bond. Despite wanting connection, you and Seasmoke are cautious, since the right person has to come along for you to take the relationship seriously. Once committed, you and Seasmoke are loyal to the very end.
Scorpio: You’re Vhagar
Nobody strikes fear into the heart like you and Vhagar do. Dubbed the “Queen of all Dragons”, Vhagar is the largest, most deadly dragon of all. She is a battle-hardened dragon who exemplifies your inner mercilessness and aggressiveness. Like you, Vhagar’s mere presence is powerful yet terrifying. However, one has to wonder if this is the true you and Vhagar. After all, given the right circumstances, or dragonrider, you and Vhagar have the potential to be entirely different. It all depends on who you and Vhagar trust with your lives.
Sagittarius: You’re Caraxes
Which dragon shares your impressive knowledge, Sagittarius? Unlike the other dragons, Caraxes is truly intimidating because of how much he has seen and experienced. Similarly to you, Caraxes is no stranger to adventure. His dragonrider, the Rogue Prince Daemon Targaryen, is why Caraxes is practically never in the dragonpit. You and Caraxes live a lawless lifestyle, often flitting from place to place. Thanks to your travels, both you and Caraxes share a worldly life.
Capricorn: You’re Balerion
No other dragon’s legacy compares to the stories of Balerion the Black Dread. As a Saturnian sign, you take your life’s work and mission seriously. You desire to be remembered, which is why you’re paired with arguably the most famous dragon. Balerion’s size, temperament, and biography outshines other dragons for centuries to come. Like Balerion, you may carry yourself in such a manner that history will always remember you.
Aquarius: You’re Silverwing
Aside from you, who else goes decades without seeing anyone before finding their new best friend? Silverwing! You and Silverwing share the same aloof yet genial nature. Known as the friendliest dragon, Silverwing takes an instant liking to her new dragonrider, Ulf, after being unclaimed for about thirty years. Like Silverwing, you prefer to be independent until the right companion comes along. After all, you and Silverwing would rather be unclaimed than with the wrong bestie.
Pisces: You’re Dreamfyre
Although all dragons are mystical, Dreamfyre truly exemplifies the magic you possess. Pisces, you may be initially drawn to this she-dragon for her pale blue scales and silver markings. Once you get past Dreamfyre’s mystical appearance, you will fall in love with her unique personality and dreamy disposition. You may also resonate with Dreamfyre’s rider, Helaena Targaryen, who was known to be a “dreamer”. The supernatural combination of Dreamfyre and Helaena speaks to your otherworldly essence.
