Rhaenyra Targaryen pets her dragon Syrax in new House of The Dragon pictures

Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon is a hot topic over all the social media platforms, as periodic leaks cause waves of reactions and excitement amongst curious fans. The teaser trailer received a largely positive response from the audience, and fans are expecting a lot from the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel. Fans are looking forward to seeing a large number of dragons that have been promised in the show, and we have a first look at one of them.

A series of previously unseen photos released by Splash News from the House of The Dragon set in Derbyshire show a young Rhaenyra Targaryen, played by Milly Alcock, petting and talking to a VFX prop, that seems to be a stand-in for a creature’s head, most probably her dragon Syrax. Rhaenyra first took Syrax as a mount in 104 AC, when the princess was seven years old. She had yellow scales and spent most of her time in chains during the civil war.
