Vhagar

Lore & Background

Vhagar is known specifically as the 'Queen of All Dragons.' Before becoming Aemond Targaryen's mount, she was bonded to Laena Velaryon. The source notes that Aemond lost his left eye in a brawl with his nephews and subsequently aspired to become a dragonrider himself. He eventually claims Vhagar after her previous rider, Laena, passes away or is no longer riding her (implied by the text stating he 'later claims the old dragon Vhagar'). It strictly records that she is an 'old dragon' and was claimed by Aemond.

In Their Own Story

Aemond Targaryen, the thirdborn child and second son of Viserys and Alicent, grew into a fearsome warrior after losing his left eye in a brawl with his nephews. Known as 'Aemond One-Eye,' he aspired to be a dragonrider. His opportunity came when he claimed Vhagar, the old dragon previously bonded to Laena Velaryon. This pairing made him a formidable force within House Targaryen's Green faction. The source does not detail specific battles involving Vhagar and Aemond beyond her being his mount, nor does it describe the circumstances of their death or any aerial duels over the Gullet.

Reader's Guide

To identify Vhagar in the narrative, look for her association with Aemond Targaryen. The source confirms she is a dragonrider mount within the Targaryen family but does not list her original rider from the Conquest era or specific historical feats such as killing other dragons or destroying fleets. Her significance lies in her age and her role as Aemond's companion during the succession crisis known as the Dance of the Dragons.
