Balerion the Black Horror.. the biggest, strongest and fiercest creature in the world of ice and fire ever 🔥🐉
Balerion's wings and scales were all black and his fire was black with swirls of red... When he was at the height of his power his fire was capable of melting steel and stone and melting sand into glass.
- Balerion was the last living creature to witness Valyria before its destruction, and it was so huge and large that when it spread its wings its shadows covered entire cities and towns as it passed over them.. Its teeth were as long as swords and its jaw was so huge it could swallow a mammoth whole
- He was the invading dragon of Aegon, and after him his son, Maigor the Cruel, then Iria Targaryen, and finally Viserys Targaryen. He participated in the invasion with Aegon and in suppressing the revolutions with Maigor. He went through a strange, terrifying journey to Valyria with Iria Targaryen that ended in a tragic end (we can make a special post for her)
- In the year 93 after the conquest, Balerion stopped growing and became heavy and slow. When Vyserys Targaryen rode him for the first time that year, Balerion was struggling to fly in the sky, and then Viserys realized that Balerion no longer had enough strength to fly from King's Landing to Dragonstone. And then, in the year 94 after the invasion, Balerion died because of his advanced age, when he reached the year 208, and Physiris was the last to ride him.
Balerion was stubborn and unruly and could never be messed with.
We mentioned many stories of Balerion on the page, the most important of which is the battle of the field of fire against Lannister and Tyrell, as well as his destruction of Harenhol, the largest castle of Westeros, and his battle with the dragon Quicksilver.
