So the culprit of those deaths really is Vhagar, but can we really blame her?

Are we being fair to our favorite old lady dragon?

As we know, Vhagar is thelast surviving dragonof Aegon the Conqueror’s Conquest of Westeros.

So Vhagar is old.

She doesn’t have it in her anymore to pull petty pranks on kids.

Either her mission is a serious one, or not really demanding her obedience.

After a lifetime of fighting and heartbreak, she just wants some peace and quiet.

Series creator and showrunnerRyan Condaldescribes Vhagar in a very interesting way.

Can We Really Blame Vhagar?

But with Aemond and Vhagar, it’s a little different.

We know Aemond is not a well-meaning person, especially towards Rhaenyra’s side of the family.

That’s not really wise, and, as far as pranks go, not a very funny one.

Vhagar even set Laena on fire out of respect for her and her orders.

The dragons are what make their house great and necessary.
