Collider has ranked the 20 best dragons from HBO's "Game of Thrones" and its prequel "House of the Dragon," timed to the conclusion of House of the Dragon's third season. The list celebrates the franchise's dragons as some of the most recognisable creatures in modern fantasy, tracing their fictional history as war mounts of the Valyrian Empire and Targaryen dynasty before their near-extinction and eventual return under Daenerys Targaryen.

– Stormcloud, the still-hatchling dragon bonded to young Prince Aegon "The Younger," ranked 20th, with the article noting he has little to do on screen so far.
– Arrax, ridden by Prince Lucerys Velaryon, placed 19th; he was killed alongside his rider by the far larger dragon Vhagar during the Dance of the Dragons civil war.
– Tessarion, the vividly blue-scaled "Blue Queen" ridden by Prince Daeron Targaryen, appeared at 18th on the list.
– The full ranking continues beyond these entries, working towards the show's most powerful and memorable dragons.
