Why can Adam and Alyn ride dragons?
Adam and Alyn can ride dragons because they are "dragonseeds," possessing latent Valyrian blood (likely from Targaryen/Velaryon intermarriage, making them potential heirs to dragon-bonding abilities, with Adam bonding Seasmoke due to ancestral links and Alyn's nature leaning towards the sea, though Alyn doesn't ride in the book. Their Velaryon heritage, intertwined with Targaryens, grants them the potential to bond with dragons, challenging the idea that only Targaryens can.How is Adam of Hull able to ride a dragon?
Addam of Hull (Addam Velaryon) rides a dragon, Seasmoke, because he's a dragonseed with Valyrian blood (from his father Corlys Velaryon, whose family intermarried with Targaryens) and likely Targaryen ancestry, fitting the profile of someone who can bond, though dragons also choose riders based on spirit, connection (Seasmoke's previous rider Laenor Velaryon was his suspected father), and character, proving Valyrian blood, not just Targaryen, suffices.Does Alyn become a dragon rider?
Corlys suggests that Alyn could try to become dragonrider himself, but he refuses, stating that he is made for "salt and sea."Does Addam of Hull have Targaryen blood?
Addam of Hull (later Addam Velaryon) has potential Targaryen/Valyrian blood through his disputed parentage; while his mother claimed Laenor Velaryon as his father, the prevailing belief (especially in House of the Dragon) is that Corlys Velaryon is his father, and Velaryons have distant Targaryen/Valyrian ancestry, giving Addam the heritage to bond with Seasmoke, a dragon bonded to Laenor, a Targaryen. His ability to ride a dragon without being a direct Targaryen highlights the complexities of dragon-bonding, possibly due to Velaryon blood or a unique connection to Laenor's dragon.Why is Lord Corlys not a dragon rider?
Same reason Sir Darkwyn isn't a rider, the dragons said “No”. Targaryens and Valyrians have a history of marrying... so Corlys probably has Targ blood.Ulf Tames Silverwing and Rides into Kingslanding to Bait Aemond HOD S2 Episode 7

Why did Drogon spare Jon Snow?
Drogon spared Jon Snow due to a complex mix of Jon's >>!Targaryen blood<< (which dragons respect), his deep emotional bond with Daenerys (sensing Jon's grief and love, not pure malice), and possibly <<!Bran Stark's manipulation>> or Drogon's own understanding that the corrupting Iron Throne was the real enemy, leading him to destroy it instead of the man who loved Dany.How can Corlys bastards ride dragons?

Jon Snow has black hair because he's half Stark (dark hair, dominant) and half Targaryen (silver/blonde, recessive), so the dominant Stark genes, particularly from his mother Lyanna, determined his dark coloring, a common genetic outcome for half-breeds in Westeros, even serving as a perfect disguise for his true heritage.Is Adam of Hull Corly's son?
Yes, House of the Dragon season 2 strongly confirms that Addam of Hull (later Addam Velaryon) and his brother Alyn of Hull are the illegitimate sons of Corlys Velaryon, acknowledging them as his own, particularly after the deaths of his legitimate heirs, to secure Driftmark's succession, though their mother was Marilda of Hull, a ship captain.Does the Cannibal dragon ever get a rider?

He lived for about 200 years, with his final rider being King Viserys I, the last person to ever ride him.Who is the strongest dragon in Got?
The strongest dragon in the Game of Thrones universe is widely considered to be Balerion the Black Dread, the largest and most fearsome dragon ever ridden by the Targaryens, famous for his immense size, dark fire, and ability to melt stone and steel, dwarfing even later dragons like Drogon. Other top contenders for power include Vhagar, known for her vast size and battle experience, and Meraxes, though Balerion's sheer scale and destructive capability make him unmatched in lore.Could Drogon beat Vhagar?
Vhagar has countless battles worth of experience. The margin for error to take out Vhagar in single combat is so small and Drogon doesn't have the size or experience to take her down. Louie JayI understand he doesn't have dragon battle experience. And that goes against him in a dragon fight.Has Vhagar ever laid eggs?
Yes, Vhagar, being a "she-dragon" and one of the oldest in Westeros, is confirmed to have laid eggs, with some sources suggesting she was a "seasoned mother" by 60 AC and hatched eggs that participated in the Dance of the Dragons, potentially including dragons like Meleys, though the exact lineage is often debated and speculated upon by fans.Why did Ulf and Hugh betray?
It was believed that the treachery of the two dragonseeds was out of avarice, as they both resent the lands that Rhaenyra gave them and that Hugh and Ulf, who have a lust for power and wealth, desired to become lords.Is Lady Melisandre a Targaryen?
No, Melisandre is not explicitly a Targaryen in the main story, but many fan theories suggest she has a secret Targaryen connection, possibly being an ancient, magically preserved descendant of Shiera Seastar (a Targaryen bastard) or even born from blood magic involving Targaryens and dragons, explaining her deep knowledge of prophecy and fire magic, and her ability to survive centuries. While she claims to be from Asshai and was a slave, her immense age (revealed in the show by removing her glamour) and familiarity with dragon lore fuel these theories, especially with her strong focus on Azor Ahai and the "Prince That Was Promised".Which is the saddest death in got?
The saddest death in Game of Thrones is subjective, but Hodor (Wylis), Shireen Baratheon, and Ned Stark are consistently cited for their tragic, heartbreaking, or profoundly impactful demises, with Hodor's "Hold the Door" sacrifice showcasing a life defined by a tragic, forced purpose, while Shireen's burning by her father and Ned's execution shattered innocence and the show's moral compass, respectively. Other contenders include Jorah Mormont's selfless dying moments, Oberyn Martell's gruesome end, and Lyanna Mormont's brave last stand.Why is Daenerys immune to fire but not Jon Snow?
Yes, many of them can handle more heat than others but NONE are capable of surviving fire, until Dany.
