In Game of Thrones, the dragons are not quite as prevalent as they were in previous HBO hit series such as the Sopranos or the GoT series. The majority of the dragons in Game of Thorns are swordmasters and wielders of huge, intimidating weapons that they use to bully weaker and more vulnerable human opponents into submission. Most of the dragons in A Song of Ice and Fire are portrayed as evil and fearsome, and even Oberyn Martell, who is the strongest and most cunning of all the Northern lords, is no match for the abilities and intimidating power of a dragon.
It is said that in ancient times, when dragons roamed the world they left a trail of dragon eggs everywhere they went, and dragons in the modern world do not generally leave any telltale tracks of their passage, unless they are guarding something valuable. Perhaps some dragons in Game of Throne Season 2 have been allowed to return to the world of Westeros, but most are believed to have died at the hands of their enemies. Whether this is true or not, there is no question that there are far fewer dragons in the Seven Kingdoms and the Reach than there were in the world of ice and fire in the pages of A Song of Ice and Fire.
What this means for the future is that dragons in the future may be creatures that are no longer in need of dragons to guard them. Yes, Cersei has her dragons, but so has Cernevious, and Kevan has a large number of wyverns, as does Jon’s wildling chameleon. Yes, the wyverns, dire Wolves, and giant sea creatures, are still present in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, but with the threat of the approaching ice and the growing threats from the Iron Throne, it is only a matter of time before most of these creatures are extinct. Will the next generation of fans find the same fate befall those dragons that are left in the books, or will they be able to ride on the coattails of the powerful and mighty Cersei, Kevan, and Jon as they sail forth into the wild?
