When Drogon tore through the Lannister army wasn't it the best? I wonder if Ed Sheeran was in that branch of the army...
We have all been waiting for Daenerys' babies to wreak some serious havoc since they hatched out of their shells seasons ago. Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion have let loose a couple times and roasted a few of Khaleesi's enemies (and a couple of randoms, but hey ho), but the three dragons really have grown up.
And developed a taste for violence.

And that was only one dragon. Like Jaime, we're wondering what three of them could do. Carnage. Armies turned to dust.
But as per usual with Game of Thrones, we have to wait and see and until then all we have are rumours and speculation to sustain us. Only joking, that's the best bit of the whole thing.
While everyone else has been fretting over who is going to die in the next episode's little jaunt over the wall (I mean... not everyone can possibly get out of that alive), or shouting internally at Sam for interrupting Gilly, who I'm beginning to think is the smart one in that relationship, when she has discovered something even more interesting about Jon Snow's parentage... one theory is more intriguing than most.
This theory comes from a book. Unsurprisingly, super-fans have been scouring over George R. R. Martin's source material desperately looking for clues and stuff for us to gossip about.

But not the Song of Fire and Ice books... it's from book he wrote 16 years before A Song of Fire and Ice was ever even published. And it's a children's book too.
George R. R. Martin has denied that The Ice Dragon is set in the same universe as his later series of Game of Thrones but he has done this to us before. It's like when Jon Snow 'died' - we all knew he was coming back.
The Ice Dragon predates Game of Thrones and although the author denies the connection, he has written several standalone books that are in the same universe before.

And there are a few mentions of ice dragons in the books.
That can't be an accident, right?
Old Nan from the GoT books has mentioned ice dragons before, referring to something as 'cold as the breath of the ice dragon', and that old woman seemed to know a lot. She was right about direwolves and giants - so she might be right about ice dragons.

Robb Stark mentions that Old Nan told him the sky is blue because they live in the eye of a blue-eyed giant named Macumber. I mean, let's not go as far as to say that's true but wouldn't it be a great twist?
Maester Margate mentions ice dragons, too and said that they are bigger than fire dragons: "Colossal beasts, many times larger than the dragons of Valyria... said to be made of living ice, with eyes of pale blue crystal and vast translucent wings through which the moon and stars can be glimpsed as they wheel across the sky.
"Whereas common dragons (if any dragon can truly be said to be common) breathe flame, ice dragons supposedly breathe cold, a chill so terrible that it can freeze a man solid in half a heartbeat."
And Maesters are the scholars of Westeros - if he thinks there are ice dragons, there probably are.

So what do we know about ice dragons? They're bigger than fire dragons - so they'll make Drogon look small. They're more dangerous, and breathe cold and freeze people to death.
It doesn't sound like Drogon and his pals will be able to fight an ice dragon, then.
So the question is, does The Night King have an ice dragon? Will he be able to use his ice cold and blue evil magic to resurrect one?
At the moment, the dragons are unparalleled. Even Cyburn's Scorpion didn't manage to do much other than piss off Drogon with that arrow - and I doubt anyone other than Bronn could have pulled that move off. It makes sense that Martin would want to have a serious foe for the dragons to come up against.
The series is about to draw to a close (*cries) and we need a dramatic finale - what if Daenerys sets her three fire dragons against The Night King's ice dragons?
Who would win?
