 * This article is about the dragon, for Daenerys Targaryen's ship see Balerion (ship)

Balerion, known as Balerion the Black Dread, was the dragon ridden by Aegon the Conqueror during the War of Conquest. It was so large it was said his shadow could swallow an entire town when Balerion took flight.

Balerion was employed by Aegon the Conqueror to destroy Harrenhal and later participated in the Field of Fire.
