Sunfyre,[b] known as Sunfyre the Golden, is a dragon bred by House Targaryen. He is bonded to King Aegon II Targaryen.
Biography[]
Background[]
Sunfyre is said to be the most eye-catching of the dragons. He has golden scales that glisten in the sunlight,[1] and pink wings.[3]
House of the Dragon: Season 1[]
Sunfyre stays at High Tide along with several other dragons during the funeral of Laena Velaryon. The next day, he flies back to King's Landing with Aegon Targaryen riding him.[3]
In the books[]
In Fire & Blood, Sunfyre's egg hatched at the Dragonmont. He had shining gold scales and pale pink wing membranes, and he breathed golden fire. He was, according to Archmaester Gyldayn, the most beautiful dragon in recorded history: his scales were not just similar to a golden yellow, but literally looked like gold metal shining in the sunlight. Sunfyre was a young adult dragon by the time of the Dance, older than Vermax and Tessarion but still younger than some of the blacks' dragons, like Syrax and Meleys. Despite his relative youth, he quickly grew to be quite strong and formidable.
Aegon II took a golden three-headed dragon as his personal sigil to honor Sunfyre.
