MethylEthylBS Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Newbie, here. I apologize in advance for my tin foil. But... If the white walkers do make it past the wall, the 7 kingdoms are screwed, plenty of dead men for them to bring back to life. The most natural thing for people to do to survive is to move south, and hide behind what could be the last bastion of safety remaining, the walls of King's Landing. But there ARE dragon remains at KL. We are only told of the skulls, but we don't know anything of the rest of their remains. We also don't know the full extent of the Night King's/White Walker's power. We don't know if, perhaps, he/they have a Lego-type reassembly power, only that we can assume that they haven't had to use it yet, with plentiful corpses about to serve their purposes for the time being. I haven't seen any powers spectacular enough from the WW to see how 3 dragons wouldn't just take care of business and be home before supper without the WW having something else up their sleeves...Ok, you may commence with tin foil jokes.

aryagonnakill#2 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Your thinking of the show, there are no bone things in the books. The dragon skulls are also only skulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon2908 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think only the bones and skulls remain. If they were to be reanimated, then they would form a walking undead skeletal dragon.It wouldn't be able to fly because of the weight of the bones and lack of wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MethylEthylBS Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 While I realize, blatedly, that the NK/WW terminology is show, the point here was to actually make a case for ice dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are Ice Dragons (and I really hope there are), they surely won't be undead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a thought. They have the power of necromancy. Perhaps they can hatch the dragon eggs. But that would be suicide for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumHam Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I know there's magic, but I don't think there's any reason to believe that the Others can reanimate bones and somehow make them reconstruct their former body and hold together without muscle or ligaments.

TheSovereignGrave Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yeah, at this point I don't think there's any indication they can make your typical "skeleton" undead out of any remains. Just the wights. Now, if they kill one of Daenerys' dragons, that would be completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impbread Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I think it is actualy mentioned in the books that skeletons were not reanimated, that the dead all had the majority of their flesh left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hidden ContentThat's really the only way it makes sense, magic or not. Unless you think the Others are telekenetically keeping the bones in place or something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiemal Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I suspect that the nature of dragonbone, like dragonglass, makes it anathema to the power of the WW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Fauntleroy Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 People really over-estimate the effectiveness of Danys dragons. drogon is the biggest one and we have no notion that the others are big enough to ride. They could be, but I don't recall them being described as particularly huge like Balerion or the other conqueror dragons.Even if they are all the the size of a modern sedan, that's pretty tiny compared to the masses of Others and their hordes. It's not going to be an easy fight even with all three dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 There's no evidence the White Walkers have any power south of the wall. And before you say it, the wights that attacked Jeor and Jon were carryed south of the wall, not reanimated south of the wall. Furthermore, they only seem to be able to reanimate fresh kills as we've yet to see an fleshless wights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosetta Stone Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I suspect that the nature of dragonbone, like dragonglass, makes it anathema to the power of the WW.I think so too. They are opposite and natural enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dragons Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Do you think that they (White Walkers) are going reach to KL in season 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
