Mohenjo Daro Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I mean when he tried to save Jeor Mormont from the dead he burned his hand. Or Dany said after Viserys`s death that he wasn`t a true dragon...a true dragon can`t be burned. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styl7 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 A dragon cannot be burned yes... A real dragon.. Targaryens can be burned.. Many in history died by fire.. Dany is the only one who can't be burned just because D&D decided that. In the books she walked into the fire and gave birth to dragons..yes.. But she is not fireproof... No one is fireproof..only show Daenerys and real dragons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic. Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No Targaryens in the books are fire proof. The Dany fire proof thing is a show only plot device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlong the Fat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 In the book and show, Dany has some resistance to being burned. She hasn't been shown to be fireproof in either medium. It seems more like she has a power she can summon by unknown means at particular times to be resistant to fire. It's not like she touches fire routinely. An alternative interpretation is that she actually did burn and die in the fire when her dragons were born, and she is now a fire wight. Not much evidence for that. But it would be interesting if she and Jon shared that characteristic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robasp2 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Show Daenerys IS fireproof. Period. They can make ressurected Jon as fireproof. Its convenient now. Since he was ressurected by the lord of light (fire) But again, that Can never prove Jon as a Targeryan was fireproof since he was burnt.Only undead Jon can be. Also in such an inconsistent show they might just present Jon as always a fireproof Targeryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is walking out of a full inferno in Vaes Dothrak. In the books: funeral pyre was blood magic of Mirri Maz Duur - that's why Dany didn't burn (except for her hair) and dragons were born. Every other time she was affected by fire - she burnt. Although, like her great-grandfather she is highly resistant to high temperatures - sun, hot bath. In the show: Dany is totally 100% absolutely fireproof, even her hair and brows are resistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has had two exceptional circumstances in which she did not burn. In the books she has had one exceptional circumstance in which she did not burn. Furthermore, if "blood magic"--the fact that she burned Mirri Maz Dur in the same fire as herself--explains why she did not burn at the birth of her dragons, it could equally explain why she did not burn in Vaes Dothrak--she burned several Kahls in that fire. It's not as if, in either case, she was taught or knew a spell to work "blood magic." S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the house of the Undying they told her "Three fires you must light.. one for life, one for death, one to love" i think in this three fires she won't be burned. The fire for life was the birth of her Dragons, the fire for death was the death of the khals, and there is also the fire to love that hasn't happened yet. Maybe in the show she is not always fireproof too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow is the man Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 In the show she is fireproof but in the books she is shown to get burned and the only time we see her get flammed up is when she is in the furneral pyre and her dragons come out. Also in the books her hair burns even when her body didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightstar_ Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'd like to clear out this Targaryen-fireproof conundrum with a SSM dialogue : " Granny: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons? George RR Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold. Revanshe: So she won't be able to do it again? George RR Martin: Probably not. " I realize Show Dany probably actually is fireproof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikkel Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 For whatever (probably dumb) reason, show-Dany *is* fireproof. Targaryens as a whole has not been said to be fireproof, not even on the show. Dany concludes Viserys wasn't a "true dragon" for this reason, though he exhibited many classically Targaryen traits: Arrogance, belief in his own manifest destiny, cruelty to those he deemed beneath him etc. So Dany might conceivably think "true Targaryen == fireproof", but she'd be wrong.

ShadowKitteh Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say... no. Dany is because she's pure Targaryen. (Show AND Book Dany survived Drogo's funeral pyre while hatching baby dragons. One has hair afterwards. I'd say that's pretty fireproof.) Jon is half Dragon, half Wolf. He is NOT fireproof. Which is why he has a scarred hand from saving Lord Commander Mormont from the wight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
