RadSam Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 In ADwD, there are a couple of times when he sees something large fly overhead with a sounds of leathery wings. (I don't have the book with me to look up the passages, but would be great if someone could supply them!) Could it have been Drogon? We know that he wasn't locked up with the other two.It would just be kind of exciting, but kind of sad, to think that Tyrion had already encountered a dragon but didn't know it.It was just one of those little things from the book that got me curious! I'd love to know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIGR Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I had the same thought when reading it. So I think you could be right ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carcetti Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 “This was the most beautiful city on the river, and the richest,” said Yandry. “Chroyane, thefestival city.” Too rich, thought Tyrion, too beautiful. It is never wise to tempt the dragons. The drowned citywas all around them. A half-seen shape flapped by overhead, pale leathery wings beating at the fog. Thedwarf craned his head around to get a better look, but the thing was gone as suddenly as it hadappeared.This was on the shy maid, right before the palace of love and the stone men.

Logodnica Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 This was on the shy maid, right before the palace of love and the stone men.Which is why I don't think he saw Drogon. Look at the map and follow the Ryone north until you reach this place. mereen, which is the area where Drogon is flying around is hundreds of leagues south east. Too far for even Drogon to be flying on his jaunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceGal Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ooh interesting.. I too wondered what the creature with "pale leathery wings" was, but forgot about it soon after.However, isn't Drogon supposed to be black? Pretty certain he wouldn't be described as having pale wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Reek Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Wow did not even realise that while reading, Other than a dragon what else could it have been... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks Among Us Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yes, I remember that bit, I thought it was a dragon but didn't think of it as being Drogon.Perhaps it's the 'stone dragon' that Mel keeps talking about lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSouthEastWesteros Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 CrackpotMaybe someone else has a dragon/s..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toccs Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Wow did not even realise that while reading, Other than a dragon what else could it have been...Maybe a bat. I think that if Drogon was ranging as far as the Rhoyne, there would have been talk amongst the river traders and in Volantis and Pentos about the wild dragon.

Logodnica Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Wow did not even realise that while reading, Other than a dragon what else could it have been...An actual bat. They are in a miserable foggy place. Bats can have pale, leathery wings. Only Viserion has pale wings, and he was locked up by Dany.Drogo's wings are not pale. ALSO, the Chroyane is leagues north of Volantis, and Mereen is so far south and east of the Chroyane that the map in the book puts it on a differnt page than Chroyane. Also Drogo returns to his lair in the city every evening, so he can't wander around a lot during the day. And even his dragon lair on the Dothraki Sea is not so far away from Mereen that it implies he would range so far from the city as to reach the Chroyane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I wonder if there will be other mythical animals making a return..In TWOW forum I noticed that: there are actually krakens near the Basilisk Isles IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fender Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's a Griffin. There has to be a reason why this was chosen as House Connington's sigil; they had to exist at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Reek Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 ^^ :agree: We've seen direwolves and dragons, and krakens and unicorns exist in the story, though we have no first hand evidence..yet!Why not gryphons as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profion Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I think it could only be a Dragon, because if was a Bat, Tyrion would have recognized, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vuron Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 If he heard leathery wings than it must be some big ass bat. I've had a bat fly right into me and never heard a sound. I see bats every night in the summer and never hear them.I, also, don't think it can be Drogon due to the distance but I could be wrong.I'll vote for the griffin because they're cool.

barrythebold Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 In that same chapter, don't we come across two statues of a queen and king, but the king's statue is long missing?possible foreshadowing on how the upcoming Dance of the Dragons will end?

There has to be a reason why this was chosen as House Connington's sigil; they had to exist at some point.Not necessarily, plenty of noble Houses in real life used Griffins as their sigil, doesn't mean they were once real. Westeros has it's myths as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
