Balerion – Black Terror
Known as the Black Terror, this gigantic dragon was ridden by Aegon the Conqueror, and with it he was able to take control of the Seven Kingdoms. Viserys Targaryen was the last human to ride on his back before he died. It is said that he was so big that his shadow could cover an entire city when he flew over it.
