Creatures with two legs and wings – such as Daenerys’s “dragons” in the show – are instead known as wyverns.
By now, Daenerys Targaryen’s affinity with dragons is one of the best known facts in the Game of Thrones universe – but a fan theory now suggests the creatures aren’t actually dragons.
Reddit user 4h0y1m4p1r4t3 pointed out on the platform that, in most fantasy works, dragons are meant to have four legs and wings.
The mythical creatures controlled by Emilia Clarke’s character on the cult HBO show have two legs, meaning they would technically qualify as wyverns, not dragons.
