About
She had been a green female. She was sickly, small, misshapen and stunted, with withered wings. Her name is not known.
Although she was sickly she did lay a clutch of five eggs,[5] which never hatched. [6] It is not known if the eggs had been fertilized by a male dragon.
What happened to her clutch of five eggs is unknown. It may be that they were used by the Targaryens in some of their futile later attempts to hatch dragons.
The last two hatchlings born on Dragonstone
The last dragon may have been one of two living Targaryen dragons at some point. When Tyrion Lannister went to view the nineteen dragon skulls stored in a dank cellar in King's Landing he recalls seeing a matched pair of skulls, no bigger than mastiff’s skulls, and oddly misshapen, all that remained of the last two hatchlings born on Dragonstone. [7] He thinks to himself that they were the last of the Targaryen dragons, perhaps the last dragons anywhere, and they had not lived very long.
