Books

The last dragon belonging to House Targaryen died young during the reign of King Aegon III, [3] who was called the Dragonbane. [4] Her death marked the extinction of dragons in Westeros and beyond - until Daenerys Targaryen managed to hatch three dragons around a century and a half later.

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.

Quotes

"The last dragon died over a century ago, lad." [8]

- Gerion Lannister, to a young Tyrion Lannister
