Writer and creator of the series, George R. R. Martin recently revealed some major plot details about the upcoming prequel series of Game of Thrones. As per CBR, George R.R. Martin while on the podcast The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of revealed that the series would have more than 10 dragons. Martin said, " I've always thought this was a cool story, it's one I like, so I'm looking forward to seeing it come alive on screen... And of course, I'm looking forward to the dragons! Obviously, I love the dragons."
He added "We had three of them in Game of Thrones but now we got like 17 of them. And hopefully, they'll each have their own personalities, they'll be instantly recognizable when you see them, the colours and all of that because the dragons do have personalities in the books, and it'll be great to see that come alive. And the dragon riders. That's all pretty cool."
