Do the Dragons know Jon is a Targaryen?
Even Rhaegal the Dragon knew. And now, Jon Snow finally knows too: He is the son of Rheagar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark — which means he’s a trueborn Targaryen, and not a bastard. Samwell Tarly revealed this information to the King of the North during the first episode of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones.
Do the Dragons like Jon because he’s a Targaryen?
The obvious explanation is that Jon Snow is a Targaryen. In fact we learn for sure in this episode that hes a legitimate Targaryen (as everyone knows, Dragons are all about the sanctity of marriage). And that may be the case. A better explanation is that he harbored no hostility for Daenerys.
Are targaryens the only ones who can ride dragons?
Targaryens, who have always been magically connected with dragons, are the only people able to ride a dragon. In a behind-the-scenes featurette for the first episode of the season, showrunner David Benioff makes that perfectly clear. “No one’s ever ridden a dragon except for Dany,” he says.
Why can Jon Snow touch a dragon?
If you’re wondering why Rhaegal allows Jon to ride him in the first place, it’s because the former King in the North has Targaryen blood flowing through his veins — his mother is Lyanna Stark and his father is Rhaegar Targaryen. (Something Sam finally fills Jon in about in the premiere, FYI.)
How did Rhaegar Targaryen die in Game of Thrones?
Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was slain by Lord Robert Baratheon during the battle of The Trident. Rhaegar was killed at a fork in the river from a swing by Robert’s warhammer, smashing the rubies from Rhaegar’s armor with his killing stroke (this led to the site becoming known as the Ruby Ford).

Is the Night King a Targaryen?
The Night King isn’t a Targaryen, because there was no such thing. The dragon’s third head is the Night King. But just because all Targaryens are potential dragon riders does not mean that all potential dragon riders are Targaryens. Chances are higher that the Night King is a Stark.
