How did the Night King kill Viserion?

Not long after they arrive, however, the Night King is given an ice spear by another White Walker, and then hurls it at Viserion. The spear pierces the dragon’s neck, causing blood and fire to rupture from the fatal wound.

Was the Night King waiting for Daenerys?

Simply put, the Night King was prepared for battle. The Night King’s entire plan revolved around waiting for Daenerys and her dragons to arrive – Viserion being the target. Once Dany’s dragon was within shot, game over.

Why is drogon so much bigger?

Drogon is certainly the largest of the three because he wasn’t confined to the vaults in Meereen like the other two were. Drogon flew from Meereen and was able to find food and range over 100s of miles whereas the other two probably had enough food to sustain them but not enough for them to properly grow.

Why is the Night King immune to Dragonfire?

What’s more likely is that the Night King’s magic is so powerful – and so connected to the cold – that it is able to withstand fire. This would also explain why he can only be killed by Valyrian steel – this fire magic is the only thing that can destroy the ice magic that the Night King possesses.

Does Viserion become a White Walker?

In the final scene of the epic, nearly 90-minute-long “Game of Thrones” season finale, we finally see what has become of Viserion. The Night King killed Viserion in last week’s episode of “Game of Thrones” and turned the dragon into a White Walker or wight.

What caused the White Walkers to return?

In Season 6, we learned that the Children of the Forest actually created the White Walkers as a weapon to fight against the humans, piercing his heart with dragon glass at a weirwood tree. The White Walkers were pushed back after a figure called the Last Hero defeated them, sending them back north.

Is Rhaegal bigger than Viserion?

In the third novel, Rhaegal has grown to the size of a small dog, like Viserion, a bit smaller than Drogon.

Why can’t the Night King be killed by fire?

Because he is magical and powerful. Just like ice and cold do not kill him, fire doesn’t either. Only a mix of ice and fire could kill him i.e. dragonglass (also called “frozen fire”), or Valyrian steel (which is supposed to be made of magical spells alongside dragonfire).

Why did the Night King want to kill Viserion?

He envisioned himself killing Viserion like an actor playing a role. He followed his stage direction. It was as though he had seen himself kill Viserion in a vision, then commenced to do the actual deed. From the Night King’s point of view, he didn’t care if it were Drogon, Viserion or Rhaegal. He wanted a dragon.

Why didn’t the Night King kill Drogon first?

The ice spear was thrown with a tremendous amount of force. But maybe killing Drogon was a stretch. He’s a bigger dragon, and looks to be more armored as well. Maybe the Night King wasn’t sure that it’d kill Drogon, and therefore he focused on the smaller, weaker dragons first. 2. Drogon was on the ground.

Could Drogon beat Viserion with a spear?

Even if he were to be hit in the same fashion as Viserion, he wouldn’t hit the ground with such an impact, thus not knocking him out or killing him on impact. This may give Drogon (or Danaerys) the time to deal with the spear. There is another thing to consider here. The spear hit Viserion under the wing.

Was the Night King trying to kill Rhaegal?

The Night King wasn’t trying to kill one dragon, he was trying to kill multiple dragons. He obviously did not stop at killing one. Though we didn’t see him throw a third spear, nor target Rhaegal specifically, it seems fair to assume that he was trying to kill all the dragons.
