Dragons have inspired awe and wonder since the beginning of human imagination. Most recently, these fire-spitting flying creatures — in modern western culture at least — have come alive in "Game of Thrones" and its new spinoff, "House of the Dragon."
These winged beasts are particularly important in the new series. Set 200 years before "Game of Thrones," the series follows the Targaryen family who rules Westeros with the help of their dragons.
