In House of the Dragon, the reptiles are as important as the humans. Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) can duke it out all they want, but they’ll never be as rapacious and feral as their dragons. The beasts are technically tamed, but domesticity has its limits. As we saw in Episode 10, these flying monsters can do whatever they want. That’s the advantage of being at the top of the food chain.
