She becomes the heir of the Targaryen dynasty after her brother's murder and plans to reclaim the Iron Throne herself, seeing it as her birthright. A pregnant Daenerys loses her husband and child, but blood magic allows Daenerys to hatch three of her dragon eggs.
After Rhaego's father, Drogo, becomes sick from an infected wound, the sorceress Mirri Maz Duur saves Drogo's life by using blood magic. One of the effects of that magic is that Rhaego dies right before birth. According to Mirri Maz Duur, he was inhuman, hideously deformed and covered in dragon-like scales.
The birth of Dany's dragons is one of the most significant events in the story. Dragons were extinct from the world for over a century before Daenerys hatched her petrified eggs, giving life to Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion, and earning her moniker as the Mother of Dragons.
Now, George R.R. Martin's The Winds of Winter — the sixth book in the series A Song of Ice and Fire — might (and should) answer the question of whether Daenerys can have children. In a vision, Dany sees Khal Drogo and their son. In Season 1, Daenerys married Khal Drogo and became pregnant with their son, Rhaego.
Where Did Daenerys' Dragon Eggs Come From? Even if it isn't Daenerys' dragon egg in House of the Dragon, season 1, episode 2 does come close to it. It reveals that the egg came from a dragon called Dreamfyre, which is likely the one who produced Daenerys' dragon eggs as well.
Targaryen tradition
During the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen, it became truly customary to place a dragon's egg in the cradle of a newborn child. It was considered a sign that the child was a true Targaryen if the egg placed within his cradle hatched.
If this is true, then Daenerys's dragons—Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion—were descended from Dreamfyre, who is the only adult female dragon noted in the book to have laid eggs. She died during the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of Dragons.
Weiss. Unfortunately, this did not happen, and fans created alternative endings. This was until the studio released a production documentary on YouTube. It showed some deleted scenes from the show's finale, and one such shot was that of Daenerys Targaryen with a baby bump.
What has Daenerys said about her inability to have children? Dany saw Mirri's prophecy as a curse, and believes she will never be able to give birth to human babies. Instead, she considers her dragons to be her children. When warlocks of Qarth steal her dragons, Jorah tries to convince her to leave them behind.
In George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Daenerys' son Rhaego is stillborn after she enters the tent in which Mirri Maz Duur is performing a blood magic ritual on Khal Drogo. The witch then implies to Dany that she is infertile after she discovers that Drogo has been left in a catatonic state.
Despite being saved by Daenerys from being raped by the tribe's warriors, however, the priestess betrays her and the magic ritual results in Daenerys's unborn child being stillborn and leaves Drogo in a catatonic state. Because Drogo will never recover, Daenerys smothers him with a pillow.
Since then, Daenerys took it as gospel that she could not bear children – and, indeed, it did seem to be the case. Her unprotected sex with Daario Naharis has had zero results and, in the book, at least, she suffered what appeared to be a miscarriage.
The last dragon belonging to House Targaryen died young in 153 AC, during the later part of the reign of King Aegon III, who was called the Dragonbane. Her death marked the extinction of dragons in Westeros and beyond, until Daenerys Targaryen managed to hatch three dragons around a century and a half later.
Prosthetic designer confirms: the baby was deformed
“When the babe at last came forth, she proved indeed a monster: a stillborn girl, twisted and malformed, with a hole in her chest where her heart should have been and a stubby, scaled tail.
Some dragon-like babies are born after incredibly complicated and anger-induced births, so it's possible that the fire of the dragon being released within both Rhaenyra and Syrax during the birth somehow impacted her daughter's physical characteristics.
Daenerys Targaryen about her unborn son. Rhaego was the son of Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen. According to a Dothraki prophecy, he would have been the Stallion Who Mounts the World. He was stillborn after being involved in a blood magic ritual.
Jacaerys, Rhaenyra's eldest son, and his two younger brothers have spent their short lives surrounded by whispers that their real father was Ser Harwin Strong.
King Aerys II Targaryen
However, Aerys II's youngest children claimed the Iron Throne as King Viserys III Targaryen and later Queen Daenerys I Targaryen. In the television series Game of Thrones, the Targaryen dynasty ends with Daenerys and her nephew, Rhaegar's youngest son Aegon, who was raised as Jon Snow.
Daenerys survived the flames when her dragons were born thanks to a mysterious, magical mix of Mirri Maz Duur, sacrifice, and dragon eggs. Yet while Thrones decided to make Daenerys completely immune to fire to explain this experience, it's more of a onetime thing in the books.
Pregnant during season one and season six
The producers decided to use a body double, while also dressing Headey in long flowing dresses and robes to hide the pregnancy. “We just hid the pregnancy,” Headey said to Vulture in 2013.
It was actually the last episode of Season 7 when Daenerys Targaryen (Clarke) and Jon Snow (Harington) finally hooked up after a season of sexual tension. In fact, they hadn't even met yet back on Season 6. The Season 7 sex scene, which appears near the end of last season's finale, is significant for several reasons.
Daenerys was pregnant in an alternate ending of season 8, but the scene got discarded as an explanation was missing and little is known about it because it was never released.
Later, while Daenerys is staying at Qarth, she teaches Drogon to breathe fire for the first time, roasting a small piece of meat, which he then eats. Doreah plays with him but Daenerys tells her to let him sleep, telling Doreah that Drogon loves her.
It gives us a decent idea of what Drogon did with Dany's body after he melted the Iron Throne and flew away from King's Landing. As theorised by Samwell Tarly in the finale, the dragon flew her to Volantis, where she'd grown up in exile after the death of her father, and cremated her body in line with family tradition.
Zalla was the three-year-old daughter of a goatherd from Meereen before she was killed by Daenerys Targaryen's largest dragon, Drogon.
