House of the Dragon: How Big Is Tessarion?

House of the Dragon has managed to keep up the anticipation of gradually adding new characters for two seasons now — and currently, fans are eagerly waiting for another iconic duo. Prince Daeron Targaryen, King Viserys and Queen Alicent’s fourth child, and his dragon Tessarion are expected to join Dance of the Dragons.

So far, little to none has been said about the upcoming scaly arrival, so we’re here to tell you everything you need to know about Tessarion: her size, color, and power.

What Makes Tessarion So Special?

Like most other Targaryen dragons, Prince Daeron’s Tessarion also has a nickname: she’s called the Blue Queen for her marvelous cobalt scales and blue hue. She has copper features that compliment her primary colors, making her one of the most beautiful dragons during the Dance. But she’s got way more than just stunning looks.

Tessarion is also the youngest dragon of fighting age Team Green has, and fighting she does. Unlike massive and slower beasts like Vhagar and Vermithor, Tessarion is incredibly nimble and agile in the air, allowing her to effectively deal with clumsier targets and zoom around them. She’s quite the opposite of her counterparts.

How Big Is Tessarion?

As previously stated, Daeron’s dragon is the youngest of the bunch: give or take of few, she should be just around 15 years old by the time Tessarion and her rider finally join the Greens. She only recently took to the air with Daeron, too, and not only that, but she’s known for her little size. Based on different estimations, Tessarion should definitely be smaller than Sunfyre and maybe even Arrax.

But while she can be considered properly tiny next to behemoths like Vhagar and Vermithor (or any other dragon, really), she totally makes up for her size with her unmatched maneuverability. During the upcoming Battle on the Honeywine, Daeron and Tessarion will single-handedly turn the tides, highlighting their power duo’s efficiency.

Don’t know about you, but we’re suckers for the smaller and nimbler dragons as they’re just a delight to watch in the air, so we’re all the more excited to finally see Tessarion — especially, on the Honeywine. Here’s to hoping it’ll come around soon!
