The extinction of the Targaryen dragons marked the beginning of the end for their reign over Westeros. For 150 years, these majestic creatures were the ultimate symbol of Targaryen power, but their downfall began with the catastrophic civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. In this bloody conflict, nearly all the Targaryen dragons were slaughtered in fierce battles, leaving only four survivors. These last dragons—too few and too weakened—eventually disappeared, likely dying of old age, as they were never seen again in Westeros or Essos. With their dragons gone, the Targaryens' once-unassailable dominance crumbled, paving the way for Robert Baratheon's rebellion and the overthrow of the ‘Mad King’ Aerys II. The Targaryen legacy seemed lost until Daenerys miraculously hatched three petrified dragon eggs, reviving the ancient power of her house after 148 years of extinction. The dragons had returned, but at a great cost—their numbers and strength were forever diminished.
