Smith is in awe of his majestic dragon, explaining how his beast connects with his character. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, he talked about his own character being really volatile in nature. As the popular Westerosi saying goes, “Every time a Targaryen is born, the Gods flip a coin.” But for Daemon, Smith says, “It hasn’t quite hit the ground yet. And until it’s final doom, [we won’t] find out which side he’s on.”
Smith describes his dragon as “a very grumpy, tough, surly sort.” Caraxes is constantly annoyed, but Daemon loves that about him. “He’s like a huge rabid dog, in many ways, who only calms and soothes around Daemon,” Smith says. “He’s almost an untrainable dragon in many respects.”
In many ways, Caraxes represents Daemon’s personality, and his relationship with his brother, Viserys. Are you excited to see Caraxes and Daemon in House of The Dragon? Talk to us in the comments below!
