Exclusive Sneak Peek: House of the Dragon Season 2 Unleashes Epic Dragon-Killing Weapons!
Prepare for an intensified battle in House of the Dragon Season 2 as the Targaryens unveil their formidable arsenal to combat the fearsome dragons
Summary
House of the Dragon season 2 will feature the return of the dragon-killing scorpions, providing insight into the tactics House Targaryen will use in their war.
In Game of Thrones, Euron Greyjoy had used the scorpion weapons to slay one of Daenerys Targaryen's dragons. Although the events occurred over a century prior to Daenerys' era, the existence of several dragons in the upcoming season provides validation for the utilization of these weapons.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for House of the Dragon season 2! The fearsome dragon-killing scorpions from Game of Thrones are making a comeback in House of the Dragon season 2. In a chaotic Westeros torn by civil war, House of the Dragon will pit the rival factions, the Blacks and the Greens, against each other. As both sides possess formidable dragons and vie for the coveted Iron Throne, they must dismantle the opposing dragons to secure their ultimate victory.
Twitter user UnBoxPHD has managed to capture some intriguing behind-the-scenes photographs from House of the Dragon season 2, shedding light on the strategic plans of one faction within House Targaryen.
House Of The Dragon Season 2 Will Be Crueler
: The scorpion weapons, previously employed by Euron Greyjoy to slay one of Daenerys Targaryen's dragons in Game of Thrones, are visible in the set photos. Their utilization in this context is logical, considering the abundance of dragons, although it should be noted that these events transpire more than a century prior to the emergence of Daenerys and her offspring.
If season 1 of House of the Dragon was already dark, season 2 promises to unleash an even greater brutality. The devastating conclusion of House of the Dragon season 1 leaves both the Blacks and the Greens with no room for redemption. The merciless demise of Lucerys Velaryon at the merciless hands of Aemond Targaryen has shattered any restraint within Rhaenyra. With vengeance burning in their hearts, the Blacks march forward into inevitable war, bolstered by a formidable army of dragons.
Aemond's realization of his lack of control over the man-eating monster, resulting in Lucerys' unintentional death, raises concerns for the Greens about the reliability and uncontrollable nature of dragons. This may explain their inclination towards using scorpions. Additionally, Daemon's search for more dragons in House of the Dragon season 2 further increases the possibility of an unstoppable army if combined with three dragons. However, the conflict between the Targaryens will not only affect them but will also cause turmoil among the people of Westeros. With Winter approaching and a looming prophecy, Rhaenyra should consider allowing the smallfolk to prepare for the impending storms. Unfortunately, dragon warfare will likely lead to destruction and pillaging, making the need for scorpions in House of the Dragon season 2 all the more crucial.
