It won't just be the Greens against the Blacks. Season 2 of House of the Dragon will pit different dragons against each other, like in the final scene of season 1. So what will be the new winged creatures that will be introduced? Spoiler alert!

While we have lost Arrax, cut up by Vhagar and Aemond, Sunfyre arrives in the trailer for season 2. From its French name Feux-du-Soleyl, the animal will be in the Green camp and we discover it in the video below via some brief glimpses, notably in the Dragonpit of King's Landing (above).

“This dragon was described very specifically in the book as the most beautiful dragon that ever lived”, explains showrunner Ryan Condal in EW. “I think it was incumbent upon us to try to meet that challenge, but do it in a way that didn't seem to create a dragon from a different series – a “fantasy dragon”, for lack of a better term. Sunfyre therefore had to exist as being a notch above beautiful, so that it could be distinctly recognized in a world that has 17 other dragons…”

Another spitter returns at the end of the Greens trailer. A familiar creature since it is Seasmoke. Seasmoke was ridden by Ser Laenor Velaryon (John MacMillan), son of Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) and Rhaenyra's first husband. The heir of House Valeryon had faked his death to live in the Free Cities with his lover. We met Seasmoke in the Stepstones in season 1. “Ihe got older, so he grew up and matured a little.” confirms the showrunner. In the book Fire & BloodSeasmoke holds a special place…

Season 2 of House of the Dragon will be available to watch from June 16 on Max and in France, via the Prime Video Warner Pass.
