The 6 ways to kill a dragon in ‘Game of Thrones’

One of the biggest threats to Cersei right now is Daenerys Targaryen, who has a large army and dragons. Dragons!

Unfortunately for Cersei, there's not much known about how to kill the magical, violent, and long-dead creatures.

But in the second episode of season seven, Qyburn (who seems to serve every position on the Queen's council now), shows Cersei an invention that might work.

That weapon is put into action later on in episode four, "The Spoils of War." Bronn, fighting for the Lannisters, shoots Drogon with it. Although the dragon falls, he does not die.

And now, in an unfortunate turn of events, the Night King has made himself a zombie dragon. He successfully took down Viserion with his spear, and brought him back to "life" at the end of episode six.

Spears (with a lot of force)

Maybe. Possibly. In season seven episode four, "The Spoils of War," Bronn hits Drogon with the weapon. Drogon falls, but he doesn't die, and he's not terribly wounded. In theUrrax and Serwyn of the Mirror Shield

Other dragons

The Dance of the Dragons was a civil war between two Targaryens fighting for the Iron Throne about 170 years before the events of "Game of Thrones." It was the only major war that had dragons fighting on both sides. Most dragons were killed during the war, killing each other.

After Aegon III (who hated dragons) defeated his half-sister, Rhaenyra, he put the remaining dragons in chains. They went extinct within a few years.

It's possible, but only if someone can find a way to pit Dany's dragons against each other . . .

Dragonbinder

Dragonbinder, also known as the hellhorn, is a large dragon horn that is supposed to control dragons. In the books, Euron Greyjoy has Dragonbinder.

If the writers introduce Dragonbinder to the series, it could help someone make Dany's dragons turn on each other. But since it hasn't been introduced yet in the show, Dragonbinder probably won't make it into the series.

The Doom of Valyria

All of Valryia was wiped out in a volcanic eruption nearly four hundred years, before the War of the Five Kings (aka: the events of the show). The Targaryens were the only surviving noble family from Valyria.

Definitely not. It is impossible to make volcanoes show up in Westeros simply to destroy dragons.

Imprisonment

The maesters at The Citadel in Oldtown (where Samwell Tarly is training) aren't huge fans of magic. Actually, they hate it, and that's one of the reasons why Qyburn doesn't have his chains anymore: The Citadel didn't approve of his magic-friendly experiments.

Yes, but not likely. This process took years. But there is a chance that Cersei and Qyburn (or another enemy) could capture any or all of Dany's dragons and find a way to weaken them. Outside of Qyburn, there's not a big chance that the maesters would get involved.

Ice Spear

The Night King successfully, and quite easily, takes down Dany's dragon Viserion with his spear, which appears to be made of ice. When Viserion is hit, blood gushes out and he falls into the frozen lake.

almost seems as if the Night King had this planned, since he immediately orders his army to pull Viserion's body out of the lake. And then he brings him back to what we will call "life," probably as an ice dragon, completely under his control.
