About this converter
Show dragons grow fast while the book stays small. The novel gives Drogon a 20 ft wingspan, about 6.1 m, in the wild. The show starts at 3 ft long in season 3, about 0.91 m. Season 5 puts Drogon near 40 ft long, about 12.19 m. Season 6 doubles him to 80 ft, about 24.38 m, with Rhaegal and Viserion near 70 ft, about 21.34 m each. Season 7 VFX spans near 200 ft, about 60.96 m, with a 747 comparison near 210 ft of wingspan. Season 8 supervision states 125 ft long, about 38.1 m, while a later HBO video places Drogon at 50 to 60 m and Vhagar at 150 m. One Vhagar equals about four season 8 Drogons at the 125 ft figure.
How to use it
Pick two dragons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Vhagar against Drogon S5 to see how many young dragons one old queen matches.
Length and wingspan are different measures, and rows pin which one in context. Sibling 70 ft figures are reported comparisons flagged per row. The 210 ft 747 proxy and the 50 to 60 m video figure are estimates flagged as such. Pixomondo 125 ft and HBO video 50 to 60 m disagree on season 8, so both rows stay with the conflict noted. Balerion, Meraxes and book Vhagar have no official meters and stay out.
