Description

Grey Ghost was the name given by the smallfolk of Dragonstone to a wild dragon living on the island during the Dance of the Dragons. Grey Ghost was pale grey-white, the color of morning mist. He was a notably shy dragon who avoided men and their works for years at a time, which gave it his name.

Grey Ghost preferred to feed on fish and was often glimpsed flying low over the narrow sea, snatching prey from the waters. He made his lair in a smoking vent high on the eastern side of the Dragonmont. He was never claimed nor ridden by any man, and was one the three wild dragons with Sheepstealer and the Cannibal.

During the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon searched for new dragonriders to aid his faction in the fight against their opponents. Among those who attempted to find the Grey Ghost, a particularly elusive dragon, were some individuals known as dragonseeds. Alyn of Hull was one such person who searched for the Grey Ghost before ultimately failing to claim another dragon, Sheepstealer.

At some point in the year 130 AC, the crew of a ship called Nessaria witnessed a battle in the sky above Dragonmont between Grey Ghost and another dragon. Unfortunately, Grey Ghost was killed in the struggle. Ser Robert Quince, upon hearing of Grey Ghost's demise, mistakenly believed that the notorious dragon known as the Cannibal was responsible. However, it was actually Sunfyre who defeated and partially consumed Grey Ghost upon returning to Dragonstone.
