Description

Morghul was a young dragon bound to but never ridden by Princess Jaehaera Targaryen. During the Dance of the Dragons, Rhaenyra Targaryen and her blacks took King's Landing from Aegon II Targaryen and his greens. Morghul's owner, Princess Jaehaera Targaryen, was successfullly spirited away from the capital, however.

During Rhaenyra's rule over King's Landing, Morgul resided in the Dragonpit alongside Dreamfyre, Tyraxes, Shrykos, and Seasmoke (before he fled the city with his rider, Ser Addam Velaryon). As Rhaenyra's relationship with the citizens of the city worsened over time and led to riots, a one-handed prophet known as the Shepherd incited the mob to attack the dragons in the Dragonpit. Despite being heavily chained, Morgul managed to kill many with its fire. However, the 'Burning Knight', a large man in heavy armor, is credited with killing Morgul by thrusting his spear through the dragon's eye while being burned by its flames. Morgul died without ever having been ridden.
