''. "We did a lot of redesign, made them more spiky, even in the baby state. It was a little bit of a relaunch, but we still kept it believable for the audience."
The key to grounding these mythical creatures, which do not exist in real life, was to give Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion real-world animal counterparts the audience could identify with. "The dragons were always in close contact with the actors," says Martin. "And we were shooting outside on real locations. So everything is real and not meant to be a fantasy. We wanted to transfer that."
Studying bird and bat anatomies influenced the dragons' wingspan design. The PXO team even dissected a supermarket chicken to get a sense of how the wings could move.
Observing geese on the ground playing with their own wings was later emulated when the dragons were shown sitting down at ease. Color patterns were gleaned from frogs and cheetahs, while crocodiles, lizards, and other reptiles were used for skin structure.
Martin's team met with the show's VFX Supervisor Joe Bauer at the start of each season to discuss new design elements, as the dragons were maturing and growing.
For example, they became more guard dog-like as they grew into their roles as Dany's guards. When they got angry or wanted to threaten the enemy, gills popped out of their necks. "That idea came from the fruit lizard, which does exactly the same thing, just in a different direction," Martin told ''
