George R.R. Martin about House Targaryen sigil
Taking about his frustration over the wrong portrayal of the House Targaryen sigil, George R.R. Martin spoke a lot in his recent blog post.
Addressing the sigil with a three-headed dragon, the writer stated that he wanted his dragons to be as real as a living creature could be when it comes to one's imagination.
He further added that he had designed his creatures with a lot of things in mind, and also with care.
While coming to the wrong details in both the series, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, Martin stated, “They have two legs (not four, never four) and two wings.”
He stressed the fact that his dragons’ wings are their “forelegs,” while also mentioning that the animals who lived on Earth never had six limbs. While giving proper examples, Martin mentioned birds, bats, and even the flying dinosaurs.
The writer also maintained the fact that in his book both four-legged dragons and two-legged wyverns exist, however, the sigil only has the two-legged creature.
Martin then also came forth to explain that Game of Thrones did not have the correct two-legged dragon sigil, till almost the fifth season. However, he added that when Dany’s fleet was introduced, the sigils started showing four-legged dragons.
George R.R. Martin further went on to express his frustration as the wrong sigil could now even be seen on his newly published book covers.
