Vhagar's end comes in a pivotal battle near Harrenhal, above the God's Eye lake. In the book, Aemond on Vhagar faces off against Daemon Targaryen on his dragon Caraxes.

Aemond and Daemon's battle above the God's Eye

Daemon waits 13 days before Aemond finally arrives, and Aemond chains himself to his dragon. In the battle that follows, Caraxes seizes Vhagar by the neck and the two dragons tear into each other violently. Meanwhile, Daemon tries to kill Aemond with his sword. The clash sends both dragons plummeting into the water below.

The Red Dragon and the Gold raised the stakes

House of the Dragon season 2 ramped up the excitement with the episode The Red Dragon and the Gold, where Aemond and Rhaenys clashed on their dragons, Vhagar and Meleys. After that episode, we were curious about Aegon's fate and wondering when and how Vhagar meets her end. The showdown between the greens and the blacks was heating up.
