Come not between a dragon and his wrath.
Guys I’m not even gonna lie to you but I stared at this photoset and for a moment I was like “it’s weird that they only ever have animated or CGI dragons and they don’t use real ones”
The real ones tend to eat the other actors, that gets expensive.
not to mention the cost of convincing it to leave it’s cave has to be greater than it’s hoard value.
But yeah, between the hoard, the actors and the new living space, dragons are too expensive to film unless you get lucky.
