While I’m talking asoiaf dragons, Shrykos’ (Prince Jaehaerys’ she-dragon) name seems to have been heavily inspired by the Shrykes, the green-scaled lizard-men of far eastern Essos (literally only one letter of difference). Which also tracks with the one scene we have where Jaehaerys appears (no, I’m not counting his death-scene), which consists of Viserys telling him and his siblings a fictional tale about Jaehaerys I battling fantastical creatures beyond the wall. I therefore conclude that she likely had green-scales as her base-colour. As well as that Jaehaerys was plugged into all kinds of tales and legends about even far-away places.

#asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #jaehaerys targaryen #shrykos #not based on anything I'd make her secondary coloration gold #bc the bronze combo is already taken by vhagar and rhaegal and silver by moondancer and maelor's and aegon V's eggs #ok pearl for moondancer but that's really similar #plus it's a nice link to Sunfyre and Aegon #Morghul likewise gets no description but by name he's gotta be an edgelord #maybe a reversal of Morning's colour scheme...primarily black with pink or dark purple...#going by their names they're kind of thematic opposites...#back to Shrykos I'd also probably make the shade of green one of the darker yet still vibrant ones #smaragd or phthalo...#bc Moondancer has pale green on lockdown and show Vermax olive
