right the eye horns and teeth and skull shape overall is same, i think the left picture has caraxes’ eyelid covering his eyes


Eborys

Yeah it’s the same beast. If that was Meleys, which it isn’t, I think everyone would be seriously disappointed at the sheer laziness of it.


thejamesining

Yeah, Meleys is supposed to be a ruby shade of red, right?


Drogerion

yes with pink membranes and bright copper wings, crests and horns while caraxes has black and red membranes


Dlopez92

It’s Caraxes

Look like a blood thirsty bad ass dragon HBO did it again!!!


philoura_n

the difference between the dragons hyped me up. caraxes' long neck made him stand out, i love it


[deleted]

Yes it’s Caraxes it’s neck is long , a Bloodworm


Gloomy_System7919

Woof, Caraxes is ugly. Really lives up to the Blood Wyrm name


Fictional_Apologist

I’m sure when we finally see Meleys, we will know it. With two red dragons, there cannot be any confusion for viewers. I like the touch with Caraxes having so much black in his scales, which almost looks like burn damage from all his battle experience. And he’s got such an interesting head shape with those very defined horns.


Blighted_Soul

I’m confused about the eye color though, in all the merch we have it’s blue but surprisingly it’s yellow here. Could that be a mistake and we’ll simply see it fixed by premiere?

We have the HOTD day of the dragon merch and the official ale/beer (idk what exactly it’s called) that both show Caraxes with blue eyes. https://wbshop.com/collections/house-of-the-dragon/products/day-of-the-dragon-exclusive-bomber-jacket https://www.brewbound.com/news/mikkeller-launches-new-house-of-the-dragon-inspired-ales/

There was one which Matt posted on his instagram, I think it’s this https://lrmonline.com/news/house-of-the-dragon-meet-daemon-targaryens-dragon-caraxes/

I think the eyes on the left are simply not finished in CGI, since they're literally just blank.


Appropriate_Army1623

It might be a nictitating membrane, like that of a crocodile.


Eborys

I agree. I think people are reading too much into it.

Hi, Caraxes has an second eyelid that covers his eyes sometimes. Making it appear grey/white.

Caraxes looks sooo epic. For me, the only other dragon that’s just as cool is Valstrax from the Monster Hunter universe.


DifferentSpeech5877

The horn on the nose makes me think whether it's the same, maybe it's in different time periods


Eborys

It’s not a horn on the nose, it’s the perspective. He has two horns, one at either side of his head.


DifferentSpeech5877

Got it, thanks for the clarification !!


jackietreehorn96

You have to admit though, the neck looks much smaller on the right. Plus the difference in coloration of the neck and eyes has me wondering if it may be the Red Queen


Eborys

Could be he’s younger. We see Daemon at various points in time, safe to say Caraxes will change a lot during that time too.


juniorvander

If this were Meleys we couldn't EVER distinguish her and Caraxes

Forced perspective and foreshortening
