It’s possible that Daenerys Targaryen was gobbled up by her dragon, Drogon, at the end ofGame of Thrones.
That’s according to a forensic expert from University College London who claims that Dany’s last surviving dragon could have eaten her after carrying her away from King’s Landing where she met her end.
'Some speculate that Drogon took Dany to Valyria, the ancestral home of House Targaryen. There’s also a theory that he’s going to Volantis to get Dany resurrected by a Red Priestess. The last we hear about Drogon in the show, he was heading east, so either could be the case.
Nevertheless, the possibility remains that Drogon, who’s been malnourished throughout season eight, turned his mama into the First of her Nom, Nom, Nom.
But could it actually happen?
“Might he eat her? Possibly, yes,” Dr. Carolyn Rando, a forensic anthropologist at theUCL Institute of Archaeology, told HuffPost. “I don’t think we can discount that he was going off to eat her.”
However, as a fan of the show, Rando has a more optimistic outlook and doesn’t think Drogon is making a Khaleesi kabob.
“It seems like the dragons in the show have some sort of semblance of understanding of human behaviour a little bit. And so they see her as a parent. So it was a grief type of thing,” said Rando, explaining her theory.
A poignant example from the show, where pets actually did eat their owner, may also support the case that Drogon didn’t consume Dany.

Dr. Carolyn Rando, a forensic anthropologist at the university’s Institute of Archaeology, toldThe Huffington Post UK that viewers shouldn’t discount the idea.
“Might he eat her? Possibly, yes,” she said in the interview. “I don’t think we can discount that he was going off to eat her.”
Dr Rando continued to explain that pets eating their dead owners “probably happens more than we think”.
“When you look at the case studies, it’s very specific conditions,” Rando said. “So someone lived alone, not a lot of friends came by the house, they died of natural causes, the pets couldn’t get out of the house. There’s no food in the house. Those types of things.”
