With House of the Dragon set to premiere very soon, HBO has debuted a new poster for the Game of Thrones prequel series, giving us arguably our best look yet at one of the show's many fire-breathing beasts.

We're not certain which one this is (sorry, our A Song of Ice and Fire knowledge only goes so far), but given Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) is also featured, it's probably safe to assume that this is her dragon, Syrax.

"The prequel series finds the Targaryen dynasty at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires—real and imagined—crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins almost 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones, when King Viserys Targaryen breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm."

House of the Dragon stars Paddy Considine (Peaky Blinders) as King Viserys Targaryen, Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One) as Alicent Hightower, Emma D’Arcy (Wanderlust) as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Matt Smith (Doctor Who) as Prince Daemon Targaryen. The show is set to premiere on August 21.
