It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.Notice though, GRRM did not answer the question: "Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they \"bond\" to their dragons?"Viserys had no dragon. Also the Targaryen dragons grew smaller over time, becoming less the beasts they were, less powerful and ultimately extinct. All the accounts of recent Targaryens with bad experiences concerning fire are about Targaryens without dragons. Only Daenerys has bonded and hatched dragons in recent times.. GRRM did not answer the actual question at all.Some Targaryens also have a high tolerance of heat, though they are by no means immune to fire</blockquote>
