Game Of Thrones Season 8: 7 Clues From Episode 5's Trailer

1. Dragon Armour?!

Euron Looks Up
HBO

There's just something about Euron's surprised look to the heavens that suggests he's not just looking at Drogon and Dany. After all, why would he be even remotely concerned at that sight when he's just killed Drogon's brother in more difficult conditions (plus, he's Euron Greyjoy and nobody has a loftier opinion of Euron Greyjoy than Euron Greyjoy).

There has to be something different here, so let's put the jigsaw pieces together. Euron looking concerned; that eerily peaceful shot of the harbour; the shots of the Lannister soldiers defending further inland against dragon attack from the sky... While some more enterprising characters have claimed it means there's more than one dragon, you can't just pull them out of your backside, even in this world.

Most likely, Drogon has had a series of improvements. Rather than simply relying on plot armour - which has saved a fair few of her fellow characters - what if Dany has fitted her beloved scalyboy son with his own armour? That would certainly change the game somewhat and render the scorpions less of the battlenerfs we've seen them be so far.

Let's all hope Dany has just cut some arms and legs holes out of a massive metal wheeliebin, because there's absolutely no chance fans won't complain about it looking goofy no matter how the design looks (if this prediction is even true?)
