Martin outlined his philosophy behind the dragons present in Game of Thrones in a blog post, saying they're designed to be realistic and thus have two legs and "not four, never four," just like bats and birds and winged dinosaurs and every other real animal. "No animal that has ever lived on Earth has six limbs," Martin said.

"For what it's worth, the shows got it half right," Martin said. Game of Thrones gave us the correct two-legged sigils for the first four seasons and most of the fifth, but when Dany’s fleet hove into view, all the sails showed four-legged dragons.

"A couple years on, House of the Dragon decided the heraldry should be consistent with Game of Thrones, but they went with the bad sigil rather than the good one," he said. "That sound you heard was me screaming, 'no, no, no.' Those damned extra legs have even wormed their way onto the covers of my books, over my strenuous objections."
