It's never really been properly explained why some Targaryen babies are born with dragon-like features (none have survived, that we know of), but Daenerys and Drogo's stillborn child Rhaego was said to have the same scales, wings and tail when he was delivered in the season 1 finale of Game of Thrones.
The prevailing theory is that Targaryens really do have "dragon blood" flowing in their veins, and their children look like this while being carried to term. This would explain why only premature births seem to exhibit reptilian appendages.
What did you guys make of the season finale of House of the Dragon and this hard-to-watch scene?
