If you are one of the hundreds of millions of people who enjoyed the latest season of Game of Thrones, chances are the latest episode left you wondering something pretty major about the dragon it featured.
Well, that question has been answered.
Spoilers for Game of Thrones S07E07 follow.
In the latest episode of Game of Thrones, entitled 'The Dragon and the Wolf', the undead dragon Viserion destroys a large part of The Wall by sending blue blasts from its mouth into the magical ice structure.
- The real reason Cersei and Bronn never share a scene, revealed
- Was the season finale death the last we'll see of THAT character?
- Why Jon Snow's real name is so important
It was difficult to tell if the beast was breathing blue fire, or icy cold blasts as would be expected from an 'ice dragon', as described in George RR Martin's The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones.
'The Dragon and the Wolf' director Jeremy Podeswa has now explained that Viserion was breathing blue fire.
"The way I looked at it was, when the [Sept of Baelor] burned down, that was green fire, and so then the dragon is going to have some kind of blueish fire," he told the Huffington Post.
"It's certainly still fire - it has the ability to burn the Wall and melt snow. But it's going to have a different kind of magical quality to it, because it's coming from an undead dragon."
Viserion's status as a wight dragon has been confirmed - ice dragons, for now, remain a folklore of Westeros.
