The dragon is also wrong. As GRRM has pointed out, six-limbed creatures are pretty rare in nature. It's either four or eight. Four-limbed creatures usually have legs and wings, but no forearms/forelegs (think of birds or bats).
OTOH, he's also pointed out that six-limbed dragons are a very popular misrepresentation of the creatures in Westeros (even moreso given that it's 150-odd years since anyone's seen one) as well as in real life. The Targaryen flag shows the correct four limbs but a lot of other pictures have them with six. |
