The final episode of Game of Thrones left fans with a plethora of unanswered questions, one of the most debated being why Drogon didn't kill Jon Snow after the latter took Daenerys Targaryen's life.By the finale of the series, Drogon was Daenerys' only remaining dragon, and it was atop Drogon that she won the Iron Throne and completed her arc as the Mad Queen, burning much of King's Landing and its people to the ground. It was because of this crime that Jon made the difficult decision to forgo his honor and kill his queen and lover in order to spare the kingdom from a murderous ruler.
As Daenerys lost allies as her time in Westeros went on, Drogon was her most loyal companion. It was shown many times that the largest of Daenerys' dragons would come to her aid and always follow her commands to kill her enemies. However, upon flying to the throne room and finding his "mother" dead, Drogon ignores Jon and instead melts the Iron Throne with his dragonfire before picking up Daenerys' body and flying away.
It is a surprising reaction from the vicious beast which has led to a number of theories about why Drogon doesn't kill Jon.
Theory: Drogon Understood Jon's Actions
One of the most interesting theories about why Drogon spared Daenerys' life was because he understood that Daenerys had become the Mad Queen.
