BARTIMOS: Pray forgive my bluntness, Your Grace, but talk of men is moot. Your cause owns a power that has not been seen in this world since the days of old Valyria. Dragons!
RHAENYRA: The Greens have dragons as well.
DAEMON: They have three adults, by my count. We have Syrax, Caraxes, and Meleys. Your sons have Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes. Baela has Moondancer.
RHAENYRA: Daemon, none of our dragons have been to war.
DAEMON: There are also unclaimed dragons. Seasmoke still resides on Driftmark. Vermithor and Silverwing dwell on the Dragonmont, still riderless. Then there are the three wild dragons, all of whom nest here.
RHAENYRA: And who is to ride them?
DAEMON: Dragonstone has 13 to their 4. I also have a score of eggs incubating in the Dragonmont.

RHAENYRA: I cannot spare a fighting dragon, but I send what I can. Stormcloud and Tyraxes are small, but they will grow.

RHAENYRA: Tyraxes and Stormcloud are young and vulnerable, these eggs are even more fragile. But should all come to ruin here, you will bear our hope for the future.

JEYNE: In return for protection. A dragon
RHAENA: Then she has exceeded your terms, she sent two.
JEYNE: Both still wet from the egg, I have hunting hounds that are more fearsome.
RHAENA: But they are dragons nonetheless. I do not recall you specifying the size of the beast in your request.
JEYNE: Will you goad me child? When your bread and shelter rest on my pleasure?
RHAENA: The dragons will grow. In time.
JEYNE: I don't have time. I mislike feeling powerless.
RHAENA: As do I.

The dragons ridden, respectively, by Rhaenyra's sons, Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey—Vermax, Arrax, and Tyrax-all strongly resemble Drogon and are also smaller than the reference dragon.

By royal decree, each of the Velaryon boys was presented with a dragon’s egg whilst in the cradle. Those who doubted the paternity of Rhaenyra’s sons whispered that the eggs would never hatch, but the birth in turn of three young dragons gave the lie to their words. The hatchlings were named Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes.

The voice belonged to the youngest of his half-nephews, Joffrey Velaryon, a boy of three. Always an early riser, Joff had sneaked down from his bed to see his own young dragon, Tyraxes. Afraid that the boy would raise the alarm, Prince Aemond shouted at him to be quiet, then shoved him backward into a pile of dragon droppings.

Rhaenyra’s three sons by Laenor Velaryon were all dragonriders; Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes were thriving, and growing larger every year.

It was Jace who came to the fore now, late in the year 129 AC. Mindful of the promise he had made to the Maiden of the Vale, he ordered Prince Joffrey to fly to Gulltown with Tyraxes. Munkun suggests that Jace’s desire to keep his brother far from the fighting was paramount in this decision. This did not sit well with Joffrey, who was determined to prove himself in battle. Only when told that he was being sent to defend the Vale against King Aegon’s dragons did his brother grudgingly consent to go.

Mushroom was less certain. “Three is more than one,” the dwarf claims to have told the Prince of Dragonstone, “but four is more than three, and six is more than four, even a fool knows that.” When Jace pointed out that Stormcloud had never been ridden, that Moondancer was but a hatchling, that Tyraxes was far away in the Vale with Prince Joffrey, and demanded to know where Mushroom proposed to find more dragons, the dwarf tells us he laughed and said, “Under the sheets and in the woodpiles, wherever you Targaryens spilled your silver seed.”

Elio told me that GRRM describes Tyraxes as a pale violet dragon with dark purple horn with purple flames.
