        Is it confirmed fire or some sorta ice ray? Only asking because a white walker using fire doesn't make sense.

        If it was shooting ice, it wouldn't have destroyed the Wall.

        It could've just been a forceful impact hitting the ice and crumbling it

        What if the breath is just many times colder than the ice on the wall and the temperature change was enough to crack it?

        I'm not an expert, but it would need to be A LOT colder. Also, Viserion seems to just have gotten a buff in general from being a zombie.

        Yes, but ice dragons are different from wight dragons. Does that physical description match Zombie Viserion?

        Yeah you're right. Guess we'll have to wait and see what the deal is. I still have a feeling the blue "flame" isn't actually flame.

        In Fanstasy shit like movies and video games Blue isn't usually fire breath it's Ice Breath. So he's shooting cold. Or Mana or something.

        I don't know why people think that's "ice" breath. The show hasn't said that. It looks like "magical fire" breath to me.

        The white walker dragon must have had hard time maintaining altitude with hole in its wings..... 🤷🏽‍♂️ #GameOfThrones #Physicspic.twitter.com/stUeFQG0fo

        Nothing with a wingspan that big would have any problems maintaining altitude with such relatively small holes in their wings

        Replying to @Julian_Krag @Jugalpatel @neiltyson

        Exactly, you need to consider surface area when determining how much air the wings would displace to increase lift. Holes don't matter.

        Also that would create lot of pressurized air leaking at the hole. Specially with dead tissue, there is a chance hole get bigger and bigger.

        Well we don't have dragon wing membrane to test it's tear strength, but it must be very strong to lift the dragon, maybe a graphine fabric?

        Also we have no evidence that dragon tissue decays at the same rate as human tissue.
