Scientists have discovered a pint-sized dragon lurking in the misty mountains of Thailand and named it “Syrax” after the mythical monster Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen rides in the HBO hit “House of the Dragon.”

Acanthosaura Syrax, a mountain horned dragon, was found high in the evergreen forests of Mae Wong National Park in Thailands’ Tak-Kamphaeng Phet region, according to Science Daily.

Researchers Poramad Trivalairat and colleagues from Chulabhorn Royal Academy and Kasetsart University in Thailand — who wrote about the discovery in the journal ZooKeys — intentionally dubbed the lizard Syrax because several of the fictional behemoth’s traits are reflected in the new creature — on a much smaller scale, of course.

Fans of the the series, a prequel to “Game of Thrones,” will recognize the similarities — both beasties have the same yellowish-green coloration, are relatively small compared with other dragons and share the rare ability to lay large clutches of eggs.

And while it won’t be torching castles, melting knights or battling for the Iron Throne, this spiky customer is certainly scaling up excitement in the reptile world.

So far, scientists haven’t found the species anywhere else on Earth. Syrax will make the 23rd species of the Mountain Horned dragons in the genus Acanthosaura.

DNA analysis confirmed that the little lizard is genetically distinct from its closest known relative, Acanthosaura lepidogaster, and other mountain horned dragons.

But there could be trouble on the horizon.

Because A. syrax appears restricted to a narrow strip of high-elevation forest, researchers fear its isolated mountain kingdom could lead to its extinction.

They’re hoping the newly-crowned dragon’s famous moniker can draw attention to it and help protect it from dying out, along with Mae Wong’s precious forests, which are also home to rare wildlife including Asian forest tortoises, Oldham’s leaf turtles and Incohinese tigers.
