Did Khal Drogo Have Any Named Weapons Or Mounts?

I've spent more evenings than I can count rewatching the early bits of 'Game of Thrones' and rereading the opening chapters of 'A Song of Ice and Fire', so this one feels like a cozy little trivia hunt for me. Short story first: canonically, Khal Drogo doesn't have any famous, explicitly named weapons or mounts in either George R. R. Martin's novels or the HBO show. He’s always associated with the arakh (that distinctive curved Dothraki blade) and with enormous, prized warhorses, but neither the blade nor the horse gets a proper, beloved name in the official material. That lack of a name is actually kind of telling — it speaks to Dothraki culture and how Martin contrasts their warrior ethos with Westerosi traditions, where naming swords is common and meaningful.

If you look more closely, the Dothraki treat weapons and horses a little differently than a Northern lord would treat a Valyrian steel sword. Khal Drogo is introduced as the epitome of a khal: monstrous strength, fearsome reputation, always surrounded by mounts and riders. The books (and the show) describe his arakh, his horse, and his prowess, but there's no passage that says, "This is called X." In contrast, Westerosi characters have a whole tradition of named blades that carry lineage and story, like 'Longclaw' or 'Ice'. The Dothraki value the utility and glory of the blade and the mount more than the sentimental, named lineage version we see over the Narrow Sea. That cultural angle is why you won't find a canonical 'Drogo's Arakh' name dropped in the text.

That said, the echo of his name reverberates in a way that's really cool: Daenerys names one of her dragons 'Drogon', which is widely understood to be a nod to Khal Drogo. So while Drogo himself didn't bequeath a named sword or named horse to the saga, his legacy technically lives on through that dragon. Fans have also filled the quiet spaces with imagination — fanfics, tabletop campaigns, and artwork often give Drogo a named mount or a legendary arakh, and some roleplaying servers or game mods invent ornate names that feel right for the Dothraki tongue (harsh, evocative, elemental). If you like crafting lore, naming his arakh something like 'Sun-Splitter' or 'Bone-Biter' or giving his stallion a terse, guttural name fits the vibe very well.

I always enjoy this kind of little canonical gap because it invites creative play. If you're writing fanfic, making a prop for a con, or just arguing about who would have the best ride in a khalasar, give him a short, brutal name that maps to the world’s flavor. Personally, imagining the smoky scent of the campfire and the clatter of hoofbeats while Drogo leans in to strike with his arakh is more vivid to me than any label he could have been given — but then again, that's half the fun of fandom: filling those silent corners with stories and names that feel true.
