Ever wondered how they're constantly setting people on fire and chopping off limbs in House of the Dragon Season 2?

In the latest behind-the-scenes video HBO's Max gives us a tour of the prosthetics lab, courtesy of designer Waldo Mason and supervisor Claire Cameron. The pair take proceed to show us everything from the impressively realistic dragon wings to the disturbingly realistic burned and rotting faces of dragon victims and ratcatchers alike.

Probably not one to watch with breakfast.
