Caraxes is called the Blood Wyrm because of his large neck size and his red scales.
Compared to other dragons, Caraxes has a comparatively long neck resembling a wyrm/snake, and because of his red scales, he is called the Blood Wyrm.
Caraxes is the mount of Prince Daemon Targaryen in Dance of the Dragons, but before Dameon Aemon, The Prince of Dragonstone claimed Caraxes during the 72 AC.
When the Dragonkeepers looked after Caraxes, they saw him as the fiercest compared to his siblings of the Dragonpit; hence, he was nicknamed the “Blood Wyrm”.
So why does Caraxes has a long neck? The reason is simple Caraxes is not like any other dragon. Although he is one of the fiercest dragons in the series, Caraxes is a deformed dragon.
Hence that is the reason why he has a long neck.
Also, Caraxes wouldn’t have been able to fly as his body was too big for any aerodynamics to work correctly, but luckily Caraxes had wings on his leg, which is why Caraxes is able to fly.
Why does Caraxes whistle?
The reason Caraxes whistle and has a different pitch than other dragons in House of the Dragon is that Caraxes has a deviated septum because of his long neck, which is the reason for his sparse roar.
