Summary
There are many unclaimed firedrake inHouse of the Dragonthat could be claimed by worthy rider . Theending ofHouse of the Dragonseason 2 , sequence 5 , sees Rhaenyra and Jacaerys add up up with a new architectural plan to replenish their effect . After the Battle of Rook ’s balance and the loss of Rhaenys and Meleys , along with Daemon ’s questionable loyalties throughout season 2,the Blacks are at a disadvantage without a firedrake large enough to contend with the Greens ' Vhagar . Their plan is to invite Valyrian descendent to seek to bond with the riderless dragons on Dragonstone and Driftmark .
House of the Dragonhas laid the foundation for this conclusion since season 1 and continues to prod at it throughout season 2 . In the time of year 1 finale , Daemon was seen singing to a Draco in an underground dragonpit , suggesting that he may have a need for it before long . House of the Dragonseason 2 ’s new charactershave also been primarily compose of figures like Alyn , Addam , Hugh , and Ulf , all of whom have been teased as get Valyrian background , either through their silver hair or through dialogue connecting them to a Targaryen or Velaryon parent .
House Targaryen and House Velaryon are both surviving kinsfolk from Old Valyria , an empire that was once rule by flying lizard power . While the Valyrian civilisation was wiped out by the Doom , descendent of Valyrian stemma exist all throughout the man , in the first place in the urban center of Essos . Bastards of Valyrian blood , such as Alyn and Addam , are called dragonseeds , and they ’re just as worthy of bonding with a dragonas any Targaryen . The addition of raw , unclaimed dragon will expand on the already stackedHouse of the Dragondragon roll .
5Vermithor
Vermithor Was King Jaehaerys I Targaryen’s Dragon
Vermithor is one of the two presently unclaimed dragons that have already been see on the show . InHouse of the Dragon’sseason 1 ending , Daemon sings to Vermithor , tease its recurrence to prevalence sometime in season 2.Vermithor is the second - big Draco alive during the Dance of the Dragons , 2nd only to Aemond Targaryen ’s Vhagar . It ’s nicknamed the Bronze Fury for its tan exfoliation color and enormous size of it , and it ’s one of the oldest dragons animated during the prison term , having been born most 100 year beforeHouse of the Dragonseason 2 ’s events .
In theGame of Thronesuniverse , dragon continuously grow as they age .
Vermithor has been riderless since the end of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen , who was bonded with the firedrake for about 70 years . Jaehaerys was known as the longest - reigning Targaryen monarch , lionize for leading the region through a period of peace and prosperity follow the troubled period of Maegor the Cruel . The mighty Vermithor was the magnate ’s comrade from the get-go , with its testis hatching in Jaehaerys ' cradle . By the time the throne pass to Jaehaerys , Vermithor was already one of thelargest dragons inGame of Throneshistory(at least in Westeros ) , behind Balerion and Vhagar .
The Bronze Fury is n’t enough to handle Vhagar one - on - one , but it makes the Blacks far more threatening if ride .
While Jaehaerys ' reign was mark by its relative repose , there were still fight for the dragon to gain battle experience , such as the Third and Fourth Dornish Wars , where Jaehaerys tantalize Vermithor to battle . In the Fourth Dornish War , Vermithor , along with Caraxes and Vhagar , dress the Dornish fleet ablaze before it reached the shores of the Stormlands . With its massive size and experience , Vermithor has the potential to drastically change the trend of the Dance if it find a passenger . The Bronze Fury is n’t enough to address Vhagar one - on - one , but it makes the Blacks far more minatory if ride .
4Silverwing
Silverwing Was Queen Alyssane Targaryen’s Dragon
As Vermithor was to Jaehaerys , Silverwing was to the dear Queen Alysanne Targaryen , having hatched in her cradle around 36 AC , nigh 100 years before the Dance of the Dragons . Silverwing has n’t yet seem inHouse of the Dragon , but the she - dragon is another of the largest alert at the time . Silverwing is known for her silvery scale and docile nature equate to other , more violent Dragon , especially among those who are riderless at the start of the Dance . She also has n’t been described as having battle experience , but her size will count for something .
Possibly the most engrossing thing about Silverwing that put forward question about dragon self-reliance inGeorge R.R. Martin’sA Song of Ice & Fireuniverse is that she coupled with Vermithor for many years of her aliveness . Dragon in this universe ask to make sister , of course , but they are n’t screw for mould romanticist bonds . Thus , it seems like the strong human relationship between their king and queen riders played some role in the two bonding to a more famous degree . The mystique of the dragon / rider kinship is one of the most compelling aspects of the Draco ' role in HOTD and GOT .
Like Vermithor , Silverwing has been riderless for roughly 30 year . She ’s nesting somewhere in the cavern of Dragonstone , like Vermithor , and is just tender her time until someone attempts to claim her . While her docile nature may make Silverwing seem less important than Vermithor , she ’d still be a tremendous addition to either side who could persuade battles . Her want of battle experience could make her less powerful than dragon like Caraxes and Vhagar , but she ’s at least had decades of riding experience and is one of the only dragons to have been ridden to the Wall .

3Seasmoke
Seasmoke Was Laenor Velaryon’s Dragon
Seasmoke is another dragon that hearing have actually seen multiple times before onHouse of the Dragon . In time of year 1,Laenor Velaryon ( Rhaenyra ’s first hubby ) rode Seasmoke to aid Daemon and Corlys in the War of the Stepstones . The firedrake also appears in time of year 2 and is picture to be flying aimlessly near Dragonstone and Driftmark . Mysaria even question whether Seasmoke is solitary when she sees him , implying that he ’s one tartar who ’ll be aroused to have a new passenger .
Meleys already march the value of speed and battle experience , and Seasmoke checks both box .
Seasmoke was born around 101 AC , making it roughly 30 at the start of the Dance of the Dragons . It ’s probably around the same age as Sunfyre and a decent amount older than Jacaerys ' Vermax , but ithas an advantage in battle experience that the other untested dragon do n’t have . Seasmoke is consider for its wan silver scale and speed , which make it a significant threat for the Blacks to prevail disregarding of its little sizing . Meleys already shew the note value of stop number and struggle experience , and Seasmoke checks both box seat .
An interesting aspect of Seasmoke that come fromHouse of the Dragon’sbook changes is that audiences know Laenor Velaryon live on . Generally , a bond with a dragon only severs when the passenger die . In the showcase of the show , the logical implication is either that Laenor die somewhere off - screen or that the fact that Seasmoke thinks he ’s dead is proficient enough to break their bail bond . Laenor and Seasmoke bonded when both were quite young and were exhibit on the series as get a warm relationship , conduce to why Seasmoke has been antsy in his absence .
House of the Dragon time of year 2 , installment 5 marked a grownup transposition to the hierarchy of the Greens , leading many to wonder if Aemond is now Billie Jean Moffitt King .
2Sheepstealer
Sheepstealer Is A Wild Dragon
While many of the firedrake in George R.R. Martin ’s world have fantastical names like Dreamfyre and Moondancer , while others have exotic Valyrian names like Balerion and Rhaegal , Sheepstealer ’s name is rather straight - forward and self - explanatory . It ’s awild dragon who ’s infamous among the smallfolk of Dragonstone and the Crownlands for stealing and eating their sheep . Sheepstealer is another tartar who ’s onetime and declamatory , having been bear decades before the Dance of the Dragons .
The engagement with Sheepstealer is that , whileit would likely be a formidable dragon due to its viciousness and irritation , it ’s never had a rider before the Dance . flying dragon who ’ve had previous riders , like Vermithor and Silverwing , are easier to bond with . On the other hand , Sheepstealer could be a massive hazard for any potential riders , as it ’s known to be quite raw . Its nature in the books is n’t describe as being entirely hostile toward homo , but it was quick to angriness if evoke .
Sheepstealer could be an asset in the Dance , but it ’s spent a tenacious life already unwarranted . The Draco is described as not being used to human , and it ’s cognize to be quite repellent to mentrying to claim it . In the book , several minor dragonseeds are harmed or kill trying to mount it .
Rhaenyra has finally pick out her Hand of the Queen in House of the Dragon season 2 , and naming Corlys Velaryon comes with some major developments .
1Cannibal & Grey Ghost
Cannibal & Grey Ghost Are Wild Dragons
Cannibal and Grey Ghost are grouped together becauseit seems improbable that either will seem inHouse of the Dragon . They may be mentioned or have brief cameo , but they ’re not as crucial to the history , at least for season 2 . Both of them are wild dragon and present standardised issue to Sheepstealer when riders attempt to lay claim them . Cannibal is named for rust dead dragons , newborn flying dragon , and tartar eggs and is said to have left a den fill up with bones when riders tried to tame it .
Grey Ghost also did n’t take to any potential riders , though that ’s because it was never found by any humans who see for it , hence its name . Cannibal is one of the old and largest dragon active during the Dance , having been born before Aegon ’s Conquest . It ’s a dragon both sides would sure like to have in their arsenal , but it ’s been wild for so long that taming it is probable a near - impossible task that is n’t even worth investing sentence in . It will be interesting to see if either appear inHouse of the Dragon , but they do exist during this time in the book of account .
Taking situation about 172 years before the upshot ofGame of Thrones , House of the Dragontells the narration of the raise of the Targaryens , the only house of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria . The popular HBO spinoff show first asterisk Milly Alcock and Emily Carey as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower before they were replaced by Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke , who diddle the older versions of the characters . Also star in the series is Matt Smith ( Prince Daemon Targaryen ) and Paddy Considine as Rhaenyra ’s sire , King Viserys Targaryen .
