House of the Dragon is currently hiding a dragon that could finally defeat the Green’s colossal and deadly threat, Vhagar.
House of the Dragon Season 2continues to show howdragons like Vhagarare the biggest threat in theTargaryen civil war.
BetweenLucerys’ deathinSeason 1andRhaenys’ deathinSeason 2 Episode 4, the Targaryens’ fiery beasts seem unstoppable, especially on the Greens’ side.
However, Team Black has a trick up its sleeve. They’re currently hiding a dragon that’s even more dangerous and deadly than any beast the Greens have, and his name is Vermithor.
Vermithor was first introduced at the end of Season 1 when Daemon Targaryen found him underneath the halls of Dragonstone.
When he arrived, Daemon sang a certain song to wake Vermithor from his slumber. Now, he is roaming free in the caverns of Dragonstone.
The beast was first ridden byKing Jaehaerys I Targaryen, and after his death, he remained riderless and made a permanent home on the island.
Although Vhagar is still larger in size, Vermithor is considered the biggest threat to the Greens’ army of dragons.
Along with Vermithor, there are currently five other riderless dragons on Dragonstone: Seasmoke, Silverwing, Sheepstealer, Cannibal, and Grey Ghost.
Without getting into spoilers, each beast has a significant role in the Dance of the Dragons, and Vermithor is set to be the biggest wild card of all.
