Whose Dragon is Vermithor?
The topic of dragons has taken center stage in the ongoing fantasy series "House of the Dragon." Among the many dragons mentioned, Vermithor, also known as the Bronze Fury, is a peculiar and intriguing figure. After exploring various sources, I’m here to provide answers to the burning question, "Whose dragon is Vermithor?"
Answer:
House Targaryen, to be precise. As the article [1] mentions, Vermithor belongs to the House of Targaryen. Prior to the series, we knew that King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the old dude sitting on the throne in the House of the Dragon prologue, was once mounted by Vermithor [2]. So, essentially, Vermithor’s dragon rider was none other than the esteemed King Jaehaerys.
Sub-question: How does Vermithor fare in the story?
According to sources, including the article [3] and the fandom site "Game of Thrones" (Ice and Fire) [4], Vermithor has been quite the silent, yet impressive, ally in the fight against King Viserys. Though Daemon Targaryen rode Caraxes, not Vermithor, this might be because Vermithor was previously ridden by Jaehaerys [5].
Recent developments: Will we see Vermithor in Season 2?
Thanks to the preview of "House of the Dragon Season 2," we will most likely witness Vermithor at the peak of his abilities. As discussed in the article [6], Vermithor sings a haunting song in the show, captivating the interest of fans. This marks an exciting opportunity for those interested in seeing Vermithor in action.
In summary, Vermithor, the legendary dragon, is a beloved and powerful asset of House Targaryen. Ridden by King Jaehaerys in the past, Vermithor’s abilities will play a crucial role in upcoming episodes of "House of the Dragon Season 2."
