Episode 6 of Season 2 House of the Dragon was entirely focused on the enormous beasts that gave the series its name. Rainiera And Jake They had the idea to find riders for the dragons of Montedragon. In the chapter they even succeed, albeit unexpectedly, Addam of Kila tame FogBut far from the mountain where the Blacks are hiding, another mysterious creature appeared.
Reyna Taragriendaughter Daemonwas in the Vale of Arryn for several episodes. And at some point in the new part House of the Dragonlearns the terrible truth. Walking through the valley, he comes face to face with a completely burnt place. This is clearly the work of a dragon. But there are no riders living nearby in that place. Therefore, it is a wild dragon.
“You have deceived me, my lady. There is a great dragon in the valley,” he reproaches her. Reina To Jeyne Arrynwho kept this secret from him. “The rumors started soon after the war. I think he came looking for food. My maesters think so. He’s huge. And scary. But wild,” she explains in response. The words with which House of the Dragon confirms that this is not one of the dragons already seen.
wild dragon
In the books of Mr. George R.R. Martin There are three main wild dragons that play an important role in the Dance of the Dragons. One of them is Gray Ghostwhich no other racer has ever claimed. Another cannibalwho always remained free from human contact due to his enormous ferocity. The third sheep thief. The latter has every chance of being the one who just appeared in House of the Dragon.
The series would have changed the location, because in fact in the original material he lived in Montedragon. His size was gigantic, about the same, if not larger. Meleis, Caraxes or Syraxalthough somewhat less than Vermithor or Vhagar. It got its name from the fact that it fed on the flocks of sheep of the Driftmark shepherds, causing them problems, although it rarely attacked people. Its appearance was rather ugly, dirty brown in color.
IN House of the Dragon We haven’t seen him yet, but we’ve already hinted at what his story will be. And it looks like it’s going to be even more different from the books. For starters, he’s been taken from Dragonmount and brought to the Vale of Arryn. But when someone tries to claim that he’s on the side RainieraIt looks like the show is going to invent its own narrative to make it more connected to the show.
Sheepstealer Rider
There are several supposed descendants featured in the books. Taragrian who is trying to tame sheep thief. Among them Aline Velarion or Denis Serebro. But in the end it will go to a girl named Nettle whose origins are completely unknown. This girl devotes herself every morning to bringing the sheep to the animal, befriending it until they create a bond that unites them. Nettle And sheep thief They go over to the black side and become a very valuable asset in the war for Rainiera.
But in House of the DragonObviously, the person who could have unintentionally established a connection with the creature is herself. Reina. Daughter Daemon He doesn’t have a dragon because every time he tried to join him, he failed. In the books, one of the eggs she was protecting hatched and a small pink dragon emerged from it. Sunrise. It happened to her. Reina I would have gotten the connection I was looking for. The HBO adaptation will cut them out of the plot. Sunrise already Nettleforcing the dragon to go Reina be sheep thief.
For now this is just a theory, although it would make sense not to complicate the plot with new characters. House of the Dragon There’s a huge story to tell, and the showrunners are working hard to make it easy to follow. If this hypothesis is confirmed, Reina He will be back in Blacks very soon. The next episode of the series will premiere on Monday, July 29th in Spain, and on the night of Sunday, the 28th, in Latin America.
