While the finale of the first season of House of the Dragon<\/a> may have aired, we still have a lot of dragons<\/a> to look forward to.<\/p>\n

In fact, we met one major new addition to the dragon roster in the 10th episode<\/a> of the season itself.<\/p>\n

In a scene featuring Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen<\/a>, we met a large beast in the depths of Dragonstone and his name is Vermithor.<\/p>\n

However, what is the significance of Vermithor? Here is everything you need to know about this big boy.<\/p>\n

**Spoilers for House of the Dragon and the book Fire and Blood**<\/strong><\/p>

Who is Vermithor in House of the Dragon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Vermithor is the dragon that once belonged to King Jaehaerys I Targaryen<\/strong>, the Old King.<\/p>\n
The male dragon had been ridden by Jaehaerys to King\u2019s Landing to claim the Iron Throne following the death of the boy\u2019s tyrant uncle King Maegor I Targaryen.<\/p>\n
Jaehaerys flew the dragon to the North and even to the Wall when following his sister-wife Queen Alysanne Targaryen on her dragon Silverwing.<\/p>\n
Since the death of Jaehaerys, Vermithor has resided in the caverns of the Dragonmont in the bowels of the island of Dragonstone.<\/p>\n
