As a dedicated fan of George R.R. Martin’s world and a regular viewer of House of the Dragon, I have spent countless hours immersed in the lore and intricacies of Westeros. The latest episode of House of the Dragon left me both excited and puzzled with the sudden appearance of a wild dragon in the Vale.
The mysterious appearance of a new dragon in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 has fueled fan debates. With no clear identification, this dragon from the Vale is causing quite a stir among viewers. Some fans suspect it might be “Sheepstealer,” a legendary dragon from the books. However, it’s important to remember that these theories are just speculations, and only time will tell if they hold any truth.
Here are all the details regarding the wild dragon seemingly stationed at the Vale.
Who is the wild dragon in the Vale in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6?
The dragon that’s been spotted in the skies is believed to be the Sheepstealer. However, the producers have not revealed its true identity yet.
In the most recent episode, Rhaena and Joffrey are seen having a leisurely walk when they come across the remains of some burnt sheep. This discovery suggests that a wild dragon may be residing in the Vale, causing Rhaena to inquire from Jeyne Arryn about the unusual occurrence. According to the original text of House of the Dragon, this ominous beast is believed to be known as Sheepstealer.
According to Dextero’s report, Ryan Condal, the showrunner of this theory, has added more evidence to its validity through his past remarks. He mentioned that five new dragons would be introduced in Season 2. So far, two of them, Stormcloud and Moondancer, have made their appearance on the show.
In George R.R. Martin’s “Fire and Blood,” Sheepstealer is described as a wild dragon that emerged during the reign of Jaehaerys I Targaryen. For the majority of its existence, this dragon primarily fed on sheep. Yet, the enigma surrounding the dragon’s identity in the Vale still lingers unresolved at the time of writing.
Who could ride Sheepstealer in House of the Dragon?
In the stories, Sheepstealer destroys numerous potential suitors before being subdued by an unconventional girl called Nettles.
According to Fire and Blood, Nettles would offer sheep to the uncontrollable Sheepstealer dragon as a peace offering. Over time, this young girl, believed to be of Valyrian descent, managed to establish a connection with the wild beast.
Despite the absence of any mention of Sheepstealer’s rider, called Nettles, in House of the Dragon so far, show creator Condal has kept quiet about her presence in the series. As a result, there is still a possibility that the wild dragon will be given a companion in the form of Nettles through a retcon.
The dragon’s and its rider’s identities are presently a secret. But with only two more episodes left in season 2, eager fans may discover the truth before too long.
