'House of the Dragon' makers pride themselves on their production value and they proved that their team of VFX and production design are perhaps some of the best in the business with the perfection with which they have created Vermithor and Silverwing.
A Reddit user said, "Amazing episode. Vermithor is an absolute unit," pointing to the size of the second-largest dragon in the Seven Kingdoms after Vhagar. Another user added, "God vermithor is so cool."
A Reddit user said, "I think vermithor might have my favorite design in the show, him and caraxes are just splendid, excited to see him not in his little murder cave." Another user added, "Vermithor's carnage is giving me flashbacks of trying to train my puppy."
Another Reddit user said, "Loved how Vermithor was being...choosy, while Silverwing basically goes 'oh hey a human, can I keep it?'" pointing to the difference in the way two dragons were claimed.
A Reddit user said, "Absolutely love Silverwing’s design, she’s so pretty." Another added, "I guess Silverwing is just super chill."
A Reddit user said, "I got the feeling that all of that was not at all on purpose, Silverwing just took flight the moment Ulf got on her because Alysanne died before Jaehaerys and Laenor, thus making her the longest without dragonriders, so she just wanted to return home to King's Landing, which generated all the situation," pointing to Rhaenyra Targaryen's (Emma D'Arcy) trap set with the dragon riders and Silverwing's loneliness.
What happens to Vermithor and Silverwing in 'House of the Dragon' Season 2?
Vermithor ridden by Hugh (Kieran Bew) helps Rhaenyra claim King's Landing but after the death of Vhagar and Caraxes, Vermithor becomes the largest dragon in the world, and that prompts Hugh to become greedy, leading to him wanting the Iron Throne. Vermithor ultimately dies in a battle with Seasmoke where both the dragons die.
Silverwing will be ridden in the upcoming battles by Ulf (Tom Bennett). Silverwing is a rare dragon who will survive the Dance of the Dragons as Ulf White will be killed by poisoning, as he also harbors the ambitions of being the King of the Seven Kingdoms.
