There is a warning in this post about House of the Dragon.

Daemon has been anticipating war. The brother of the now-dead king Viserys has been gathering dragon eggs over the course of several episodes in hopes of bolstering the family's supply of beasts.

Daemon points out in the season finale that there are many already living dragons in the area. The Dance of Dragons would be gained by Rhaenyra's followers if they could claim and ride those dragons.

You need to know all the dragons after the House of the Dragon.

Daemon goes into the caverns below the city to look for at least one of the fire-breathers. The book upon which House of the Dragon is based is called Fire & Blood.

Everything you need to know about Vermithor is here.

Who are the wild dragons?

The Dance of Dragons: Cannibal, Grey Ghost, Seasmoke, Sheepstealer, Silverwing, and Vermithor have dragons in the caverns of Dragonstone.

The first dragon fight is different from the books.

Vermithor is around 100 years old by the time of the Dance of Dragons, which is why he's known asBronzeFury. He is second only to Aemond's dragon Vhagar in terms of size. The person who eventually rides the dragon is a major player in several battles.

In House of the Dragon, Targaryen dreams are important.

Who rode Vermithor previously?

When Viserys became king, Vermithor accepted his grandfather as his ride. Vermithor didn't take a new rider after Jaehaerys passed away. He hid under a volcano in the caverns of the Dragonmont.
