Get to Know the Dragons of "House of the Dragon"

Seasmoke makes his first appearance in "House of the Dragon" in episode three. Laenor Velaryon (Theo Nate) rides the dragon during the fight in the Stepstones, blasting enemy soldiers with fire. Laenor also flies Seasmoke to King's Landing ahead of his wedding to Rhaenyra. Seasmoke is a relatively young dragon who's never had another rider.

After Laenor fakes his death in episode seven, Seasmoke doesn't have a rider, which is rough for the blacks, who could use a more mature dragon on their side. In season two, they'll likely start searching for riders for Seasmoke and other riderless dragons they have in their custody.
