I think the Cannibal was a personification of the Targaryen downfall. He was black and green - the greens vs the blacks. He attacked and killed other dragons just as the Targaryens killed each other and the end of the Dance, he disappeared, signaling an end to their power and the magic they possessed over the dragons.
I like the theory that The Cannibal was the egg of Maegor the Cruel. Maegor was described as having a wary relationship with dragons when he was a child, until he claimed Balerion. And of course someone like Maegor would only want the best of the dragons. Adding to the theory, it would add a hint of sadness to Cannibal if Maegor rejected him at the start of their bond, only to pick the larger dragon, making Cannibal hate everyone for the rest of his life.
He's said to have been there since before the Targaryens. Also other Valyrians lived on Dragonstone before, highly alluding to the fact that he's a remnant from that old house.
HBO and George RR Martin have a tremendous opportunity with the Cannibal. He's so clouded in mystery that you can do almost anything with him. You could say that smallfolk rumors are true and he did come to Dragonstone before the Targaryen dragons and he's not one of them. And since he's not a Targaryen dragon, that he has different genes so he ages and grows differently than the Targaryen dragons do. You could make it so after he left the dance, he went back to Old Valyria or the thousand islands to live and stayed hidden mostly. Just a lot you could do with the Cannibal…A LOT.
Well no you can't lol because it allready document in the books about him (Some among the smallfolk of Dragonstone claimed that the Cannibal lived on the island even before the Targaryens arrived in 114 BC, a possibility that would make him, despite his size not being considered bigger than that of Vhagar and Vermithor, the oldest living dragon in Westeros at the time of the Dance of the Dragons, even older than Vhagar.)
The Cannibal could also be a symbolism of the Targaryen civil war, the Dance of the Dragons itself. Given that it's a black dragon with green eyes that eats its kind, it literally symbolizes both Targaryen factions (the blacks and the greens) "eating" each other. It's also interesting that after the civil war where basically almost all members of both factions were dead, it vanished
Bro he has been there befor agons conquest Some among the smallfolk of Dragonstone claimed that the Cannibal lived on the island even before the Targaryens arrived in 114 BC, a possibility that would make him, despite his size not being considered bigger than that of Vhagar and Vermithor, the oldest living dragon in Westeros at the time of the Dance of the Dragons, even older than Vhagar.
It honestly makes a lot of sense that Cannibal disappeared after the Dance of the Dragons. No more dragons to kill and eat, and a decline in new hatchlings means his primary food source would have vanished and he would have little reason to stay in Westeros. My guess is he flew East and there's a chance he may still be alive somewhere.
It's a shame that the cannibal was too wild to be claimed. If someone had claimed him during the war, which ever side they fight on would have a major advantage.
@@aerisaeris915 whilst the show may do things differently Caraxes was only able to tie against Vhagar in the books because Daemon jumped off to kill Aemond (thus leaving Vhagar without a commander), and even then Caraxes, Vhagar and debatably Daemon too (unlike the dragons and Aemond Daemon's death was never confirmed) all died I would say that the Cannibal probably has better chances against Vhagar than any other dragon in the series. Sheepstealer was supposedly hatched when Jaehaerys was still young which means that it should be around Vermithor's size and the Cannibal was even bigger than Sheepstealer. it's certainly in the top 3 largest dragons, if not the top 2 (it should be noted that even in-universe the idea of the Cannibal being around before the Targaryens even arrived is dismissed as mere myth. the show is free to go with that idea, but it's very unlikely that they will. especially since the show has already affirmed Vhagar as the largest living dragon, and only Vermithor and Silverwing were mentioned as being large enough to take Vhagar down)
The Cannibal disappeared after the Targaryen civil war. In the second book of ASOIAF, Dany's Dothraki bloodriders go off into the waste to look for help. One of them comes back and says that he saw the skeleton of a huuuuge dragon, so big that he and his horse could walk through it's skull. There were only a few known dragons that were that big, and the bodies of the other known ones are all accounted for. Perhaps it was Cannibal
Couldn't that have been a dragon from the freehold? I don't think it's said anywhere that the targ dragons are bigger than all of those that existed in valyria during the empire
@@aerisaeris915 Nope, there were dragons outside Valyria during the doom but they didnt last long. besides the Valyrians went conquering everywhere so its understandable that dragonbones could be found all over the place.
I think the Cannibal is the most powerful dragon alive. Even if the smallfolk of Dragonstone are wrong and their claims of Cannibal being alive even before the Targaryens arrived to the island is false, it would still make him not that much younger than Vhagar, and Vhagar while bigger than the Cannibal, she is nowhere near fast nor ferocious as the Cannibal. I’m certain that if one side managed to tame him, that would have completely changed the outcome of the war in their favor
I really like this theory that maybe Cannibal has descended from an entirely different line of dragons than the Targaryen dragon.….. It would explain his hostility and 'cannibalism' to all the rest of the dragons
He's not a Targaryen dragon in my eyes. If he was, someone in the span of 100 years should've claimed him already. He was probably a dragon that resided in Dragonstone that belonged to another Valyrian family before the Century of Blood when Dragonstone was built as the Westernmost outpost of the Valyrian Freehold. That’s why smallfolk of Dragonstone claims he lived there before Targaryens came. Valyrians are blood related to their dragons, and that's why they wanted to keep their bloodlines pure and not intermarry with other people; even other Valyrians who look exactly like them. Their blood will be diluted and the blood ties with the dragons are diminished. The Cannibal not being a Targaryen dragon theory is plausible.
Great video! Both; Cannibal’s lore and theories you brought are awesome! I really like the idea of him being a dragon that hatched from a clutch that belonged to a different Valyrian family that inhabited Dragonstone long before the Targaryens arrived. It leaves the Cannibal truly wild and not beholden to any Targaryen bloodlines which would explain why he cannot be bonded with by any members of House Targaryen, also would explain why he hates Targaryen dragons so much that he literally eats them.
imagine they go away from the books, and Daemon lives after killing vhagar. and then bonds with cannibal and they fly off to valyria. showing us what it looks like now.
In my head canon, Daemon survived the crash against Vhagar, found Cannibal and both being chaotic made them bond with each other and then they flying somewhere to live out their remaining days. Neither of them were seen again it makes sense
Maybe the cannibal went to the place that balarion went to with the princes, if stuff their can harm balarion then it makes sense that sizeable prey could be there for the cannibal
I got the back history of cannibal actually cannibal is not a targarean dragon but he fall in love with a targarean dragon but unfortunately the targareans killed her with their dragons because she was not willing to be tamed so he became extremely angry and started to kill every dragon he saw ... I really love to see dragon emotions also besides their fighting 😊
Cannibal was around the same seize as vermithor who was smaller than vhagar but not by a huge margin he might’ve been a lil bigger than vermithor making him not only the 3rd largest dragon to ever exist in Westeros but also the oldest being around 280 years old by the time of the dance
The moment grrm made it clear there where dragons in Westeros befor the Targaryens the case is closed lol Some among the smallfolk of Dragonstone claimed that the Cannibal lived on the island even before the Targaryens arrived in 114 BC, a possibility that would make him, despite his size not being considered bigger than that of Vhagar and Vermithor, the oldest living dragon in Westeros at the time of the Dance of the Dragons, even older than Vhagar. There you go that's more then enough evidence he was there before the Targaryens and he is massive lol
Giving the fact that Cannibal was a free dragon while Balerion was caged, added that to his age, i'm pretty sure Cannibal must be the size of vhagar if not bigger, since dragons grow larger when they live free. Im sure in Season 2 of HotD he must be pretty much that, as big as vhagar if not bigger, since he was older than vhagar and was never in captivity.
The Cannibal might possibly be the personification of House Targaryen’s downfall. His eyes are green and his scales are black. Therefore showing the Targaryens killing each other.
from game of trhones wiki we know that cannibal was even bigger in size that the Balerion and he was unclaimed cause of his wild nature so i am questioning how vhagar is bigger than him?
Maybe Daenery's black dragon Drogon is a spawn of the Cannibal:) and he is out there sometimes, who knows if Daenerys meets the Cannibal later on if its alive!
I guess it would make some sort of sense in this magical world that a dragon could extend its lifespan by eating other dragons. Might be why it seems to live forever when all the others eventually grow old and die.
Now it would be cool, if a dragon can live almost an immortal life. If they were to get the Snow show out, which I know it has been put on the back burner, That the Cannibal would be Snow's dragon. Just Saying. I can dream, lol.
Ok, now that season 2 is done and season 3 looks like many dragons fighting and dying and Dragonstone now being vacated because all the dragons are claimed and off at battle our chances of seeing Cannibal in season 3 skyrockets. Eggs and or hatchlings unguarded, dragons dying which I hate to see but i would like to see Cannibal make an appearance.
There’s literally only legend and stories of the cannibal so they can do whatever they want with him they can make him larger than Balerion or Vhagar or make him close to size with Vermithor and depending on how big they want him to be they can decide on what origin story they wish to highlight as most likely in the show very interested to see what they do
Which source confirms that cannibal gona appear in season 2.? Already mentioned by showruner 5 new drogons r going to com in 2 , tyraxes, moondancer, stormcloud, silverwings r confirmed . 1 left i could either be a sheepsteler.
They said something about the 3 wild dragons being their favourite designs, which suggests they’re in season 2 since why would u make 3 unique designs, before knowing if the show would even be renewed
When the doom happen and the where still dragons in the free cities it rider most have been killed and just like balerion and area sunfyre and Aegon it return to the place it hatched drogonstone. Which was occupied by the targaryen for only 12 years making barley older than balerion and smaller than the other four . In his younger year it most have acted like Grey ghost until able to feed one hatchlings and the young drakes because he was old and other dragons where more accessibility in the area any other prey of sufficient size he would have to hunt for miles like sheepsteeler.
For those saying Cannibal is older than the 3 OG Targaryen Dragons Why the Hell Cannibal is Smaller Compare too Vhagar & Vermithor 2 Captive Targaryen Dragons that once reside in Dragonpits while Cannibal lived its entire life in Wilderness THOSE PEOPLE SAYING THE REASON TARGARYENS DRAGONS ARE NOT COMPARABLE TOO ITS PREDECESSORS IS BECAUSE THEY ARE KEPT IN DRAGONPITS WHILE THOSE IN WILD GROWN UNTINTERUPTED SO WHY CANNIBAL IS MUCH SMALLER COMPARE TO VERMITHOR A CAPTIVE DRAGONS .
Not older, bigger because, he was never confined to the dragon pit meaning he had everything he needed to grow, we saw how fast drogon grew in just 10 years, and I think the cannibal is older than vermithor but not vhagar
We don't know the exact size of cannibal, it's the maester who predicted that he was smaller than balerion and vhagar because they've seen those 2 dragons and they measured those 2 but you have to keep in mind that no one ever measured cannibal and if balerion and vhagar were bigger than cannibal and vermithor was of his size, why having 3 dragons bigger or almost equal to him and never dared to attack him? He was killing their hatchling, eating dragon eggs and what not and they never dared to attack and take him down, if they had there might have been many more dragons in dance of the dragon. But they chose not to hit him, even when he was alone and they an army of dragons. There must be a reason for it, either he was bigger and more destructive or maybe he's some sort of magical being that the targeryens feared could harm them big time maybe take down 1 or 2 bigger dragons
@@priyanshumishra6023 why i say Cannibal is smaller than both Vhagar & Vermithor you people have reading problem just look at his diet it eat only either Dragon Hatchling , Dragon Egg , Smallfolk that unfortunately stumbled in its lairs and by the time of Dance Dragon Corpse it was never a Danger to Sizable Dragons NEVER.. AND THAT MEANS IT SIZE IS NOT FEARSOME AS IT IS ACCORDING TO RUMORS OF THE UNEDUCATED SMALLFOLKS.
I mean logically, the cannibal should be the second biggest dragon, since he wasn’t stunted by the dragon pit, so he had all the room he needs to grow bigger, drogon grew bigger than arax despite both growing between 10 years, it’s because the variety of food and the size of the environment he was in, so logically cannibal should at least the second biggest dragon in HOTD
Valrian are known for ships in ancient valyria, not dragons.. Only valerian that are dragon riders are half breeds between them and Targaryen.. Princess Rhaenies is Targaryen so her and her kinda/ family line will have dragons.. Notice Corlys nor his brother have dragons.. I think it makes more sense that their were different breeds of dragons on different land masses.. There could have been a dragon war and westerosi dragons lost and it's personal and why he eats them because he is a warrior dragon and ancient warriors would eat the hearts of there enemies!
If the cannibal was older than all the dragons, then was he the reason of the doom of Valyria? He followed Aegon to Westeros to eradicate all of the Targs and their dragons. This makes sense as to why the Faceless Men were trying to get the book from the citadel and the dragon egg. Maybe they were trying to hatch the remaining egg of the cannibal to rid the world of the future Targ dragons from Danerys.
I think Cannibal is still alive and he is waiting for his actual rider who is coming beyond the wall . A king with blue eyes and white skin carrying an ice spear.
I suspect The Cannibal has never belonged to the Targaryens or any other Valerians. I think he is from somewhere else, and made his way to Westeros. I wonder if it’s possible he’s smaller than Balerion bc he is a cave dweller? Just guesses, but what if what’s west of Westeros is the birthplace of dragons?
Let's just hope that The Cannibal is NOT as old as Balerion who struggled to even fly in his final years. You must keep some modicum of logic, even in fantasy novels. Older or past prime is not necessarily a good thing. Besides, we don't really know that the writers will include this dragon in the story.
Balerion likely became sluggish from dragon wyrm parasites when he flew back to old Valerya with Ayra Targaryn. I don't think it was old age that took him out
Your forgetting everyone who lives and dies is suppose to so Jon Snow can be born everything happens as it should dragons seen tapped into this fact so he could just be a rogue god inside a dragon culling dragons for the future outcome
Pretty sure we wont see cannibal in the show, if we do it would be cool. Just a shame he was never claimed by the blacks, want to see the beast in action.
I think the Cannibal was a personification of the Targaryen downfall. He was black and green - the greens vs the blacks.

AND THAT MEANS IT SIZE IS NOT FEARSOME AS IT IS ACCORDING TO RUMORS OF THE UNEDUCATED SMALLFOLKS.
FAB IS BACK!!!!
Daemon & Caraxes are the best.👑🐉
I don’t even know if we’ll get to see it in the show. Maybe in a cameo scene but none of the dragon seeds claim him
I mean logically, the cannibal should be the second biggest dragon, since he wasn’t stunted by the dragon pit, so he had all the room he needs to grow bigger, drogon grew bigger than arax despite both growing between 10 years, it’s because the variety of food and the size of the environment he was in, so logically cannibal should at least the second biggest dragon in HOTD
Valrian are known for ships in ancient valyria, not dragons.. Only valerian that are dragon riders are half breeds between them and Targaryen.. Princess Rhaenies is Targaryen so her and her kinda/ family line will have dragons.. Notice Corlys nor his brother have dragons.. I think it makes more sense that their were different breeds of dragons on different land masses.. There could have been a dragon war and westerosi dragons lost and it's personal and why he eats them because he is a warrior dragon and ancient warriors would eat the hearts of there enemies!
We didn’t see the cannibal in season 2 😭😭😭 absolutely gutted
doesn’t make any sense if the cannibal is older than balerion. Viserys mentioned that balerion is the last living dragon to have seen the old valyria
brooooooo please look into it further the bronze fury has a broad history well documented to an extent
Cornelius Valerian is the only person and his granddaughter able to ride the dragon 🐉 eater
Sheepstealer belongs to nettles unless HOTD changes the lore yet again
No one said he doesn’t. Denys only tried to tame it and died. Nettles tamed him later
Makes no sense has the targaryean where a low born family and had the smalleat dragons
If the cannibal was older than all the dragons, then was he the reason of the doom of Valyria? He followed Aegon to Westeros to eradicate all of the Targs and their dragons.
This makes sense as to why the Faceless Men were trying to get the book from the citadel and the dragon egg. Maybe they were trying to hatch the remaining egg of the cannibal to rid the world of the future Targ dragons from Danerys.
Is the name vah- gar or is it pronounced Vaygar?
Why do people think the Cannibal ate exclusively other dragons? He eats more than just Dragons.
I think Cannibal is still alive and he is waiting for his actual rider who is coming beyond the wall . A king with blue eyes and white skin carrying an ice spear.
The theory was that cannibal was waiting for the prince who was promised
He's not in season 2 they remove him from ep 7.
I think he is a Valaryon dragon!
I suspect The Cannibal has never belonged to the Targaryens or any other Valerians. I think he is from somewhere else, and made his way to Westeros.
I wonder if it’s possible he’s smaller than Balerion bc he is a cave dweller? Just guesses, but what if what’s west of Westeros is the birthplace of dragons?
Let's just hope that The Cannibal is NOT as old as Balerion who struggled to even fly in his final years. You must keep some modicum of logic, even in fantasy novels. Older or past prime is not necessarily a good thing. Besides, we don't really know that the writers will include this dragon in the story.
Balerion likely became sluggish from dragon wyrm parasites when he flew back to old Valerya with Ayra Targaryn. I don't think it was old age that took him out
the serie is out longer than 2 years, and you still pronounce VHAGAR WRONG!!!
Your forgetting everyone who lives and dies is suppose to so Jon Snow can be born everything happens as it should dragons seen tapped into this fact so he could just be a rogue god inside a dragon culling dragons for the future outcome
Pretty sure we wont see cannibal in the show, if we do it would be cool. Just a shame he was never claimed by the blacks, want to see the beast in action.
GEET HYPEEEEEE
Vermithor will destroy all even the Cannibal and Vhagar.
Imagine if they change what happens in the books 😂😂😂
FAB IS BACK FOMOS
He is thr biggest though
My fav dragon
I love this dragon 🐉 even tho he eats other dragons and he is riderless 😎
I hope the show doesn't go with these stupid rumors.
Loke dragons don't stop growing so why tf is he smaller if he'd older
VAGAR
He returned to Stygai
Why are you hyping up a dragon that has 0 impact in the story XD
Cause he looks and acts cool.
My theory is in the vale rhaena is the person who claim Cannibal
She will claim Sheepstealer not Canibal
🔥🔥🐉🐉
They talk as though this shit is for real
Sooo repetitive...
I hope the Cannibal has 6 limbs( four legs and a pair of wings) to further distinguish that it's a different breed of dragon, maybe even more ancient
I hope it has 17 legs
like 100 woohoo
Stumbled on this video. A reminder of how full of crap this "leak" channel was😂😂😂 I'll never understand why anyone believes a word you say
🔥🔥🐉🐉
