On top of the three types of dragons, Sapochnik also makes distinctions between the domesticated and the wild, untamed dragons that roam Westeros. Dragonstone, the ancestral seat of Targaryen power, built on an active volcano, is one site teaming with fire-breathers. There are three wild dragons designed for the show that won't make appearances in season 1 but remain the showrunner's favorite to date.

And behind the mountain dwelled three wild dragons, never claimed nor ridden by any man, living or dead. The smallfolk had named them Sheepstealer, Grey Ghost, and the Cannibal.
- Fire and Blood "The Dying of the Dragons: The Blacks and the Greens"
A man called Silver Denys, whose hair and eyes lent credence to his claim to be descended from a bastard son of Maegor the Cruel, had an arm torn off by Sheepstealer. As his sons struggled to staunch the wound, the Cannibal descended on them, drove off Sheepstealer, and devoured father and sons alike.
- Fire and Blood "The Dying of the Dragons: The Red Dragon and the Gold"
The largest and oldest of the wild dragons was the Cannibal, so named because he had been known to feed on the carcasses of dead dragons, and descend upon the hatcheries of Dragonstone to gorge himself on newborn hatchlings and eggs. Coal black, with baleful green eyes, the Cannibal had made his lair on Dragonstone even before the coming of the Targaryens, some smallfolk claimed. (Grand Maester Munkun and Septon Eustace both found this story most unlikely, as do I.) Would-be dragontamers had made attempts to ride him a dozen times; his lair was littered with their bones.
None of the dragonseeds were fool enough to disturb the Cannibal (any who were did not return to tell their tales).

BARTIMOS: Pray forgive my bluntness, Your Grace, but talk of men is moot. Your cause owns a power that has not been seen in this world since the days of old Valyria. Dragons!
RHAENYRA: The Greens have dragons as well.
DAEMON: They have three adults, by my count. We have Syrax, Caraxes, and Meleys. Your sons have Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes. Baela has Moondancer.
RHAENYRA: Daemon, none of our dragons have been to war.
DAEMON: There are also unclaimed dragons. Seasmoke still resides on Driftmark. Vermithor and Silverwing dwell on the Dragonmont, still riderless. Then there are the three wild dragons, all of whom nest here.
RHAENYRA: And who is to ride them?
DAEMON: Dragonstone has 13 to their 4. I also have a score of eggs incubating in the Dragonmont.

DAEMON: That’s impossible. A wild dragon cannot ever be tamed.
- House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2 "Queen's Landing"
DAEMON: He’s not like the others, Rhaena.
He is wild. He cannot be trusted.
- House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 4 "Tumbleton"
RHAENYRA: Who is he? And how did he come to claim a wild dragon?
...
DAEMON: It is an act of madness to claim a wild dragon.
