Meet the Crabfeeder, the spooky new antagonist of "House of the Dragon"
"Game of Thrones" villains have terrifying nicknames, but "House of the Dragon" might have the weirdest villain name yet: the Crabfeeder. Not only does he have a brutal method of conquest, but he's also already poised to be a major enemy for at least a few of the series' greatest players.
Who is the crab eater?At the start of "The House of the Dragon", we learn that Corlys Velaryon, among others, is concerned about the rise of a leader called Craghas Drahar, aka the "Crabfeeder". He gains power through the Stepstones, a collection of remote islands famous for their dangerous, pirate-infested waters, but also vital to trade routes. The Crabfeeder currently leads the Triarchy, a group of Free Cities that have banded together to impose law and order in the region and rid their seas of dangerous pirates.
While safer trade routes are a good thing, the rise of the Triarchy also means the rise of a powerful alliance that could threaten Westerosi's ambitions at sea - a particular concern for Corlys, known as from "Sea Snake". In "Fire and Blood", the book by George R.R. Martin that serves as the basis for "House of the Dragon", Westeros is fine with the Triarchy's dominance until they start raising the tolls of the trade routes. Then a group of nobles, including Daemon Targaryen and Corlys, decided to place the Stepstones under Westerosi control.
Why is Craghas Drahar called the crab eater?The Crabfeeder gets its name from a particularly gruesome practice it uses on its enemies, which is even shown in the second episode of "House of the Dragon". He tortures his victims, leaving them to be slowly and painfully killed by being eaten by crabs. He serves as an external threat to the Great Houses of Westeros, similar to the threat of the Night King and the White Walkers in "Game of Thrones", and unlike the kingdom's internal politics that dominate the rest of the series. /p> Who plays Craghas Drahar the crab eater?
Actor Daniel Scott-Smith, who previously had a small role in 'Men in Black: International', got his big break with his role as Crabfeeder in 'House of the Dragon'. The English actor looks very different in real life, based on his portrayal.
In the books, the Crabfeeder becomes a direct enemy of Corlys and Daemon, and his ultimate fate rests in their hands. As "House of the Dragon" continues to tell
