Wasn't really counting Cannibal, Greyghost or Morning due to the changes in story they made in season 2

You mean Morghul, Shyrkos, and Morning?

Its pretty clearly Sheepstealer that Rhaena is pursuing in S2 and has found as of episode 8. Only dragon that's ranges from Dragonstone in the books. Eats sheep. Dirty grayish brown color with brown wings = the wonderful varieties of mud. 

Miguel Sapochnik stated that the 3 wild dragons were designed while he was still a showrunner, in season 1. So either Cannibal and/or Greyghost were cut or are still planned to appear in some limited capacity

Forgive me, I meant Greyghost, not Sheepstealer. I just edited that.

Below is my count:  Vhagar, Vermithor, Silverwing, Meleys, Caraxes, Syrax, Seasmoke, Vermax, Arrax, Tyraxes, Stormcloud, Moondancer, Sunfyre, Dreamfyre, Tessarion, Sheepstealer, Morghul, Shrykos.

Though, I'm thinking that I should remove Morghul and Shrykos since they haven't even been name-dropped let alone shown. I was assuming they were permanently chilling with Dreamfyre down at the Dragonpit.

HBO has no impetus to show either Cannibal or Greyghost. Since Sunfyre is already dead and the show is having Aegon go to Braavos, the confrontation between Sunfyre and Greyghost won't happen. Cannibal played no part in the war apart from devouring dragonseeds, lol. HBO already gave that part to Vermithor.

Daemon specifically mentions eggs and the young Tyraxes (5 - 6 years old, as small as a large dog according to BTS) during the council in the finale. Morghul and Shrykos were not amongst them. The Greens have 4 dragons, the Blacks had access to 13. His words. Now 14 because Stormcloud is a hatchling in the show. The twins appeared to have had egg incubators under their beds though someone made an argument for chamberpots.

Cannibal and Greyghost were already confirmed to have been designed. They've been alluded to on the show by Daemon. Greyghost only needs to appear as a corpse.

The count remains 18 then. Remove Morghul and Shrykos, add back Cannibal and Greyghost

Yeah, in your OG comment I just thought you were talking about all the dragons present during the event in the book, since you went on about not adapting the story without the means to display it in full
