I don't think Odahviing is stupid, he's a boss, he could have taken the whole Dragonsreach by himself if not for the "Dovahkiin" to be there. He killed me everytime I summoned him without doing the main questline.

And as for Vulthuryol, I agree that he's not stupid, maybe he thought Blackreach was an original cave, and it maybe the time when the dragons started to get extinct, but Vulthuryol was a little bit too stupid to fight the Dovahkiin and to get into the ball.

Well, if the Dwemer already caught Blackreach by the time he went there, I wouldn't call him stupid, or a idiot, as I may know (it may not be true though) the Dwemer is very smart and intelligent, they could have set up traps for anyone who got there first, and there's giants in that place, so the giants could have avoided the traps, as maybe Vulthuryol used the traps and killed them all, disposing all the bodies making the land his own, but accidentally got transported into the ball as the Dwemer know their ways of technology. And thats the reason why there is a random giant there, as there was no more traps and dragons don't know how to even create them.
