Honestly, I don't see this dragon as an idiot, probably tricked into entering the depths of Blackreach by the dwarves for their own purposes, such as a potential power supply for the Aetherium Forge. And just in case someone wants to argue that he's dumb for trying to fight you on the ground where the dragonborn has the advantage; flying in Blackreach, at this day and age, would put him at a disadvantage. The giant mushrooms, numerous rock formations, and dwarven structures that dominate the area would pose challenging obstacles for a flying creature the size of a dragon; these obstacles are made all the more challenging and dangerous by the persistant fog that covers the area. Vulthuryol chooses risking open combat on the ground, rather than the risk of colliding with a potentially large, and very solid object mid-flight. it's the lesser of two evils.
