 100. Yuyutsu    (He was the son of Dhritarashtra by a Vaishya maid, but is often counted among the 100 children, making him a half-brother to the others. He was the only son of Dhritarashtra who sided with the Pandavas and survived during the Kurukshetra War. Later, when the Pandavas decided to retire from the world and start their journey to swarga (divine), Yudhishthira gave the charge of supervising the kingdom while Parikshit was made the King.)

It's important to note that while the epic states there were 99 sons and one daughter, only a handful of these sons play significant roles in the narrative beyond Duryodhana and Dushasana.
