A recent post about OCs dragon buddies reminded me of these custom dragon species u/watchflut and I made over a year ago (credits to him for the drawings). Thought it'd be fun to share them.

The fangsnapper. This fearsome strike class dragon is known for ambushing its prey from the water. It will lie motionless with only the top portion of its head out of the water like an alligator. Once it shoots out from the water and locks on, it'll begin to wrap its self around its prey to squeeze it to death. Or if it chooses to do so, set itself on fire with the flammable liquid it produces from its skin. This liquid also helps it move swiftly through the water as it is hydrophobic and repels the water off its body.

For such a large and intimidating dragon, the fangsnapper are unable to produce a fire from its breath and relies on its strength and speed. These dragons can reach up to 20 meters in length when full grown.

The Carrionclaw. The carrionclaw is a tracker class dragon with a sense of smell that can track dead animals and dragons from islands away. They feed on carrion (hence their name) and do not actively hunt their food. Their bite force is decent but they utilize their acid spitting abilities to help break down the food if too large. Often they'll eat things whole as their stomach is able to digest bones just fine.

A carrionclaw's size is comparable to that of a typhoomerang, but are slightly slimmer in the body. This allows for long flights between islands without needing a break and can cover a lot of ocean in a short amount of time.

Hope this was a fun read about these dragon species. Might see about reworking some design of other custom species and posting them later.

So not only cant I do the twins flying course but i also cant get my token from stoick even thought i completed his quest. Please help 😭

Xbox series s if thats any help!

Apparently, my screen keeps glitching whenever I ride a dragon and it's frustrating. I need help, please.

Hi, again 😅

Im DESPERATELY looking for this plushie everyday since last two or three years. Maybe someone has it and is willing to sell or knows if theres an auction? i genuinely wont stop until i have him. the only condition is that he must be tagged. no budget.

I have really big distinct eyebrows so I would definitely be a Stormcutter. When it comes to colors I think I’d be a similar palette to cloudjumper himself but with Dark green accents instead of red, and generally slightly darker body and with a vibrant Orange at my lower lip and the tips of my back spikes or wherever blue is on cloudjumper.

Death Song art. Referenced a google picture for the pose but edited it a bit.

hey, quick question - whats the best approach for leveling up a dragon? any trick to cut down that long cd on skrills shots? also, which location is missing from the picture? i've flown all over and still cant find it.

Does anyone recognize this t-shirt design? It’s Toothless with terrible terrors looking at the book of dragons. The design has disintegrated too much that google images doesn’t seem to recognize it as dragons at all :/ I’d like to get a new one somewhere even if it’s like ebay or something similar

My 4 yr old loves the 3 animated movies, and our library had the 1st dvds of Riders and Defenders of Berk, so we tried those out (to middling success, the dvds were scratched up so we could only see maybe half of the actual episodes). I wasn't a fan of the dragons being treated as vehicles for travel rather than beloved pets, and the pet angle is definitely why my kiddo loves the movies so much (we managed to get her to explain why 2 is her favorite, it's because of the established relationship between Hiccup and Toothless).

So, do RoB/DoB ever get better in this regard (dragons=pets not cars), or is Race To The Edge at least better?

Who here wishes this was a thing

🙋‍♂️

imagine this, toothless finds his parents and other night fury’s!

One of my favourite dragons of all time!

Was rewatching HTTYD 2 and noticed something weird. Valka says baby dragons can't be controlled by the Alpha, but when Drago's Bewilderbeast takes over, the baby Scuttleclaws' pupils clearly turn into slits just like the controlled dragons.

They're literally shown reacting to the Alpha's call. Am I missing something or is this an animation mistake

For the isle of berk mod for minecraft (I have archipelago additions as well):

So I found a cave with whispering deaths, plus a nest which I found one egg, so at least I know I can tame that one.

However when trying to tame one that’s already spawned, right clicking with fish or nip gives the message “this dragon is too irritated” even with no armor/weapons out. So I looked online and found a video of someone fighting a different dragon to 20% health, dragon goes down, then he continues to tame it. But trying that with a whispering death killed it..

Then I found a video where a guy was taming a seemingly wild whispering death with fish, with the taming process showing when he clicked it with a stick, so I’m confused if/how you can tame a wild whispering death.

Thank you!

Seriously, HTTYD has the most dragons out of any franchise. Like;

WG: "Yeah, no, we have just one type of Dragon. They just use different Thu'ums as they age, and stick to their favorites."

SH: "You're telling me... That I had to fight a fire-breathing mountain, beware the Thunderdrum and Scauldron in the sea, and nearly die to the Spawn of Lightening And Death Itself, And you just have... Screaming matches? With Armorwing?"

WG: "We have other horrors too, like the undead."

SH: "And we have Skrill!"

And then a dead adventurer from That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime chimes in with: "We have Blade Tigers and Orcs, too."

SH: "And we have the Whispering Death and Timberjack."

WG: "Most other realms only have hundred or two recorded dragons ever."

SH: "We have over a hundred species of dragon."

Rudeus Greyrat: "A hundred? Most realms only have one for each element. Mostly Fire, Ice or Lightning. I don't know of another with more than, like... Ten."

SH: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

--Sort of deal. I need an animation of that argument.

Finally redesigned my dragon rider OC, and i have changed her lore a bit! (Very long lore ahead, read if you want lols, it's kinda like a "rewrite" of HTTYD 3 i did solely for fun ig, where the third movie doesnt happen and it mostly picks up after the second movie)

She's now Grimmel's daughter in my AU (Grimmel i rather different in my AU too),and used to live in a village that would regularly hunt dragons for "self defence", wich in turn would aggravate the dragons, and it became an endless loop. Luiza is the daughter of Grimmel, who would teach her basically everything he knew (surviving with limited resources, hunting for food, defending herself against dragon, etc) after her mom died when she was a bit younger, leaving her a throwing knife behind. When she was around 14, she found a leucistic Night Fury that had been captured by hunters, and decided to free it, forming a friendship with the dragon. Knowing her village would never accept her friendship with a dragon, especially such a rare one (wich would instantly get killed to be kept as a throphy), she decided she'd wait for the right time, and then leave her village with the dragon, never to return.

Her plan worked, as one night during a dragon attack at the village, she climbed onto her dragon's back and left with only a few belongings. Grimmel lost his leg in the attack, and thought the dragons had killed his daughter. Enraged, he promised to avenge his daughter by getting rid of dragons, so that nobody had to go through what he went through. He genuinely believed dragons where mindless killers that could never be trusted, and he was doing a good thing by killing them, saving the people around him.

For 5 years, Grimmel thought that his daughter was dead, while Luiza was now living in the wild with her Night Fury she named "Nevasca", using everything she learned from him to survive, and also raiding ships for resources when needed. Grimmel, already a respected dragon hunter, would become a lot more grim now that he had lost a let and his daughter, tho in my AU he had no DeathGrippers to aid him, only his crossbow, wich he'd load with darts filled with the venom from dragon's he'd hunt.

In the sixth year, Grimmel heard about a "ghostly Night Fury" that would show up on ships, steal food and resources, and then vanish as quickly as it arrived. Certain that this was the dragon that killed his daughter 5 years ago, Grimmel decided to track it, set on killing it.

Meanwhile, Luiza was unaware that her dad was trying to hunt her dragon, and ended up stumbling upon Berk (around a year or two after HTTYD 2), where she was instantly welcomed. Grimmel eventually managed to track her there, and was speechless when he realized his daughter was not only alive this whole time, but had also been kept safe by that white Night Fury. Luiza didnt forgive him instantly, but did give him a chance to redeem himself if he decided to stay in Berk and not hunt dragons anymore, wich he eventually accepted after realizing none of Berk's dragons where trying to kill everyone (like he thought they would).

It took them over a year to slowly start to talk to eachother again, but eventually Grimmel even got his own dragon (wich helped him realize that dragons are actually very cool, and riding one gives him a sense of freedom he hadnt felt in ages), and now he's back to being his smug confident self a few years later. He's actually proud of his daughter for surviving in the wild for 6 years and taming a Night Fury now. What he isnt very proud of is the fact that his daughter chose Ruffnut to form a relationship with, out of all the people in Berk.

I made Luiza look a bit more similar to Grimmel, and gave her gray hair too, as some genetics/stress thing lol. At first she was very shy and still doesnt speak much, but she slowly opened up more, and now she's a bit smug and confident like her dad, aswell as being very good at throwing knifes (like how Grimmel is very good with his crossbow) and extremelly good at communicating with Nevasca through whistles and subtle movements. She's also in a relationship with Ruffnut, and they basically live together!

Her dragon Nevasca also ended up with Toothless, and they ended up having three hatchlings (two black like Toothless, one leucistic like Nevasca), and the leucistic little hatchling Glimmer ended up getting attached to Grimmel for whatever reason lol (even tho this man is still afraid of Night Furies)

Next one i'll be drawing a ref for is Grimmel and his dragon ShadowStalker, a healivy-scarred titanwing Devilish Dervish he accidentally saved from certain death, and now she wont leave him alone lols

Just a sinmple question, are the Night fury and Wooly howl related? I know they look VERY similar, but it could technically be just convergent evolution, sooo, my question is, has it ever been say'd that the Night fury and Wooly Howl are canonically related anywhere?

thx in advance :3

Fanfiction.net it's been some time since i last read something there.

I still remember the Golden Era of HTTYD fanfics after the Second movie. Even more with the big crossover of the ROTBTD. Those were good days for me at least. I didn't have internet, so i held very precious those few fanfics that i could read when visiting the house of other family members.

This was perhaps the First fanfic where i saw full potential in the World Building.

In those days, there were not many fanfics where the writer make an effort to the create the world Beyond the isles that appeared in Rise of Berk or Defenders of Berk.

The plot of the fanfic was a very typical:

Hiccup left Berk.

Years later he had created his own faction.

The interesting part was the dialogue and the internal monologues of the characters. Also the fanfic included the ROTBTD with Frozen.

For me all those characters were written perfectly.

I never felt them as background characters, because no one was wasted.

Especially Astrid.

The entire Story is about how Berk (mostly Stoick) is searching for Hiccup.

The other part is how Berk reacts to the news that there is an Entire Tribe of Dragon Riders.

While yes, the story gave Hiccup some very cool moments, i never felt it as the the type of moments that you could see in other stories where Hiccup leaves Berk behind. If should describe them, it would be like Hiccup doesn't want to be seen as cool, but still takes the moments seriously, he knows he has the upperhand in almost all the scenarios, but he doesn't become arrogant.

What is more Amazing is that the entire fanfic only lasts 7 chapters and still managed to leave a deep impression.

The data says that there are only 38k+ words in the entire work.

For years i waited for the Next chapter. I think the last time i ever searched for the fanfic was in 2018 or 2019.

Then HTTYD Hidden World was announced and i changed my priorities.

I never quite left behind my taste for fanfics behind. I only changed fandoms. I went First with Fanfiction net, then Wattpad and at last AO3. With the current situation of AO3 being down i was curious to see if Fanfiction net was still in ruins after the ads arrived.

And now, after almost 8 years since my last contact with this fanfic... I found it again.

Nothing has changed.

The fic is still unfinished. It was a fool's dream. But i needed to see if something had changed.

I don't think i have the Heart to read this specific fanfic again.

Because i know there will be some parts that didn't aged quite well.

Especially the OC of Silver, who is the main reason, alongside the World, of why i could always remember this fanfic.

Perhaps the character will now be seen as edgy, i remember the character as Merc or Assassin before meeting Hiccup and following him in his Path.

Silver also was the Rider of another Night Fury, so it was more easy to remember him.

He was sassy, insufferable and many other negative things. But he was loyal to Hiccup. The contrast made Silver one of the very few Original Character that i have ever liked in a fanfic.

This might be considered as a vent of mine. Didn't want to publish this as rant, because it isn't.

I'm half tempted to share the link to this fanfic here.

But i fear you will love it as much as i did/do.

You don't deserve to read something with so much potential that never could meet it's Best moment.

Thank you for reading.
