[[WMG: '''Dragons''']]

[[WMG: Horror Cow]]
Fishleg's dragon in the books. A common-or-garden dragon, like Toothless, that is supposedly vegetarian. She is unwilling to kill animals and is a big sluggish to follow orders.

[[WMG: Hookfang]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
* TheDitz: He has shown to be rather... spacey.
** In one instance, Snotlout tries to prove their bond by leaping from Hookfang, who did not notice until Toothless informed him.
** Another time he did not notice Snotlout screaming due to watching a falling leaf.
* RunningGag: Has a tendency to set the pants of his rider on fire. Good thing Gobber has his "iron skivies"!
* TookALevelInBadass [=/=] TookALevelInKindness: At the start of the movie, he was just as angry and Viking-hating as most dragons. In the season 1 finale [[spoiler:he acts to defend a bound Hiccup and Toothless without any order or request from Snotlout.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Sure, he sets Snotlout's pants on fire regularly, but when Snotlout is in genuine danger, Hookfang always comes through. Snotlout himself was clearly distressed when it looked like Hookfang would have to be put down in ''Viking For Hire''.

[[WMG: Stormfly]]
[[quoteright:255:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stormgly_6708.png]]

A mood dragon in the books, belonging to Camacazi and a deadly Nadder in the movies, belonging to Astrid.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Astrid tries to stop Stoick from grabbing Stormfly on the nose, as a Nadder's weak point is a blind spot directly in front of it. Stormfly thinks this trope is happening and panics. That said, Stormfly allows ''Astrid'' to touch her there when she hugs her dragon in "Heather Report" part 2.
* LightningBruiser: Almost as fast as Toothless.
* PowerUpFood: Astrid uses chicken to make her fly faster.
* [[Main/SpikeShooter Spike Shooter]]: All Deadly Nadders can shoot spikes from their tail, but Stormfly does it ''a lot'' in the TV series.
* TookALevelInBadass [=/=] TookALevelInKindness: At the start of the movie, she was just as angry and Viking-hating as most dragons. In the season 1 finale [[spoiler:she acts to defend a bound Hiccup and Toothless without any order or request from Astrid.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apparently, Stormfly will let anyone ride her, provided they feed her chicken first. It TastesLikeFriendship.

[[WMG: Camicazi]]
Daughter of Big Boobied Bertha, chieftain of the Bog burglar tribe and enemy of Stoic the Vast.

[[WMG: Big Boobied Bertha]]
Leader of the Bog Burglar tribe and enemy of stoic the vast.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Her name
* VitriolicBestFriends: With stoic. They fight like cat and dog, Bertha teasing his tribe on their poor burglary skills, but they aren't arch-nemesis.

[[WMG: '''Main Vikings''']]

[[WMG:Astrid Hofferson]]
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/astriud_from_the_drsogn_1392.png]]
->Voiced by: America Ferrera (film and TV series)

* ActionGirl: She's a skilled Viking and originally first in her class. She always takes the front lines in the film. In the series, she's the only one to attack Alvin the Treacherous (Snoutlout chickened out), despite the fact that he's a match for [[StoutStrength Stoick]] and thus way out of her league.
* AlwaysSecondBest: To Hiccup for Dragon Fighting [[spoiler:and then Dragon Riding]]. She doesn't mind it anymore in the series. To Snotlout for axe-throwing - she is very skilled, but it is mentioned that Snotlout always won the Thawfest festival, though if this year is the norm, that can be blamed by ''other candidates'' messing up her throws. This year it is Fishlegs.
* AnAxeToGrind: She is rarely seen without her hatchet. ''Fright of Passage'' shows that this has been the case since she was tiny.
* AngerBornOfWorry: She tends to get very angry at Hiccup when he does something incredibly foolish and not think things through.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Astrid is good at these, first asking Hiccup why he is acting so oddly and discovering Toothless as a result. She then breaks him out of a HeroicBSOD by asking [[spoiler:why he didn't kill Toothless when he had the chance]].
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Hiccup earned his later rank as lead dragon rider by [[BadassBookworm taming and riding Toothless.]] Astrid earned [[NumberTwo hers]] by [[ItMakesSenseInContext threatening Hiccup with an axe when she caught him doing so]]. She retains this role in the series by being the only rider adept at both aerial and ground combat and by being confident and competent enough to keep [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits all the others in line]].
* {{Badass}}: If you can [[spoiler:wrestle a wild Monstrous Nightmare to the ground with your bare hands]], you definitely qualify.

[[WMG:Toothless]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toothy_dragon_4315.png]]
[[WMG: Both Universes]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the books he's a Basic Brown/Garden Dragon, one of the smallest, most common dragon species (the template for the Terrible Terrors in the movies) while in the films he's a Night Fury, a LightningBruiser phantom dragon nicknamed "the unholy offspring of Lightning and Death."
* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice Dragon]]: To say he was hostile to Hiccup at first is an understatement. In the books, he is selfish and mean to Hiccup, eating his food and not listening to him, however in the climax [[spoiler: he flies up a '''big dragonus giganticus maximus's nose, almost killing himself, to save his trainer]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Toothless likes to switch among affectionate, aloof, and hostile at the drop of a hat.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: An interspecies example. With Hiccup, a Viking human.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing stops him from protecting Hiccup; not a cliff, not a chain, not other dragons.

[[WMG: Book Universe]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: In the books he literally has no teeth. Eventually he grows a tooth near the end of the first book (though he loses it in a fight)
* SnarkKnight: He'll snark and let people know it, but he is also extremely loyal and protective of the ones he love.
* PorkyPigPronunciation: In the books. He has a stammer, yet can pronounce words perfectly, which is odd for a dragon with no teeth.
--> '''Toothless''': f-f-f-fish! w-w-want fish! Now!
--> '''Hiccup''': We don't have any fish
--> '''Toothless''': Ok then. Eat c-c-cat!


[[WMG: Film & TV Universe]]
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Or more precisely cats; Toothless's look in the film was inspired by the black panther and he has several cat-like tendencies mixed with canine traits.
* ArchEnemy: With the Whispering Death in "What Flies Beneath".
* ArtificialLimbs: Toothless has a very complicated artificial tail fin made for him by Hiccup.
* {{Badass}}: The premier example of {{Badass}} in this series, aside from Stoick.
** BadassAdorable: A fierce creature that likes having its belly rubbed.
* BerserkButton:
** Don't hurt Hiccup if you know what's good for you--he made sure a ''Monstrous Nightmare'' got the message.
** He ''really'' hates the Whispering Death. Just its presence makes Toothless fly into such a rage to the point he even disobeys Hiccup.
* [[BewareTheNiceOnes Beware The Cute Ones]]: When he's not in battle, he's like a cuddly pet.
* BreakoutCharacter: As soon as people saw the movie, they fell for him.
* CuteBruiser: A cuddly reptile that is also the most feared dragon.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Movie only, where he is a Night Fury, a dark coloured species with a semi-demonic look.
* NonIndicativeName: It's teeth are retractable, not missing.
* {{Deuteragonist}}
* TheDreaded: Implied to be this to (most) vikings by The Dragon Manual.
** NonIndicativeName: In the movies he has a full set of teeth that are retractable.
* {{Expy}}: In terms of face and limb structure, he looks a lot like [[LiloAndStitch Stitch]].
* FluffyTheTerrible[=/=]DeathbringerTheAdorable: His personal name is the former but his species name is the latter.
* GameFace: Toothless extends [[NonIndicativeName his teeth]] when eating or being aggressive.
* GeniusBruiser: Night Furies are the cleverest dragon species.
* GuileHero: Toothless must've been taking lessons on this from Hiccup, as in the season one finale, he stops eating and thereby forces his captors to remove his muzzle to try to force feed him. He immediately hits them with a plasma burst and tears off his remaining restraints, then swats the guards with his tail.
* HandicappedBadass: In the films, where one of his tail fins is lopped off by Hiccup early on.
* [[HappinessInSlavery Happiness In Handicap]]: ''In Gift of the Night Fury,'' Hiccup makes him a prosthetic tailfin that Toothless can control much like he does naturally, so he won't have to rely on Hiccup while flying. After retrieving Hiccup's helmet, which was lost at the beginning of the short, he destroys it because he prefers to have Hiccup as a mount.
** [[spoiler:In the trailer for the sequel, Hiccup has rigged up a new version which can switch between manual control and automatic so Toothless can fly solo. The latter is to accommodate Hiccup's new wingsuit, allowing him to fly alongside Toothless.]]
* InformedAbility: In the movie, Night Furies are said to be the fastest and never miss their mark. In the series, Toothless has missed a few times and Stormfly is said to be getting closer to his speed. Toothless does have a handicap, though, and by and large every target in the film was stationary (relatively or otherwise).
** Likewise, both the tie in ads and ''Defenders of Berk'' states that Night Furies only have six shots. Toothless regularly unleashes far more in a fight.
* MoodyMount: Sometimes he'll decide, on a whim, 'I want to barrel roll' and Hiccup will have to hold on.
* RedIsHeroic: His normal tailfin is with Berk's symbol also painted white on it.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Wouldn't even let Hiccup get on him to let him fly in "What Flies Beneath" because of his grudge with a Whispering Death, even though it meant he couldn't fly and was left at a serious disadvantage.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Toothless is essentially a giant, winged axolotl, complete with "gills" reimagined as an expressive fleshy crest on his neck.
* ShipperOnDeck: The look on his face after [[spoiler: Astrid pecked Hiccup's check in the movie]].
* SilentSnarker: In the movie. He is the most expressive dragon, primarily due to his size-changing pupils. He takes after a certain someone.

[[WMG:The Red Death]]
[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/green_death_blueberry_1632.png]]
* AdaptationNameChange: In the books known as The Green Death. Was, in the movie, a case of NoNameGiven, and as such, this section was previously listed under the dragon's literary name. It was changed after the dragon was referred to as The Red Death in a couple of recent episodes.
* BadBoss: See ImAHumanitarian.
* BigBad: It's the one forcing the other dragons to hunt for it, which drives them to attack the Viking village.
* BreathWeapon: Like all dragons its got one, but its breath weapon is one based on making ''pyroclastic clouds''. Nothing near it stands much of a chance, until our heroes get into the fight.
* DragonsAreDinosaurs: The Red Death looks like an unholy cross between a turtle, an ankylosaur and a large theropod, is as big as Godzilla, and worst of all, it can ''fly''. The overall cast of the monster gives the feel of a leftover primordial dragon, or perhaps even an ancient dragon deity.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first thing this draconian monstrosity does on-screen is swallow a Gronkle whole for not meeting its feed quota. It follows up that appetizer with an entire Hideous Zippleback - ''in one bite.''
* ExtraEyes: Further emphasizing its monstrous appearance in comparison to the smaller, UglyCute dragons.
* EvilIsBigger: This guy is the only out-and-out evil dragon and it's HUGE.
* GeniusBruiser: It's smart enough to know it'd get more food by forcing other dragons to work for it. When the vikings try to escape it after they find its lair? [[YouWillNotEvadeMe It destroys the ships so they]] ''[[YouWillNotEvadeMe can't.]]''
* GiantFlyer: It's as big as a mountain.
* HiveQueen: Lampshaded by Astrid, it appears to have some kind of influence over the dragons even at a distance. One scene implies this when Toothless appears to endanger the lives of Hiccup and Astrid by taking them neck deep into the heart of the dragons' nest for no other real logical reason. This also explains why the dragons don't just leave, [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen because they have no choice]].
* ImAHumanitarian: Perfectly willing to eat other dragons if given the opportunity. This is implied to be one of the reasons they're doing its bidding; if they don't, or fail to bring it enough, it will eat ''them''.
* TheJuggernaut: While the Red Death is chasing them, Hiccup and Toothless fly around, over and under large rocky outcroppings. The Red Death ''plows right through them.''
* {{Kaiju}}: A dragon the size of a truck would generally be considered large in this setting. The Red Death can (and does) swallow those whole.
** In the books he eats a younger version of his ''own kind''. Easy to believe, considering he considers normal dragons tasty snacks.
* LargeAndInCharge: The other dragons are like flies compared to it.
* LightningBruiser: It's astonishingly agile for its size when in the air but still no match in that department to Toothless.
* MadeOfExplodium: It's breath.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Assuming the thing doesn't reach your boats first.
* NonindicativeName: It's more of a sort of blue-grey in colour, though the name may be more to do with what happens whenever one shows up...
** A few rows of its unusual spikes are red in color as well. Maybe a similar case to the [[{{Holes}} Yellow-Spotted Lizard]], picking the least apparent feature for the name.

[[WMG: Hookfang]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
* TheDitz: He has shown to be rather... spacey.
** In one instance, Snotlout tries to prove their bond by leaping from Hookfang, who did not notice until Toothless informed him.
** Another time he did not notice Snotlout screaming due to watching a falling leaf.
* RunningGag: Has a tendency to set the pants of his rider on fire. Good thing Gobber has his "iron skivies"!
* TookALevelInBadass [=/=] TookALevelInKindness: At the start of the movie, he was just as angry and Viking-hating as most dragons. In the season 1 finale [[spoiler:he acts to defend a bound Hiccup and Toothless without any order or request from Snotlout.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Sure, he sets Snotlout's pants on fire regularly, but when Snotlout is in genuine danger, Hookfang always comes through. Snotlout himself was clearly distressed when it looked like Hookfang would have to be put down in ''Viking For Hire''.

[[WMG: Stormfly]]
[[quoteright:255:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stormgly_6708.png]]

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Astrid tries to stop Stoick from grabbing Stormfly on the nose, as a Nadder's weak point is a blind spot directly in front of it. Stormfly thinks this trope is happening and panics. That said, Stormfly allows ''Astrid'' to touch her there when she hugs her dragon in "Heather Report" part 2.
* LightningBruiser: Almost as fast as Toothless.
* PowerUpFood: Astrid uses chicken to make her fly faster.
* [[Main/SpikeShooter Spike Shooter]]: All Deadly Nadders can shoot spikes from their tail, but Stormfly does it ''a lot'' in the TV series.
* TookALevelInBadass [=/=] TookALevelInKindness: At the start of the movie, she was just as angry and Viking-hating as most dragons. In the season 1 finale [[spoiler:she acts to defend a bound Hiccup and Toothless without any order or request from Astrid.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apparently, Stormfly will let anyone ride her, provided they feed her chicken first. It TastesLikeFriendship.

[[folder:Main Vikings]]

[[WMG:Astrid Hofferson]]
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/astriud_from_the_drsogn_1392.png]]
->Voiced by: America Ferrera (film and TV series)

* ActionGirl: She's a skilled Viking and originally first in her class. She always takes the front lines in the film. In the series, she's the only one to attack Alvin the Treacherous (Snoutlout chickened out), despite the fact that he's a match for [[StoutStrength Stoick]] and thus way out of her league.
* AlwaysSecondBest: To Hiccup for Dragon Fighting [[spoiler:and then Dragon Riding]]. She doesn't mind it anymore in the series. To Snotlout for axe-throwing - she is very skilled, but it is mentioned that Snotlout always won the Thawfest festival, though if this year is the norm, that can be blamed by ''other candidates'' messing up her throws. This year it is Fishlegs.
* AnAxeToGrind: She is rarely seen without her hatchet. ''Fright of Passage'' shows that this has been the case since she was tiny.
* AngerBornOfWorry: She tends to get very angry at Hiccup when he does something incredibly foolish and not think things through.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Astrid is good at these, first asking Hiccup why he is acting so oddly and discovering Toothless as a result. She then breaks him out of a HeroicBSOD by asking [[spoiler:why he didn't kill Toothless when he had the chance]].
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Hiccup earned his later rank as lead dragon rider by [[BadassBookworm taming and riding Toothless.]] Astrid earned [[NumberTwo hers]] by [[ItMakesSenseInContext threatening Hiccup with an axe when she caught him doing so]]. She retains this role in the series by being the only rider adept at both aerial and ground combat and by being confident and competent enough to keep [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits all the others in line]].
* {{Badass}}: If you can [[spoiler:wrestle a wild Monstrous Nightmare to the ground with your bare hands]], you definitely qualify.
* BerserkButton:
** Do not try to harm [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Hiccup]] or her dragon Stormfly.
** Before her defrosting, do not outshine her in training when you have been the worst in the class beforehand.
* BraidsOfAction: A shoulder length braid.
* BloodKnight: A more child-friendly example. She's fearless and enjoys the respect that other villagers give her for being good at fighting but she takes battle seriously and is the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] among the riders.
* CallBack: In ''Fright of Passage'', she directly quotes her dead uncle's last words before the [[spoiler: Flightmare killed him]].
* CanonForeigner: Present only in the movies and T.V. series.
* CassandraTruth: She figured out [[spoiler:Heather's schemes]]. Hiccup thought she was overreacting and everything else thought she was [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous]].
* CatchPhrase: "That was for [''insert crime here'']. ''That'' was for everything else."
* CrazyPrepared: If knocked out of the saddle onto Stormfly's tail, Astrid has trained Stormfly to do a tail flip which launches Astrid back within seconds.
* CuteBruiser: Especially when her sweet side kicks in.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has her moments and especially when Snotlout is hitting on her.
* DeathGlare: Astrid gives one to Hiccup when he's chosen over her as the champion of dragon training by the Elder, and a couple more to [[spoiler:Heather]].
* DefrostingIceQueen: When we see her in the beginning of the movie she is cold and distant to everyone, but after she meets Toothless and is taken on a trip with Hiccup, she warms up to them both.
* DudeMagnet: She has both Snotlout and Hiccup gawking over her. Although, Hiccup does have genuine feelings for her, while Snotlout just flirts with her. In the end, astrid chooses Hiccup (see SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan).
* {{Expy}}: Of Camicazi from the books.
* FreudianSlip: "Just because she's beautiful, people think she's not tough. But that doesn't mean you should underestimate me. Uh--her."
* GaussianGirl: Astrid's first appearance, as part of an UnflinchingWalk [[OutrunTheFireball away from a burning house]] in SloMo. The heat waves probably helped.
* GenkiGirl: Not a traditional example, but when Astrid is focused on something, she'll see it gets done with all her strength.
* GenreSavvy:
** In-film, she is suspicious of the worst-performing student suddenly rising to the top of the class and investigates Hiccup accordingly.
** In the series, [[spoiler:She is suspicious about the conditions surrounding Heather's back story, and gets more so once she spots her out in the middle of the night. She ends up being correct on her status as being a threat.]]
* GirlyBruiser: If her performing acrobatic jumps on the back of her dragon is any indication.
* GreenEyedMonster:
** In the movie, she is furious when Hiccup surpasses her in the dragon academy.
** Accused of it by Ruffnut in "Heather Report" when Hiccup takes a different girl for a ride on Toothless.
--> '''Ruffnut''': ''Looks like there's another hen in the rooster coop.''
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: See JerkWithAHeartOfGold and the fact she has beautiful, blonde hair.
* HotBlooded: She kind of has to be this with the life she and the other vikings on Berk have.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: According to Ferrera, Astrid follows the mindset of a competitive reality show contestant.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She means well in that dragon combat ''is'' a daily matter of life and death in Berk, but she is very prideful and can be rather arrogant. She TookALevelInKindness in the movie, and kept it in the series where she is never outright rude - at worst she can be a DeadpanSnarker.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Does so to Snotlout in ''Fright of Passage''.
--> '''Snotlout''': ''"When the Flightmare comes, the Hofferson's freeze. Right, Astrid? You are a-"'' (Astrid hurls a greataxe that almost kills him) ''"Hofferson..."''
--> '''Fishlegs''': ''"Legend has it that the Flightmare is so terrifying it actually freezes its prey in their tracks."''\\
'''Snotlout''': ''"Yeah, just ask Frozen Fin Hofferson, right Astrid?"'' (Astrid slams him into the ground and puts her boot on his face)
* LadyLegionnaireWear: Astrid's pteruges. It is the trope image.
* TheLancer: To Hiccup, both at the Dragon Academy and life in general. While Hiccup has Geek Physique, she is the picture of an ideal viking warrior; aggressive, strong and skilled in combat.
* {{Leitmotif}}: An excerpt from "Romantic Flight" plays during her introduction; violins are also a recurring instrument for her.
* LethalChef: For all her fighting talents, it would seem Astrid ''cannot'' cook. In ''Gift of the Night Dragon'', her Yaknog is so bad that even Hiccup (who swallowed raw, regurgitated fish) spat the stuff out.
* MasterOfDisguise: [[spoiler:She's able to pass herself as Heather when infiltrating the Outcasts and manipulate them into giving her the book of dragons and a dragon to escape on. It would have worked, except that the real Heather wasn't lying about her parents being held prisoner.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Astrid" is an old Norse name meaning "Divine Beauty". Hiccup is clearly awestruck during her introduction in the movie, and Snoutlout also tries to get her attention. Astrid is also partnered with a Deadly Nadder, the most beautiful dragon species.
* NumberTwo:
** In the movie, this is Astrid's role in the climactic battle; directing the rest of Hiccup's flying corps in the fight against the Red Death while Hiccup tries to free Toothless.
** In the series, this is her position in the Dragon Academy because she's the second most skilled and no one's brave enough to tell her otherwise.
* OnlySaneWoman: Compared to the other trainees in the film, she is the only one to keep her cool and not lose herself to some quirk or another. This extends to the television show, usually sharing it with Hiccup (most of the time).
* PeekABangs: As pointed out in the DVD commentary, her pushing back her bangs later on in the story signifies her being open with her feelings, especially around Hiccup.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Is seen carrying a sheep on her shoulders about the same size as one which Snotlout is carrying.
* RelationshipCeiling: Her relationship with Hiccup is held back in the TV show, although the ShipTease is rampant.
* SecretKeeper: Briefly in the movie: she figured out Hiccup was going off somewhere and agreed to keep Toothless a secret.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Hiccup is an AllLovingHero and she explictly stated in "Thawfest Games" that one of the things she admired most about him was [[GracefulLoser modesty in defeat]].
* SlapSlapKiss: Applies this literally to Hiccup; see Catch Phrase.
* {{Tomboy}}: An odd example because Berk is the land of [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy dragon killing vikings.]] A rough attitude and enjoying competition is ''normal'' in such a place and so would be expected.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A in the movie; tsuntsun to everyone with deredere emerging later. In the series she mellows into type B. A typical example there would when an event touches on her affection for Hiccup she'll blush and then punch his shoulder as if to deny it.
** A less-than-typical example occurs in "The Thawfest Games." [[spoiler:After calling Hiccup out on being a bad winner, she punches his shoulder and then kisses him for doing the right thing; letting Snotlout win and keep his family's tradition.]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She doesn't take kindly to threats against Hiccup.
* WeaponOfChoice: She ''really'' loves using her axe.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: Seeing this while on Toothless with Hiccup helps her realize dragons are not the chaotic evil she had been raised to believe and Hiccup had deeper hidden depths than she realized.

[[WMG: Alvin The Treacherous]]
[[quoteright:209:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_alvin_evil_intentions_7765.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/MarkHamill

TheLeader of a tribe of Outcasts and serves as the other villain of ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk''. He seeks to learn the arts of dragon taming. [[spoiler: Which happens as of the "We Are A Family" season finale]].

* ArtificialLimbs: Get these in the book.
* {{Badass}}: One of the few people who can fight evenly with Stoick.
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: In the two part season finale, "We Are A Family" he sets one up to not only capture Hiccup but trick him into training Mildew how one bonds with dragons, so Mildew can train him in return. This relies not only on Hiccup's trusting nature but Alvin's own tendency to betray people.]]
** [[spoiler: He continues into Defenders, where he shows up near Berk's shores, ''knowing'' the riders would react and leave the island ready for his real ploy of planting Death Whisperer eggs]].
* [[spoiler: TheBeastmaster: Can tame dragons as of Part 2 of "We Are A Family" season finale. He picks a Whispering Death]].
* BigBad: With his introduction, he becomes a clear and constant background threat to Berk, making various {{Evil Plan}}s to take Hiccup or what he knows for his own people. [[spoiler: As of Part 2 of "We Are A Family", Mildew is working for him so he is now the undisputed head villain of the series.]]
** As of ''View to a Skrill'', [[spoiler: he has been replaced with Dagur after being on the receiving end of many biggajoules of lightning from the Skrill.]]
* TheChessmaster: This guy has shown his intellectual prowess and is one of the few who rivals [[GuileHero Hiccup]], [[MagnificentBastard sometimes surpassing it]].
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy:
** Unlike Mildew, he embraces the potential Dragons can bring (for more nefarious reasons). [[spoiler: This is why he sends Heather to act as TheMole in order to obtain the book to learn taming ''and'' exploiting the weaknesses of the other dragons]].
** He is willing to listen when it is clear something is beyond his skills, like [[spoiler:when Astrid, disguised as Heather, points out the Book only goes so far. When one of his men is nearly killed by a Deadly Nadder despite following the Book's help, he agrees to this fact.]] To test that, he gives it to someone else.
** Later, upon seeing [[spoiler:the Monstrous Nightmare Astrid befriended in his training area comes back for her because of the bond they formed in the brief moment, he realizes he also needs Hiccup to teach them about the bonding aspect.]]
** In "We Are a Family, Part 2", he tries to force Hiccup to train dragons for the Outcasts, [[spoiler:but knows better than to think Hiccup will ever cooperate. Instead, he has Mildew pretend to change his mind about defecting and then trick Hiccup into teaching him the tricks of dragon training under the guise of escaping. Once Mildew fakes capture and the others escape, he teaches Alvin and they begin taming dragons]].
* EvilCounterpart: To both Stoic and Hiccup. He is a wise, but evil chief who leads through fear and a firm hold on power, where Stoic doesn't abuse his power in such a fashion. To Hiccup, who wants to make peace with dragons and possibly a world where all can be friends, Alvin wants dragons to conquer and destroy his enemies. [[spoiler: At the end of "We Are Family Part 2" it is shown the dragon he bonds with is a Whispering Death, Toothless' enemy.]]
* EvilPlan: Force Hiccup to tell him the secrets of Dragon Training so he can take over Berk. [[spoiler:He succeeds by tricking Hiccup into teaching Mildew, who has defected to the Outcasts.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Treats his heinous actions with the same air one would talk about the weather, but nonetheless clearly enjoys performing them.
* GeniusBruiser: Equally clever as he is strong; look at his gambit entries for proof.
* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler:Threatened to kill Heather's parents if she didn't do as he commanded. He also used this on Hiccup with his dragon as the hostage, though that was merely part of a larger ploy.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Also unlike Mildew, any episodes shown involving him are completely serious. The only thing he lacks to be a true threat is the ability to tame dragons [[spoiler: which he learns how to do in the season 1 finale]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Not the Alvin part, but certainly the "Treacherous" as he clearly has little intention of honoring a promise unless he can still get something out of it.
* SmarterThanYouLook: He looks like some vicious thug yet he is brilliant strategist when it comes to getting what he wants.
* WeCanRuleTogether: to Hiccup at the climax of "Heather Report" part 2.
--> '''Alvin''': You know, Hiccup, with this book, your knowledge of dragons, and my knowledge of warfare, we could make quite TheTeam. How does that sound?\\
'''[[DeadpanSnarker Hiccup]]''': Uh... Insane? Demented? Delusional? ''Stupid?''
** Alvin admits afterwards he saw that coming. After all [[GenreSavvy who would trust a guy who earned the name "Treacherous"?]]
* WorthyOpponent: He seems to legitimately admire Hiccup's ability to tame dragons and creating the art of it. He even offered him a chance to join him.
* WouldHurtAChild: Has no qualms about attacking the group, even if they're just kids, and shows glee at the thought of seeing one of them eaten by a dragon.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** Seems to be his favorite line to use, as Savage has commented he tells him that often if he was to fail. [[spoiler:When Astrid disguised as Heather returns to them, he planned to have her killed.]]
** Exploited with [[spoiler: Mildew]]. While it looked like he was doing this, it was actually [[spoiler:a BatmanGambit learn Hiccup's dragon taming techniques by proxy. It ''works'']]. Later played straight when [[spoiler:Mildew's plan with the Whispering Death eggs failed, but Mildew managed to talk his way out]].

* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice Dragon]]: To say he was hostile to Hiccup at first is an understatement.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing stops him from protecting Hiccup; not a cliff, not a chain, not other dragons.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: In the books he literally has no teeth. Eventually he grows teeth near the end of the first book (though he loses them in a fight), and he started out with none because he is a very young dragon.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: An interspecies example. With Hiccup, a Viking human.

* NonIndicativeName: It's teeth are retractable, not missing.

* SnarkKnight: He'll snark and let people know it, but he is also extremely loyal and protective of the ones he love.
* PorkyPigPronunciation: In the books. He has a stammer, yet can pronounce words perfectly, which is odd for a dragon with no teeth.
--> '''Toothless''': f-f-f-fish! w-w-want fish! Now!
--> '''Hiccup''': We don't have any fish
--> '''Toothless''': Ok then. Eat c-c-cat!
* {{Tsundere}}: Toothless likes to switch among affectionate, aloof, and hostile at the drop of a hat.

* SilentSnarker: He is the most expressive dragon, primarily due to his size-changing pupils. He takes after a certain someone.

* OutOfFocus: Has been suffering this as of late in the TV series's second season: ''[[WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk Defenders of Berk]]''

* AllThereInTheManual: the Book of Dragons is this

* CarnivoresAreEvil: There's a certain invocation of this. Canonically, all of the "friendly" species of dragon are piscovores (fish-eaters) and have no interest in animal flesh. Those few that explicitly or implicitly do eat non-fish meat, however, have been villains -- first the Whispering Death, and then the Flightmare, who explicitly eats humans to boot.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: their leader in particular, who breaks free of Hiccup's bola like it was nothing and just [i]yanks[/i] Hiccup's shield off his arm with his tail.

* AxCrazy: According to the Book of Dragons, the Skrill is "Untrainable". Hiccup was willing to try, bt he ultimately settled for just taking it out of the picture.

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Stoick was close to flipping out and ''murdering'' him because he was constantly berating his father, even under the threat of a war.

* AnAxeToGrind: She is rarely seen without her hatchet.

* LargeAndInCharge: The Fireworm Queen is larger than most regular dragons, about halfway between Hookfang and the Screaming Death.

* MemeticMutation: "I GOT [[HarryPotter NEVILLE LONGBOTTOMED]] BY A CARTOON!" is a common phrase on the internet referring to [[SheIsAllGrownUp seeing how he's aged]] from a fairly awkward-looking young teen to a [[{{Bishounen}} pretty]] [[ChickMagnet freakin']] [[EstrogenBrigadeBait hot older teen]].

* DecapitatedArmy: The pack follows an alpha, and will follow it anywhere. The riders exploit this to get them off Berk by capturing the leader.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Considering they're the only confirmed dragons that BOTH can't fly OR possess a BreathWeapon of an sort...

* RaptorAttack: With their super speed and that they travel in packs, they act like Dragon Raptors.

* ZergRush: There are many Speed Stingers, but they only obey the actions of their leader.

* MemeticMutation: "I GOT NEVILLE LONGBOTTOMED BY A CARTOON!" is a common phrase on the internet referring to [[SheIsAllGrownUp seeing how he's aged]] from a fairly awkward-looking young teen to a [[{{Bishounen}} pretty]] [[ChickMagnet freakin']] [[EstrogenBrigadeBait hot older teen]].
