History Characters / HowToTrainYourDragon

-->'''Gobber''': You give a BoneKnapper whatever it's looking for and it's just like an overgrown puppy dog.

* DarkIsEvil: The scariest looking dragon seen so far has also been the nastiest, with the first one harrassing the entire village of Berk, including eating several livestock, out of a feud with Toothless and the second one [[spoiler: ending up as the mount of Alvin the Treacherous]].

[[WMG: Both Universes]]

* AsleepForDays: Hiccup wakes up several days after the final battle with Toothless watching over him. In the books, however, he is asleep for days and wakes up [[spoiler: just in time to see Toothless wake up during being burned alive in a Viking funeral, after he goes into a healing sleep coma after badly injuring himself saving Hiccup from the green death, where he then flies through the sky on fire, before extinguishing himself.]]

* [[spoiler: HesBack: As of Cast Out, Part I]]

* NotSoDifference: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed in the series]] with Snotlout. [[spoiler: Alvin was once a friend of Stoick's, making this resemblance even more uncanny.]]

* [[DumbassHasAPoint Dumbasses Have a Point]]: [[spoiler: When Snotlout almost got Astrid killed and was disobeying Hiccup's suspension punishment, the twins pointed out that either he should be expelled or Hiccup will risk loosing the respect of the other dragon riders. Even though they were mostly just trying to take his dragon pen for themselves, Astrid overheard that and was amazed that they had a point.]]

* [[DumbassHasAPoint Dumbasses have a point]] [[spoiler: When Snotlout almost got Astrid killed and was disobeying Hiccup's suspension punishment the twins pointed out that either he should be expelled or Hiccup will risk loosing the respect of the other dragon riders. Astrid overheard that and was amazed that they had a point.]]

* [[DumbassHasAPoint Dumbasses have a point]] When Snotlout almost got Astrid killed and was disobeying Hiccup's suspension punishment the twins pointed out that either he should be expelled or Hiccup will risk loosing the respect of the other dragon riders. Astrid overheard that and said that they had a point.

* DumbassHasAPoint: He might be an idiotic jerk, but in the same episode above, he accurately guessed that Toothless was too [[RevengeBeforeReason listen to proud]] to accept Hiccup's help in fighting the Whispering Death.

* GenreSavvy: When he and the vikings attack the dragon's nest, all the dragons immediately flee from the island. While the rest of the vikings are quick to celebrate their "victory", Stoic, upon seeing Toothless' [[OhCrap reaction]], realized something [[AlwaysABiggerFish far worse]] was on its way.

* CaptainObvious: During the final match of Thawfest, he makes obvious commentary on Hiccup's status, which Stoic tells him he knows.

* HandicappedBadass: He may lack an arm and a leg but that doesn't slow him down when it came to fighting dragons. He even stayed with Stoic to delay the Red Death.

* 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.]]

* TheRuntAtTheEnd: 'Hiccup', in canon, is name traditionally given to the runt of the litter. Also counts as MeaningfulName.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hiccup is a very pleasant person and easy to get along with, but he can be quite terrifying if you piss him off. Dragon taming aside, he displays his anger in "Out Cast Part 1" where he gets furious with Snotlout in regards to getting Astrid in danger, and suspends him from the Academy. The rest of the children were surprised to see him like this.

* CrazyPrepared: Justified though experience. He carries a complete set of spare parts for Toothless' tail fin at all times.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hiccup is a very pleasant person and easy to get along with, but he can be quite terrifying if you piss him off. Dragon taming aside, he displays this in "Out Cast Part 1" where he gets furious with Snotlout in regards to getting Astrid in danger, and suspends him from the Academy. The rest of the children were surprised to see him like this.

* SinkOrSwimMentor[=/=]StealthMentor: After the movie's events, Stoick takes this attitude towards Hiccup and the dragons.

** After nearly getting Astrid killed in a training scenario because he [[LeeroyJenkins refused to pull back]], Hiccup finally had enough and grounded him. He also only avoided Astrid beating him to death because Hiccup held her back in the same incident.

* [[spoiler HesBack: As of Cast Out, Part I]]

** That said, Hiccup has become quite capable physically by Defenders of Berk, facing off with [[spoiler: Dagur the Deranged]] in single combat while [[spoiler: Toothless was trapped by bolas]].

* HeterosexualLifePartners: An interspecies example. With Toothless, a Night Fury dragon.
** An intergenerational example. With Gobber, to an extent.
* HumbleHero: Despite all of the things that Hiccup has accomplished, he doesn't let it go to his head.

* CatchPhrase: From the movie.

* CleopatraNose

--> '''Hiccup:''' ''"I'm the first Viking who would not kill a dragon!"''\\
'''Astrid:''' ''"First to ride one, though."''
* ShroudedInMyth: It's implied (in the ''Portrait of Hiccup'' episode) that no matter what Hiccup does, Viking mythology in the future will portray him as a fearless, tough, fire-breathing badass admired by everyone- because that's what Vikings ''do''. They make awesome ballads out of their heroes' exploits even if they must [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory warp the truth]] to do it. Hiccup finds this exceedingly depressing: he spent his whole childhood ignored and degraded because he ''didn't'' fit Viking standards of strength.

* GracefulLoser: Discussed. In "Thawfest", Astrid said this was his most admirable trait in her eyes when he began acting unpleasant at the thought of winning the games just to spite Snoutlout.

** [[spoiler:ArtificialLimbs]]

* CowardlyLion: In the books; understandable since he's only about ten.
** He takes it even further at the start of Defenders where he is downright ''expecting'' Alvin to be nearly ready to wage war on Berk and its dragons and is devising up a load of counters for every known species. [[FandomSpecificPlot A 180 compared to most fandom expectations of him when it comes to militarizing dragon riding.]]

** [[spoiler: The trailer for the sequel film shows him using a ''fully functional wingsuit!'']]
** In Defenders of Berk, he designs a shield. Initially it simply fires a grappling hook, but once upgraded with Gronckle Iron it would put [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Howard Stark]] and his designs for Cap to shame. Among the functions it has, it can deflect large numbers of throwing daggers and crossbow bolts, fire the aforementioned grappling hook, and also transform into a crossbow.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: As of "The Iron Gronkle", he has a shield made of Gronkle Iron, which is ''very'' tough and ''very'' light.

* TallDarkAndHandsome: See [[ShesAllGrownUp He's All Grown Up]]. ''He became a hunk''.
** TallDarkAndSnarky: ''Then'' watch the trailer for the sequel and know that Hiccup hasn't lost his snark skills.
* TeenGenius: He's the most level-headed viking ''[[{{OnlySaneMan}} in his whole tribe]]''. He's also good at [[{{GadgeteerGenius}} building things]] and he likes learning about dragons.

* LargeAndInCharge: He's the biggest and broadest viking, (400 pounds according to Hiccup, though that may have been exaggerating), and his beard is the biggest, too.

** Then in ''Live and Let Fly'', he catches a rock launched from an Outcast catapult and ''throws it back at the ship''.

-->'''Hiccup:''' ''[sarcastically imitating Stoick]'' Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered an extra-large boy with beefy arms, extra guts, and glory on the side! This here, this is a talking fishbone!"

** His belief for the first day of training in the film is to release a Gronkle, then ask the students what they know about it.

* HugeRiderTinyMount: His Gronkle is far from tiny, but Fishlegs still is about a third of its size. It should be noted that, out of all of the dragon breeds encountered so far that are large enough to be ridden, the Gronkle is definitely the smallest.

[[WMG:Snoutlout Jorgenson]]

* DudeNotFunny: In-universe example. He makes a few jokes alluding to Toothless being unable to fly in "What Flies Beneath". Astrid and Hiccup were ''not'' amused.

* JerkJock: In three media
** In the books he stays this way.
** In the film he's a traditional example but eases up.
** According to "Thawfest" this is due to pressure from his family.

* TheLoad: His only use comes from commanding Hookfang, which he barely has at that. It says a lot that the twins, being the DumbMuscle of the group, are more reliable as the [[TheBigGuy big guys]] than him due to it.
** Zigzagged in "The Defiant One", where his physical strength is useful in fighting off Outcasts, but it would have been avoided if he didn't defy Hiccup's orders.
** He seems to be growing slowly out of this. During the events of "Tunnel Vision", he worked with Astrid to set a trap for a Whispering Death, with her acting as bait and he and Hookfang springing the trap.

** 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.]]

--> '''Toothless''': f-f-f-fish! w-w-want fish! Now!

* 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).

* 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''.

* 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.

* 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.''

Daughter of Big Boobied Bertha, chieftain of the Bog burglar tribe and enemy of Stoic the Vast.

Leader of the Bog Burglar tribe and enemy of stoic the vast.

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

* 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.

* AnAxeToGrind: She is rarely seen without her hatchet. ''Fright of Passage'' shows that this has been the case since she was tiny.

* CallBack: In ''Fright of Passage'', she directly quotes her dead uncle's last words before the [[spoiler: Flightmare killed him]].

* CatchPhrase: "That was for [''insert crime here'']. ''That'' was for everything else."

--> '''Ruffnut''': ''Looks like there's another hen in the rooster coop.''

* 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)

* 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.

-->'''Tuffnut:''' Wait, you mean ''read''?\\
'''Ruffnut:''' While we're still ''alive''?
** EverybodyHatesMathematics: In the TV series, it's shown that they are horrible at counting.

* {{Fearless Fool}}s: One of Hiccup's monologues notes that someone people "don't know when to be afraid."

* HiddenDepths: Ruffnut was able to instantly realize that Meatlug laid eggs and was a girl, before Fishlegs was able to comprehend either.

** When stuck in a trap and left alone with Barf and Belch, Tuffnut becomes suprisingly philosophical with them.
** While trying to save a beached scauldron, Ruffnut bonds with it and keeps him calm as they help him. She names him Scauldy and even [[ImportantHaircut cuts off her braids]] to use as rope when they run out of rope for Scauldy's wing splint.
%%* LargeHam: Tuffnut.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Turns out the two goofballs are just as badass as any Viking from Berk. They were outnumbered by Berserkers and, until the archers showed up, ''were winning''.

* TrueCompanions: To Gobber and Stoic. When [[spoiler:Mildew was driving a mob against Toothless]] they stayed loyal to Stoic because he is their Chief.

--> '''Savage:''' ''"Let's not stick around to find out what it is!"''

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''Savage''

* AxCrazy: He's known to have done several really cruel things to some of the Vikings teens, such as locking Fishlegs in a cage for three days and using Hiccup as a knife-throwing target. This is more apparent when arrives. He later tries to behead half of the twins' Zippleback and in ''The Night and The Fury'' he is actively hunting dragons.

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Stoick was close to flipping out and ''murdering'' him because he was constantly berating his father, even under the threat of a war. Considering he was seeking war, and his surprising amount of intellect, it was likely on purpose.

** As of ''The Night and The Fury'', [[spoiler: he has it now that he knows that Berk has dragons.]]

** Implied no more in ''The Night and The Fury'' where he mentions 'disposing' his father and being willing to do so to Stoick so Hiccup could take control.

* PosthumousCharacter: Implied, if one believed Dagur killed him.
** Confirmed in ''The Night and The Fury'' when Dagur discussing how he and Hiccup had 'fathers who had to be disposed so they could rule'.

* TheJuggernaut: ''Holy shit''. Even the Green Death flinched at Toothless' Plasma Blasts.

** As it gets bigger, it even no sells the types of rock formations that almost got it killed in its first appearance and causes them to shatter into enough pieces it does not have to worry about its wings. It also takes the combined attacks of at least twenty dragons and shows no wear or tear from repeated spine attacks, fireballs, and being rammed by Gronkles.

--> ''"Attracted to the light? That can be a weakness, too!"''
** Subverted when it returns, however, as it no longer is attracted to the light, or at least learned to ignore it.
** ItOnlyWorksOnce

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Dragons in general have ''lots'' of teeth. Generally, the bigger the head the more teeth it has. The current kings, however, are the Whispering Death (which has ''six rows'' of teeth that can rotate like a rock-cutter) and the Snaptrapper (which has four heads, each of which has ''three'' toothy jaws).

* UnreliableNarrator: Several facts about the book are shown to be wrong, including that the Scaldron DOES have venom ("Dragon Flower"), and in regards to some dragon types it knows nothing (case in point: Night Furies).

The iconic Boulder Class dragon, Gronkles are relatively small and sluggish dragons, but extremely tough and strong.

* LimitBreak: In the movie, it is stated they only have enough fuel for six shots. Meatlug and other Gronkles can be seen firing more shots during the series.
* MagmaMan: The Gronkle is one of the few dragons that doesn't directly produce flame. Instead, it gobbles up rocks and mouthfuls of soil and then heats them to a molten state inside its belly. This superheated rock is then spat out at targets as distinctive fireballs.
** With the right rock, it can also produce ''Gronckle Iron'', a lightweight metal that is tougher than period iron and excellent for weapon and armor crafting. Though whether it's a real material under a different name or not is unspecified.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: The primary weak point of the Deadly Nadder is the blind spot in front of its head. To correct for this, it will attack anything that even gently touches the nose or hears something it cannot see. As Gobber said, ''"Blind spot, yes. Deaf spot ... not so much."'' That said, trainers who build up strong rapports with their Nadders are allowed to touch them there.

* {{Badass}}: The fact they strike ''pure terror'' in a culture full of boisterous dragon-slaying vikings is any indication, they are this big time.
* TheDreaded: Vikings will gladly fight any of the other dragons, even ones that can swallow them whole, and have a long and impressive list of kills. If this one's screech is even heard? They ''run for cover'' screaming "NIGHT FURY! GET DOWN!".

* InformedAbility: In the tie-in ads and ''Defenders of Berk'', it is mentioned that Night Furies only have six shots, similar to Gronkles. Toothless regularly fires dozens of shots in a fight.

* WaveMotionGun: Their plasma blasts can do ''serious'' damage, toppling things like the Red Death or sinking ships ''in one hit''.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: A small number of them reside in the forests outside Berk. Despite this, no-one had ever seen one prior to the series (And they have only appeared in two episodes so far).
** Their home island is revealed in ''The Eel Effect'': they are native to Eel Island as they can eat eels without getting horrifically sick. In fact, they use it as fuel for their BreathWeapon.

[[WMG:Scaldron]]

* NothingIsScarier: There is ''absolutely zero information'' the cast has on them in their research notes.

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

* DemotedToExtra: Other than his introduction episode he's had only minor parts. More notable in that he is the Chief's dragon and yet we only see Toothless eating near the family table. Even if he doesn't fit inside the house (his mouth is wider than Stoick's body) you would still expect him to pop up more.
* FireForgedFriends: Bonded with Soick by fighting off a horde of wild boars.
* MeaningfulName: Blending 'Thor' because of Thunderdrom's legendary connection to the lightning god and 'tornado' because of its strength.

** No longer an issue now that Ruffnut cut her hair.
** Except that every episode after has her with long hair...

** Neither Astrid or Hiccup were amused by his mocking of Frozen Fin Hofferson.
* DumbassHasaPoint: He might be an idiotic jerk, but in the same episode above, he accurately guessed that Toothless wouldn't allow Hipccup to help him to fight off the Wispering Death because his (Toothless) grudge against such that dragon and personal pride are too strong to make him [[RevengeBeforeReason listen to reason]].

* LeaderWannabe: When Hiccup is forced to put Toothless back in the cove during "The Terrible Twos", Snotlout tries to use the fact that Hiccup no longer has a dragon to take his place as leader of the Academy. Astrid quickly reminds him that she, as Hiccup's second, will be taking the position. Making it worse is that help tends ignore or argue with Hiccup, which gets them in trouble.

[[WMG:Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III]]

* {{Adorkable}}: There's been plenty of fan gushing at how cute the geeky Hiccup is. This should really be expected when he's voiced by Creator/JayBaruchel.
* AesopAmnesia: In "Terrible Two", he causes problems because he trusted a strange dragon over Toothless. He didn't learn his lesson because in "Heather Report", he trusted a strange girl over Astrid. Downplayed in "We Are A Family Part 2", where he is ''very'' reluctant to trust Mildew but ultimately does so. [[spoiler: Like the previous occasions, this is a horrible idea because Mildew used him to learn dragon training which he passed onto Alvin.]] A storyboard of an unused intro by Hiccup says this has less to do with amnesia and more to do with Hiccup simply being too trusting.
* AlliterativeName: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. It's [[AllThereInTheManual never said in full]] in the movie but it's canon.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Nobody likes him; he's the village pariah because he's scrawny and usually messes everything up. In keeping with the trope, things get better for him after he ends the Dragon Wars.
* AmazonChaser: A large part of his crush on Astrid is because of her ActionGirl-ish qualities. Take a look at her introduction: she's fighting dragons amid flames and Hiccup has the 'hearts in his eyes' expression.
* [[spoiler: ArtificialLimbs: Hiccup loses his left foot during the battle with the Green/Red Death in the movie. It's replaced with a metal prosthetic. Leads to AngstWhatAngst as he seems to adjust to it very quickly; in the series other characters make a bigger deal out of it than he ever does.]]

* AsleepForDays: Hiccup wakes up several days after the final battle with Toothless watching over him.
* ArcherArchetype: Though he is on the warmer side of the things compared to colder examples of this trope.

** BadassBookworm: Hiccup develops into one through the story and may become a full-fledged GadgeteerGenius.

** BadassOnPaper: He looks like a scrawny teenage kid with a knack for inventing, but he ''did'' create the art of dragon taming, ended the war, and instigated the demise of the Red Death.
** BadassTeacher: Slowly becoming the second part as the main teacher of the Dragon Academy.
** UnderestimatingBadassery: A lot of people tend to think Hiccup is just the scrawny, nerdy, weirdo...then they actually see him in action.
* TheBeastmaster: He learns how to tame and train dragons.
** FluffyTamer: While giving them names like 'Toothless' and cuddling them.
* BigOlEyebrows
* BiggerStick: Discussed. His friends sometimes wonder how much of his success is due to his own skill, and how much is due to being the rider of an absolutely fantastic dragon. Of course, when they attempt to test this by having the group train Terrible Terrors, Hiccup quickly teaches his to blow things up with impressive accuracy.
* BlackSheep: In the movies, as an inventor and scientist in a society of warriors.
** BornInTheWrongCentury: In the 21th century [[RealLife here]], Hiccup might be bullied, but at least he'd have [[{{Geek}} a niche in society where he belonged]], and his intelligence would be recognized. In the films' setting, he's treated as a child [[spoiler: and disowned by his family and tribe for trying to train a particular species of animal instead of killing it on sight.]] Instead, he has to make his own niche.

* BraidsOfAction: Gets these in the sequel.
* BrainyBrunette: In the film and TV series.
* BreakoutCharacter: Along with Toothless. The fans fell in love with him. His humor, {{Adorkable}} nature, his life in the village, inventiveness, bond with Toothless, and general NiceGuy attitude. They loved it all.
* ButtMonkey: In the books to almost everyone else ''because'' he was born to the chief of the village. He feels very inadequate compared to the tough warriors he's descended from.
* CatchPhrase: From the movie.
** "Thank you for summing that up."
** "You just gestured to ''all'' of me."
* ChickMagnet: Hiccup has won the affections of both Astrid and Ruffnut, the former who he started a relationship with. Hiccup has the largest female fanbase of the entire cast, except maybe [[BadassAdorable Toothless]].

* CleopatraNose
* CowardlyLion: In the books; understandable since he's only about ten.
* CrazyPrepared: Justified though experience. He carries a complete set of spare parts for Toothless' tail fin at all times.
** He takes it even further at the start of Defenders where he is downright ''expecting'' Alvin to be nearly ready to wage war on Berk and its dragons and is devising up a load of counters for every known species. [[FandomSpecificPlot A 180 compared to most fandom expectations of him when it comes to militarizing dragon riding.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: It's such a defining trait, being held hostage by Alvin doesn't stop him from dishing it out. A lot of the series' funny moments is mostly him and his often witty one-liners.
* DorkKnight: Hiccup is a SociallyAwkwardHero who became the top contender for {{Badass}} in Berk.
* DragonRider: The very first.
--> '''Hiccup:''' ''"I'm the first Viking who would not kill a dragon!"''\\
'''Astrid:''' ''"First to ride one, though."''
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Alvin couldn't believe that the famous "Dragon Conqueror" was 'Stoick's little embarrassment'.
** ShroudedInMyth: It's implied (in the ''Portrait of Hiccup'' episode) that no matter what Hiccup does, Viking mythology in the future will portray him as a fearless, tough, fire-breathing badass admired by everyone- because that's what Vikings ''do''. They make awesome ballads out of their heroes' exploits even if they must [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory warp the truth]] to do it. Hiccup finds this exceedingly depressing: he spent his whole childhood ignored and degraded because he ''didn't'' fit Viking standards of strength.
* FatherIDontWantToFight: Zig-zagged. Initially he wanted to kill dragons, then lost his nerve but still wanted to make his dad proud.
* FreudianTrio: With [[spoiler: his parents, Stoick and Valka. He is the Supergeo to his father's Ego and mother's Id.]]
* FriendlessBackground: Except for Gobber, Hiccup had no friends, that change during the course of the first movie.
* GadgeteerGenius: He can make an interlocked tail fin for Toothless centuries ahead of when such technology was possible. This may be a reference to the books, where Vikings have fully-operational STEAMSHIPS, hot-air balloons and gliders well before the Industrial Revolution.
** [[spoiler: The trailer for the sequel film shows him using a ''fully functional wingsuit!'']]
** In Defenders of Berk, he designs a shield. Initially it simply fires a grappling hook, but once upgraded with Gronckle Iron it would put [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Howard Stark]] and his designs for Cap to shame. Among the functions it has, it can deflect large numbers of throwing daggers and crossbow bolts, fire the aforementioned grappling hook, and also transform into a crossbow.
* GracefulLoser: Discussed. In "Thawfest", Astrid said this was his most admirable trait in her eyes when he began acting unpleasant at the thought of winning the games just to spite Snoutlout. wants him to be an ActionHero, but Hiccup is muc
