History Characters / HowTotrainyourdragon

* MissingMom: {{Averted}} in the books, though his mom rarely even shows up there. Played straight in the movie where it's heavily implied that she was killed by a dragon, which explains Stoick's [[HeWhoFightsMonsters attitude toward them]]. She is dead, however, and Hiccup is [[TearJerker quite afraid of forgetting her in Riders of Berk]].

* SiblingRivalry: Torch and Toothless can't stand one another. In "The Terrible Twos", Toothless resented Torch due to how much attention Hiccup was giving him, and it got worse when he found out that his mother was looking for Torch, to which Hiccup mistook Toothless as the jealous one. However once Torch returned in "Zippleback Down", their rivalry seemed to have watered down, but only too where Torch will same Toothless in necessary. They will batter fiercely while in the prescence of Hiccup.

* SnarkKinght: He'll snark and let people know it, but he is also extremely loyal and protective of the one he love.

%%* DorkKnight

%%* TheSnarkKnight

* SelfDeprecation: Often uses his sarcasm to amke fun of himself on occasion.

%%* RedHeadedHero
%%* RedheadInGreen

%%* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: His hair is more brownish, but it still fits.

* ArcherArchtype: Though he is on the warmer side of the things compared to colder examples of this trope.

** SwissArmyWeapon: And it can function as a grappling hook and crossbow.

** They also seem to have a love of exploring, so they tend to know quite a bit about Berk Island, including all the tunnels the Whispering Death hatchlings made.

* [[UseYourHead Use Your Heads]]: They cracked nuts on each others heads while watching lightning rain down on Berk.

* WomenAreWiser: Ruffnut is ''marginally'' smarter than her brother.

* {{Badass}}: It's easily as strong as Toothless, in addition to being immune to his attacks.

* HarmlessFreezing: Can survive decades frozen solid in a block of ice.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Turns out the two goofballs are just as badass as any Viking from Berk. Just ask the Berserkers from "A View To Skrill" who got a beatdown from them

* BucketHelmet: Bucket, naturally, in contrast to his fellow Vikings.

* [[spoiler: BigBad: As of ''View to a Skrill', he has claimed this position from Alvin and taken command of the Outcasts.]]

[[WMG: The Skrill]]

* AxCrazy: According to the Book of Dragons that the Skrill is "Untrainable".

* LightningGun: It's breath weapon. The Skrill breathes out concentrated beams of powerful electrical white fire.

[[spoiler:* BigBad: As of ''View to a Skrill', he has claimed this position from Alvin and taken command of the Outcasts.]]

* CloserToEarth: Incrementally. They're both exceedingly dim-witted {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s, but Ruffnut tends to have a slightly firmer grip on reality than her brother.

[[WMG: Screaming Death]]
->Introduced: "Tunnel Vision"
An offshoot of the Whispering Death, the Screaming Death is five times the size and proportionately dangerous. It gets its name from its dragon-disorienting scream, specifically coined by Tuffnut. [[NothingIsScarier And this dragon is a complete unknown, with no entry into the Book of Dragons.]]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Has the command over several Whispering Deaths and pretty much hands Berk its ass on a silver platter without so much as trying.
* {{Badass}}: Its a variant of the Whispering Death doing a Green Death impersonation; what do you expect?
** TookALevelInBadass: If it wasn't bad enough, it ends up bigger and near-invincible in its second appearance.
* BrownNote: Its scream causes other dragons to become disoriented while commanding the loyalty of the smaller Whispering Death.
* [[PersonOfMassDestruction Dragon of Mass Destruction]]: Can basically cave in and sink '''islands''' without breaking a sweat.
* TheDreaded: In his second appearance, Astrid is ''terrified'' of it.
* EvilAlbino: Every bit as hostile as Whispering Death, but much larger.
* {{Expy}}: To the Red Death. Their names are similar, it has several dragons under its command, is quite large, can shrug off everything, and are antagonists.
* {{Foil}}: To Toothless. While Toothless is DarkIsNotEvil and has a rider, The Screaming Death invokes LightIsNotGood, has no rider, and commands its own dragons.
* GiantMook: It's a larger version of the Whispering Death.
* TheJuggernaut: ''Holy shit''. Even the Green Death flinched at Toothless' Plasma Blasts.
* LargeAndInCharge: Its larger than its relatives and commands their loyalty.
* LightningBruiser: Very fast and agile, can fire like a machine gun, and shrugs off ''everything''.
* LightIsNotGood: A pure-white dragon that is downright vicious.
* MadeOfIron: Rams headfirst through a bunch of rock pillars and then headlong into a giant rock formation, the latter only managing to knock it out for a few seconds. The collapsing rock face damaged its much more fragile wings, however, but it wasn't going to let it stop him.
** 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.
* MakeMeWannaShout: The aforementioned BrownNote, disorienting dragons mid-flight while it screams. But fortunately, it does not cause sonic booms like the Thunderdrum.
* MoreDakka: The Screaming Death shoots fireballs like a machine gun.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Similar to the Whispering Death, but it doesn't have the Langolier-like mouth.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SmarterThanYouLook: Lampshaded by Hiccup when it realizes it was being distiracted from destroying Dragon Island.
* SpikeShooter: Just like the Whispering Death, except they're spikes the size of spears.
* TunnelKing: Just like its smaller counterparts.
** Except as it grows, its capable of bringing down entire ''islands'' from its tunneling.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Played with. Despite being albino, it is attracted to light, instead of retreating from it. But, as Hiccup figures out...
--> ''"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

Originally a baby Typhoomerang (a then-unknown dragon species) that Hiccup discovers, he eventually returns to his mother after a short misunderstanding. He later returns in ''Zippleback Down'', fully grown.

* {{Flashback}}: How his true identity is revealed in ''Zippleback Down''.
* [[ShesAllGrownUp He's All Grown Up]]
* TheBusCameBack
* TookALevelInBadass

* FriendlessBackground: Except for Gobber, Hiccup had no friends.
