* TheSouthpaw: Although it is shown very subtly in the film and most viewers will only pick up on it after a close watching. His left-handness is a plausible reason for the other character's wariness around him, as being left-handed in the past carried a stigma of potential evil with it. Not to mention, it is also an allusion to the book where Hiccup is also left-handed.
