** Seasons 5-6 (primarily): [[BadBoss Krogan]] is the leader of the [[Characters/HowToTrainYourDragonFilmsDragoBludvistsArmy Dragon Flyers]] and second-in-command to Drago Bludvist himself, having been right there at his master's side when he massacred the chieftains of the archipelago. The one whom Drago has entrusted with capturing a Bewilderbeast, Krogan allies in a ruthless BigBadDuumvirate with the Grimborns and later Johann, openly attempting to [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betray]] and kill them all at numerous points. Krogan subjects Calder Cay and Wingmaiden Island to brutal attacks, and at one point, Krogan lays waste to Berk, capturing and threatening the populace to cow Stoick into surrender, while attempting to massacre the captured dragons with a ballista [[ForTheEvulz for cruel sport]]. Easily the cruelest boss in the entire franchise, Krogan kills one of his minions simply for complaining; throws his men dozens at a time to die either in active volcanoes or at the hands of the Bewilderbeast; and at one point vetoes Viggo's option of a quick execution for a failed minion simply for the pleasure of torturing the mook to death himself.

* [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon First film]]: [[MonsterLord The Red Death]] is the dragon "HiveQueen" of the archipelago, and is perhaps [[GreaterScopeVillain single-handedly responsible]] for all hatred of dragons throughout the archipelago. Enslaving countless dragons to its will, the Red Death has forced them to raid villages, kill hundreds of humans, and sacrifice thousands of their own kind to satisfy the Red Death's gluttonous desires, promoting bloody war between humans and dragons for centuries. The Red Death is quick to [[BadBoss punish any dragons]] that do not properly serve it by [[MonstrousCannibalism eating them alive]], and when the army of Berk arrives to stop its evil, the Red Death strands them on its island so it can slaughter them all in a flaming frenzy.

* [[WickedWitch Excellinor the Witch]] is Alvin's equally horrid [[EvilMatriarch mother]] whose silver tongue conceals a heart of ice. Excellinor is first introduced having a sadistic game with Hiccup--whoever guesses the other's identity gets to kill them. When the Viking tribes have a sword-fighting competition to become the King of the Wilderwest, Excellinor manipulates the contest to try and allow Alvin to win, with her exposing Hiccup and his father to condemn them to slavery. Along with Alvin, Excellinor enslaves countless others, falsely promising their freedom if they discover the Dragon Jewel. Excellinor [[ManipulativeBitch manipulates]] Hiccup's cousin Snotlout to bring him to her, then proceeds to have Hiccup tortured to reveal the location of the human rebels. When peace is almost achieved between humans and dragons, Excellinor aids Alvin in stealing the jewel and attempts to unleash its plague to [[FinalSolution wipe out all dragons]]. Even with peace achieved, Excellinor tries a final attempt on Hiccup's life, forcing the dragon Furious to make a HeroicSacrifice.

* [[Characters/HowToTrainYourDragonFilmsDragoBludvistsArmy Drago Bludvist]], a "[[AxCrazy madman without conscience or mercy]]", is a warlord seeking to use an Alpha he abused and tortured into loyalty to enslave as many dragons—-and people-—as he can. When the chieftains of various Viking tribes laughed off his ability to command dragons, Drago had his dragons [[ManOnFire burn them all alive]], leaving only [[Characters/HowToTrainYourDragonFilmsHiccupHorrendousHaddockIII Hiccup]]'s father Stoick to tell the tale. [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2 Years later]], Drago forcibly enslaves all the dragons being kept in a safe haven by Valka by killing their Alpha, before promptly hypnotizing Hiccup's own dragon Toothless into firing upon him. When Hiccup's father Stoick [[HeroicSacrifice takes the blow instead]], Drago glances back in pleasure before commanding all his enslaved dragons to ravage Berk. In other instances, Drago orders failing minions such as [[WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk Krogan]] and Eret [[BadBoss executed for flimsy reasons]]; assassinated the noble King Stormheart and left his daughters as orphans; and burned down the village of a group of pacifistic farmers who refused to join him. Drago acknowledges his thirst for power [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist comes out of its own sake]] rather than a desire to avenge his fallen family and is ultimately one of the few villains Hiccup was never able to reason with.
* [[FantasticRacism Grimmel the Grisly]] is a tenacious, ruthlessly pragmatic dragon hunter and the one responsible for the near-eradication of the Night Fury species. Described as a single-minded predator who adores getting under the skin of his prey and [[TheChessmaster pulling their strings]], Grimmel stops at nothing to finish off Toothless to complete his [[FinalSolution genocide]], and threatens to kill everyone Hiccup loves and scourge his island of Berk should he resist him. [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld Grimmel tries to cow]] Toothless to his control by luring him in with the female of his species, the Light Fury, then threatens the Light Fury's life to force Toothless to corral all of Berk's dragons so Grimmel can butcher them and sell them all off. Grimmel has no qualms torturing and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy drugging dragons]] to force them to his control, keeping his six Deathgrippers loyal by subjecting them to their own venom and feeding them baby dragons. As revealed in ''Dawn of New Riders'', Grimmel briefly allies with the would-be warlord Eir Stormheart, providing her dozens of dragons to [[PlayingWithSyringes experiment on]] and bind to armor that [[AndIMustScream kept them in states of constant agony and insanity]], before backstabbing her and absconding with her research to create dragon shock soldiers of his own.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk Dragons: Race to the Edge]]'':

* [[ItsAllAboutMe Alvin the Treacherous]], Hiccup's ArchEnemy, is a man defined by his greed and lust for power. In his first appearance, Alvin [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates]] the Hairy Hooligan tribe to help him find Grimbeard the Ghastly's treasure, betraying them by going to place them in slavery and letting his tribe eat Hiccup and his father Stoick. Upon escaping Grimbeard's treasure cavern, Alvin schemes with a small party of Romans to kidnap the Hooligan and Bog-Burgular heirs to [[WarForFunAndProfit incite a war between them]] to form a dragon army to claim the treasure from the caves for himself. Alvin later manipulates Humongous Hotshot to kill Hiccup and steal the Fire Stone for him so he can use it to command the Exterminators on Lava Lout Island and let him conquer the Barbaric Archipelago. On Berserk Island, Alvin sacrifices Hiccup and his friends to the Beast of the Berserk forests. Becoming the leader of the Vikings when the dragons trigger a war, Alvin enslaves countless humans--killing them en masse for whatever reason--to find the Dragon Jewel so he can become the King of the Wilderwest. When Hiccup becomes the King of the Wilderwest and tries to end the war between humans and dragons, Alvin breaks the truce by stealing the Dragon Jewel from him and attempts to use its power to [[FinalSolution wipe out every dragon]].

* First book & ''How to Steal a Dragon's Sword'': [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Green Death]], aka [[LargeAndInCharge Merciless]], is a colossal sea dragon who, over a thousand years ago, led the dragon race to [[KillAllHumans eradicate humankind]] before being exiled by Hiccup's ancestor. Throughout his exile, Merciless would sink countless ships by devouring them, and their inhabitants, before drifting into slumber. After being washed ashore on Berk, Merciless [[MonstrousCannibalism devours another sea dragon]] that had also washed ashore with him because it "was full of itself". Merciless then announces to Hiccup that he intends to devour everyone on the island. After killing the Purple Death and being mortally wounded, Merciless [[SwallowedWhole swallows Hiccup alive]]. When he sneezes Hiccup out, Merciless decides to attempt to incinerate him and the others alive, relishing in their terror.
