Chapter 18: Twilight Terror: Part 1


Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:

  • Batman Gambit: Dagur "coerced" a trader to lace his spices with infected eel scales and infecting Berk with Eel Pox, knowing that they would send dragon riders for antidote ingredients on Eel Island.
  • Fake-Out Make-Out: Hiccup and Mirabel convince Casita to let them leave by telling it that they were only planning on making out.
  • Internal Reveal: It's here that the rest of the Madrigals find out about Dagur and Bruno's kidnapping when Hiccup and Mirabel try to sneak out to check up on Berk.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Mirabel and Hiccup trying to leave, only for their guardians to "ground" them for their safety against Dagur on the warpath is a lot like the Dreamworks Dragons episode "Live and Let Fly", where Stoick "grounded" the dragon riders to protect them all from Alvin.
    • Hiccup and the other riders heading out for ingredients to an Eel Pox cure reflects the episode "The Eel Effect", with the reveal that Dagur infecting their island as a form of biological warfare being similar to when he used Johann to plant a Smokebreath nest on Berk in "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and Vigo planning on causing a Scourge of Odin-pandemic for a Poison and Cure Gambit in "Buffalord Soldier".
  • Sexual Euphemism: When Camilo claims that they have things to do in the morning, Mirabel sarcastically asks "Oh really? Who?"
