* IntriguedByHumanity: Unlike her brothers who loaf about, Dart is endlessly curious about Hiccup and the vikings, much to [[HumansAreBastards her mother's]] dismay.

* ChangedMyMindKid: She's had next to no positive experiences with humans. [[spoiler:She can carry one to safety, though.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: The Light Fury starts off as understandably distrustful towards humans since she was kidnapped by trappers, then given to Grimmel to use as bait. Her interactions with Hiccup and Astrid (especially the former) has her trying to kill them thinking they were dangerous. However, after seeing Hiccup's selflessness to protect Toothless, [[spoiler:the Light Fury returns the favor to save him. And in the epilogue, while she still won't let a human ride on her, she comes to trust Hiccup, and by extension, his family to be around her mate and offspring]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: How she ended up imprisoned by trappers is not touched upon, but it increased her distrust of humans.

* LightIsGood: As a Light Fury, she has white scales. And while she's hostile towards humans, it's not without reason. And she's shown to be protective and caring of Toothless.

* HiveQueen: Lampshaded by Astrid, it appears to have some kind of influence over the dragons even at a distance. One scene implies this when Toothless appears to endanger the lives of Hiccup and Astrid by taking them neck deep into the heart of the dragons' nest for no other real logical reason. This also explains why the dragons don't just leave, [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen because they have no choice]]. It might be an "Alpha" dragon, just like the two Bewilderbeasts in the second movie.

* TheJuggernaut: While the Red Death is chasing them, Hiccup and Toothless fly around, over and under large rocky outcroppings. The Red Death ''plows right through them.'' It makes its entrance at the climax of the movie through a hole made in the dragon's nest by the vikings catapults that wasn't big enough for it to fit through. It plows through the rock like it's not even there. It takes blowing it up from the inside to kill it.

* NighInvulnerable: Catapults that managed to break down the side of mountain barely even warrant its attention, and even the explosion from Toothless' BreathWeapon, which had been seen breaking rock and steel, did little more than knock it down.

* [[OneManArmy One Dragon Army]]: The entire nest of dragons would rather run than stay in the same place as it, and the whole viking army couldn't scratch it.

* SpannerInTheWorks: To Stoick's entire plan to drive the dragons out of their nest, as he had no idea about this thing.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: A movie lighthearted about [[ABoyAndHisX a boy befriending a dragon]], has a giant voracious murder machine as its main villain.

* {{Kaiju}}: A dragon the size of a truck would generally be considered large in this setting. The Red Death can (and does) swallow those whole. In the books he eats a younger version of his ''own kind''. Easy to believe, considering he considers normal dragons tasty snacks.

* OutnumberedSibling: Dart is the only female with two brothers.

* AdaptationNameChange: In the books known as the Green Death. In the movie, it was a case of NoNameGiven; as such, this section was previously listed under the dragon's literary name. It was changed after the dragon was referred to as the Red Death in a couple of the animated series' episodes.

* Flat character: While It has moments where it Can Think, the screen time it has doesn't give much room for personality, so in terms of character it's little more than an aggressive giant animal looking for food.
* GeniusBruiser: It's smart enough to know it'd get more food by forcing other dragons to work for it. When the vikings try to escape it after they find its lair? [[YouWillNotEvadeMe It destroys the ships so they]] ''[[YouWillNotEvadeMe can't.]]''

* MixAndMatchCritters: Body resembling turtle, tail like an ankylosaur, and has a head resembling a theropod, in addition to its bat-like wings.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: While all the dragons have lots of teeth, it has a far more menacing set since it has a head like theropod.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Assuming the thing doesn't reach your boats first.

* NonindicativeName: It's more of a sort of blue-grey in colour, though the name may be more to do with what happens whenever one shows up... A few rows of its unusual spikes are red in color as well. Maybe a similar case to the [[Literature/{{Holes}} Yellow-Spotted Lizard]], picking the least apparent feature for the name.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: All the dragons in the first film have some cartoonish or outright goofy elements to their design. This thing has none, have a more monstrous dinosaurs like appearance.

* EveryScarHasaStory: The Whispering Death has a scar in the shape of a Night Fury bite. Fishlegs and Hiccup conclude that Toothless and the Whispering Death are bitter rivals engaging in a DueltotheDeath.
* TheBusCameBack: Makes a surprise reappearance, in Race to the Edge, the episode “Darkest Night”, but only in the flashback.
* WhatHappenedtotheMouse?: Disappears for nearly the entire series even after his first appearance. Only to be seen again in a flashback.

* TheBusCameBack: Returns when Fishlegs wanders back into the Night Terror caverns when trying to escape Krogan's Dragon Flyers. This time around, he's managed to become leader of all the other Night Terrors and siccs them on the Flyers at Fishleg's command.

* TheBusCameBack: Makes a small cameo in the spin off game School of Dragons.

A female Whispering Death trained by Alvin, she is also the mother of the Screaming Death. After the Dragon Riders release her, she and the Screaming Death retreat to a remote island to live in seclusion.

A Razorwhip baby that confuses Ruffnut for Wingmaiden, resulting in her having to train to become one.

* LeapOfFaith: One of training missions is flight with Razorwhip baby. Since Ruffnut doesn't have any experience in this, it amounts to this for her.

* WhatHappenedtotheMouse?: Disappears for nearly the entirely statues even after his first appearance. Only to be seen again in a flashback.

A make Whispering Death that had a bad history with Toothless. They are willing to fight to the death. He is the first Whispering Death that appeared in the series and appeared in the episode What Flies Beneath.

* TheBusCameBack: Makes a surprise reappearance, in Race to the Edge, the episode Darkest Night, but only in the flashback.

[[folder:Toothless’Nemesis]]

[[folder:Torch]]
->First introduced in "The Terrible Twos"

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.

A Whispering Death trained by Alvin, she is also the mother of the Screaming Death. After the Dragon Riders release her, she and the Screaming Death retreat to a remote island to live in seclusion.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: While ItCanThink, the screen time it has doesn't give much room for personality, so in terms of character it's little more than an aggressive giant animal looking for food.

* DisneyVillainDeath: A variation. [[spoiler:After Hiccup and Toothless lure the Red Death high into the sky, they [[BodyHorror torch holes through its wings and set it on fire from the inside]] before baiting it into a powerdive after them: only pulling up right at the last moment. Unable to stop [[InertiaIsACruelMistress due to both its gargantuan mass]] and moving TooFastToStop, it plows head-first into the ground and kills itself: its head exploding in flames on impact]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Deathgrippers]]

Deathgrippers are venomous, predatory dragons under the command of Grimmel.
----
* AcidAttack: They can spit acid out of their mouth.

* DisneyVillainDeath: A variation. [[spoiler:After Hiccup and Toothless lure the Red Death high into the sky, they [[BodyHorror torch holes through its wings and set it on fire from the inside]] before baiting it into a powerdive after them: only pulling up right at the last moment. Unable to stop [[RealityEnsues due to both its gargantuan mass]] and moving TooFastToStop, it plows head-first into the ground and kills itself: its head exploding in flames on impact]].

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: However, similar to Bing, Bam and Boom, he's also extremely loud and keeps trying to prey on Chicken, Smidvarg and the other Night Terrors.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: That being said, they're also extremely noisy and cause many problems for the inhabitants of Berk while they're around.

%%* LightningBruiser: It's astonishingly agile for its size when in the air but still no match in that department to Toothless.
%%* MadeOfExplodium: Its breath.

* 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. It got worse when he found out that his mother was looking for Torch, to which Hiccup mistook Toothless as hating him. However once Torch returned in "Zippleback Down", their rivalry seemed to have watered down, but only to where Torch will save Toothless if necessary. They will still batter fiercely while in the presence of Hiccup.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The motivation for his rampage throughout the season [[spoiler:is to find his mother]].
* {{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. Possibly simply an adaptation name change.

* KingMook: To Whispering Deaths, which it can sometimes command.

* RedEyesTakeWarning

* AbsurdlySharpSword: Her tail spikes are sharper than anything man made.

* MonsterSobStory: He was trapped in captivity and forced to fight for so long, he forgot what it was like to be free.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Night Lights]]
Toothless and the unnamed Light Fury’s offsprings. Their names are Dart, Pouncer and Ruffrunner.
----

* HoneyTrap: Zigzagged. Grimmel releases the Light Fury because he knew that Toothless would be attracted to her, and that Furies mate for life. However, unlike most examples of this trope, the Light Fury has no loyalty to Grimmel and is unaware of his plans. And she does become mutually attracted to Toothless, but her following him back to New Berk ''does'' allow Grimmel to capture her, Toothless, and every Berk dragon. At least, for a moment.
