* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'': He's fast, agile, nearly invisible at night, and has the most powerful breath weapon of any species of dragon. He belongs to the most feared species of dragon known, the Night Fury, described in the Book of Dragons as "the unholy offspring of Lightning and Death". No Viking has ever seen one and lived. Hiccup chooses to name him ... "Toothless," because of his retractable teeth.

This trope happens when the lifeform breaks out of containment, threatening not only the crew but all life on Earth.
