In Book 2, Alvin claims to be a potato farmer (this was clearly a lie, but the fact that the mention of potatoes didn't even get a reaction is puzzling).

They send him out to sea on a burning ship for a proper burial. Hiccup then points out that dragons sometimes sleep for many years and that they have all those symptoms mentioned. Cue the MassOhCrap when everyone realizes that Toothless was asleep after all. Later, when the boat is completely set alight while Toothless is still on it, Hiccup believes that [[KillItWithFire Toothless has burned to death]], but then Toothless flies out triumphantly.
