Turns out, when livestock is carried through the air in a cold winter night by a flying apex predator, it'll be a race to see what kills it faster-fright or hypothermia.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Feeling emasculated by Hiccup's success, Snotlout rounds up some friends and pillages a far-off village. He makes the claim that he did this to honor his tribe and to follow tradition, but when it is pointed out to them that it would reflect poorly not on them, but the ''entire'' village and their Chief, it then dawns on him that this did not occur to him. There's also the fact that the raided village was a ''Viking'' village, meaning that if they come looking for compensation, they'll try to back it up with an axe. Also, the fact that dragons were used, and the fact that Berk's the only place with tamed dragons, means they'll know exactly who's responsible.

They also never consider the possibility that, between being carried in the air by a predatory animal, and it being late in a winter night, the animals in question might die mid-transit, either from fright or hypothermia.

!!Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:
* BatmanGambit: Mildew had tea brewed from dragon-nip, knowing that it would attract a dragon's attention just so he could have an excuse to attack a dragon for "self-defense" (in this case, Stormfly) and delegitimize the new way of things on Berk. Unfortunately for him, Hiccup noticed this immediately.

* EatThat: When Mildew claims that he drinks tea brewed from dragon-nip and that he was justified in attacking when Stormfly was attracted to it, Hiccup collects the tea from the snow and has it melted back down to have him drink from it. Even watered down, Stoick remarks on how strong the concoction is, and Mildew's inability to actually stomach it disproves Mildew's innocence.
* ForceFeeding: Stoick threatens to make Mildew drink an entire flagon of his undrinkable dragon-nip tea if he tries pulling a BatmanGambit (see above) like this again.
