* AcrophobicBird: While fleeing from the mother changewing, the gang continues to fly close to the ground and under the tree canopy rather than trying to gain height to get away from the nests and lose their pursuers or to avoid having to constantly dodge around tree trunks. Hiccup even says they need to get out of the trees, but they do so by trying to exit the forest horizontally -- the thought of simply flying a few feet upwards to clear the treetops never occurs to anyone.
