Go To

1A new enemy has appeared and his name is Ryker Grimborn, leader of a group of dragon hunters. He captures Stormfly, and it's up to Hiccup and crew to save her before it's too late. Little do the riders know, Ryker is in league with an old enemy ''and'' an old friend.

4!!Tropes:
5
6* AgonyOfTheFeet: Snotlout discovers the hunters' special arrows by stepping on one.
7* BadBoss: The first action Ryker does onscreen is smash one of his men's faces into a dragon cage that is currently holding a pissed Nightmare.
8* BigDamnHeroes: Hiccup finds Astrid just as she starts to drown.
9* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with Astrid, Fishlegs, the twins, and their dragons all captured by the dragon hunters, and Hiccup and Snotlout are forced to retreat in order to come up with a plan to rescue them.
10* ContinuityNod: The ''Reaper'' from last season comes back and it's owned by Ryker.
11* DidntThinkThisThrough: Annoyed with Snotlout's bickering, Hookfang tries to light him on fire by snorting a small ember at him. This bounces off and causes a small fire that he makes worse when he panics and tries to put the fire out by blowing it out.
12* KryptoniteFactor: Besides dragon-resistant metal cages, Ryker also has Dragon Root-laced arrows that can completely incapacitate most dragons in a single shot.
13* UnderestimatingBadassery: Hiccup actually does this; having only faced enemies with little to no knowledge of dragons, he didn't expect the dragon hunters to know that Gronckles are immune to the Dragon Root-laced arrows.
14* UnflinchingWalk: Ryker has a habit of standing in the middle of barrages without moving a muscle.
15* VillainTeamUp: Dagur has joined up with Ryker and his crew.
16* WhamEpisode: Not only is Ryker in league with Dagur, but Heather is with them too.
