List of How to Train Your Dragon Characters

---

This is a list of characters appearing in Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon franchise based on the books by Cressida Cowell

Main characters

• Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, III (voiced by Jay Baruchel) – An awkward and underweight Viking and son of the chief of Berk, Stoic the Vast and Valka. Originally, the misfit and outcast of his tribe who sought to prove himself by killing a dragon he instead befriended a dragon, which taught him more about them than anyone. He is eventually made a hero when he ends the war with the dragons, but lost a foot in the process. He and his dragon, Toothless, share the strongest bond of all riders and dragons. In How to Train Your Dragon 2 he becomes the chief of Berk after the death of his father.
• Astrid Hofferson (voiced by America Ferrera) – Hiccup's close friend, partner, confidant, love interest, second-in-command, and eventual wife. She has a strong character, is one of the most courageous of the Dragon Riders, and is very competitive. She has a strong bond with her dragon, Stormfly. She at first remains jealous and hostile of Hiccup during their dragon training and is the first to learn his secret. She eventually becomes his biggest supporter and helps him regain his confidence whenever he is down. During Season 5 of Race to the Edge, Hiccup gives Astrid a betrothal necklace, making them officially engaged to be married. At the end of How to Train your Dragon: Hidden World she and Hiccup get married and later have two children, Zephyr and Naffink.
• Fishlegs Ingerman (voiced by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) – One of Hiccup's close friends; has a great encyclopedic knowledge of dragons. He is not as courageous as the other Dragon Riders, but is a loyal friend, especially to Hiccup and Astrid. He has formed a very close relationship with his dragon, Meatlug.
• Snotlout Jorgenson (voiced by Jonah Hill) – One of Hiccup's friends; reckless, quarrelsome, and often seen mocking or annoying the other riders. He has a complicated relationship with his dragon, Hookfang.
• Tuffnut Thorston (voiced by T. J. Miller) and Ruffnut Thorston (voiced by Kristen Wiig) – Male and female fraternal twins and followers of Hiccup. They constantly quarrel and disobey commands.
• Stoick the Vast (voiced by Gerald Butler) – The Chief of Berk, father to Hiccup, and husband of Valka; immensely strong, fearless, fierce, and possessed of shrewd judgement and compassion. He is killed in How to Train Your Dragon 2.
• Gobber the Belch (voiced by Craig Furgeson) – The blacksmith of Berk, Stoick's closest friend, and Hiccup's mentor.

Dragons

• Toothless – An extremely rare, male Night Fury befriended by Hiccup, and the dragon that lost his left tail fin in the first feature film. Toothless has dark black scales, retractable teeth, and the ability to shoot plasma blasts. Toothless also has the unique ability to navigate in dark places using echolocation. In How to Train Your Dragon 2 he becomes the King of the Dragons. In How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World he finds a mate in the Light Fury and takes all the dragons back to the Hidden World to be safe. He later goes on to father three hatchlings.
• Stormfly – A blue, female Deadly Nadder befriended by Astrid. Like Hiccup and Toothless, Astrid and Stormfly display exceptional teamwork. Stormfly and Toothless share a friendly rivalry in most of the competitions Hiccup and Astrid devise. In addition to her magnesium-fueled fire bursts, Stormfly can launch spines from her tail.
• Meatlug – A brown, female Gronckle who bonded with Fishlegs. Because of her husky size and short wingspan, she lacks the aerobatic maneuverability and speed of the other dragons. She and Fishlegs have a very close, nurturing relationship. She also can eat a particular combination of iron ore and rocks and regurgitate a valuable metal known as "Gronckle iron". In How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World, she has a hatchling named Fishmeat.
• Hookfang – A red, male Monstrous Nightmare, ridden by Snotlout. Hookfang has a habit of attacking Snotlout or abandoning him when Snotlout tries to assert dominance and does not always pay attention to Snotlout. In battle, Hookfang covers his skin with his flammable saliva and sets it on fire, without harming himself; this ability is almost never used when Snotlout is riding him.
• Barf and Belch – A green, male, two-headed Hideous Zippleback jointly ridden by the twins, normally with Ruffnut riding the dragon's right head, named Barf (which can exhale explosive gas), and Tuffnut riding the dragon's left head, named Belch (which can ignite the gas). The heads are usually agreeable, but can have difficulty flying when their riders disagree, and sometimes quarrel as a result.
• Skullcrusher – a Rumblehorn and Stoick's dragon. After Stoick's death he becomes Eret, son of Eret's Dragon.
• Grump – a lazy and gluttonous Hotburple ridden by Gobber.
• The Light Fury – an unnamed, wild Light Fury and Toothless' mate. She is introduced in the Hidden World and serves as Toothless' love interest eventually becoming his mate. She is distrusting of humans, but comes to trust Hiccup. She and Toothless later have three hatchlings.
• The Night Lights – Toothless and the Light Fury's three hatchlings born after the events of the Hidden World.

Villains

Film Antagonists

• The Red Death – A gigantic dragon and the tyrannical queen of the dragons. She is the primary antagonist of the first film and the cause of the Viking's war with the dragons. She is eventually killed when Toothless shoots a fireball in her mouth causing her to explode from the inside.
• Drago Bludvist – An insane, one-armed warlord and the leader of a vast army of dragons and humans. He is the primary antagonist of the second film and seeks to gain control of all the dragons of the world so he can conquer the world.
• Grimmel the Grisly – A sadistic big game hunter responsible for leaving Toothless the last Night Fury. He is the final antagonist of the series and seeks to kill Toothless for sport. He serves as a foil for Hiccup.

Television Antagonists

• Johann (voiced by Michael Goldstrom) – A seafaring merchant who occasionally visits Berk and trades mostly in curiosities. Prior to Dragons: Race to the Edge Season 5, he was thought to be an ally of the Dragon Riders. However, in the finale of Season 5, it is revealed that he has been undercover and is secretly working with Krogan to find and control a Bewilderbeast. He meets his end in "King of Dragons, Part 2", when the Bewilderbeast uses its ice to freeze him to death.
• Krogan (voiced by Hakeem Kae-Kazim) – The leader of the Dragon Flyers who works for Drago Bludvist. His overconfidence often clashes with Viggo's patience. When he fails to retrieve a Bewilderbeast for his master in “King of Dragons, Part 2”, Drago has him executed.
• Viggo Grimborn (voiced by Alfred Molina) – The leader of the Dragon Hunters and is usually accompanied by his older brother, Ryker Grimborn. Viggo is less strong than his brother, but for what he lacks in build he makes up for in intellect, frequently tricking and outsmarting the Dragon Riders. In "Triple Cross", he is betrayed by Johann and Krogan and has a change of heart before sacrificing himself to allow Hiccup and Toothless to escape.
• Ryker Grimborn (voiced by JB Blanc) – The second-in-command of the Dragon Hunters and the elder brother of Viggo Grimborn. Ryker is physically stronger and more stubborn than his younger brother. He is killed in "Shell Shocked, Part 2" when the Submaripper swallows his ship.
• Savage (voiced by Paul Rugg) – Alvin's right-hand man and later that of Dagur before he goes on his own in Dragons: Race to the Edge Season 4. In "Something Rotten on Berserker Island", he attempts to overthrow Dagur to become the new Chief of the Berserker Tribe, only to be defeated and imprisoned by him.

Secondary characters

• Alvin the Treacherous (voiced by Mark Hamill) – Exiled from Berk for unspecified treachery (later revealed to be catching innocent bystanders in the crossfire of a dragon attack), he plots to displace his old friend, Stoick. He later becomes an ally of Berk at the end of Season 2.
• Heather (voiced by Mae Whitman) – A mysterious teenage girl found by the Viking youths. Although she was at first introduced for actions against Berk, her true motive, to rescue her parents from Alvin the Treacherous, proved her loyalty. She returns in Season 3, bonding with a Razorwhip dragon named Windshear. She is later revealed to be Dagur's long-lost sister and pretends to be in league with him in order to get close to him and the newly unveiled dragon hunters. She leaves to parts unknown after her plot is uncovered by Viggo. She soon returns, showing romantic feelings for Fishlegs and joins the Dragon Riders. After being with the Dragon Riders for a while, she decides to leave for Berserker Island with her brother, Dagur.
• Dagur the Deranged (voiced by David Faustino) – A villain-turned-ally and leader of the Berserker Tribe. He becomes obsessed with plotting to hunt and capture Toothless. He is later revealed to be the long-lost brother of Heather. After Dragons: Race to the Edge Season Two, he begins to acknowledge the aims of the Dragon Riders and starts to help them, along with his sister, Heather. Later, Dagur becomes a Dragon Rider with a Gronckle he named Shattermaster, and later on, Sleuther, a Triple Stryke that the Dragon Riders had previously rescued. In Season 6, he falls in love with and eventually marries Mala. Though he acts tough and aggressive, he is also rather sensitive.
• Defenders of the Wing – A tribe of warriors who first appear in the episode "Defenders of the Wing: Part 1". They worship dragons as holy beings and are led by Queen Mala (voiced by Adelaide Kane). They are at war with the Dragon Hunters and are therefore extremely distrusting of outsiders. Prior to encountering the Dragon Riders, they know nothing of riding or training dragons, as their culture forbids it. They live on a volcanic island home to an enormous dragon called the Eruptodon. They worship and protect the Eruptodon at all cost, as it feeds on the volcano's lava and prevents their village from being destroyed. Mala later falls in love with and marries Dagur the Deranged.
• Wingmaidens – An exclusively female warrior tribe led by their chieftess Atali (voiced by Rose McIver) who first appear in the episode "Snotlout’s Angels". They care for baby Razorwhips who become their wings until they are old enough to fend for themselves because the adult males of the species would devour the infants and could drive the species to extinction.
