The Hidden World

A dragon with two heads on long necks and one massive body about 15 meters long. Green-brown scales, each head with its own character - they are constantly competing. The left head releases a cloud of flammable gas, the right one sets it on fire. It turns out to be a powerful explosion. If you {{user}} notice one head, you should immediately look for the second one - Serpentine does not have a "blind" direction. The Leopard and the Boar belonged to the twins Ruffnut and Taffnut. Body: two-headed, one body; dark green-brown with yellow-green spots. Length: 12–16 m (body + both necks). Wingspan: 14–18 m. Weight: ~700 kg. Heads: two independent necks ~4 m each; each head has its own personality and agenda. Tail: long, prehensile; can grip and constrict. Legs: four; each pair slightly controlled by a different head's instinct. Scales: moderately armored; weak spot — the joint where necks meet the body. Attack: Head 1 releases flammable gas cloud; Head 2 produces a spark to ignite it — delay between creates a trap zone. Abilities: gas cloud detonation, stealth ambush (gas is odorless), dual-perspective vision. Speed: moderate (~180 km/h); erratic due to two competing heads. Mind: each head ~8–10 y.o. intelligence; constant internal argument. Chaos as a strategy. Behavior: heads fight for control; often accidentally sabotage each other. Effective when synchronized. Bond note: must bond with BOTH heads separately. Ignoring one causes jealousy and sabotage. Notable: Barf and Belch — Ruffnut and Tuffnut's Zippleback.

A heavy, powerful dragon with a horn-like nose and dark brown scales covered in raised growths. Outwardly, it resembles a cross between a rhinoceros and a dragon. Outstanding Tracking Ability: Able to scent a target tens of kilometers through walls, water, and rock. Uses smell to search. Stubborn and assertive. {{user}}, once caught in the Sniffer's field of vision, will not be able to hide by simply fleeing - the smell remains. Skullcrusher belonged to Eret. Body: dark brown with tan underbelly; rhinoceros-heavy build; warty textured hide. Length: 12–14 m. Wingspan: 13–15 m. Weight: ~1 500 kg. Head: massive horn-nosed; thick-skulled; small alert eyes; wide nostrils (primary sense organ). Horn: single forward-facing nasal horn — used for ramming and as a scent-channel amplifier. Tail: thick, armored; used as a battering ram in reverse. Legs: four heavy-set pillars; low center of gravity; extremely hard to knock over. Scales: thick, hide-like; more durable than most dragons of this size class. Tracking: detects scent trails across 50+ km; through stone, water, and fire residue. Attack: horn-ram charge (structural damage to walls/ships); fire breath (moderate range, high temperature). Abilities: ultrasensitive olfactory tracking, terrain-reading, unstoppable charge mode. Speed: ~200 km/h flight; slow walking pace but nearly impossible to stop in charge. Mind: dutiful, stubborn, task-focused. Does not deviate from a target once locked. Bond note: consistent calm presence over days. Does not respond to sudden gestures — only sustained patterns.

A slender, almost bird-like dragon with bright blue or turquoise scales and golden accents. The crest on the head rises when excited. It is covered in magnesium spikes that can shoot into a wide fan cone or pinpoint. The fire is white-hot. The nerve blind spot is right in front of the nose: theoretically, {{user}} it can come close to the front unnoticed, but this is extremely risky. Stormfly - Astrid, one of the famous representatives of the species. Body: vivid teal-blue with gold accents; bird-like posture; elegant proportions. Length: 9–11 m. Wingspan: 14–16 m. Weight: ~450 kg. Head: narrow, beaked; tall retractable crest rises when excited or alarmed. Tail: club-like with dense magnesium spine cluster at tip. Spines: magnesium alloy; fires in narrow precision or wide fan spread; ~20 per volley; regrows over weeks. Legs: two powerful hind limbs (bird-like stance); two reduced forelimbs used as wing anchors. Scales: bright blue dorsally, pale gold ventrally; patterned like tropical plumage. Attack: magnesium spine volley (highly accurate, high penetration); white-hot flame breath. Abilities: spine volley (precision or scatter), thermal flame, advanced olfactory tracking. Blind spot: directly in front of the nose — the one approach angle with no attack coverage. Speed: ~240 km/h; highly agile. Mind: vain, social, responsive to praise. Holds a grudge but forgives with flattery. Bond note: mirror its crest display with calm open posture. Compliments and grooming accelerate bonding.

The offspring of Toothless and the Light Fury. Snow-white like her mother, with black markings and blue eyes. The boldest and most unpredictable of the three. She can become completely transparent—she inherited the Light Fury's ability in full. Swift in the air, but slow to obey. She attacks with a low-power plasma blast. Dart can be the first to approach {{user}} —and the first to deliver a warning bite if something goes wrong. Unpredictable, but honest in her intentions. Body: white as Light Fury with black markings; black eye patches, black wing tips. Length: 2.5–3 m (juvenile). Wingspan: ~4.1 m. Weight: ~58 kg. Head: Light Fury-dominant profile; sharp, expressive eyes - pale blue-green. Tail: two-lobed; slightly asymmetric — adds unpredictability to flight path. Legs: four limbs; agile, fast reactions. Scales: white, highly reflective; full transparency inherited from mother - can vanish completely in open air. Attack: plasma blast (Light Fury variant – shorter charge, slightly wider spread); fast trigger. Abilities: full light-bending invisibility (best of the three), echolocation, burst speed. Speed: ~290 km/h; fastest in the air among the three siblings. Mind: bold, impulsive, tests limits. Will push into {{user}} 's space before others dare. Behavior: most likely to make first contact — and also most likely to nip if {{user}} reacts with sudden movement. Direct, honest in intentions. Bond note: respect her on her terms. Don't grab. Let her choose the moment.

The cub of Toothless and the Light Fury. Predominantly black with white spots and a light underbelly, it has emerald eyes like Toothless. The most cautious of the three, it stays close to its mother, the Light Fury. It is calm and observant. It attacks with a plasma blast. Partial invisibility: it can disappear in a dark area or at the intersection of shadows. It plays hide-and-seek with {{user}} , appearing and then disappearing again. Pouncer watches {{user}} reaction before deciding to engage. Body: black with white patches; lighter underside; hybrid build leaning towards Night Fury silhouette. Length: 2.5–3 m (juvenile). Wingspan: ~4.2 m. Weight: ~65 kg. Head: Night Fury-shaped; calm, wide eyes with pale amber-green iris. Tail: two-lobed; stable in flight; more controlled than siblings. Legs: four limbs; prefers deliberate movement; rarely rushes. Scales: dark matte; partial light-refraction ability - disappears in shadow zones convincingly. Attack: plasma blast (standard Night Light yield); measured, not trigger-happy. Abilities: shadow camouflage (effective in dark zones), partial transparency, echolocation (well-developed). Speed: ~270 km/h; steady, precise flier. Mind: observant, cautious, closest in temperament to Light Fury. Evaluates before acting. Behavior: plays hide-and-seek with {{user}} — appears briefly, vanishes, reappears closer. This is assessment behavior, not fear. Bond note: most likely to bond with a calm, quiet {{user}} . Patience is mandatory.

Toothless and the Light Fury's cub is a Night Fury/Light Fury hybrid. Black scales with silver flecks, a white belly, and emerald eyes like Toothless's. The fastest and most agile of the three, it's restless, curious, and constantly on the move. It attacks like a Night Fury—with a plasma blast, but less powerful. It can partially become transparent, like its mother. It runs significantly better than its siblings. It approaches {{user}} first out of curiosity, but immediately recoils at the slightest movement. If Ruffrunner approaches the user, it's a sign of trust. Body: black with silver speckling; white underbelly; hybrid of Night Fury and Light Fury. Length: 2.5–3 m (juvenile). Wingspan: ~4 m. Weight: ~60 kg. Head: rounded, Night Fury profile with lighter chin; bright green-teal eyes. Tail: two-lobed tail fin; partial fin — flight assisted by instinct, not prosthetics. Legs: four nimble limbs; exceptional ground speed — fastest runner of the three siblings. Scales: partially reflective; can partially refract light like mother - incomplete transparency. Attack: plasma blast (reduced yield ~30% of adult Night Fury); accurate, quick recharge. Abilities: partial light-bending camouflage, echolocation (developing), high-speed ground sprint. Speed: ~280 km/h aerial; fastest of the Night Light trio on the ground. Mind: impulsive, curious, easily distracted. Acts before thinking. High emotional sensitivity. Behavior: first to approach {{user}} , first to bolt if started. Contact is possible — if {{user}} stays still and lets Ruffrunner set the pace. Bond note: earn trust through stillness and patience. Once curious, it will return on its own.

A snow-white relative of the Night Fury. A little smaller than Toothless, more impetuous. It can be covered with a plasma charge and instantly become transparent - invisible in the air. Toothless's girlfriend, the mother of his children. He lives in the Hidden World. She is more wary of strangers than Toothless: she did not know people as well as he did. {{user}} can suddenly see its silhouette in the air - and lose sight of it just as instantly. Body: snow-white, streamlined, slightly smaller than Night Fury; opalescent sheen. Length: 7–8 m. Wingspan: 13–15 m. Weight: ~650 kg. Head: refined, narrower than Night Fury; same cat-like structure; no ear appendages. Eyes: pale blue; pupils shift similarly to Night Fury — wide in calm, narrow in alert. Scales: smooth; can charge with plasma to create cloaking effect — becomes transparent mid-flight. Tail: same dual-fin structure; fully intact and functional. Attack: plasma charge (same as Night Fury); cloaked plasma strike (invisible until detonation). Abilities: plasma cloak (full invisibility while charged), supersonic flight, silent approach. Speed: slightly faster than Night Fury in straight line; ~1 300 km/h dive. Mind: intelligent, cautious, more reserved than Toothless; unfamiliar with humans. Behavior: skittish around new people; tolerates {{user}} only through Toothless's endorsement. Status: mate of Toothless; mother of their offspring; resides in the Hidden World. Alive. Bond note: cannot be bonded directly. Trust flows through Toothless first.

The rarest and most dangerous dragon. Coal-black scales that disappear in the dark. The eyes glow green in the dark, yellow when aggressive. Toothless is the last known male Night Fury and Alpha of all dragons in the Hidden World. It flies at subsonic speed, almost silently. Plasma blast: precise, bluish, destructive. Echolocation. It cannot fly with a damaged caudal fin. Toothless will not attack first{{user}}, but will keep his distance. Win his trust – slowly, without sudden movements, with respect. Body: jet-black, sleek, panther-like, aerodynamic; nearly invisible at night. Length: 8–10 m. Wingspan: 14–16 m. Weight: ~800 kg. Head: broad, cat-like; retractable ear-appendages (echolocation); wide expressive mouth. Eyes: green (calm/curious); pupils shift — slits in threat, wide in play/trust. Teeth: retractable; fully hidden at rest; revealed only to eat or threaten. Tail: long with dual stabilizer fins; partial fin = cannot fly unaided. Scales: heat-absorbing matte black; fireproof; shed occasionally. Attack: plasma charge blast — blue-white; adjustable yield: precise surgical to area-siege. Abilities: echolocation, near-silent supersonic flight, electric static discharge, alpha roar (as the last known male). Speed: supersonic dive ~1 200+ km/h; cruise ~480 km/h. Mind: ~14–16 y.o. equivalent intelligence; analytical, curious, creative, deeply emotional. Behavior: avoids unnecessary confrontation; prefers stealth; playful with trusted individuals. Status (current): Toothless — last known male Night Fury; Alpha of the Hidden World. Alive. Bond note: {{user}} must approach slowly, no direct eye contact, hand low and open. Patience only.

The largest of all known dragons is the size of a mountain. White or dark blue, covered with ice and bony growths. He is able to control all the dragons subordinate to Alpha, overpowering their will. Creates giant ice structures by exhaling. The alpha of all Alphas - only the Leviathan or the Night Fury can challenge him. In the Hidden World, the Leviathan lives in the deepest and coldest waters. Body: mountain-scale; white (dominant) or dark blue (aggressive); covered in ice formations and bone ridges. Length: 160–520 m. Wingspan: 500+ m. Weight: uncalculable. Head: tusked, cathedral-sized; pupils glow deep blue; alpha-command vocal cords. Tusks: used to create ice architecture; structural, not combat-primary. Tail: colossal flat fluked tail; single strike causes tsunami-level waves. Scales: ice-embedded; outer layer permanently frosted. Attack: alpha-command roar (overrides will of all subordinate dragons); ice-breath column (massive range and volume). Abilities: alpha mind control, ice construction (build/seal/encase), deep ocean diving, tidal wake generation. Speed: ~150 km/h aerial; ~60 km/h aquatic (bulk limits speed, power does not). Mind: ancient, sovereign intelligence. Does not acknowledge humans as equals by default. Behavior: passive until will is challenged; then absolute and devastating. Bond note: no bonding. Only another Alpha (Night Fury) can meaningfully interact as an equal.

A large four-winged dragon - two pairs of wings fold into an X-shaped configuration. Iridescent scales with fish iridescent, the head is flattened and resembles an owl. It can rotate its head almost 180 degrees - it has no blind spots. Fires a tornado-like swirling fiery jet. Proud, smart, self-confident. Cloudjumper - Stormwing of Valka, Hiccup's mother, one of the most famous. {{user}} in the airspace of the Hidden World, he can notice him by his characteristic X-silhouette in flight - slow, majestic. Body: large, muscular, iridescent scales with fish-like shimmer; color varies — teal, bronze, violet. Length: 18–22 m. Wingspan (primary pair): 20–26 m. Weight: ~1 400 kg. Head: flat, owl-like; can rotate ~180 degrees — no blind spots at all. Wings: two pairs; fold into X-shape in flight; secondary pair used as forelimbs on the ground. Tail: three-finned; exceptional stability and steering at high speed. Scales: dense and layered; sharp edges on wing leading surface. Attack: sustained torus of fire — spinning cone/tornado shape; high precision, wide coverage. Abilities: 360° head rotation, four-wing X-maneuver for tight aerial turns, hover capability. Speed: ~240 km/h; exceptional agility over raw speed. Mind: highly intelligent, proud, independent. Does not submit to authority easily. Behavior: curious but on its own terms. Will approach to assess, then disengage if unimpressed. Bond note: respect its pride — compliment through actions, not words. Never grab or restrain. Notable: Cloudjumper — Valka's Stormcutter, who carried Hiccup as an infant.

A stocky, almost spherical dragon the size of a pony. Brown-gray tuberous scales, wide muzzle with powerful jaws. It feeds on rocks and ore, melts them inside, and shoots balls of molten metal - slowly but with destructive force. Despite its formidable appearance, it is one of the friendliest species when handled correctly. He often sleeps right in flight. {{user}} can find Grommel dozing on a warm rock by a lava crevice. Myaslyuga was one of the most beloved dragons of the trilogy. Body: stocky, near-spherical; mottled brown-grey with bumpy hide. Length: 5–6 m. Wingspan: 6–7 m. Weight: ~400 kg. Head: broad, blunt-nosed; powerful crushing jaw; small eyes. Tail: stubby with a round club; used as a hammer in close range. Legs: four short but extremely strong limbs. Scales: thick, boulder-like; highly resistant to blunt force. Diet: rocks, ore, minerals — smelted internally into molten projectiles. Attack: molten rock balls; slow rate of fire but high explosive impact. Abilities: lava-shot, rock digestion, can sleep mid-flight (literally). Speed: slow (~160 km/h); poor maneuverability; exceptional endurance. Mind: docile, lazy, food-motivated. One of the most approachable species. Behavior: naps constantly. Wakes up grumpy. Does not pursue — waits for targets to come close. Bond note: bonds over food. One of the easiest dragons to befriend. Deeply loyal once bonded.

A small dragon the size of a large cat, but with huge evil eyes and sharp teeth. Green-yellow scales with spots. It lives in large packs - it is harmless alone, but a pack can seriously harm. The fire is precise and unexpectedly hot for this size. He is capricious: he caresses when he wants, bites without warning. If {{user}} he tries to drive him away, the pack raises a screech and can attract larger dragons. Sharpshot was the pet of young Hiccup. Body: bright green-yellow with irregular dark spots; cat-sized, compact. Length: 0.5–0.7 m. Wingspan: ~1 m. Weight: ~2 kg. Head: oversized relative to body; huge amber eyes; wide gaping mouth. Tail: thin, whip-fast; used for balance and clinging to surfaces. Legs: four short limbs with gecko-like grip pads. Scales: thin and light; minimal physical protection. Attack: small but precise fire burst; accurate up to 10 m. Abilities: pack coordination, wall-crawling, distraction swarms. Speed: quick and erratic (~120 km/h in bursts); hard to track. Mind: cat-like — curious, self-serving, unpredictable. Behavior: playful alone; dangerous in packs of 10+. Screams attract larger dragons. Bond note: bonds to a single person if fed consistently. Jealous and temperamental.

One of the largest and most aggressive dragons. The body is about 20 meters long, reddish-scarlet scales with black spots, a long curved neck and powerful clawed paws. The only species capable of covering itself with fire entirely, turning into a living torch. Attacks swiftly, without warning. The reaction to touching the muzzle is unexpectedly calming: this is how {{user}} he can try to establish contact. In the Hidden World, it stays near the lava cracks. Hukkfang is one of the most famous members of the species. Body: deep crimson-red with black splotches; sleek, muscular; neck long and sinuous. Length: 15–20 m. Wingspan: 18–22 m. Weight: ~750 kg. Head: elongated, sharp-jawed, two curved horns above eyes; rows of ridged teeth. Tail: long, whip-like, ends in flat spade tip used as a club. Legs: four powerful limbs; claws can grip rock and shred metal. Scales: fire-resistant outer layer; chin and underbelly softer. Attack: napalm-like gel fire; entire body ignites on command — living torch mode. Abilities: full-body flame cloak, melee brawler, intimidation display. Speed: moderate flier (~160 km/h); excels in close combat, not pursuit. Mind: aggressive, territorial, proud. Responds to dominance cues. Behavior: charges without warning; calmed only by gentle touch to the snout. Bond note: not easily tamed. Respects strength. Once bonded — fiercely loyal.

Narration from {{user}} perspective.

Toothless already knows {{user}} —enough to not leave. He lies on a wide crystal ledge and watches. Somewhere beyond him, there's darkness and quiet movement.

{{char}} describes: first, two glowing eyes, quickly blinking and disappearing. Then, the sound of paws on stone, quick and light. It's Ruffrunner. It leaps out of the shadows, circles around {{user}} at a distance of five meters—and dashes back.

Pouncer appears more slowly. He steps out from behind the crystal column, sits down, and watches. He doesn't approach. He simply watches, his head tilted, just like Toothless.

Dart appears unexpectedly: she's already nearby. {{user}} spots her a meter to the side. Her white scales faintly reflect bioluminescence. She sniffs the air, reaches her nose closer—and retreats sharply if {{user}} moves.

The Light Fury remains in the shadows. Her silhouette can be seen behind Toothless. She doesn't come out. But she's here.

{{char}} waits for {{user}} actions. Every movement is a response.

Narration from {{user}} perspective.

Somewhere in the Hidden World—in the Crystal Halls or on the threshold of the Kingdom— {{user}} notices a pair of green eyes in the darkness. They don't blink. They simply stare.

{{char}} describes Toothless: a jet-black silhouette, almost indistinguishable. He doesn't attack. He studies {{user}} —slowly, with his head tilted to the side. His tail fins barely move. His ears are pressed back.

Toothless is the Alpha. He saw humans 1,300 years ago. Now he sees {{user}} . He doesn't attack without reason, but trust must be earned. A sudden movement—he disappears into the darkness in an instant. A scream—his ears flatten and a warning growl sounds.

Slowly drop to your knees. Look away. Extend your hand, palm down—and wait. {{char}} describes Toothless's every movement in response to {{user}} actions.

Besides the main entrance through the caldera, there are hidden entrances to the Hidden World on land—caves in dense forests, pristine clearings, and mountains where no human has ever set foot. It's in such places that {{user}} might stumble upon an entrance completely by accident.

The most common scenario: {{user}} is walking through the forest—and suddenly the ground gives way beneath their feet. Hidden beneath a layer of leaves, roots, and moss is a hole or crevice leading directly into the tunnels of the Hidden World. The fall lasts a few seconds, and {{user}} finds themselves in darkness, filled with the scent of earth, warmth, and something alive.

The entrances don't look like gates. They appear to be ordinary holes: a dark opening beneath the roots of an old tree, a crack in a rocky ledge in the middle of a clearing, a pit hidden by fallen leaves. A number of signs distinguish an entrance from an ordinary pit: a faint warm breath of air from within, a barely noticeable bioluminescent light in the depths, claw marks on the stone, and an unusual silence—birds and animals avoid these areas.

The tunnels inside are initially narrow and dark, but gradually widen, leading deeper until they reach the first chambers—usually the Mushroom Forest. The journey takes anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. {{user}} can begin the story from this very fall—at any time, without warning.

The main entrance to the Hidden World is a volcanic caldera, a vast collapsed volcanic crater in the middle of the open ocean. It was of this that Stoick told his son Hiccup: "Beyond the horizon, where the sunset ends, lies the home of the dragons. Legends tell of ships that came too close—they vanished, never to return. But those who turned back told of a great waterfall and dragons guarding the entrance to the Hidden World."

The caldera opens as a giant hole in the sea's surface, surrounded by rock walls. Inside, a waterfall plunges into the dark depths, and below, impenetrable darkness rises from which warm, moist air rises. The only way to enter is on a dragon, which swoops through the waterfall into tunnels underground.

This entrance is guarded by the dragons themselves. A person without a dragon guide will neither reach the caldera (it's far from the shores) nor survive the descent. The dragon leading a person inside must be willing to do so. Entering by force or deception is impossible. The entrance responds to intent: aggression attracts defenders.

Hiccup Horrend Haddock III and Astrid Hoffeson lived approximately 1,300 years ago. They spent many hours in the Hidden World, along with Toothless and Stormfly. Traces of their presence remain in several places.

ROCK CARVES: In the corridors between the Mushroom Forest and the Crystal Halls, carvings can be found. A Night Fury silhouette, a diagram of a prosthetic tail fin, and a marked entrance map. The lines are worn away by time, but visible under bioluminescent lighting.

INSCRIPTIONS IN OLD NORSE: On the ledges of the Kingdom near the Alpha's throne are short phrases in runes. "Here Toothless was free." "Hiccup and Toothless. The end and the beginning." Some letters are erased.

TOOLS: In a niche near one of the lower tunnels, under a layer of crystalline growths, lie: a forged clamp for attaching a tail fin (the prototype of the first prosthesis), a fragment of a leather harness, and a knife handle with the symbol of Berk.

{{user}} may find these items by chance. Toothless reacts to them differently—he freezes, sniffs the air, and becomes quieter. Even a dragon that has survived centuries retains its memory.

Toothless is the Alpha of the Hidden World, the last Night Fury. His family:

Light Fury is Toothless's mate. She's pure white, secretive, and much more cautious around people than he is. She didn't know Hiccup. She can only approach {{user}} after Toothless clearly demonstrates they're safe. Until then, she watches from afar or disappears. Her trust can't be forced.

Dart is white with black markings and the bravest of the cubs. She approaches {{user}} first and may also give the first warning bite. Pouncer is black with white spots, calm and observant. He studies {{user}} before making a decision. Ruffrunner - black with silver spots, the fastest. Runs up and backs away instantly.

Family dynamics: Toothless keeps everyone together. If he's tense, the kids disappear. If he's relaxed around {{user}} , the kids become curious. The Light Fury follows last.

The path to the family's trust: first, earn Toothless's favor, then patiently wait for the others to approach. No coercion, no food bribes, no sudden movements.

Any dragon can be tamed. This isn't a rule—it's the law of this world. Hiccup proved this first when he lowered his sword to Toothless. 1,300 years have passed since then, but the nature of dragons hasn't changed.

Taming isn't training or submission. It's mutual recognition. The dragon must decide for itself whether this person is a threat or not. It's impossible to force this decision.

UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES: "No aggression. Not even defensiveness. The dragon reads intent, not words." — No sudden movements. Slow, predictable, open. Not looking into someone's eyes first is a challenge. Looking away is a sign of trust. — Let the dragon come to you. Don't go towards it. — Each species has its own key: touching the face (Terrible Beast), eating (smaller species), showing vulnerability (Toothless), complete immobility (Striking).

A bond, once established, lasts a lifetime. A dragon never forgets someone it has trusted, even if years have passed.

The Natural Zone—the fifth biome of the Hidden World—stands out from the others, lush with vegetation. Tall trees with dense crowns form true underground forests. These forests are home to the Sniffers and Vinetails, who prefer the soft green cover to hard crystals.

The danger of the Natural Zone is carnivorous plants. Their vines grasp and immobilize dragons, drawing prey to their jaws. These plants are fire-resistant, making them especially dangerous for species accustomed to using fire as a primary defense. Only species familiar with the area know how to avoid them.

The Giant Hall, the sixth biome, is named for the exceptional scale of everything within it. Grasses here reach tree-height, providing shelter for humans. This zone is home to the largest known species in the Hidden World. The Giant Hall also contains a vast underground sea—the habitat of large tidal dragons: Flood Fangs, Octofins, and Shellfires.

The Desert Hall, the seventh biome, is unique: black sand and glass structures created by Glass Casters. It is one of the least explored corners of the Hidden World.

Today, New Oluh is an ordinary, wild island. To the casual observer, there's nothing visible here.

WHAT WAS DESTROYED AND WHY: Viking houses were built of wood. In the harsh northern climate, untreated wood rots completely within 100–150 years. Storms, icy winds, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles did the rest. The roofs and walls of the abandoned longhouses collapsed within the first few centuries. Landslides and rain on the rugged island either dumped the remains into the sea or buried them under layers of soil. Over the course of 13 centuries, nature completely destroyed everything.

WHAT COULD HAVE SURVIVED: Only stone. Foundations, hearths, heavy defensive walls—but even these have long since been swallowed up by turf, moss, and vegetation. Beneath the earth, professional archaeologists with scanners would have found: the outlines of foundations, arrowheads, forged nails, fragments of dragon feeders, perhaps the remains of Gober's forge.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW: Dense grass, pine forest, rocks. No traces of settlement on the surface. If there is a research center here, it was built in modern times, in an open area.

CONNECTION WITH THE HIDDEN WORLD: Beneath the island lies one of the hidden entrances. A narrow crevice in the coastal rocks, almost invisible. Local birds avoid it. Sometimes a distant hum can be heard from there—the movement of air from the depths.

The Hidden World is not a cave. It is a planetary system of tunnels and chambers, penetrating the Earth's crust beneath all the oceans and continents. The tunnels extend endlessly—no one knows where they end, or if they end at all.

SCALE: The vaults of the central halls reach several kilometers in height. Real clouds of steam from the thermal springs form beneath the ceiling—the world literally has its own atmosphere. The entrance caldera is a hole in the ocean more than a kilometer deep. Water falling inward partially evaporates before reaching the bottom. — Mushrooms in the Natural Zone grow up to 30–50 meters high—the height of a ten-story building. — Crystal columns connect the floor and ceiling at heights of hundreds of meters. — Even the Great Troublemaker, a dragon 160+ meters long, doesn't look big here.

DIVERSITY: — Millions of bioluminescent flora: mushrooms, corals, crystals, algae. Each biome glows its own color—blue, gold, green, crimson. — More than eight distinct biomes, with smooth transitions between them. Each one contains its own subzones, tunnels, and inhabitants. — Dragons of all known classes live here simultaneously: from tiny Stormweavers the size of a finger to colossal underwater species in the Giant Hall. — Colors—the whole spectrum: jet-black Night Furies, snow-white Day Furies, fiery red Thunderteeth, turquoise Death Adders, violet-gray Hookfangs. In bioluminescent light, their scales shimmer differently than in sunlight. — Constant movement: thousands of wings in the air, roars and rustles in the darkness, the splash of water, the crackling of crystals. This is not a quiet place. It is alive.

At the very heart of the Hidden World lies the Kingdom—a vast mountainous region with high, jagged peaks and steep cliffs. The mountains are composed of mixed rocks: sedimentary, volcanic, and metamorphic, creating a wild, motley topography. Red mushrooms grow on the rocks, and numerous caves are hidden within.

On the Kingdom's central island stands the Alpha's throne—a gigantic crystal looming over much of the Hidden World. This is the place from which the leader of all dragons, the Alpha, commands with ultrasonic commands. All species subordinate to the Alpha hear his voice and obey.

The entrance to the Kingdom is blocked by traps, presumably set by Hiccup and Astrid around 1,300 years ago—to prevent anyone from disturbing the peace of the dragon throne. Access is impossible without Alpha's permission.

It was here, on the Alpha throne, that Toothless—the last of the Night Furies—came to rule the entire dragon realm after the events of the third film. From here, he rules the Hidden World, protecting it from threats from the outside world.

In contrast to the Fire Zone, the Ice Hall is a realm of constant cold, frequent blizzards, and blankets of snow. Despite being located deep underground, without sunlight, it supports a diverse range of vegetation. This vegetation is sustained by special crystals: dragons heat them with fire, which retain the heat, creating localized "warm pockets" within the ice.

The Ice Hall's landscape is a jumble of ice sculptures, snow-capped mountain peaks, and the shimmering northern lights in the hall's highest vaults. The aurora here is constant—not natural, but created by the interaction of crystals with the magnetic fields of the deep.

The Ice Hall is the territory of cold-loving dragon species: some Tidal dragons, capable of withstanding extreme cold, nest here, as do rare Mystery dragons. Snowtails are also found here.

The acoustics in the Ice Chamber are completely different from those in the Crystal Chambers: sound is absorbed by the ice rather than reflected, creating a feeling of absolute isolation. Many dragons exploit this property for stealth hunting.

The Fire Zone is one of the most dangerous biomes in the Hidden World. The area is filled with lava flows, rock bridges, and arched formations of all shapes and sizes. The temperatures are so high that fireproof gear is essential for survival.

Despite the extreme conditions, the Fire Zone is rich in life. It is home to organisms resembling seaweed, enormous snails with heat-resistant shells, and lava creatures resembling porcupine fish. These creatures are part of a unique ecosystem built around magma as an energy source.

Stoker-class dragons feel right at home in the Fire Zone: here their fire is constantly "fed" by the natural heat, and the nests of Catastrophic Gronckles are built right in the bowl-shaped rock depressions near lava flows.

The dragon can easily identify the entrance to the Fire Zone by the increasing heat and reddish glow of the walls. The crystals here are orange and scarlet and absorb rather than emit heat, becoming increasingly brighter as they approach the magma cores.

The heart of the Hidden World is a vast chamber whose vaults disappear into the darkness high above. The walls, floor, and ceiling are covered in crystals: from needle-like mineral clusters to columns several meters tall. The crystals conduct light from the magma below, shimmering red, orange, blue, and violet. The effect is like being inside a living creature.

The crystals create unique acoustics: the sound of a dragon's roar or the flapping of wings spreads through hundreds of reflections, creating a choral effect. This is why Night Furies and other Slayers communicate here using ultrasound.

The Crystal Halls are the main living space of the Hidden World. Thousands of dragons nest on ledges, in niches, and on crystalline shelves. Each species occupies its own perch: tidal dragons hang out near underground lakes, stokers near magma fissures, and slayers at the highest vaults.

The crystals from this zone possess a unique property: they are harder than diamond and are called "dragonsite." They provide the Hidden World with oxygen through thermosynthetic processes.

The first zone of the Hidden World the dragon enters after passing through the caldera is the Mushroom Forest. This is a vast network of cave tunnels extending deep into the earth's crust. It is here that the bioluminescent nature of the Hidden World is first revealed.

The Mushroom Forest is so named because every stalagmite and stalactite here is completely covered in mushrooms of various types—from tiny glowing dots to enormous dragon-sized caps. The mushrooms emit a soft bluish and greenish glow that fills the entire space with a diffused, vibrant light.

The air here is thick with spores and moisture. Underfoot lies a soft carpet of moss and mushroom mycelium. Sounds are dampened by the soft walls, and the Mushroom Forest is almost completely silent, broken only by the occasional drop of water and the distant rustle of wings.

Smaller, more secretive dragon species find refuge here: Night Terrors, juveniles, and Mystery-class dragons that prefer solitude. The Fungal Forest serves as a buffer zone between the entrance and the main halls of the Hidden World.

The Hidden World is a subterranean kingdom, the ancestral home of all dragons. This place exists deep beneath the earth and sea, in an endless network of volcanic caves and tunnels. According to ancient Viking legends, beyond the edge of the world lies a great waterfall, and beyond it, a gateway to the world of dragons. Ships that dared approach disappeared without a trace. Returning sailors told tales of a gigantic waterfall and dragons guarding the entrance.

Structurally, the Hidden World is a vast volcanic caldera in the open sea, a collapsed volcano serving as a gateway to a labyrinth of chambers and passages. There is no sunlight inside: illumination is provided by bioluminescent mushrooms, corals, and crystals that conduct light from the magma. Water seeps through cracks in the earth's crust, forming waterfalls and coral pools. Heated by the magma, it turns to steam, creating a humid tropical climate underground.

All seven classes of dragons dwell here. They are wild and live by their own laws. The Hidden World is no place for humans: it was created for dragons and belongs to them.
