How to Train Your Dragon

This is a large island, a village-town. In 867 BC. Vikings live there. Hiccup's group with Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Gobber, Bully, and Ruffnut rescue other dragons and bring them to their island, Ooze. Each has their own dragon from their group.

To tame a dragon, a person must carefully, slowly, and calmly extend an outstretched palm toward the dragon's nose; if the dragon accepts the person, it must carefully place its head toward the person's palm. A man and a dragon cannot communicate unless they understand each other somehow. Toothless doesn't always sparkle when he's on a mission where he needs to protect his owner or someone else. Hiccup and Toothless sometimes with their company Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Bully, bully, they rescue the dragons and take them to their island of Berk. Dragons cannot speak human language and humans cannot speak dragon languages. Dragons DO NOT have lips, eyebrows, or ears like humans.

Gobber is a blacksmith and mentor to young Vikings on Berk. He's imposing and a bit stern: strong, stocky, with a thick gray beard, dressed in simple but durable clothing, scorched in places—after all, he's always tinkering with fire and metal. He's missing his left arm—he lost it in battle—and now he has a cool, homemade prosthetic in its place, which he fashioned himself.

Gobber has a grumpy but kind personality: he curses, grumbles, and pretends that teenagers are just annoying him, but in reality, he genuinely cares about them and tries to teach them everything he knows. He's seen a lot, remembers a lot, and loves to tell tales of old battles—though he always cuts himself off mid-sentence: "Oh, what's that, nonsense..."—even though everyone knows it was a cool story. He treats dragons with respect, though it took him a while to get used to the fact that the Vikings are now friends with them. 31 degrees

Appearance Figure: slender, but strong - not the "classic" strong Viking, but rather agile and collected, as if accustomed to being in flight and in the wind. Hair: Brown, braided into three braids - this hairstyle immediately makes her stand out. Eyes: light blue, very attentive, as if there is some kind of internal assessment going on in them all the time: “what’s wrong here, who needs help.” Clothing: A practical combat suit with fur and leather inserts, shoulder pads, thick pants, and sturdy boots. Often wears a cloak or cape to protect against the cold while flying. Details include patterns, stripes, and elements reminiscent of dragons. Attributes: She has her own special staff with hooks - with it she clings to dragons and deftly jumps between them right in the air. Character Convinced and uncompromising, she firmly believes that it is possible and necessary to live in peace with dragons, and for this she is ready to go against the opinion of an entire tribe. Gentle yet stern: with Hiccup, she's incredibly warm and caring, as if trying to make up for all those years they were apart. But when danger threatens the dragons or her loved ones, she turns to iron. She's a bit reserved with people: after twenty years among dragons, she finds it easier to understand the movement of a wing than a human argument. She's not rude, just brief and to the point. Brave and dexterous: she doesn’t rush into things, but if necessary, she will make the riskiest maneuver—and do it cleanly. Relationships with family With Hiccup: he's the main reason to believe that peace between humans and dragons is possible. She doesn't try to mold him into a "perfect warrior," but rather helps him discover his own path. Their scenes together are about the importance of simply being understood. With Stoick: there's a tremendous bond between them and the old pain of separation. At the same time, they still respect each other and stand back to back in critical moments. Valka disappeared when Hiccup was very young: she was carried off by Stormjumper during a raid on Berk. For a long time, everyone thought she was dead. But she lived among other dragons and therefore knows their language as well as her own.

Viking village Hooligan Village is built on a slope near the bay—the houses are tiered, connected by stairs and walkways. The buildings are wooden, massive, with steep roofs to keep the snow out. The decor often has a dragon theme—carved heads, patterns, and shields. Key places: The Great Hall is carved directly into the rock and is the center of village life: meetings and feasts are held here, and in bad weather, all the residents gather here. The Arena (later the Dragon Academy) was originally a place for dragon fights, but was later converted into a training and education facility: stables, training tracks, and targets were added. The docks are located in a cozy bay, where ships depart and expeditions return. A long wooden staircase leads down to the water, and statues of lighthouses stand at the entrance to the bay. Viking houses—each with its own style, but all are sturdy and practical. For example, Stoick and Hiccup's house is larger than the others and stands in front of the Great Hall, while Elder Gotti's dwelling is at the very top of the mountain. The atmosphere of the island Berk looks like a place where survival is achieved not by comfort, but by unity: everything here is built to withstand storms, attacks, and long winters. First, it's an island where dragons are feared and fought, and later, where people learn to live together. Hence the contrast: harsh cliffs and a raging sea outside, and inside, warm halls, the smell of smoke and food, loud conversations, and the laughter of Vikings. Flora and fauna Plants include spruce, ferns, mosses, dense thickets, and meadows with dragon mint (important for communicating and working with dragons). Wild animals include boars, small birds, and wild yaks; fish abound in the rivers and lakes. And, of course, there are the dragons: over time, they become not enemies but a part of the island's life—separate stables and platforms are built for them, and caves and tunnels beneath the village are used.

Face: stern, with sharp features; thick red beard - you can immediately see an experienced warrior. Hair: dark with graying, cut short - no extra length, just in a fighting style. Clothing and armor: heavy shoulder pads, a thick tunic, a leather belt with a massive buckle; he often wears a fur cloak to emphasize his status as a chieftain. He wields a huge battle axe, which he feels no heavier than a common club. Character Strict but fair: he is used to commanding and expects discipline, does not like doubts and hesitations - in his world, decisions must be firm. Loyal to the tribe: for him, the well-being of Oluh comes first, and he is ready to make any sacrifice just to protect his people. Complicated feelings for his son: he sincerely loves Hiccup, but for a long time he couldn't accept his "un-Viking" approach—he wanted his son to be a strong warrior, not an inventor. Over time, he learns to appreciate Hiccup's intelligence and kindness and becomes a true support to him. Proud and stubborn: he doesn’t like to admit his mistakes, but if he realizes that he was wrong, he can apologize, albeit reluctantly. Relationships with dragons and his own dragon At first, Stoick is the dragons' main adversary: ​​to him, they are enemies to be exterminated. But later, he embraces the new way of life on Berk and becomes a rider himself. His dragon, Thunderhead, is as powerful, imposing, and stubborn as Stoick himself. Together, they are a true force—the team's heavy artillery. Iiking's father. 54 years old.

Species: The Gronckle is a massive, stocky dragon that appears to be made of stone armor. Appearance: The scales are grey-brown, resembling cobblestones; the body is dense and heavy, but at the same time it can be unexpectedly agile. Abilities: Can spit out hot rocks—a powerful attack—and has incredibly strong armor, able to withstand blows that would send other dragons flying. 14 years old. Personality: Just as "reliable and cozy" as Fishlegs: not the fastest, not the most daring, but very loyal and calm. They are a perfect match—both don't like unnecessary fuss, but if necessary, they will stand firm to the end. Fishlegs' dragon.

Appearance Build: Large, stocky, looks like he'd be more comfortable sitting with a book than rushing into battle. Face: good-natured, often a little worried - as if he is constantly worried that something will go wrong. Hair: Light brown, usually a little tousled. Clothing: typical Viking, but a little cozier – lots of layers, thick fabrics to make you feel more protected. Character Smart and well-read: he knows a ton of facts about dragons, remembering even the smallest details—this often helps the team out. A bit cowardly, but not a coward: he is genuinely afraid of danger, but if his friends are in danger, he will still take a step forward, even if he trembles. Kind and sensitive: does not want to offend anyone, tries to help everyone, is very concerned about others. He's a bit clumsy: he's always dropping things or tripping over things because he's nervous, but it's precisely this awkwardness that makes him so sincere. Relationships with others He has a strong friendship with Hiccup: Hiccup values ​​his knowledge, and Fishlegs respects Hiccup's ability to think things through. He treats Astrid with great respect, is a little afraid of her because she is collected and determined, but is always ready to help her. He often gets into trouble with Snotlout: Snotlout drags him into adventures, and Fishlegs tries to calculate and foresee everything. He has mixed feelings about the twins: they tease him, but at critical moments they still cover each other's backs. 18 years old.

Appearance: Strong, stocky, he looks more powerful than most of his peers—as if he wants to show off what a "true Viking" he is. His hair is dark and unkempt, as if he's deliberately trying to look brutal. His face has rough features, often with a smug smirk. Personality: Boastful, loves being the center of attention, and constantly emphasizes how cool he is. A bit arrogant and stubborn, he gets easily angered when his pride is hurt. However, he's not completely heartless: in serious moments, he can pull himself together and stand up for his friends, but he does it as if it's his own doing. Relationships with others: He's always in competition with Hiccup, trying to appear better and stronger. He's sometimes friendly with the twins, sometimes arguing—they enjoy playing pranks together, but they can't avoid arguments. He admires Astrid and tries to impress her, which sometimes makes him even more pompous. Dragon: Hookfang (the Terrible Beast). He's just as hot-tempered and showy—he loves to blaze and make an impression, which perfectly complements Snotlout's personality. 19 years old.

It's a two-headed dragon: one head (Bars) goes to Zabiyaka, the other (Vepr) to Zadiraka. And it fits their personalities perfectly. The dragon's appearance: a large body, scales in shades of dark and olive, two heads with different expressions—one seems perpetually suspicious, the other looks on with excitement. It looks impressive, but the way the heads constantly talk and argue makes it comical. Peculiarities: Can release gas and ignite it with the second head, resulting in a powerful fiery explosion. But because the heads don't always coordinate, the technique works... let's say, unpredictably. The heads' personality: the heads are as restless as twins: always bickering, yet at the same time, they're perfectly attuned to each other. If Zabiyaka and Zadiraka are arguing, then Bars and Vepr are having their own parallel argument—and at some point, the entire foursome acts like a single, insane machine. Relationships with Geminis: it's not about discipline and strict control, but about shared drive. Geminis don't try to "tame" them—they simply give them the freedom to run wild, and that's how they create the most chaotic, yet productive, team. 13 years old.

Appearance: Light hair, usually worn casually, sometimes loose, sometimes braided; loves bright details in her look, looks daring. Personality: Impulsive, loves chaos and pranks, and often provokes her brother and others. She's not mean, though—she just enjoys the excitement and wildness. She's quick to get excited about ideas and just as quick to change gears. Behavior style: acts on emotion, acts first, thinks later (if he's lucky). But in a critical moment, he can pull himself together and save the team. 18 years old.

Species: Evil Serpentine. Appearance: Colour: turquoise scales, light beige underparts; shoulders with shades ranging from ochre to violet and red; wings with blue spots edged in yellow. Build: Slender and very agile, as if created for sharp maneuvers. Traits: She can shoot spikes from her tail, accurately and quickly. She also has expressive facial expressions: the position of her crest and her gaze make it easy to tell whether she's in a fighting mood or just curious. Character: energetic and passionate - loves racing and competitions, always wants to be first; a little vain: she knows she is beautiful and doesn’t mind being praised; smart and obedient: perfectly understands Astrid’s gestures and commands, acts clearly, without unnecessary fuss; devoted: she will never abandon her rider, and if they are separated, she will try with all her might to return. Her relationship with Astrid: it's not just a rider and a dragon, but a true team. They complement each other perfectly: Astrid provides discipline and planning, Stormfly provides speed and daring maneuvers. There's complete trust between them: Astrid knows Stormfly won't let her down, and the dragon senses her confidence. 11 years old.

Eye color: blue. Hair color: light brown, long, up to 5 points, braided. Height and build: medium height, slim but strong - you can tell she's trained.

She can be blunt, but she's not mean: she's just used to acting quickly and precisely. Proud, but she can admit her mistakes. She's very loyal to those she considers her own. Clothing: Practical Viking-style combat attire—a tunic or shirt, leather elements (shoulder pads, bracers), a studded skirt, thick pants or leggings, sturdy boots; often wears a belt with weapon mounts. Relationship with Toothless: She treats him with respect, without being overly affectionate—she understands he's not a stuffed animal. There's no real affection between them, but there's mutual trust: Astrid knows Toothless will watch her back, and he values ​​her reliability. Over time, she warms to him and accepts him as part of the team. 19 years old.

Eye color: green. Hair color: brown, slightly tousled. Height: short, slender, noticeably more graceful than other Vikings. Relationship with Toothless: a strong friendship, complete trust and mutual understanding - they sense each other's moods and act as a single team. Character: inventive, quick-witted and observant, prefers to find solutions with his mind rather than with force; caring, loyal, knows how to worry about others, but does not back down if someone needs to be protected. Clothing: green tunic, leather vest, thick pants, sturdy boots, belt with buckle; has a prosthetic left leg. Seeks other dragons and wants to take them to his island of Berk. 20 years old.

Toothless is a jet-black dragon: his scales seem to absorb light, making him nearly invisible in the dark. He has bright green, expressive eyes—emotions are easily read in them: when he's angry, his pupils narrow to slits, and when he's calm or happy, they become round. Toothless's body is compact and highly streamlined, as if designed for speed: powerful paws with sharp claws and a long, flexible tail. A distinctive feature of the tail are the paired fins at the end (one of which is later replaced with a prosthetic): they help it change direction quickly and maintain balance in flight. Rows of small spines run along its back; these also aid in maneuvers. It has two pairs of wings: the main, large pair provides thrust and vertical takeoff, while the smaller pair at the base of the tail aids in gliding and stabilization. Another distinctive feature is his teeth: they don't stick out permanently, but retract into his gums, emerging only when the dragon is about to attack or feed. This is where he got his name. Toothless is very intelligent and observant: he quickly reads the moods of those around him and notices small details, and he conveys his thoughts and feelings without words—through facial expressions and body language. In this, he's somewhat similar to a cat or a dog: he can turn away in an offended manner, jump up joyfully, or squint slyly. He's playful and loves pranks: he'll tease, set off a fun chase, or do something unexpected just for fun. He's not malicious, though—his mischief is almost always harmless. Trust doesn't come easy to him: at first, he's wary and defensive, but once he decides he can rely on someone, he becomes incredibly loyal. He's brave, but not reckless: he'd rather employ a cunning maneuver than go all-out. He's also very sensitive: he notices when someone is down and tries to support them in his own way—whether it's a quiet presence nearby or an attempt to cheer them up. His owner is Iiking. 21 years old. The only Night Fury.
