## Biography

### Beginning

This takes place about two years before the second movie and three years after Dagur's defeat. By now everything on Berk had completely changed, including the Vikings and the riders. Hiccup continued to search for new dragons, to no avail. The war between the Hairy Hooligans and the Berserker Tribe has determined victory in favor of the Hooligans, but has now taken a turn of events for the worse when Dagur escapes from Outcast Island's prison in Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 1.

In "Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 1"and "Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 2", Hiccup and the other riders attempt to track down Dagur. Trader Johann tells them he suspects that Dagur is going to the Ship Graveyard, where Johann keeps his items. Once there, Hiccup and the others must wait for Dagur to arrive. Hiccup then decides to explore *The Reaper*, a ship which is, according to Johann, full of booby traps. Along with Toothless, Hiccup manages to evade the traps and finds the Dragon Eye in the commander's quarters. When they return to the deck, Hiccup is confronted by Dagur and his men, who demand Hiccup give the Dragon Eye in exchange for the lives of his fellow riders, who have been captured and locked in a dragon-proof cage. Hiccup gives Dagur the Dragon Eye and apparently lets him leave without resistance. He then attempts to free his friends, but finds that this will require time he does not have as he is planning to steal the Dragon Eye back, and goes after Dagur. Dagur uses a catapult to sink *The Reaper*, forcing Hiccup to stop chasing him to help his friends. However, having saved them, Hiccup tracks Dagur down and reclaims the Dragon Eye.

Hiccup, Gothi, and the other riders then go to Glacier Island to get a tooth from a Snow Wraith, which they believe is the key to unlocking the Dragon Eye. They are successful in getting a tooth but can not unlock the Dragon Eye. While studying it later that night, Hiccup figures out that the Dragon Eye can only work with a dragon's flame to light up the information inside it.

In "Imperfect Harmony", Hiccup then received permission from Stoick and Berk's Council to explore beyond the Archipelago in order to discover new dragons and track Dagur down.

In "When Darkness Falls", following a close encounter with Death Song on Melody Island, Hiccup and the other riders then searched for island to act as their base. After checking many islands, they then found one. They also found on the island a flock of Night Terrors under their alpha, Smidvarg. After helping the night terrors, Hiccup and the others started to build the outpost, to which they named Dragon's Edge.

In "Gone Gustav Gone", following Gustav's visit, Hiccup discovered more lenses for the dragon eye thanks to him.

In "Reign of Fireworms", Hiccup was also able to work with the night terrors to lure the Fireworms away from Dragon's Edge.

In "Crushing It", Hiccup and the other riders then defended the outpost against a new dragon known as the Rumblehorn. He then convinced his father to come to the Edge to help them in order to ease him up. Together they discovered that the Rumblehorn was trying to save them from a tidal wave. Together, Hiccup, Stoick and the Rumblehorn, whom Stoick names Skullcrusher, save the Edge from the tidal wave.

In "Quake, Rattle and Roll", Hiccup journeys to Dark Deep with Fishlegs after they discover the location of the legendary island. There they encounter both unfriendly Gronkles and a Catastrophic Quaken known as Tormentor.

In "Have Dragon Will Travel, Part 1", when an unknown dragon attacked an innocent ship near Berk, Hiccup and the riders decided to investigate. After learning about the Razorwhip from the Dragon Eye, they went to an island with sea slugs to find the dragon and it's rider which they soon discovered to be Heather.

In "Have Dragon Will Travel, Part 2", Hiccup helped freeing Heather and Windshear from Dagur and his fleet and returned back to the Edge. Later that evening, Hiccup discovered that his father's crest was sealed on Heather's Horn and immediately left for Berk to ask his father if Heather was his sister. He ended up learning that she is Dagur's sister.

In "The Next Big Sting", Hiccup then worked on his prototype flightsuit, *Dragonfly I*. After testing his flightsuit, Hiccup and the other riders then found a Speed Stinger.

In "Total Nightmare", Hiccup then helped Snotlout and Hookfang in defending Hookfang's eggs from a Titan Wing Monstrous Nightmare.

### Dragon Hunters

"Team Astrid"

Hiccup and the other riders then searched for Dagur after he attacked Berk. He also watched as Astrid trained a new team of riders to defend Berk. However, he and the others inadvertently led Dagur to Dragon's Edge. However, Hiccup then received reinforcements and were able to drive Dagur away.

In "Night of the Hunters, Part 1" Astrid and Stormfly are out on an early morning flight when they encounter a group of Dragon Hunters lead by Ryker Grimborn. They try to fight back but Stormfly gets shot in her belly by Ryker after Stormfly shot some spines at them. Later when Hiccup got really worried about Astrid, went to look for her with the other Riders . Eventually he found her and they returned to the Edge. When Astrid wakes, the Riders are there and she tells them about the Dragon Hunters and that they have Stormfly.

In "Night of the Hunters, Part 2", when Stormfly was captured by Ryker and his Dragon Hunters, Hiccup searched the sea for Astrid. He then helped her to find information on the Hunters on *The Reaper*. After finding a lens and getting acid from a Changewing, Hiccup then found a Dragon Hunter port nearby. Hiccup and the rider then went to Ryker's ship to free Stormfly. Unfortunately, Astrid, the twins, and Fishlegs were captured. Hiccup, and Snotlout were then forced to retreat.

Hiccup and Snotlout then went to the Screaming Death's Island. There, they made armor for Toothless and Hookfang. Together, Hiccup and Snotlout were able to rescue the other riders and escape Ryker and his Hunters.

In "Bad Moon Rising" Hiccup then discovered information on the legend of the Lycanwing. On Lycanwing Island, Hiccup and Fishlegs discovered that the legend was just to hide more dragon eye lenses.

In "Snotlout Gets the Axe" Hiccup then accompanied Snotlout and Astrid to wedding between the Jorgensons and Hoffersons to the Island of Friga. However, on the way there, Snotlout dropped the Ceremonial Axe on an island. There, they found the axe on the back of a Armorwing. They were unable to remove the axe, but were able to get some Smothering Smokebreaths to free the axe. Hiccup then defended the Armor wing by leading the Smokebreaths away.

In "The Zippleback Experience" Hiccup and Toothless then saved Barf and Belch's life from an avalanche, earning a life debt from them. Hiccup became annoyed by this when they filled his hut with fish and damaged his leg. Hiccup was then captured by Dagur's men and taken to Ryker's ship where they demanded the information from dragon eye from him. However, Hiccup was then saved by Barf & Belch, ending their life debt.

In "Snow Way Out" Hiccup was informed by Astrid that Ryker was heading to Glacier Island to capture a Snow Wraith. Hiccup and the riders ended up discovering a Snow Wraith Pack which were captured by Ryker's hunters, but then relocated by Hiccup to another island. Hiccup then tried to shoot Heather down but Astrid stopped him, telling that she was working with the Hunters as a spy. At first, Hiccup was disappointed that Astrid kept this from him. However, he was pleased to know that Ryker was not the leader, but Viggo Grimborn was the chief of the dragon hunters.

In "Edge of Disaster, Part 1" Hiccup then received a message from Trader Johann that his ship was under attack by Dragon Hunters. He took Snotlout, Fishlegs and their dragon with them, leaving only Astrid and the twins to defend the Edge. As they approached Johann's ship, they saw he was under attack by a pack wild dragons from Forest Island. At first, they were able to drive the wild dragons away, but Fishlegs was then captured by the pack's alpha, Scardian. Hiccup, Snotlout and Johann then approached the wild dragons' nest. At first, Hiccup thought they had never seen humans before, but realized that they had been brutally mistreated by the Dragon Hunters.

In "Edge of Disaster, Part 2", Hiccup was able to convince Scardian and his pack that he was their friends by using his flightsuit. With the help of Scardian's pack, Hiccup was able to stop Dagur's and Ryker's attack on the Edge.

In "Shock and Awe", Hiccup then assisted Fishlegs in studying a Seashocker that had entered the Edge's lagoon. He then helped it rejoin it's pod by defending it from Scauldrons.

In "A Time to Skrill", Hiccup and the other riders then tracked the Frozen Skrill down as it looked for him and Toothless. However, it was captured by Dagur, Ryker and their men. However, the Skrill was then saved by Hiccup and then repaid the debt by helping Hiccup and his riders to escape. Hiccup thus decided to let the Skrill be free.

In "Maces and Talons, Part 1", Hiccup then attacked one of Ryker's and Dagur's convoy to free the captured dragons. During this time, Astrid became concerned that Heather's role as their spy would be discovered. However, Hiccup assured her that Heather would be able to handle it, knowing Windshear would get her out. Hiccup attempted to stop Viggo from capturing a Flightmare but ended being outsmarted.

In "Maces and Talons, Part 2", as they searched Viggo's ship, Hiccup then realized that the Edge and the Dragon Eye were unprotected. At first, Hiccup thought the Eye had been taken but was relieved that Snotlout and Tuffnut hidden in a cave. When Hiccup and the riders went to Dragon Hunter Island in searching for Heather, Windshear and the Flightmare, Viggo paralyzed him with the Flightmare and took the Dragon Eye.

### Alliance with Dagur

In "Enemy of My Enemy", Hiccup goes on a flight with Toothless, despite Astrid warning him not to. He lands on a seemingly attacked ship, when the Hunters on that ship revealed to be not hurt Hiccup and Toothless try to escape but Toothless gets hit with a Dragon Hunter arrow and crash lands on the nearest island, on the island Hiccup encounters the Hunters again. It seems unlikely that he and Toothless will be able to escape, but Dagur, who has been living on the island, unexpectedly comes to their rescue. While at first Hiccup doesn't believe Dagur could be sincere, he changes his mind when Dagur saves him and Toothless and they even shake hands. As he escapes from the island, he tells Toothless that they'll have to come back for Dagur.

In "Crash Course", Hiccup along with the other riders help Snotlout, Hookfang and the Fireworm Queen defeat a wild Cavern Crasher who was scavenging for eggs.

In "Follow the Leader", while Hiccup and Astrid go out exploring, Snotlout and the twins use all the Nightmare gel to burn things. Fishlegs was supposed to be supervising them, but instead goes exploring on his own and finds an ancient cave full of dragons similar to Night Terrors. On returning, Hiccup gets mad at Fishlegs for not stopping the therefrom wasting the gel and doesn't want to listen about the ancient cave. He later tries to apologize to Fishlegs but fails. That night, he is woken up by Meatlug who leads his and the other riders to the Night Terror cave. They found Fishlegs but are attacked by the Night Swarms. With the help of Darkvarg, a dragon Fishlegs befriends, the gang escapes. The next day, Hiccup and Fishlegs apologize to each other and go to explore the cave again.

In "Turn and Burn", Hiccup and Snotlout help Stoick in his search for Spitelout. They find him on Storehouse Island, which was attacked by a Singetail. At first, Hiccup and Stoick decide that it is hopeless to fight the Singetail, leaving Spitelout and Snotlout to fight it on their own. After a while, they realize that the trouble caused by Spitelout and Snotlout may just be their way of proving themselves to Hiccup and Stoick. Realizing this,they return to help the Jorgensons, but give up when more dragons arrive.

In "Buffalord Soldier", while on patrol, Astrid contracts the Scourge of Odin, a deadly disease that will kill her unless the gang can obtain the antidote, saliva of the Buffalord dragon, within three days. The team manages to locate a Buffalord, which were thought to be extinct, but when Hiccup attempts to bring the Buffalord's saliva back to the Edge, he realizes this is impossible as it dries almost immediately. He then tries to bring the Buffalord back to the Edge, but the usually peaceful dragon reacts violently, showing it is actually very powerful, and this plan is abandoned. Instead, they bring Astrid to the Buffalord. However, just before they can give her the antidote, Viggo arrives and captures the Buffalord, revealing that he was responsible for Astrid's illness and this was just part of his plan to capture a Buffalord. Hiccup offers to give him the Buffalord as long as Viggo lets him take the saliva to cure Astrid. Viggo agrees and Hiccup is able to cure Astrid. As Viggo leaves with the Buffalord thinking he's gotten the better end of the deal, the Buffalord puffs up, breaks free of it's cage, and starts to destroy Viggo's ship because it doesn't want to leave it's island. The hunters are forced to release the dragon and the Riders fly back to the Edge knowing the Buffalord is safe.

In "A Grim Retreat", after working long hours on defenses, the Riders and their dragons are exhausted and need rest. But Hiccup, who has an obsession with finding Viggo and getting the Dragon Eye back, wants them to continue. After sometime Hiccup allows them to have a break. Gobber and Stoick arrive to watch the Edge while the Riders are gone. They go to an island where Grimora is located, the dragons get infected with the parasite and act wild again. When the Riders hide from the infected dragons in a closed-off cave, Toothless gets infected too. When the Riders back off and don't know what to do, Tuffnut throws stuff at Toothless in the hopes of stopping him. He had some salt left and when it came in contact with Toothless, the Grimora reacts and is forced to leave Toothless' skin. The Riders figure they need to go in saltwater to remove the Grimora from their dragons. After successfully removing the Grimora with saltwater, the Riders return to the Edge and Hiccup decides to lighten up on his obsession with Viggo and the Dragon Eye.

In "To Heather or Not to Heather" the gang finds out that Fishlegs had been keeping in touch with Heather through Terror mails. Heather does not sound like her normal self in the letters, so the they decide to invite Heather to stay with them for a few days on the Edge, and hopefully join them. However, when Heather arrives, Windshear starts acting strange around the other dragons. Heather states that Windshear is not used to having other dragons around her, and is trying to protect her. Heather wants to leave immediately, but the dragon riders convince Heather to remain at the Edge for a few more days. After a while, Fishlegs stays behind with Heather while the others go to raid Viggo's ships. While giving Heather a tour of the Edge, Fishlegs comes up with an idea to allow Heather to stay at the Edge. So, Fishlegs shows up riding Windshear, while Heather rides Meatllug, to help the others to take down the ships. This arrangement solves the problem, and Heather decides to remain at the Edge.

Hiccup then discusses this with Stoick, if he is allowed Berk's gold, Hiccup then persuades them by saying that if they don't disrupt this auction, Viggo will get loads of gold and no dragon will be safe, not even those on Berk. When they arrive at the location of the auction, Snotlout has to show all of Berk's gold to be allowed in. Later, when the auction begins, Ruff and Tuff are trying to open the cage that first went up for buying. Viggo then realizes that Snotlout is also a Dragon Rider and has them all locked up. Later, Gobber hears something he recognizes, Grump , he then asks the dragon to help them get out. Grump does that and the Riders escape, freeing as many dragons as they could. Hiccup sees Toothless, but Ryker is also there to stop Hiccup from getting his dragon back. Gobber then intervenes so that Hiccup could go after Viggo, with Berk's gold. Viggo then sees the duo and throws the chest in the water, Hiccup and Toothless dive after it but it's too heavy for Hiccup to swim back to the surface on his own.

Later, Johann and a few other traders are sailing through the Straights of Baldur when a Submaripper attacks. At the Edge, Stoick arrives, much to Hiccup's and Fishlegs' surprise. He tells them that not a single trade ship has arrived at Berk for weeks, he sent scout ships, but none of them returned. And the Auxiliary Riders saw an empty ocean, the Riders then go to investigate. They see an adolescent Scauldron who they think is the culprit, but are proved wrong when a whirlpool comes out of nowhere, sucking everything in. Including the Riders, Fishlegs, who was almost sucked in, got saved by the other Riders when they fired in the middle of the whirlpool. After this, Hiccup realizes that they have an extremely territorial Submaripper on their hands. Back on Berk, Hiccup orders Fishlegs and the Twins to get reserves from the Storehouse while the others follow him to make sure the Submaripper is moved. They try to move it, but it proves unsuccessful as Hiccup realizes that Viggo chained it. When the trio return, Hiccup explains to Fishlegs what happened, Fishlegs then, with the help of the Twins, that Changewing acid can break the chains, even under water. Hiccup then creates the Diving Bell, with inspiration from the Twins.. After a failed test, Hiccup wants to test it again. But has run out of time, the remainder of supplies is almost gone.. The Riders then head out towards the Straights and carefully place the ship, with the diving bell on it, on the water. Hiccup successfully manages to break two chains before the Hunters intercept them, waking the Submaripper. It then attacks Hiccup, who needs to break one more chain. He breaks it, swims back up to the Diving Bell and hopes it holds until he reaches the surface. Unfortunately, the Hunters launch a boulder which collides with the mechanism that pulls/lowers the Diving Bell, causing it to break and Hiccup, who's still inside the Diving Bell, to sink. Toothless goes after him, but is unable to free Hiccup. The Submaripper sees this, picks up the Diving Bell in it's mouth and carries it back to the surface, placing it carefully on the ship. The Riders pull an unconscious Hiccup out of the Bell and Toothless licks him until he wakes up. Toothless roars a thanks to the Submaripper, who then dives back into the ocean. Snotlout, Astrid and the Twins then engage with Viggo, who, with Ryker, escapes on a dinghy with Seashockers pulling them. The Riders return to Berk, which now has food to feed the village.

In "Twintuition", during tests on breaking Dragon Hunter chains, Tuff breaks Macey and wants to get her repaired at the Northen Markets while Hiccup says go to Berk. The Twins don't listen and go to the Markets anyway, while there Macey gets stolen by a Hunter and the twins follow. They accidentally end up at the Hunter operation Project Shellfire. Tuffnut tries to get Macey back, but fails. Later, Ruffnut's true identity is revealed by Ryker and is sat before Viggo. Just before Ruffnut is made bait, Tuffnut steals the plans for the project. The Riders then arrive to rescue Ruff and Tuff but are almost drowned because of the dragon-proof chains that hung above them. They almost break the chains but when the final shot comes, almost all the dragons are out. Except for Barf and Belch who then break the chains and the Riders get away. At the Edge, a viking funeral is held for Macey. After that, Tuff shows them the plans for Project Shellfire, and unbeknownst to them, the project is finished and ready to attack them.

In "Blindsided", Astrid, while trying to put out a fire in the stable, has an accident and gets blinded. This, however, improves her other senses, so she is able to figure out that the Triple Stryke that Hiccup rescued in "Stryke Out", makes a certain clicking sound before attacking. Astrid, armed with this knowledge, manages to train the Triple Stryke, later named Sleuther. Later, Gothi heals Astrid, so that she can see once more. Hiccup then kisses Astrid, beginning a relationship that would eventually result in marriage.

In "Shell Shocked, Part 1", after months of planning, Hiccup's plan of getting the Dragon Eye back from Viggo is ready. During the operation, it goes wrong as somebody has beat them to it. Hiccup then goes into Viggo's quarters and finds it messed up and abandoned, in frustration Hiccup kicks Viggo's table over and a piece from the Maces and Talons game falls on the floor. When it lands it emits a suspicious sound, Hiccup and Toothless investigate and find a hatch in the floor. When they open it, they see a relived Viggo who says "I never imagined that these words would come out of this mouth, but, my dear Hiccup, I am overjoyed to see you." The Riders then interrogate him for an explanation, he reveals that Ryker rebelled and took the Hunters and Project Shellfire with him for himself. Viggo also reveals that the next attack will be on Defenders of the Wing Island, so the Riders check on them. Once arriving at there, Viggo is put in lockdown. Later the Shellfire starts attacking the island, the Riders investigate but are unable to find anything. During the attack Viggo escapes. Later, they hover over the Straights of Baldur expecting the Shellfire to come through it. They spot a Dragon Hunter ship due south of where they were, Ryker was on that ship and told Hiccup that Viggo flipped. They then spot the Shellfire attacking Beserker Island, there they discover that the Shellfire isn't a ship or a dragon: it was both. After the attack on Beserker Island, the Riders regroup on the Edge. Hiccup then needs time alone to think, Viggo then shows up and asks Hiccup when Ryker would arrive. Hiccup, unsure on when he will be arriving, says in the morning. Before Viggo hands Hiccup the Dragon Eye he says that the two need to work together.

Even though he gives Hiccup the Dragon Eye in "Shell Shocked, Part 2", Hiccup still has doubts about trusting Viggo and locks him up just as Ryker arrives with his fleet. Hiccup comes up with a plan to deal with Ryker, while still keeping his relationship with Astrid a secret, though Heather begins to suspect. Ryker attacks the Edge as the Dragon Riders take cover in their huts. After the attack end, Hiccup is surprised that Viggo managed to escape his prison and asks how he got out. Viggo reveals Snotlout let him out, much to Hiccup's annoyance. Viggo begs Hiccup to let him help fight against Ryker, but Hiccup still refuses to believe him and makes Snotlout babysit him. They soon find out that the Shellfire is firing against its will and the Dragon Riders can't take out the Hunters without hurting the dragon. One of the blasts hits the stables where Viggo is locked up, setting the place on fire. Hiccup sees this and goes to save Viggo who is surprised and honored that Hiccup would rescue him despite being enemies. Hiccup says "If I left you here to die, it would make me no better than you." Viggo once again asks Hiccup to let him help in taking down Ryker and that he has a plan all figured out. Hiccup finally agrees to let Viggo assist him. As he and Hiccup are flying out towards the Shellfire, Viggo tries to make small talk with Hiccup and even reveals that he knows about him and Astrid being in love. Hiccup tells Viggo to stay out of his personal life and to just get down to business. While hovering over the middle of the ocean, Viggo commands Toothless to stop, Hiccup is confused as there is nothing out here. Viggo then pulls out a dagger and raises it above his head as if to stab Hiccup, fortunately Astrid stops him. But Viggo instead drops the dagger in the water causing it to disturb the Submaripper, who begins fighting with the Shellfire being its natural enemy. The Hunters soon begin to abandon ship as the tidal class dragons continue to fight. Hiccup then sets Viggo down on the ground as he is starting to slow him and Toothless down, but once they're gone Viggo smiles menacingly. Hiccup goes to help Dagur and Fishlegs while the others take out the last of the Hunters' ships. Ryker then sinks with his ship and then sucked into the Submaripper's whirlpool. Hiccup tell Fishlegs to get the others to do a flyover to make sure the island is really out of danger. But just Hiccup believes it to be over, Viggo shows up with Astrid as his hostage and demands Hiccup return the Dragon Eye in exchange for her safety. Hiccup, furious tosses the Dragon Eye into the volcano causing Viggo to release Astrid to retrieve it. However, the edge where he is standing begins to collapse and Viggo falls into the volcano to his supposed demise.

### War with the Dragon Flyers

After a huge volcano eruption in "Living on the Edge", Hiccup decides to leave Dragon's Edge. He first wants to stabilize the island for the safety of the other dragons. He and Fishlegs mix Death Song amber with Gronckle Iron, and after many tries, they succeed in making a substance that will effectively seal the crevices and and stop the lava flow. However, they run out of both amber and iron. Hiccup sends Snotlout and the twins to fetch Gronckles from Dark Deep while he and Astrid fetch amber. When they arrive at Melody Island, they find no sign of a Death Song. Suddenly, a wild one appears but quickly collapses in front of them. Hiccup then recognizes it as Garff, a baby Death Song the riders had previously rescued. Astrid then decides to stay with Garff while Hiccup goes back with the amber.

At the Edge, the twins have managed to bring back Gronckles. Fishlegs feeds them the ingredients for Gronckle Iron and they all fly above the island. They successfully fill all the lava cracks and save the island. The next day, Astrid brings back Garff who has recovered from his wounds. Hiccup then explains to the other riders that the Dragon Hunters still capture dragons even without their leader and that they could not move to Berk at the moment. All the riders, except Snotlout, happily state that they didn't want to go home and they all stay on the Edge.

In "Sandbusted", Hiccup is preparing to give Astrid his betrothal gift, which will mark their sixth month anniversary and is a promise to be together forever, when he receives a Terror Mail from Johann in which the trader seeks the riders' help. At the Northern Markets, Johann explains how many traders have mysteriously disappeared and asks the teens to find an answer to the problem. They split up, Hiccup being partnered with Snotlout. While the two are talking, a group of thieves steal Hiccup's necklace. After chasing one of them, the boys end up on a beach. Hiccup is investigating strange small glass fragments when Snotlout is grabbed by a Sandbuster dragon and pulled underground. Hiccup is pulled too, leaving their dragons on the surface.

Underground, they find themselves in a cavern filled with treasure and skeletons. Amos, one of the thieves, has also been pulled down there, which explains why Hiccup and Snotlout were unable to find him, and together they build a tower out of some objects they find lying around. Meanwhile, Hiccup builds a trap for the Sandbuster. When they finally finish it, the Sandbuster attacks them. Hiccup then jumps on some wood material, launching objects into the glass that was blocking the sun. The Sandbuster is trapped by the light due to its sensibility. However, it shoots glass at the holes, covering them, and then destroys the wreckage Hiccup and the others were climbing. Hiccup then gets his betrothal gift to Astrid and reflects a last bit of light, distracting the Sandbuster. Fortunately, Astrid and the other riders arrive, breaking the glass and chasing the Sandbuster away. Hiccup then jumps behind Astrid on Toothless and they all get out.

Later, Johann thanks Hiccup and Astrid for finding out about the Sandbuster and leaves. Hiccup then gives his betrothal gift to Astrid which he reveals used to belong to his mother. He tells Astrid she has always been a part of their family and he hopes she always will be. Astrid reacts with a sigh which Hiccup misinterprets as disappointment until she explains she couldn't find him a gift to give in return. Hiccup quickly interrupts her and tells her that she is the greatest gift in the world and the only gift he needs. Astrid smiles at his words and they share a loving hug. The moment is, however, cut short when Snotlout accidentally throws a sword in front of Hiccup, who recognizes it as Viggo's Sword.

In "Something Rotten on Berserker Island", Hiccup and the Dragon Riders are invited to Berserker Island for an apprentice graduation ceremony where they are openly welcomed by Dagur and Heather. Hiccup takes notice of the dragons acting very agitated for some reason but doesn't dwell over it too hard. It's soon revealed that Dagur's new apprentice is actually Gustav, who then takes the riders for a tour around the island.

At the ceremony, Hiccup observes some unusual behavior from Savage before he suddenly crashes the stage and captures Dagur. In the meanwhile, Hiccup and the riders are able to escape away into a cave where they split up. Snotlout and Gustav are sent to Dagur's rescue while Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs and Heather return to the stables to free their dragons. The stables are heavily guarded but the twins are able to distract the guards long enough for Hiccup to sneak inside. However, the initial plan turns out to be futile as the dragons won't go anywhere near the inner parts of the island. Hiccup comments that he has never seen Toothless so disturbed before. Fishlegs then reminds Hiccup of the Red Death and the eels, to which Hiccup then rephrases that he has rarely seen Toothless so out of control. Heather still wants to take action, reminding the riders that she is a Berserker and she fully intends to rescue her brother even if it comes down to direct combat. Hiccup and the riders agree to the direct approach and break into the arena with Hiccup carrying both his shield and Inferno. During the fight Hiccup is also aided by Toothless who is watching from afar. He and the riders are eventually forced to surrender as Savage suddenly captures Heather and threatens to kill her. Fortunately, Snotlout and Dagur arrive just in time, quickly defeating Savage and regaining control of the island again.

During the ceremony the following day, Hiccup encourages Snotlout to go in the front of the island and accept the trophy Dagur is offering him for his courage in battle, as it was his moment of glory. While on their journey back to the Edge, Hiccup also sarcastically comments on how proud Snotlout must be of himself and his trophy from Dagur, knowing that the boy wanted very much to be noticed by the Chief of the Berserkers.

In "Snotlout's Angels", Hiccup arrives outside Snotlout's hut where he overhears Astrid and Snotlout heatedly arguing over Astrid's axe. He asks the twins what happened when Astrid suddenly barges out of the hut with a huff. Hiccup then learns of how Snotlout may have offended Astrid and suggests the youngest Jorgenson to leave the Edge with his dragon for a while, until Astrid would have calmed down and he would be safe.

When Snotlout doesn't return in time for dinner, Hiccup fears he might have caught been up in the uprising storm and mounts up the riders to go searching for him. Hiccup tells Toothless to use his echolocation, but finds nothing. He then observes Hookfang flying towards them and realizes that Snotlout is in danger, and takes follow after the Monstrous Nightmare.

While the riders stop by a sea sack to catch their breath, Hiccup asks Hookfang to take a break but the dragon remains restless and worried about his rider. As they return back to the skies, Hiccup and Fishlegs detect three flying women and believe them to be hallucinations at first until the other riders take notice of them as well. Hiccup then suggests that they try to find out more about them. The riders return to the sea stack and Hiccup uses his Spyglass to see the Wingmaidens taking Snotlout inside a cave. He then sets up a rescue mission which is to be executed by Astrid, Ruffnut and Heather as the Wingmaidens may not take too kindly to male presence. Hiccup and the other riders stay close by though, just in case the girls may need backup.

Astrid and the girls are joined by Atali when they return back for a renewal of the plan. Hiccup then comes up with the idea of distracting the female Razorwhips long enough for Astrid to rescue Snotlout but also warns the riders not to hurt the dragons as they are only protecting their eggs. In the end, the riders are successful in saving Snotlout.

Later that night, Atali invites Hiccup and the Dragon Riders to a toast in honor of their new alliance. Hiccup, Astrid and Snotlout sit together, with the latter finally apologizing to the girl for his bad behavior towards her.

In "A Matter of Perspective", Hiccup appears to be stuck in a rut with the device he is working on, which he is keeping a secret from the rest of the riders, including his girlfriend. Astrid attempts to make him open up about it but Hiccup is reluctant to reveal whatever it is just yet. Despite her teasing, she doesn't probe any further and instead hands him a message from Mala who is requesting their assistance.

After they arrive at Caldera Cay, Mala informs Hiccup and the riders that the Great Protector is getting old and will be leaving for Vanaheim soon. Hiccup asks Mala about it but she answers that she has never been there as it is a an island for dragons, not humans. Hiccup agrees with her stating (mostly for the twins) that humans shouldn't interfere in the dragon culture. He then says he would be sad if Toothless would leave him.

Next day, during the breakfast, Hiccup asks where the twins are, to which Throk replies that they have left the island. Hiccup then realizes that Ruff and Tuff followed the Eruptodon to Vanaheim, which angers him a lot.

When the riders arrive at the island, Hiccup and Toothless find a Sentinel, which they believe is only statue. He then wonders who carved them since no humans have been there. After a while they find the twins, which were eating Vanaheim Fruit. Hiccup has an argument with them about not listening to him. He then orders everyone to leave the island. However, they fail to do that, as the Sentinel dragons, which the riders mistake for statues, stop them with powerful wing blasts. Hiccup then suggests fighting them divided, as they seem a cooperative species. However, the riders fail again when the Sentinels manage to block every attack from them. Hiccup then suggests looking around the island and try leaving by foot. Hiccup, Astrid and Snotlout continue searching the island. When Hiccup mounted Toothless, a Sentinel immediately woke up and roared at them and Hiccup dismounted the dragon.

Later at night, the riders regroup and discuss the situation. They reach the conclusion that Vanaheim isn't the resting place of the Night Furies and that the Sentinels could not stop Toothless from leaving. Hiccup then gets on Toothless and together escape the Sentinels, noticing they are blind. Hiccup then realizes that he can't tell anyone about the island and instead returns and studies the Sentinels. He sees them tending to the island and feeding the Great Protector. He then comes up with a plan.

The next day, Hiccup returns to the riders, bringing with him a bag full of Vanaheim Fruit. He tells the others that the Sentinels are blind and that they could escape the island if they cover themselves and their dragons in fruit and fly quietly. They all throw fruit at each other, covering in its juice. Then, the riders fly away, followed by the Sentinels. However, Hookfang lights up, giving them away. Hiccup returns for Snotlout, but they are saved by the Great Protector, who distracts the dragons long enough for the riders to escape. Hiccup then orders Toothless to blast Tuffnut's book so that no one will ever know about Vanaheim.

At Dragons Edge, Astrid questions Hiccup's plan, to which he replies that it is a matter of perspective. They share a kiss and Hiccup goes back to his project, wanting to look at it in a different way.

In "Return of Thor Bonecrusher", when Snotlout tells the riders of the kidnapping of Alvin the Treacherous, Hiccup is surprised to find out that the Outcasts were seeking Thor Bonecrusher's help. When Fishlegs suggests bringing him back, Hiccup tells him that it is a terrible idea because Thor took over Fishlegs' body and was too heroic. He then says that he'll figure something out and leaves.

The next day, Hiccup finds out that Snotlout has hypnotized Fishlegs into Thor Bonecrusher, who double-crossed him and joined the bandits due to Snotlout telling him to be anti-heroic.

Later at night, Hiccup and the other riders go through the secret underwater tunnel on Outcast Island, but are surprised by Thor and the bandits. Snotlout is captured in the process, making Hiccup order in retreat.

On the island, Hiccup calms down the Outcasts, reassuring them that they will save Alvin. He then states that they have to come up with something that not even Fishlegs would expect.

Later, he brings Meatlug to Thor as an offering, only as a distraction so that Astrid can sneak in and free Snotlout. He then snaps Fishlegs out of it, only to be recaptured. Hiccup then orders retreat and asks the others about what they should do. However, Meatlug comes with a message from Thor. Hiccup reads it and comes up with a plan.

He, alongside the other riders, bring Ice Tail Pike to the bandits and warned in the last second by Snotlout that it is a trap. Hiccup then mounts Toothless and begins to fight. In the end, they free Alvin and defeat the bandits.

Later, Hiccup congratulates Fishlegs for his courage, remarking that he has a bit of Thor Bonecrusher inside him.

### War with the Dragon Hunters 2 and Race for the King of Dragons

In "In Plain Sight", Hiccup recruits Trader Johann on his search to find the remaining gems he needs to complete the Dragon Eye II. Johann convinces Hiccup to bring both the Dragon Eye lenses, and the Dragon Eye II, to the Northern Markets but in unable to stop the Twins from lagging behind. After Johann manages to separate the Twins from Hiccup they are ambushed by Dragon Hunters, who threaten Johann's life and demand for the lenses. However, just before Hiccup could give the lenses to the Dragon Hunters, the Twins return from their shopping trip in time to save them. Later, Johann and Hiccup venture into the lair of the Sandbuster where Johann reveals his deception and demands Hiccup to give him the Dragon Eye lenses. Luckily, Hiccup manages to fool Johann using the Sandbusters mirror like glass to confuse him. Both Hiccup, Toothless, and the Dragon Eye lenses all manage to escape from Johann.

In "No Bark, All Bite", when Johann sends Hiccup and Stoick on a wild goose chase for Willow Bark , Krogan and his Flyers attack Berk. Luckily they realize this and head back to Berk and defeat the Flyers.

"Chain of Command"

In "Loyal Order of Ingerman", after making an upsetting discovery about his past.Fishlegs sets out to discover if Dramillion's still exist. Hiccup doesn't want him to go because the Dragon Explorers are coming, so he asks Ruff and Tuff if they can be his substitute. They agree and he leaves for Dramillion Island. Astrid, unbeknownst to Fishlegs, follows him. Arriving at Dramillion Island, Fishlegs searches for Dramillions unsuccessfully. When he finds one, it's very aggressive towards him and attacks. Fishlegs and Meatlug defend themselves but the Dramillion proves hard to defend against. Astrid then arrives and helps Fishlegs. Once they stun it, it leaves and Fishlegs decides to follow it. Meanwhile back on the Edge, Ruff and Tuff are teaching the Explorers about the Zippleback but it goes wrong. On Dramillion Island, Fishlegs and Astrid are searching for a pack of Dramillions, but encounter Hunters instead. Fishlegs and Astrid then discover that Dramillion hunting is still a thing, the Dramillion that they encountered earlier has followed them and tried to free his pack but ends up getting caught himself. When the Dramillion frees itself, Fishlegs and Astrid look for it. They find it trying to break it's manacle on a tree, Fishlegs tries to train it but it remains aggressive towards him. Astrid suggests that he take his helmet off because it looks like the ones the Hunters wore, when he throws it away, the Dramillion becomes docile and lets Fishlegs train it. Just as they come up with a way to remove the manacle, the hunt begins and they set off to free the other Dramillions. On the Edge, Hiccup, Snotlout and the Twins are searching for the Explorers who went off and did their own thing. Back on Dramillion Island, Fishlegs and Astrid witness the Dramillions freeing the other members of their pack, when every Dramillion is freed, they go and attack the base of the Hunters and destroy it. When Fishlegs and Astrid return, Hiccup asks them about Dramillions and Fishlegs then continues his duty as teacher of the Explorers.

A Gruff Separation"

In "Mi Amore Wing", after Dagur and Mala announce they're getting married, Astrid then questions her relationship with Hiccup. After, the Riders deliver some scrap metal for the Armorwing. They notice that the dragon has a Dragon Eye lense wielded in it's body. After an argument between Hiccup and Astrid, Dragon Flyers arrive. They'd also seen the Dragon Eye lens in the Armorwing's body. Not long after, Hiccup decides that the only way the dragon will live, is to give the Flyers the lens. Hiccup then throws the lens in the water and says, If you want it, you get it. Krogan goes after it and successfully retrieves it. The Flyers then leave the area, the Riders question Hiccup on his actions and Hiccup replies: "All I know is today we are saving this dragon." Back at the Edge, Hiccup apologizes to Astrid for his behavior towards her, gives her the necklace back and the two engage in a long kiss.

"Ruff Transition"

In "Triple Cross", when Krogan and Johann betray Viggo, he asks Hiccup to help him get revenge. Hiccup doesn't trust him and attacks. After a short fight between the two, they discuss how they get revenge and that Viggo poisoned Toothless by feeding him Red Oleander. Later they fly to an island where a Skrill is located. The Skrill attacks them and burns Toothless' 'repaired' fin, as the Skrill wanted to fire Toothless wanted to fire back but Viggo stopped him and held a metal dagger in front of them, while telling Hiccup and Toothless how Beserkers trapped Skrills, the Skrill calmed down and Viggo promised not to torture the dragon. When they arrived at Johann and Krogan's base, they used the Skrill to distract the Flyers so that they could get in. Viggo then held Hiccup hostage in front of Toothless when Johann and Krogan appeared, they then discussed lenses and what to do with Hiccup. Johann suspected Viggo of betrayal and threatened him, Viggo got away and found the Skrill lying under chains in water. Meanwhile Hiccup found the chamber where the Dragon Eye and lenses should be. After discovering that the Dragon Eye and lenses weren't there, Viggo reveals the poisoning was a bluff and that he'd learnt to treat dragons as equals since a Monstrous Nightmare saved him from Johann and Krogan. He also revealed he had 4 arrows in his back and told Hiccup, Toothless and the Skrill to go and that he'd buy them time to escape. The Skrill refused to leave and created an explosion that killed the Hunters and Viggo. Soon after the explosion Hiccup and Toothless are captured by Johann, but Ruffnut and Tuffnut (They followed him because they needed a witness for their record) saved him and they got away. Back at the Edge Hiccup tells them what happened, slightly later he's in his hut with Astrid. She feels it's weird having Viggo gone, he places the piece that Viggo gave him on the bord before knocking it over and covering the game with some wood.

In "Family Matters", when the Riders learn of Krogan using a Death Song to subdue more Singetails, Hiccup and the Riders launch an operation to free the Death Song and Singetails. It goes well until Garff, who would otherwise be lonely on his island, saw the Death Song and decided to attack. Fishlegs, who was looking after a hurt singetail, recruited a Cavern Crasher to help the other Riders escape.

In "Darkest Night", after Stoick got gravely injured by the Flyers, Hiccup and the Riders return to Berk. Hiccup is then made act-in chief, although the only thing Hiccup can think about is his father. The other Riders try to comfort him by saying he'll pull through, with no success. Hiccup then spends some time alone, but Toothless joins him and Hiccup apologizes for what he said earlier. Astrid then joins the duo and finally manages to convince Hiccup that Stoick will pull through. Hiccup does one last check on his father, but is cut short when Heather and Windshear crash-land just before his house.

"Guardians of Vanaheim"

In "King of Dragons, Part 1", with the 5th lens in place, the Dragon Eye II shows a picture of a Titanwing Dramillion which they believe that's the 'King of Dragons'. Spitelout then shows up telling Hiccup that he has to go to Berk, because the Council gave him a direct order. Hiccup tells Astrid then that if Krogan and Johann somehow harness the King of Dragons' power, it would be back to the days of the Red Death. So they leave for Dramillion Island, they are surprised that both Johann and Krogan have beat them to the island. They then engage with the Flyers, the Dramillions mix in fighting against both Rider and Flyer. Fishlegs then remarks that they are trying to protect something very close which turns out to be a Titanwing Dramillion. Krogan orders his men to concentrate all fire on the Titanwing, while hitting some adults in the process, the Riders then try to help the Dramillions but are unable to stop a harpoon hitting the Titanwing. On a sinking ship, Ruff, Tuff, Snotlout and Gruffnut (He was a figurehead on one of Johann's ships for a random reason, the Twins helped cut the ropes but Gruffnut needed something that was on the ship. When they found it, it turned out that it was booby-trapped and the ship started sinking.) They couldn't get out, so Hiccup had to free them first before going after Johann. They found the Titanwing lying in the middle of the ocean, but didn't know why. They took it to Defender of the Wing Island where Mala and Throk looked after it, while Fishlegs figured that the Titanwing wasn't the 'King of Dragons'. The Titanwing then opened it's mouth to reveal it's own flame. Hiccup held the Dragon Eye II in front of it and the map to the real King of Dragons was revealed: Beserker Island. Then we see Dagur and Heather walking very close to the Beserker Village, discussing things. An alarm then rings and we see Johann, Krogan and the Dragon Flyers approaching.

The Shield is Hiccup's second weapon.

Both of these were constructed by Hiccup himself and both are made of Gronckle Iron.

## Abilites

Being the central character of the franchise, Hiccup has many varied and useful talents.

* **Dragon Training and Riding:** Though he only discovers that he has this ability during the first film, Hiccup has grown to become the best Dragon Trainer on the island. His dragon, Toothless the Night Fury, is the rarest and best dragon in the Academy. Hiccup openly claims to be the best Dragon Rider in the episode "Thawfest". He and Toothless clearly have the strongest bond of all the riders and their dragons in the series. Because of his talents, he has been made the head of the Berk Dragon Academy. In the franchise, Hiccup is always the one looked at when dragon-related problems or needs come up. He managed to train a wild Monstrous Nightmare in seconds in "Defiant One". This is noticeably faster than even Astrid who had to train the same type of dragon and does manage to do so but takes longer. He's also able to keep an enraged Whispering Death from running over him by simply putting his hand forward in "What Flies Beneath". Still, some dragon challenges (including said Whispering Death) are greater than his ability, but he can always rely on Toothless and the other teens to have his back. Hiccup has managed to devise a more effective method of calming wild dragons with Inferno as it produces the dragon fire of both a Monstrous Nightmare and a Hideous Zippleback. This makes the dragons consider Hiccup as one of their own as only a 'dragon' should be able to wield dragon fire. He managed to earn the trust of Scardian and his pack of dragons that hated humans by simply showing them his flight suit.

* + He can make a roaring noise that sounds similar to Toothless' roar, as a way for Toothless to find Hiccup easily.

* **Leadership:** Despite spending most of his life ignored by others, Hiccup is a natural-born leader. Most of the time the other riders follow his commands without question. However, he has difficulty trying to control the rest of the village when he is made Acting Chief in "Cast Out, Part 2". In *Race to the Edge*, Stoick notices Hiccup's abilities as a leader improving, ultimately convinced that Hiccup is ready to become the new Chief of Berk by the time of the second film.

* **Drawing:** Even before Hiccup begins to train dragons, he practices drawing. He is practically never without his journal and a large charcoal pencil. His sketches are usually quick and slightly messy, but compared to most other Vikings he is quite good. He uses this talent often. He sketches Toothless upon his second encounter with him. He uses his notebook to copy the map to the Isle of Night in a few seconds (unfortunately). He uses his artistic talent to aid him in making plans and inventions. His room is littered with drawings of Toothless.

* **Inventing:** Hiccup learned a great deal about crafting from Gobber. His many years of apprenticeship have certainly paid off. He has created many ingenious devices throughout the franchise. He uses the forge well (despite his small size), and he's excellent at working leather. His devices were originally weapon like, and the Mangler cannon he designed allowed him to take down Toothless. After training Toothless he shifted in his desires and started working on a new tail for Toothless. This tail has been modified many times and is a work of sheer genius. He even created an auto tail using complex gear systems. Besides that Hiccup has managed to design a plethora of other objects, from winches to telescopes. He invented his own flightsuit and his Dragon Blade, Inferno, which were both inspired by dragons' abilities. He was also able to build a set of welding goggles using the Death Song's amber that could withstand the glow of a Flightmare and sunrise. He managed to create the Diving Bell using a smelting cauldron and a diving helmet.

* **Intelligence:** This talent is really at the heart of all of Hiccup's other abilities. His intelligence is proven many times throughout the film and the series. He's almost always the one to come up with the solutions to the problems that the Riders face. He's shown to be very cunning, resourceful and perceptive and possesses a great aptitude for strategy and tactics. He's also fairly knowledgeable. Unlike Fishlegs who only states facts, Hiccup is able to use them for practical use and he does it very well. He was able to solve all the riddles on Hamish's treasure map in "Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man", even when under pressure. The feat is especially notable because it was said that only the most brilliant mind could solve those clues.

* **Strength and Fighting Skills:** Due to Hiccup's initial size, he's not much of a fighter. In fact, most weapons are too heavy for him and struggle to lift them. Hiccup usually fights alongside Toothless. Their style is more about defense. The only time Hiccup and Toothless attacked first was against Alvin in "We Are Family, Part 2". Other than that, it is easy for others to overtake Hiccup. Hiccup was also able to face Dagur with only his new shield in "The Night and the Fury". Hiccup was also able to fight Outcasts and Berserkers without a problem using his shield in "Cast Out, Part 2". Hiccup has been shown to have an impressive strength when angered or in defense. Prime examples are in "The Zippleback Experience" when Hiccup punches Snotlout hard enough to knock out a few of his teeth. He was also able to block a Berserker with just his hands. While Hiccup does not do any direct fighting in *How to Train Your Dragon 2*, he does wield his Dragon Blade, Inferno, with great precision and skill, such as when freeing Stormfly or preventing Drago from reaching his bullhook. It was also shown that by this time he had become a proficient and accurate archer alongside the other Riders. He is also able to carry Astrid around. Hiccup has been seen fighting with both Inferno and his shield in several occasions, such as in "Something Rotten on Berserker Island" and "King of Dragons, Part 2".

* **Precision:** Like Toothless, Hiccup has an amazing aim, like when he was able to shoot Toothless down in the first film and in "Appetite for Destruction" hit a Deadly Nadder in the chest using his shield while flying in mid-air. He also managed to throw Inferno with enough accuracy that it landed right in front of Drago's hand just as he was reaching for his bullhook to control his Bewilderbeast. He has been seen launching bolas from his shield with very good accuracy, almost never missing.

* **Reflexes:** Hiccup is shown to have pretty good reflexes. An example of this is in the episode of *Race To The Edge*, "Gold Rush". Ryker is chasing Hiccup while slashing his sword at him. Hiccup is able to roll under the sword just in time to save his head. He is also able to quickly move his hands so that Ryker's sword doesn't strike him but breaks his handcuffs.

* **Swimming:** Though he says he's not much of a swimmer, he was able to pull Astrid out of the deep water in "Night of the Hunters, Part 1", and with the help of Toothless' tail in "Dire Straits", he was able to swim back and forth to free the Submaripper. Though he did start to sink and had to be rescued by Astrid and Stormfly, Hiccup was able to swim a far length downward to save Berk's chest of gold in "Last Auction Heroes".

* **Endurance:** While it may seem hard to believe at first due to his small stature, Hiccup always manages to bounce back from a severe injury. For example, in "When Lightning Strikes", he was struck directly in the head by a massive bolt of lightning, and still managed to wake up the next morning. Also, at the end of *How to Train Your Dragon*, he was knocked off of Toothless by the Red Death's massive club-tail, and (with the help of Toothless, of course) managed to wake up about a couple days later.

* **Persuasion:** Hiccup is known to be very persuasive, (Astrid says so herself) as he has convinced his father, the teens, the whole village of Berk, Dagur, Alvin, even Eret to give dragons a closer look and see the beauty of them. In "Buffalord Soldier", he also managed to persuade Viggo to give him the cure for the Scourge of Odin, to save Astrid.

* **Prosthetic Leg:** Hiccup's prosthetic leg has its pros and cons. Unlike his real leg Hiccup can use the metal leg to many different advantages. Other than using it to walk for its main purpose, he can use it as a weapon as he did in "We Are Family, Part 2" when knocking out one of Alvin's guards. He can also get rid of it if it's necessary for a situation. In *Dragons: Race to the Edge*, when Hiccup was kidnapped by Krogan and they got knocked over onto the ledge of a cliff, Hiccup untied his leg to drop Krogan off. It can also be harmed without injuring Hiccup physically. 2 examples are when Hiccup and Toothless went down to explore a Dragon Hunters ship and his prosthetic leg got caught in a metal claw trap, and after releasing his leg he said: "One of the perks of having a metal leg I guess." In "Frozen", when a Speed Stinger tried to sting him it hit his metal leg instead, causing no paralysis as he would with his original leg. Of course, there are disadvantages to the prosthetic leg. The obvious disadvantage is if he loses the leg or it's damaged from its function he cannot walk at all and becomes vulnerable to attacks. Along with that, he will need to replace it if it's damaged, just like he did in "The Zippleback Experience" when Barf and Belch kept destroying it. He also gets teased for it as Snotlout does to him throughout the whole series. It can also be attracted to a strong enough magnet as it was in "The Iron Gronckle" episode. In *How to Train Your Dragon 2* Hiccup is very familiar with his prosthetic leg and is able to switch it from a walking leg to a flying leg without turning to look at it. In *The Serpent's Heir,* Hiccup used his prosthetic leg to cut open his chains with which he was bound, indicating it was strong enough (and quite possibly sharp enough) to break open metals. Later, he also uses it to unlock a door, showing that it can be used as a key.

* **Sailing:** In *How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World*, Hiccup is able to sail with a small ship near the entrance of Hidden World without being pulled by the currents in the waterfall, which indicates that he is a very good sailor.

## Trivia

* Hiccup seems to have gotten his name from the fact that he was born early, so he was smaller and weaker than the other babies. The odd name also coincides with the first movie that Vikings are given hideous names to “frighten off gnomes and trolls.”
* According to both the "Making of..." documentary and the film's script, Hiccup was unconscious for "a week or two" after losing his leg.
* All official sources since 2014 state Hiccup's age to be 15 in the first film, however it's suggested by Chris Sanders in the film maker's commentary, and at times by Jay Baruchel[2] that he was originally supposed to be 14.
	+ According to the "Making of..." documentary, the film's crew played with the ages 16-18 during earlier phases of the film's development.
* Hiccup is ambidextrous.
	+ Despite wielding weapons with either hand in the films and series, DreamWorks has officially classified him as left-handed, matching his book series counterpart.[3]
* Hiccup is a rather bad liar and seems to be pressured by guilt into admitting things easily.
* Hiccup and Astrid are the only Dragon Riders to have gotten married, as far as we know.
* Hiccup is the shortest among the gang in the first film but is the tallest in the sequel and beyond.
* Hiccup and Fishlegs are the only Dragon Riders who have green eyes.
* In the first film, Hiccup almost died when he fell into the inferno of the Red Death's exploding body, which Toothless protected him from. In the second film, he almost died in a completely opposite way, when Drago's Bewilderbeast shot him with an icy blast, from which Toothless also protected him.
* As of the first film, Hiccup is the only known Viking to have trained a dragon. However, in the second and third films, it's revealed that Valka, Drago, and possibly Grimmel had actually trained dragons before Hiccup had.
* All three films show Hiccup impersonating his father, Stoick. He has gotten much better in impersonation over time.
* As noted by the twins, Hiccup is a bad actor.
* In *Dragons: Race to the Edge*, Hiccup seems to already have two small braided sections of his hair. But as shown in *How to Train Your Dragon 2*, Hiccup's hair is braided by Astrid when they're officially a couple. As *Dragons: Race to the Edge* takes place before the second film, Hiccup's hair should not have those two braids.
* Hiccup loves Fishlegs' mother's crabcakes.
* The dragons understand Hiccup's leadership. In *Dragons: Race to the Edge*, when Fishlegs was "kidnapped" by a flock of aggressive albino Night Terrors and Astrid contracted The Scourge of Odin, Meatlug and Stormfly went to Hiccup for help.
* Hiccup seems to have inherited his mother's connection with dragons, dramatic flair, and crafting skills, along with his father's stubbornness and leadership skills.
* According to Fishlegs and Astrid, Hiccup is a very good gift-giver.
* In "Saving Shattermaster" and "Out of the Frying Pan", Hiccup is seen with bare arms for the first time.
	+ However, as seen in a flashback, he had bare arms as an infant.
* According to Alvin in "Defiant One", Hiccup weighs 90 lbs when he is 15. Mildew reinforces this in "We Are Family, Part 2", by emphasising his distaste in going to a group of dragons to train them, to escape Outcast Island, by saying he only has a "90 pound boy" as a human shield.
* In the first film, Hiccup expresses his inability to kill a dragon, however he is the only human character to be shown getting a confirmed kill (with assistance from Toothless).
