**Grimmel the Grisly** is the main antagonist of the DreamWorks animated *How to Train Your Dragon* franchise. He hunted down ask the Night Furies to near-extinction but Toothless escaped his slaughter. Now he sets his eyes on finishing the job. Grimmel is one of Hiccup's most hated rivals and the most dangerous adversary the Dragon Riders have ever faced.

## Role

He is the unseen overarching antagonist in the first two films *How to Train Your Dragon* and *How to Train Your Dragon 2*, and the main antagonist of the third and final film *How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World*. He also serves as the unseen overarching antagonist of the 2011 short film *Book of Dragons*, the TV Series *DreamWorks Dragons* and the video game *Dragons: Dawn of New Riders*, as well as a playable character and major antagonist in the video game *School of Dragons* and finally as one of the two posthumous overarching antagonists of *How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming* (along with Drago Bludvist) and the series *Dragons: The Nine Realms*.

## Background

### Personality

Cruel, evil and vindictive, Grimmel is obsessed with looking for all the Night Furies and hunting them down and killing them. He was absolutely determined to look for Toothless and finish the job himself.He is also quite arrogant, as he views Hiccup lowly for for his ideas of dragons and Humans living together, passing him off as just a boy rather than a Chief of Berk and also claims to be the best dragon killer in the Archipeligo. He is quite intimidating by personality and appearance.

Grimel held Stoick in the highest regards,  calling him the greatest dragon hunter to have ever lived and claims that Stoick knew of him. He and Eret met in the past, who became well aware of Grimmel's work.

Though Grimmel was mocking of Hiccup, he still admitted the younger man for his fighting spirit.

### Physical Appearance

Grimmel was a lanky and tall man with grey hair, light blue eyes, and pale skin. He has a long face, similar to that of Ruffnut's and Tuffnut's.

## Appearances

### *How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World*

Grimmel fell into the ocean and into his death.

## Video games

### *Dawn of New Dragon Riders*

Grimmel does not actually appear in the game, but he is identified as being called "G" in the game and referred to as the "pale poacher."

## Trivia

* Grimmel was intended to be younger, around the same age as Hiccup. However, it was changed to "give him a more seasoned appearance."
* Due to his immense sadism, utter racism and genocidal intentions towards all dragons, and his merciless murdering of all the Night Furies except Toothless, Grimmel is considered by most fans to be the most evil, cruel, and depraved villain of any Dreamworks film and the franchise as a whole.
* Despite being the main antagonist he doesn't play an active role until the third and final film in 2019, at least nine years since the first film's release
