Snotlout Jorgenson

Snotlout

> Snotlout! Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi!
>
> Snotlout's catchphrase

**Snotlout Jorgenson** AKA **Snotlout** is the right-hand of Hiccup. He is the son of Spitelout Jorgenson. He is also a member of the Dragon Riders. He rides a Monstrous Nightmare named Hookfang.

## Physical Appearance

Snotlout looked somewhat muscular like his book series counterpart.

In *How to Train Your Dragon* and *DreamWorks Dragons: The Series*, he's always worn his helmet with spiral sheep horns, his tunic tucked in his pants with open-stitching and a black vest over it, dark gray bracers on his arms, and matching fur boots.

In *Dragons: Race to the Edge*, he is seen without his fur vest.

## Personality

Snotlout is very arrogant, bordering on narcissistic and prone to grandiose delusions of perfection, popularity and extreme attractiveness and consequentially his egomania causes him to have a huge problem with authority or being able to admit responsibility for his mistakes or misdeeds, for which he always has some justification. He appears to consider himself the smartest and strongest of the teens and wants to be praised and admired accordingly, despite the others usually considering him an annoying, immature idiot with a colossal ego. However, his bragging is not without basis, as he is quite a good fighter and smarter than the others think. His selfishness and egomania cause him to often be inconsiderate and exploitative towards others, and will often put the others down to make himself look better. In interviews, Jonah Hill has said that deep down Snotlout knows he is not the best but still wants to be thought of as such, implying his vainglorious posing is more about overcompensation. He likes to think he can handle everything, but when he can't, he is not above asking for help. He is confrontational, brutally frank, and stubborn.

In *Dragons: Race to the Edge*, Snotlout is not as egocentric as he was but has become highly sarcastic toward Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III's more dangerous plans.

From the glimpses of his family in the television series, it is easy to see how Snotlout is a product of his upbringing, since Spitelout Jorgenson (Snotlout's father) is shown to be just as arrogant and disrespectful as his son, and places great pressure on Snotlout to meet his incredibly high standards and preserve the family reputation. Earning his father's love and approval clearly causes Snotlout a great deal of insecurity and anxiety, and in this way, he is similar to Hiccup, though it is unacknowledged, since Snotlout either keeps it to himself or is in denial about his father's clearly unfair treatment of him. All of the flaws in his personality can most likely be attributed to his father and his upbringing, and how much he wants to impress his father by being the best.

In the television series, one of Snotlout's more outstanding traits is his adversarial relationship with Hiccup, whom he often deliberately disrespects and ridicules — though this has lessened with time. In that, he is not unlike Alvin the Treacherous, who did much the same thing to Stoick the Vast. Snotlout will regularly attempt to undermine Hiccup in front of the others by trying to appear more knowledgeable or worthy as a leader, but since he is neither of these things, he often just ends up making himself look like an idiot. Snotlout has stated that he thinks of Hiccup and himself as arch-enemies and states that they are not friends, though this view is largely unfounded and not reciprocated in any way by Hiccup, who refers to Snotlout as his friend despite being regularly exasperated by his behavior. Snotlout's antagonism of Hiccup is partially a result of his dislike of authority figures, but is also implied to stem from deep jealousy of Hiccup's standing within the tribe, the respect he receives from the other teens despite being previously being thought of as a runt, and (probably most of all) his close, semi-romantic relationship with Astrid Hofferson, whom Snotlout has a huge crush on and relentlessly, arrogantly flirts with, despite Astrid being repulsed by him to the point of nausea.

## Biography

### Beginning

Three years after the end of the war with the Berserkers, Snotlout became the Armory's Official Weapons Tester.

In "Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 1", Snotlout went with Hiccup and the other dragon riders to track down Dagur at the Ship Graveyard to stop him from stealing Trader Johann's treasures.

In "Big Man on Berk" he attempted to catch a wild Scauldron with the rest of the Riders, but was thrown off due to Fishlegs' allergies. When Fishlegs was hypnotized to not be allergic anymore, he interjected by saying that they could change him into someone stronger, braver, and more worthy of respect. When Fishlegs woke up, he was this Viking, who went by the name Thor Bonecrusher. Snotlout followed him around Berk, inciting him to perform ever more heroic exploits.

The rest of the Riders found them at the same time the rest of the Speed Stingers did. Snotlout grabbed Speedy and ran off to save the other Riders, but got ambushed.

However, en route to the island, Snotlout dropped the axe on Iron Isle, where the Armorwing Bandit had taken it as part of his armor. At first, he failed to get the axe, but Snotlout came up with an idea to bring Breakneck Bog's Smothering Smokebreaths to get the axe. Snotlout's plan worked, and with Astrid's help he was able to grab the axe, and then they drove the Smokebreaths away when they saw them attacking Bandit. Their dragons then gave Bandit pieces of metal. Snotlout and his friends then arrived at the island of Friga.

He manages to get to the end without being bitten, but then three giant eels get in his way. Fishlegs and Meatlug try to get him out, but he refuses. Fishlegs then falls off of Meatlug into the maze.

They find a hole full of Slitherwings, and Snotlout and Hiccup agree that going in there is a bad idea, but they still have to do it. Snotlout tries to keep the rescue mission quiet, so as not to disturb the Slitherwings, but it is a futile effort. When the Slitherwings wake up, Snotlout runs out with the others, and they find a better island for Garff.

In "Snuffnut" Snotlout is unimpressed by Tuffnut's attempt to scare him, but is attacked by an actual Changewing. He mourns when Tuffnut seemingly dies, but is unsurprised when he turns up alive.

In "Searching for Oswald... and Chicken" Snotlout helps Tuffnut find Chicken by narrating events as they happen, almost breaking the fourth wall.

In "Sins of the Past" he goes to the Northern Markets to buy chicken feed for Chicken, but ends up getting scammed out of nearly everything he owns. Dragon Flyers attack the Northern Markets looking for Heather, and Snotlout saves her and Johann, but Windshear is captured. Hookfang flies everyone out of there, but is too tired to do battle while carrying 3 Riders. Snotlout urges Heather not to give up her Dragon Eye lens, but ultimately realizes that doing so is the right decision. When the Riders attack the Flyers to get the lens back, Snotlout is fouled up from catching it by Johann.

### King of Dragons

In "In Plain Sight" Snotlout and Fishlegs go with Dagur to get a Dragon Eye lens from an old enemy of Dagur's. Ansson, who now has the lens, used to bully Dagur as a kid, and Snotlout is confused as to why Dagur doesn't just take the lens back. He tells Dagur that all bullies want something, and to offer Ansson what he wants. When Dagur and Ansson come back from the fishing trip without a Thunderfish, having found a Scauldron instead, Dagur tells people that Ansson was heroic and Snotlout cheers him, prompting the rest of the crowd to do the same.

In "No Bark, All Bite" Snotlout flies to Berk with the other Riders to break the news about Johann's treachery to Stoick. After Hiccup and Stoick leave to collect willow bark, Snotlout gets extremely hungry when Gobber will not allow any other merchants to sell their food until he decides which one he can trust, so he watches the cooking competition with jealousy. When Berk is betrayed and Dragon Hunters break into the Great Hall, Snotlout is hit on the head and captured before anyone has time to do anything. Snotlout gets angry at Gobber for saying his plan to escape out loud. He and the other Riders then use Gobber's second plan to escape, but find themselves unable to break out of the barricaded Great Hall. When the barricade is broken open, he and the other Riders escape, and the Flyers flee.

"Chain of Command"

In "Loyal Order of Ingerman" Snotlout attempts to lead a troop of young Berkian "Gronckle Scouts" and reform them into "Monstrous Nightmare Scouts." Unfortunately, the twins are attempting the same thing but with the Hideous Zippleback. When the kids run off, Snotlout and the twins go to get them back. Snotlout convinces the twins to crawl through a thorn bush, but accidentally crawls through poison oak instead. When they finally get the kids back to base, they blow up Snotlout's hut.

In "A Gruff Separation" Snotlout prepares to celebrate the Twins' birthday party. He then watches as they complete the Thorston Initiation Trials.

"Mi Amore Wing"

In "Ruff Transition" Snotlout assumes that Ruffnut will fail at being a Wingmaiden. Every time Tuffnut passes a challenge for her, Snotlout is surprised because he doesn't realize that it's Tuffnut. At the end of the episode, he finally admits that she became a good Wingmaiden.

In "Triple Cross" Snotlout is unwilling to help the twins with their record, stating that he has better things to do, but being unwilling to clarify these things. He is suspicious of Viggo's fake Terror Mail. At the end, he remarks that Hiccup's plan to defeat the hunters was smart.

"Family Matters"

In "Darkest Night" Snotlout envisions a future for Berk where he had become Berk's Official Weapon's Inventor, created a superweapon, and become loved by all.

In "Guardians of Vanaheim" Snotlout goes to Vanaheim with the other Riders to stop the Flyers. When they chase them down, he advises against going in the giant storm, but Hiccup decides that they do it anyway. Snotlout, Hiccup, and Astrid get surrounded by Flyers and pinned down in a wrecked ship with Hookfang injured. Snotlout gives Hiccup the idea to let the storm take out the Flyers for them.

"King of Dragons, Part 1"

"King of Dragons, Part 2"

## Dragons

* **Hookfang** (primary)
* **Barf and Belch** (with Tuffnut; briefly)

## Weapons

* **Mace**
* **Axe**
* **Sword**

## Abilities

Snotlout is actually a very competent fighter, so his bragging is not entirely baseless.

* **Strength and Fighting Skills**: Snotlout can lift heavy objects, like sheep over his shoulder, and even manage to run with it. ("Thawfest") He was also able to pin Hookfang's horns to the ground and clamp a Monstrous Nightmare's mouth shut. ("Heather Report, Part 2") When training for the Thawfest Games, which proved that he was physically the most powerful among the teens, he was seen pulling small trees out of the ground and then throwing them. ("Thawfest") Additionally, he appears to have enhanced strength as he sends an Outcast soldier flying several feet away with a single kick and appears to be skilled in combat as he easily beats Savage with a connecting rod, as well as besting multiple Outcast soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. ("Defiant One") He can also easily take on multiple Berserkers with minimal effort. ("Something Rotten on Berserker Island") However, it is interesting to note he was occasionally defeated by much weaker opponents, such as Terrible Terrors and sheep.

* **Endurance and Stamina:** Snotlout's stamina and endurance have proven to be high, seeing how he performed in the Thawfest Games. He still came out fine after being hit in the face by a rock ("Thawfest") or bitten multiple times by his Terror, Pain. ("Worst in Show") Another example of this is when he got crushed by Meatlug and her rather heavy rider. ("Worst in Show")

* **Accuracy**: In the Thawfest Games, Snotlout has been seen throwing axes at targets with great accuracy, even without looking. ("Thawfest") However, he used this ability once again by throwing Pain to save Meatlug. ("Worst in Show") Also, he has skills with a bow and arrow like the others. ("Buffalord Soldier", *How to Train Your Dragon 2*)

* **Acrobatics:** Snotlout has good reflexes, being able to dodge the attacks of enemies and being the only one who could hold his balance on a running log during the Thawfest Games. He can also manage to balance himself by standing on Hookfang's neck. Astrid, however, might have beaten him, if it wasn't for Fishlegs messing up her attempts. ("Thawfest")

* **Dragon Training and Riding:** Despite being part of the Academy, Snotlout is probably the worst Dragon Trainer of them all, however, this is almost certainly because of Hookfang's stubbornness. He managed to train the stubborn and aggressive Hookfang in the film, however, Hookfang has been shown to often tease and disobey Snotlout. The Terrible Terror he trained constantly bit him, Snotlout claiming that is what he was taught, yet this proved useful when Pain used his jaw strength to save Meatlug from the Outcasts. Despite this, he did find out you can calm down Monstrous Nightmares by pinning their horns to the ground, showing he does know what he's doing. Seeing how Hookfang flew almost as fast as Toothless in the Thawfest Games, it is possible Hookfang's speed increased as a result of Snotlout's training, though this may not be the case as hard training on his dragon caused Hookfang to become ill. ("Race to Fireworm Island") Snotlout also figured out a powerful combination attack, using Hookfang's Wing Blast and his breath weapon. This attack was used against Dagur the Deranged and his soldiers. He also discovered the Deadly Nadder's skill of 'Single Spine Shot', by tapping the back of Stormfly's head. He also did a great job to impress Hiccup when practicing rescue skills for Vikings, but Hookfang blasted fire and stomped on the prop Vikings. ("Worst in Show")

* **Teaching:** When Snotlout had become convinced he was going to die, he planned to recruit Gustav so he could be his successor. Thanks to Snotlout, Gustav bonded with his own dragon, a Monstrous Nightmare named Fanghook. Snotlout encouraged Gustav in the battle with Dagur and his soldiers, causing their mission to succeed. This shows that Snotlout can be a good teacher, though in his own 'special' way.

* **Intelligence and Inventing:** He is not the brightest compared to Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Astrid but he does his best to try to be smart, often times, as he shows himself to be smarter than the Twins since they can't seem to get past the number 3. This is made apparent when he told Hiccup that Toothless didn't want Hiccup to interfere with the battle of his archnemesis, a Whispering Death. He managed to build a raft but wasn't successful as it sank a few seconds after he got on it. He even knew that the trainers will never know who is the best at training dragons since they did not have a level playing field. He also understood the concept of air mail when he saw the letter that the Twins didn't know about as he said that it will be useful someday. Snotlout was also taught by his mother how to stitch and sew objects together. Snotlout demonstrated this when he and Hiccup made armor out the Screaming Death's scales in order to rescue the other Riders from Ryker Grimborn's Dragon Hunters. Although he is not as proficient compared to Hiccup when building inventions, *Dawn of the Dragon Racers* reveals that he managed to create a sheep launcher — though it took him 32 times to get it to be successful — and this invention is used in the dragon race in the sequel.

* **Climbing:** Just like his dragon, Hookfang, he has shown to be a great climber as he showed no signs of struggle in doing so, even when getting hit in the face with rocks in the Thawfest Games. ("Thawfest")

* **Dragon Roar:** He first attempted to use this skill by trying to make roar of a Changewing, which according to Fishlegs was wrong. ("We Are Family, Part 1") A few years later, he had mastered his roar for a Monstrous Nightmare to call Hookfang. ("Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 2")

* **Stitching:** Snotlout is taught how to stitch by his mother, and he was able to cross-stitch Screaming Death scales onto Toothless and Hookfang as protective armor from dragon root arrows. ("Night of the Hunters, Part 2") Snotlout later showed regret at not using a lock-stitch to fasten the armor on when pieces started breaking away.

* **Singing:** Snotlout shows to be a good singer when he sang to a baby Fireworm, ("Crash Course") and when he sang to an adult Death Song. ("Imperfect Harmony") However, when he sang to Garff, the baby Death Song shot amber at Snotlout because he insulted the dragon. ("Tone Death")

* **Acting:**

Snolout is a very competent actor, even able to fool Viggo Grimborn into believing he was a wealthy merchant. However, he accidentally exposed himself by using Berkian coins. ("Last Auction Heroes")

* **Hypnotizing:** Snotlout is a skilled hypnotist, as he was able to hypnotize Fishlegs from his usually meek and sweet-loving behavior to the heroic personality of Thor Bonecrusher. ("Big Man on Berk", "Return of Thor Bonecrusher")

* **Writing:** Snotlout has been shown to actually be a good writer. In "Family Matters", he is shown writing a book called "The World According to Snotlout" or "The Wit and Wisdom of Snotlout" including twelve chapters. It is said, even by Astrid, his greatest critic, that the last chapter "The Egg and I" was well written, and the book was very good.

* **Trapping:** In "Something Rotten on Berserker Island" Snotlout is shown to be good at creating traps, making a rope trap that knocked three Berserkers down a well and allowed him to grab their keys.

* **Leading:** Snotlout is shown to be a competent leader on many occasions, being good at battle tactics and able to inspire the other Riders into following him. In "Not Lout" Snotlout is at first not considered a good leader, but that is because he allows what his father said to throw him off, and at the end of the episode shows himself capable of leading an effective mission. In "Dawn of Destruction" he is able to lead the twins and Fishlegs, arguably the weakest Riders, in mounting an effective defense of the Edge against Singetails, only failing because of the huge number and reinforcements of said Singetails.

## Trivia

* Many official sources disagree on his height. Some say he's 5'6", others say he's 5'3". Even the Viking Guide says one height in his description, yet in their height chart, he's shown to be the other.

* Snotlout feels naked without his helmet, as he states in "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".

* According to Hiccup in "Not Lout", Snotlout loves the strategy game, Maces and Talons.

* He and Hookfang are the only Dragon Riders who weren't seen in the credits of the third film.

* His middle name was revealed in "Something Rotten on Berserker Island" to be Gary.

* He is probably the Berk record holder for "Longest Time Nadder-Spiked to a Wall."
