Fishlegs Ingerman

**Fishlegs Justin Ingerman** is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Meatlug) in the *How to Train Your Dragon* franchise. He is Hiccup's best friend in the books. He is clumsy and inept, always making mistakes at inappropriate moments. Stoick the Vast calls him "Fisheggs", and Snotface Snotlout briefly called him "Chickenlegs" in an episode of "*Dragons: Riders of Berk"*. He and Dogsbreath pick on him constantly in the books.

## What makes him pure good?

* Unlike the other Dragon trainers (even Astrid) who are arrogant and bossy, Fishlegs is a great friend of Hiccup and has been a great friend of his from the very beginning. While he did not coming to his defense when he is bullied by the others, he's nowhere near as bad with the mocking like Snotlout and the Twins are, being the only one prior to Hiccup demonstrating his new skills with dragons (derived from Toothless) to actually talk to him politely, and it's hinted that he's acting as such to fit in.
	+ He doesn't like fighting very much, is a pacifist, loves nature, and is a yoga lover.
* He doesn't even want to be the best, he tries to do what is right, and besides loving nature together with fauna, he cultivates flower gardens for friends.
* Even though he is often fearful and probably the most cowardly of his team, he always manages to overcome his fears when necessary and they need him, even risking his life, like that time on the island of Gronchi that he put himself in front of the island and nearly got killed by the tyrant ruling it.
* With Hiccup being a great friend of his, he studies together new methods for dragons, and how to think of ways to protect them along with the Dragon Eye.
* In an episode of Race to the Edge, when he discovers that his ancestor Ignar Ingerman was a dragon hunter most feared for the Gronchi, he decides to get away from his friends forever for fear of becoming like him, even if he later realizes that he was wrong. and came back to them.
* With his own dragon, Meatlug, he quickly formed a close bond when in the first film, he immediately joined the dragons along with Hiccup to save the grown-ups of Berk. With Meatlug, he also develops a close relationship with her in the same way that Hiccup has with Toothless and Astrid with Stormfly, getting used to and respecting her.
* In the TV series, he falls in love with Heather, even though they are happy all the same. In the first of her appearances, even when he discovers her true intentions, he continues to have the same feelings for her and helps her in her intent.
* In one episode, he tries to become like Snotlout only for fear that he would never be able to save the crabs.
* Sometimes he loses his temper, but when his somewhat overbearing friends make fun of him, he calms down immediately.
* He sometimes tries to redeem his enemies, feeling something for them too.
* His intelligence can be compared to that of Hiccup and he uses it for benevolent purposes, particularly to help dragons, who at first, everyone thought were monsters, and is always ready to prove it.
* In one episode of Race to the Edge, he risks his life to save an electric dragon from dangerous water dragons.
* In Riders of Berk, he always rushes to rescue his friends and dragons when it comes to action.
* He volunteers to help train a group of children to love dragons and understand them in the TV series.
