The **Night Fury** is a species of dragon featured in the *How to Train Your Dragon* franchise.  It is a dragon originally claimed to be the "unholy offspring of lightning and death itself."

## background

### Physical Appearance

The Night Fury is part of the Strike class and was one of the few species that was not reclassified. Its fire type consisted of acetyline/oxygen-shaped charges.

The Night Fury is a black creature and given felinesque features. They have light green catlike eyes that look almost hypnotizing and ear-like appendiges. They have nubs and tentrils that protrude fro their heads, fins behind their hind lengs and on their tails. They are usually jet black with slightly lighter spots.

A medium-sized Night Fury is 28'8" long and 5.9" tall. They  weigh at about 1,776 lbs (805.6 kg) and have a Wingspan of 50 feet 3 inches (15.33 meters).

Their diet mostly consists of beef, crab, fish, honeycombs and apples. Since Toothless has been seen living in Berk and the wild, their current habitats are unknown. Hoever they like to take refuge in mountains and small coves, as Toothless did after he was shot down by Hiccup. However, they live in the Dragon's Edge, the  Hidden World, the Isle of Berk, New Berk, and School of Dragons.

## Role in the series

### *How to Train Your Dragon*

For centuries, the Night Furies were considered a rare and a very mysterious species of dragons by most from Viking Culture. This is because the Night Furies were believed hunted to near extinction by the dragon poacher Grimmel the Grisly and his pack of brainwashed Deathgrippers. This left Toothless the only known survivor in the archipelago. However, since the Hidden World exists and is the ancestral home of all dragons of the world, it is possible that Toothless is not the last of his kind and that there are other night furies still living there.

They are related to the Light Fury and Night Lights.

### *Dragons: The Nine Realms*

In the present day, it is implied that the Night Furies may finally be extinct following Toothless's passing generations earlier. If true, then their legacy lives on through the Night Light, a dragon species who are the descendants of both the Night Furies and the Light Furies.

However, another possibility is that Night Furies still thrive in the hidden world and are actually not extinct.

## Subspecies

### Light Fury

The Light Fury is a subspecies of Night Fury. Because of this, they are suitable mates for Night Furies and are able to procreate with them.

Both Toothless and his Light Fury mate had children of their own and started a new species of Night Fury/Light Fury hybrids, the Night Lights.

### Red Night Fury

In the video game, Ruffnut and Tuffnut's cousin Buffnut owns a Red Night Fury. According to the How to Train Your Dragon Wiki, it lists Buffnut's Fury as a Night Fury.

It is possibly a subspecies of Night Fury.
