Dagur the Deranged

former villain and archenemy-turned-ally

## Abilities and Power

* **Strength and Fighting Skills:** Dagur is an accomplished fighter and has shown to be able to hold his own against Alvin the Treacherous, though he isn't above using unfair means in order to win. He also was able to control a [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Skrill Skrill] by harnessing it and controlling it with ropes. He has better fighting skills than many adult Vikings, such as Savage, despite the fact that he is young. He has been working out for the past three years, as his muscles are shown to be a lot bigger and he has grown much stronger as he can incapacitate Outcasts, Berserkers and Dragon Hunters with one punch.
* **Berserker Rage:** As a Berserker, Dagur tends to act savagely, even outside of battle. He enjoys violence of any kind and will even attack his own men. After being imprisoned for three years, these tendencies had intensified. It is possible he actually possesses Berserker abilities, this can be seen when Dagur requests Hiccup to howl with him, like a wolf (úlfheðnar) in "", and in their battle near the end he fought like an animal and acted savagely.
* **Intelligence:** Despite claiming that he hates strategy, Dagur is surprisingly clever. He managed to lure Hiccup to Outcast Island by letting his soldiers tell Trader Johann false information about some kind of weapon that will use against the Riders of Berk in "The Flight Stuff". He also used Trader Johann to bring the Smothering Smokebreath nest to Berk in "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" so the dragons would steal Berk's weapons, making them vulnerable to an invasion. He also figured out the effect [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon\_Root Dragon Root] has on wild [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon\_(Franchise) Dragons], and used this information to get the dragons and their Riders trapped in the academy so he could trade with Hiccup for his dragon to save his friends. This plan was unsuccessful, so he made up for it by capturing Stoick in "Cast Out, Part 1" instead, to make another trade. His intelligence also allows him to gain the upper hand in battle, like in "[./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Team\_Astrid Team Astrid]" he knew that his hit and run attack on Berk would get Hiccup and his Riders out in the open trying to find his fleet. He used that against them and had his men map the trajectory of their movements, thus allowing him to find their secret hideout on [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon's\_Edge Dragon's Edge] and lay siege to their base until Hiccup sent a message back to Berk for reinforcements, which forced Dagur into retreat.
* **Speed and Agility:** Dagur has proven in fights against Alvin the Treacherous and several wild Dragons that he is a very fast and agile warrior.
* **Leadership Skills:** Unlike the Outcasts, Dagur's soldiers appear to follow him out of respect and not fear. However, just like Alvin, his men wouldn't dream of not obeying their leader. The Outcasts join the Berserkers after Dagur supposedly kills Alvin in "A View to a Skrill, Part 2". However, he was still their leader three years later when he escaped from jail. Even after his reformation, he remains the leader of the Berserker tribe.
* **Dragon Slaying:** He seemed to enjoy killing dragons. At first, he saw Barf and Belch and was very eager to capture the dragon to slice their heads off but it failed when he saw the dragon attack. As he saw trained dragons that were attacking in the Kill Ring, he was shown to be afraid mostly when he saw the [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Night\_Fury Night Fury] and [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Monstrous\_Nightmare\_(Franchise) Monstrous Nightmare]. But on [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon\_Island Dragon Island], he was training for possibly weeks or months to kill dragons and study their abilities. He was able to kill a few dragons, including a Monstrous Nightmare, proven by the dragon's skeleton. He gave up this skill, due to his reformation.
* **Skrill Controlling:** Dagur was able to control the Skrill very well, using the creature like a puppet. Dagur was able to make his Skrill attack everything. However, Hiccup managed to trick Dagur into standing in water as the Skrill attacked, electrocuting the Berserker, who then lost his Skrill in the ensuing chaos.
* **Endurance and Stamina:** His body is very muscular as he able to endure attacks from other Vikings and continue to fight. He even endures getting shot with an arrow in his shoulder and is later shown to have recovered as he was able to fight once more after the treatment he got from Hiccup. His stamina is very high due to all of the training he has done over the years.
* **Dragon Training and Riding:** Though very briefly, Dagur showed some signs of being a great dragon rider. he has a skrill. He was also able to pick up other skills used by dragon riders during his isolation, like emitting a call to ward off [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Changewing Changewings]. He even rode on the [./https://howtotrainyourdragon.fandom.com/wiki/Triple\_Stryke Triple Stryke] for saving his life.

* **Artistic Ability:** Dagur appears to have artistic talent, as seen on the cave wall drawings seen in "Enemy of My Enemy". It is unknown if he had any formal art training. However, his father, Oswald, also seems to be rather talented with sketches, as seen in "Searching for Oswald... and Chicken". It appears he inherited the artistic ability from his father Oswald the Agreeable.

## Armada

The Armada is a fleet of 100 ships belonging to Dagur and the Berserker Tribe. They each have a dragon figurehead on their bow, and a single mast, many with the Berserker Tribe crest; a silhouette of a Skrill dragon; on their sails. Dagur naturally is the commander in chief, but the Armada's captain is Captain Vorg. has 1000 men

The Armada commonly makes an appearance while Dagur is a villain, but ceases to do so once he reforms and turns to riding dragons as his main means of transportation.
