How to Train Your Dragon Wiki


Hogflies (or hogflys) are first seen in How to Betray a Dragon's Hero where one becomes a companion for Hiccup.

Physical Appearance[]

Hogflies are described as having the appearance of a little piglet, and have a curling tail.

Abilities[]

Hogflies are renowned for their scent ability and are used extensively by the Vikings for tracking. They may be difficult to train due to their lack of understanding.

Hogflies can also inflate their bellies like a beach ball, as seen in Book 12. Their tummies are so taut that darts can bounce off of it.

Weaknesses[]

Hogflies are rather mentally dull, though they can speak Dragonese (it just may not make a lot of sense!). They are known to be the stupidest dragons in the archipelago.

Behavior[]

What Hogflies lack in mental capacity, they make up for in attitude. They are very friendly and nice, and, in addition to adding a large amount of humor to the book by saying random things at random times, loves more than anything to be helpful (and play games).
