Boneknapper Family

The Boneknapper Family are a mother and baby Boneknapper that briefly appear in School of Dragons.

Searching for the Perfect Bone
At some unknown point during the School of Dragons timeline (after How to Train Your Dragon 2), a mother and baby Boneknapper made a nest out of bones in the Whispering Death tunnels under the Isle of Berk. However, the baby Boneknapper's armor was incomplete, as a piece of the skull bone armor was missing. Distressed, the mother Boneknapper repeatedly howled into the night, scaring the citizens of Berk.

Bucket, one of the Berkians who heard the Boneknapper, claimed that he and the other citizens believe that there is a monster under Berk. He requested the player, along with Fishlegs, enter the cave and discover the source of the noise. Eventually, the player and Fishlegs discovered the mother Boneknapper in the cave and reported their findings back to Hiccup, Bucket, and the other concerned citizens.

However, the mother Boneknapper continued howling during the night, preventing the Vikings from sleeping. Again, Bucket asked the player, along with Hiccup, to go down into the cave and figure out why the dragon was there. Upon entering the cave, Hiccup and the player discovered that the Boneknapper had a baby and that she had created a nest out of bones. However, Hiccup noticed that the baby looked distressed, which caused its mother to be agitated as well. Wanting to help calm the dragons, Hiccup and the player attempted to find the solution to the baby Boneknapper's distress. They talked to Phlegma the Fierce, who suggested feeding the Boneknapper chicken eggs, but this didn't work. Bucket suggested giving the baby Boneknapper a bucket to wear, a hypothesis which, despite its ridiculousness, Hiccup and the player decided to test. Surprising both of them, the baby Boneknapper put the bucket on its head. This caused Hiccup to realize that the baby Boneknapper was missing a piece of bone to guard its head. He and the player found a piece of bone in the Boneknapper's bone nest that fit perfectly on to the baby's head, calming down both the baby and the mother. While Hiccup believed that the dragons were quite pleased with them, he also believed that they wouldn't stay on Berk long, as the last Boneknapper on Berk left soon after it arrived. The player reported the good news to Bucket, who was happy that he and the citizens of Berk could sleep well again.
