Crimson Goregutter

The Crimson Goregutter is a new large Boulder Class dragon that will appear in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

Official Description
"Although Goregutters have impressive sets of antlers and axe-shaped tails, they are gentler than they appear and like to be left in peace. In battle, however, they have the ability to spew molten lava onto their antlers before ramming opponents with fiery force."

Development
The Crimson Goregutter’s name was revealed at the 2018 Annecy Film Festival preview of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

Hatchling to Adult
Crimson Goregutters are massive dragons with a wingspan comparable to that of a Typhoomerang and are primarily crimson in color. They have four long and stubby legs, with their forelimbs being longer than their hindlimbs. The Goregutters' most defining features are the massive moose-like antlers that adorn their heads. These antlers are large and powerful enough to be used as formidable weapons. The tip of their tails is shaped like a battle axe that can be used for defensive and offensive purposes.

Behavior and Personality
Crimson Goregutters are generally peaceful dragons that prefer to be left alone. Despite their docile nature, they can be aggressive and very dangerous when provoked.

Firepower
Crimson Goregutters are able to launch molten lava from their mouths, similar to other Boulder Class dragons such as Gronckles and Hotburples. They are also able to spew their lava onto their antlers before charging onto their intended targets.

Strength
Due to their huge size, Crimson Goregutters possess an immense level of strength. A single Goregutter could easily knock down the door of a metal cage or destroy the masts of a ship by ramming it with its antlers.

Behavior and Personality
Dean DeBlois describes the Crimson Goregutter "a stately old grump of a dragon... very protective.". The protective nature is illustrated by a rescued Goregutter protecting an infant Gronckle named Fishmeat that Fishlegs carries with him.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
The Dragon Riders rescue a trapped Crimson Goregutter on one of their missions and bring it back to Berk. This Goregutter also forms a bond with Meatlug's offspring Fishmeat.

Crimson Goregutters are among the myriad of dragons that reside in the Hidden World.
