Triple Stryke

The Triple Stryke is a Strike Class dragon that appears in Dragons: Race to The Edge.

Description
Displaying an ornery disposition from the time of their hatching, Triple Strykes make the ideal champions in underground combat arenas.

With their barbed hides that deflect attacks, their intense fire blasts that blind opponents, and their tail triad that braids into a single powerful weapon, a Triple Stryke wins most bouts on intimidation alone. But victory sometimes breeds vanity and exploiting this overconfidence is often the only way to defeat a Triple Stryke in battle.

History
The Dragon Hunters had captured one and raised it to fight other dragons as it's raining champion. They forced Toothless to fight it in a arena. After he was released along with the other dragons, he join the riders and live at the Dragon's Edge.

The Triple Stryke is a stockily built dragon with armored plates on its back that resembles an armadillo's and two legs. Much like the Night Fury, it has two ear-like appendages on its head.

Their forelimbs act as pincers, which also resemble a scorpion's.
