User blog comment:Megadracosaurus/Are Night Furries overrated?/@comment-24990845-20141209111737

Night Furies were meant to be very popular, and looked up too. They wanted, the directors, a powerful dragon that EVERYBODY would know and love, to be their top character. They wanted the Night Fury to be extremely good at everything because in the first movie, they chose it to be the ultimate dragon. If they chose example the Monstrous Nightmare, they will be the most best known dragon, it's up to the directors, they chose it, they continued it. You may argue that other dragons are stronger than a Night Fury, maybe they are, but in different ways. Not until HTTYD2 at least, Toothless proven that he and his species is the ultimate, able to challenge a beast 100 times his size.
