Baby Dragons

Baby dragons hatch from eggs, which is the beginning of the second stage of a dragon's life cycle. This stage is known as the Tiny Tooth. See more of the first stage of a dragon's life cycle at the page Dragon Eggs.

Baby dragons are small in size. Some are playful, mischievous and appear adorable to even the toughest of Vikings, as shown when Stoick commented that baby Thunderdrums were cute. Others, however, are aggressive. Newly hatched Whispering Deaths have mouths full of sharp teeth and are unable to control their teeth and spines, thus making them dangerous. All baby dragons have the ability to withstand a Bewilderbeast's mind control as they 'listen to no one'.

Deadly Nadder
Born from an egg with spikes; baby Nadders come in a assortment of tropical colors, like their parents. Like most baby dragons, their teeth, horns, spines, talons, and claws are smooth and not sharp. They also have some of the most alert senses, most spryness, and are able to fly sooner the other baby dragons. They tend to flock around their mothers for protection and food (mostly regurgitated fish). They will only strike out on their own during maturity in the broad wing stage.

Monstrous Nightmare
A baby Nightmare can set itself on fire as soon as they hatch. They are born from an egg that's on fire. Baby Nightmares are some of the most willful baby dragons, and are known for being the first to separate from their litter and assume independence within minutes of their birth. Their saliva, due to it's kerosene composition, is akin to lighter fluid, which indirectly gave Hiccup the idea for Inferno, his flame sword. Despite their self-reliance and solitary natures, Nightmares grow up to be some of the most devoted dragons and are particularly protective of their Viking riders, even if they have a funny way of showing it sometimes.

Gronckle
Baby Gronckles, like their parents, are lousy fliers, crash landing, falling, and bumping into things, and they are the only known baby dragon to sleep most of the time.

Hideous Zippleback
Hatched from a double egg, baby Zipplebacks are really playful and curious. As a baby, one head can breathe gas, but the other can't light it with sparks until it matures. Sometimes double the babies can equal quadruple the headaches! Such is the case with Zipplebacks, whose two heads want different things at the same time!

Baby Zipplebacks benefit from having a close relationship with their siblings, from increased hunting (one head watches while the other makes sure the coast is clear) to higher levels of problem solving abilities(one head scares pray into the waiting jaws of the other.)

Whispering Death
Whispering Death babies are the only known dragons to be born with razor sharp teeth, spines, and uncontrollable jaw strength.

Thunderdrum
Baby Thunderdrums can be very loud and uncontrollable unless corralled by a bigger, older Thunderdrum, such as how Thornado could control Bing, Bam, and Boom. A baby Thunderdrum's playful nature can lead to destruction, noise making, and making a mess where ever they go. Once you get past the loudness and the destruction, baby Thunderdrums are pretty cute. But in order to see them clearly, they have to be still, which is hard because baby Thunderdrums are always on the move. Like adults, babies can be heard from miles away, which is helpful when a baby calls for its mom.

Typhoomerang
Typhoomerangs are born with sharp talons and razor sharp claws, and although other baby dragons are the size of house cats, the baby Typhoomerang is the size of a young yak.

Scuttleclaw
So far, only baby Scuttleclaws have been seen in the movies/TV Series. As infants, they're playful and listen to no one. Not even a Bewilderbeast can put them under command. And this trait could be, rather eccentrically, one of few countermeasures to effectively the kings' dragon controlling. They also enjoy playing with Toothless, though the feeling isn't mutual. Scuttleclaws often scatter if roared at by larger dragons. It resembles a cross between a Deadly Nadder and a Hideous Zippleback. It's head is like a Zippleback's, and its body, legs and feet are like a Nadder's. It has spines like those of a Zippleback too, and has a long tail. Scuttleclaws come in a large variety of colors (green, purple, reddish-brown, yellow, etc.)

Scauldron
Unlike adult Scauldrons, baby Scauldrons can't shoot hot water, just warm water. Just like the Typhoomerang, a baby Scauldron is the size of a baby yak.

Timberjack
Timberjack babies can't tear down large trees with their wings like the adults, but they can break off small branches. Like Typhoomerangs and Scauldrons, a baby Timberjack is the size of a baby yak.

Stormcutter
Stormcutter babies are small when they are born, but they grow bigger very fast. They already have their trademark four wings, but have trouble using them, as well as all of the frills on their head and tail.

Snaptrapper
Snaptrapper babies are always looking for food to satisfy the hunger of their four heads, and every head wants to have all the food just for him or her. Like Typhoomerangs, Scauldrons, and Timberjacks, Snaptrapper babies are the size of a baby yak.

Skrill
Baby Skrills are aggressive and always want to bite something. They love to fire their lightning; however, it is less powerful then an adult Skrills. They resemble a Night Fury as a baby and someone inexperienced might mistake a baby Skrill for a baby Night Fury.

Rumblehorn
Rumblehorn babies are very tough and strong. When they are born, they are as heavy as a bag full of rocks, making them one of the heaviest baby dragons known.

Hotburple
Hotburple babies look a lot like the Gronckle babies, even though they are only close relatives. Hotburple babies, just like when they are grown, are very stubborn and lazy. They like metal ores almost as much as a full grown Hotburple.

Smothering Smokebreath
A baby Smothering Smokebreath looks very similar to an adult and is also able to breath smoke straight from birth. Just like adults, baby Smokebreaths love to steal any metal they can find to help their parents build their nests.

Snafflefang
A baby Snafflefang loves to eat geodes almost as much as an adult. Because of their smaller size, they tend to be even crazier for geodes than their parents.

Flightmare
A baby Flightmare can glow just as bright as an adult after eating glowing algae. However, their teeth are smaller than adults, so the fish have to be caught by the parents to feed to the baby.

Boneknapper
Baby Boneknappers have to find much smaller dragon bones to cover themselves than adults. However the bones that they pick are strong and help protect the baby Boneknapper from its enemies.

Sweet Death
Baby Sweet Deaths look similar to Gronckles or Hotburples, but do not look like their parents at all. Their big eyes and short teeth make them look somewhat cute, but when they grow up, that cuteness is gone.

Tide Glider
Baby Tide Gliders are much thinner than adults and they haven't grown the big wings of adults yet. However, the horns on their heads are there from birth.

Seashocker
Baby Seashockers have shorter necks, teeth, and tails than adults. This causes them to tend to like to go after smaller prey like capelin or other small fish.

Sand Wraith
Baby Sand Wraiths are small and very adorable looking. This contrasts with the appearance of adults, who are big and menacing. Babies like to burrow almost as much as adults. The babies of their subspecies, the Desert Wraith, appears similar to its relative, except that is dark grayish in color and has black lines on its wings and tail.

Hackatoo
Baby Hackatoos have sharp horns on their heads, just like adults. Like adults, they use these horns to cut into trees for wood. They are prone to getting their horns stuck in the trees they are cutting.

Hobblegrunt
Baby Hobblegrunts have the same large, extrasensory frill of an adult. Being small, they can react quicker than even adult Hobblegrunts. They seem to have no pupils in their eyes.

Woolly Howl
Baby Woolly Howls have similar fur-like scales to the adults. However, unlike adults, they are a little more cuddly. They breathe less powerful ice balls than adults.

Windstriker
Baby Windstrikers already have the horn of adults, although theirs is much shorter. Their turquoise bodies, wings, and tail are covered in several, yellow circles. The body of the baby dragon seems to be less thin then that of the adult Windstriker.

Grapple Grounder
Baby Grapple Grounders are shorter and less thin than adults. The horns on the back of their heads are shorter than those of adults.

Thunderclaw
Baby Thunderclaws are less fat than adults of their species. Like adults, they stand on two legs. Their horns are shorter and stumpier than those of adults.

Thunderpede
Unlike most dragons, baby Thunderpedes are capable of flying straight from birth. Their horns are shorter than those of their parents, but they still have as many legs as adults do.

Moldruffle
Baby Moldruffles appear very similar to adults. However they have shorter horns on the back of their head and the resonating horn on their head is much shorter. They already have most of the characteristics of adults, however, such as a fan-shaped tail and similar wing shapes.

Mudraker
Compared to those of adults, baby Mudrakers have horns that appear like two, large bumps instead of a horn. However, they already have their characteristic sail and can already fire sonic blasts

Screaming Death
Baby Screaming Deaths appear bigger than most other baby dragons. However, their tails are much shorter than those of most baby dragons, even those of its subspecies, the Whispering Death. Its eyes are huge, some of the biggest of any baby dragon. Like adults, baby Screaming Deaths have a short, stumpy horn on their face.

Night Terror
Baby Night Terrors appear to be a shimmering green color, compared to adults, which are either black or white. They also have three tail spikes on the top of their tails and none on the bottom. They have shorter horns than adults.

Death Song (Slithersong)
Baby Death Songs (Slithersongs) appear to have shorter frills than those of adults. They also are a different color than adults, blue. They appear to have eye spots on their wings and no frills on their tail.

Snow Wraith
Baby Snow Wraiths appear very similar to adults. However, they have shorter spines, a shorter horn, and a shorter ledge on their chins. Their heat vision is not as good as that of an adult.

Thornridge
Baby Thornridges appear very similar to adults. However, they have two, curled horns on their head. The spiky frill of horns on the adults is already present on the babies.

Catastrophic Quaken
Baby Catastrophic Quakens are shorter than adults and have shorter spikes. Their "stinger-like tail" is also shorter. However, they do already have the characteristic three jaws of adults.

Speed Stinger
Baby Speed Stingers are shorter than adult and they doesn't have teeth and their sting and crests are smaller. However, they still can run fast, but they don't run faster than the adult. Smocze pisklęta
