Talk:Alpha Dragon/@comment-27624304-20180603152021/@comment-38931106-20191115215615

Dean Deblois confirmed one of the goal of the second movie is to introduce the individual at the top of the hierarchy in the dragon world. So there is a King, a absolute alpha. Valka said it herself.

It’s true we don’t how it work exactly, especially with Toothless who doesn’t have any natural hypnotic ability. Like written in this wiki page, the common explanation gave in a comic wrote by Dean Deblois seems to be that dragons can sense it.

Toothless Alpha Mode is the most visible proof of his status, although he doesn’t seem to need it in the third movie to force dragons to obey him. I admit I found this strange.

In the end, Toothless being the one and only King/Alpha is canon and confirmed so there is no point in contesting it.

And I agree with the idea that there is different levels of leader (pack leaders, colony leaders and the one king)
