Talk:Deathgripper/@comment-44970205-20200204000854

I think it is entirely possible that the deathgrippers survived Toothless's attack. First off, they have an armor rating of 20, one of the highest of all the strike class dragons. Secondly, there are part of strike class, a class of dragons that seems to have an affinity to storms and electricity in particular (Skrill, Night Fury, Light Fury, Snow Wraith, etc.) Plus, the deathgrippers weren't at all damaged by the lightning originally released from Toothless's spines, and were only hurt once the bolt came down upon them. Grimmel has been using them to hunt Night Furies for years, and Toothless can't have been the only one to use an electrcity attack on the deathgrippers, as it is a tactic that is highly effective in escaping danger. Therefore, it is likely that the deathgrippers could have built up some sort of immunity. Who knows? Maybe the one with one eye was blinded by a blast of electricity. I rest my case.
