Skrill

'' "If you get too close to a Skrill, your hair will stand on end." - ''Hiccup, Book of Dragons

The Skrill is an elusive dragon appearing in the film adaption of How to Train Your Dragon. It is seen in the Dragon Manual while Hiccup looks for more information on Night Furies. The Skrill was also seen in the Dreamworks Dragons: Riders of Berk series premiere commercial and the animated short, Book of Dragons.

Description
This incredible creature has large wings, a spiked back and tail, and a crocodile-like mouth. The spikes on the Skrill's back and tail are sharp enough to cut with the slightest abrasion, and it is an excellent flyer. It apparently resembles a Night Fury in flight and rivals its speed, being slightly slower. Like the Monstrous Nightmare, its locomotion on land resembles that of a pterosaur, using the large claws on its wings to walk and run on land.

As with most of the dragons in the manual, it is listed as being "extremely dangerous" and the manual instructs readers to "kill on sight". It slightly resembles a Thunder Drum, and its head also resembles that of a Deadly Nadder. When a Skrill is riding lightning it seems to wrap itself in its wings and dive down.

This dragon is 12 meters in length.

Abilities
The Skrill electrifies itself when hunting. It also rides lightning bolts to reach supersonic speed. The Skrill is only found during lightning storms. It can breathe out beams of powerful white fire.

In the Book of Dragons
The Skrill is featured in Book of Dragons. It is said to be highly secretive and is known to ride lightning bolts like air torpedos to reach supersonic speeds, and usually only comes out during electrical storms. It can shoot jets of white fire, and its entire body crackles with static electricity. Just being close to a Skrill is enough to make one's hair stand on end. It belongs to the Strike class of dragons.

In the TV Series
The Skrill did not appeared in Dragons: Riders of Berk, however it was featured in the TV commercials. It is possible the Skrill will appear in Dragons: Defenders of Berk.
