Grimmel the Grisly

"I've hunted every Night Fury, except yours."

- Grimmel

Grimmel the Grisly is the main antagonist of the film How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. He is a Dragon Hunter who believes that dragons must be exterminated, and is responsible for bringing the Night Furies to near extiction, leaving Toothless the last one of his kind.

Dragon Hunting
Prior to the events of the third film, Grimmel hunted down all Night Furies known to be in existence. Toothless is the only one he has not killed, possibly because he had been with Hiccup and therefore sheltered.

Physical Appearance
Grimmel is a tall, slender man with gray hair, pale skin, and hazel eyes. He wears leather armor, brown pants, greyish-brown boots, and a hooded jacket.

Personality
"This is a new kind of enemy."

- Hiccup

Grimmel has been described as "the darkest threat" to the Dragon Riders. He holds great prejudice towards dragons and is of the firm belief that they must be either imprisoned or eliminated. Any alternate ideas that involve coexistence are unacceptable to him as he believes that dragons and humans simply cannot live together.

Being the best friend of his ultimate prize, Hiccup will likely become a bane to Grimmel’s great hunt. Grimmel also threatens to destroying everything Hiccup loves.

Unnamed Light Fury
Grimmel captures Toothless and the Light Fury in his campaign to exterminate all dragons. Later on, Grimmel uses Deathgripper venom on the dragon in order to ride her and control her more easily. Fortunately, Hiccup saves the Light Fury by kicking Grimmel off her.
