Alligator (Franchise)

Alligators are reptiles briefly mentioned in the How to Train Your Dragon Franchise.

Description
Alligators are crocodilians from the family Alligatoridae. There are currently two extant species: the American alligator (A. mississippiensis) and the Chinese alligator (A. sinensis).

Alligators have an armour-plated body that varies in colour from yellow, to green, to brown, finally turning almost completely black in old age. The tail of the Alligator is incredibly muscular and is used to propel the animal when it is in the water. Alligators have short, stocky legs with webbing between their toes.

Function
Alligators have two functions for humans: their skin and their meat. The Alligator skin is used for making shoes and bags. Its meat can serve as food for people.

Alligators can have an entertainment purpose too, at zoos or circuses.

Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 6
Alligators are briefly mentioned by Johann in the first episode of the season, "In Plain Sight".

"Perhaps, for old times' sake, I should regale you with tales of alligator races with the Sultan of Zanzibar or some such fictional account of my travels."
