Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Franchise) / Biography

Early Life
"You came early into this world; so frail, so fragile. I feared you wouldn't make it. But your father never doubted."

- Valka

About fourteen years before the events of the first film, Hiccup was born prematurely to Stoick the Vast and his wife Valka. Although the new mother was worried that Hiccup would not survive his early birth, Stoick was confident that he would grow strong and Hiccup did indeed prosper. At his birth, Hiccup was given a small axe by Stoick, so he could start training immediately much to his mother's chagrin. When he was still a baby, Valka sewed Hiccup a dragon toy with his name stitched into the sides.

One night a Stormcutter dragon broke into their house, finding baby Hiccup in the cradle. Valka rushed to his rescue, but found the dragon curiously playing with Hiccup, leaving the baby giggling in delight, proving that everything about dragons that Valka believed in was true. The Stormcutter was startled when he noticed Valka's presence, accidentally nicking Hiccup's chin with a wing claw when he turned to look her way. At hearing the baby crying, Stoick rushed into the scene. He and the dragon started fighting with each other, the results leading to the house being burned and Valka being abducted by the dragon, leaving Stoick to raise Hiccup alone. This experience left Hiccup with a deep fear of dragons, so much so that he threw the toy his mother made for him into the ocean one day when he and his father were out fishing.

Stoick became overprotective of his son, while Valka decide to spend the rest of her life away from Berk, including her family, fearing that her love of dragons might harm those she cares about, including Hiccup. So Hiccup spent the first 20 years of his life believing his mother had been killed and eaten by a dragon.

How to Train Your Dragon
"My name's Hiccup. Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will scare off gnomes and trolls. As if our charming Viking demeanor won't do that."

- Hiccup's introduction

At the start of the film, Hiccup is an embarrassment to his father, Stoick the Vast, the Chief of the Hooligan tribe. Too small to wield traditional Viking weapons and therefore unable to kill a dragon like the rest of his village, he works as an apprentice to Gobber the Belch, the village blacksmith. One night during a dragon raid, once left unsupervised, Hiccup leaves his indoor work post and, with a bola launcher named "The Mangler", manages to shoot down one of the deadliest and most feared dragons in the skies: the Night Fury. When he tries to tell his father of his feat, Stoick disbelieves him, and is frustrated with the boy at the mess he left in his wake. So Stoick orders him to go home and stay there. When Hiccup goes to find his kill, after what appears to be many failed attempts, he finds the dragon and discovers that he's still alive. Despite his determination to prove himself to the community as a great dragon killer, Hiccup is unable to kill it after seeing the fear in his eyes, and instead cuts him free.



When he returns home that night, Stoick tells him he can join Dragon Training, unknowing that Hiccup has changed his mind about killing dragons. But Stoick hopes that his son will man up and let go of himself. Hiccup's left no choice however, so early the next day, he is enrolled into Dragon Training, where he's expected to learn to fight and kill dragons. At first, he struggles to complete the simplest tasks and hold his own against even the most (relatively) benign dragons, earning the usual mockery of his fellow teenagers. However, after managing to get close enough to bond with the Night Fury he shot down, whom he names Toothless after finding out about his retractable teeth, he builds him a prosthetic tail-fin to replace the one that the crash landing caused by his Mangler tore off. It granted Toothless the ability to fly with Hiccup's assistance, and jump-starts their friendship. He gains valuable experience and a deeper insight into the mannerisms of most dragons, such as the fact that it's possible to bring a dragon into submission if it's scratched gently in a certain spot under the chin. He's soon hailed as a Viking prodigy, with the time he spends with Toothless allowing him to ultimately "defeat" every dragon he encounters during training.



The stress of living this double life is hard on Hiccup, however. The other Vikings, particularly Astrid Hofferson, take notice of his sudden rise in skill, as well as his unexplained absences after Dragon Training sessions, although no one really comments on it. Eventually, after Hiccup places top in training, Astrid manages to follow him and discovers Toothless. She runs off to tell the other Vikings, but Hiccup and Toothless stop her. They take her on a romantic flight around the area to calm Astrid down. It's during this ride that Hiccup sees the Red Death in the very Dragons' Nest his father has been trying to find and destroy. When they land, Hiccup manages to convince Astrid not to tell anyone about anything that happened, showing how loyal he is to his dragon. After their conversation, Astrid punches Hiccup in the shoulder for kidnapping her, then she kisses him on the cheek, seeming to admire his loyalty.



The next day, Hiccup is required to fight and kill a Monstrous Nightmare as part of his final exam during Dragon Training. The task goes horribly wrong, however when Stoick swings his hammer against the Dragon Training cage in response to Hiccup's blasphemous claims that dragons "aren't what we think they are" and that "we don't have to kill them". Hiccup's methods of dragon appeasement no longer work and the Nightmare moves in for the kill. Toothless, hearing Hiccup's scream in fear, tries to get out of the cove where he's been safely hidden since befriending Hiccup, and, succeeding for the first time, rushes to the scene and beats the other dragon back while at the same time revealing himself to all the Vikings. Though Hiccup attempts to explain why he went against the Viking way of life and befriended a dragon, his father refuses to listen, and disowns him as his son, and instead takes advantage of Toothless, chaining him to a ship and using him to reach the Dragons' Nest. As the adult Vikings leave in search of the Nest, Astrid talks to Hiccup about the entire situation, trying to comfort him, showing him that his refusal to kill a dragon was a strength and not a weakness as he believed. She finally asks him what he's going to do about it, which leads him to say "something crazy." He goes off to do his 'crazy' plan, while Astrid gathers the other Viking teenagers. Hiccup brings out the now docile Monstrous Nightmare, followed by tyre other dragons kept at the arena, and teaches the other teens how to ride on the back of a dragon.

While the Vikings try to fight a losing fight against the Red Death, the teens fly into the scene on the backs of the dragons, with Gobber commenting to Stoick that Hiccup is, "every bit the boar-headed, stubborn Viking you ever were". Hiccup goes onto the burning ship where Toothless is, and tries to free him, but soon the Red Death causes the ship to sink into the sea, pulling Toothless down with it. Hiccup dives into the water in a desperate attempt to free Toothless, but goes limp after a few moments of trying due to lack of air. He is then saved by his father, who dives back into the sea to free Toothless from his chains. After Toothless surfaces with Stoick in his claws, Hiccup mounts Toothless in preparation to face the Red Death. Stoick apologizes to his son for not listening to him. He continues saying he doesn't have to partake in the battle, to which Hiccup replies by quoting his father's catchphrase, "We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard." In response to the familiar words, Stoick tells Hiccup how proud he is to call him his son.

Hiccup and Toothless then fly off to confront the Red Death themselves and soon have the enormous dragon pursuing them into the clouds. Hiccup manages to kill the Red Death by having Toothless dive towards the Nest at a high speed, finally blasting a plasma bolt into its mouth, consuming the larger dragon from the inside. During the fight, though, Toothless' prosthetic tail catches on fire, so as they are trying to dodge the burning body of the Red Death, it crashes into the ground, triggering an explosion on impact. In their desperate attempt to escape the blast, they run into the Red Death's tail at the last moment. The tail having fallen off, the two fall thousands of feet into the blaze below. As the village approaches the site of the explosion and finds that Hiccup is nowhere to be found, Stoick soon discovers that, even without his makeshift tail, Toothless has protected the future chief from the fire by folding him in his wings. Stoick wholeheartedly apologizes to Toothless, and is deeply thankful to the dragon for bringing his son back to him alive.



When he wakes up after an unknown amount of time (many believe about three weeks), Hiccup is heralded as a hero in the tribe. Although he lost his left foot and lower shin when he and Toothless fell into the fiery cloud, he was fitted with a prosthetic that Gobber designed and fabricated, "with a little Hiccup flair thrown in." This new prosthetic matches Toothless' new left control stirrup which Gobber has also redesigned, and clips right into place, as if he and Toothless were one. At the very end of the film, Astrid punches Hiccup for scaring her, then she kisses Hiccup on the lips, as the rest of the village accepts dragons into the island as companions.

Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon
Feeling bad for Gobber after his house burns and he goes off alone to hunt the Dragon he believes did it, Hiccup persuades his friends to help him help Gobber hunt down the elusive Boneknapper. When they set sail to find it, Gobber tells them stories of how he first met the dragon and also its following encounters with him, and how it kept trying to steal his belt buckle. The stories always have a ridiculous and insane background which start to annoy the teens. Hiccup at first gives Gobber's stories the benefit of the doubt, despite the Riders calling them ridiculous and insane. But after being shipwrecked and landing on the Boneknapper's island, Gobber sets up a trap to lure the Boneknapper using Fishlegs as bait. At that point, Hiccup can no longer defend him and tells Gobber that there's no such thing as a Boneknapper. This causes a long dispute with the other Riders as well, causing them to be oblivious to the Boneknapper sneaking up behind them. When they finally witness the dragon, Hiccup and the rest finally say they believe Gobber and run for the safety of the trap. The Boneknapper tries to smash its way in, but Hiccup notices that its armor of bones is missing a small piece in its chest. He realizes the belt buckle Gobber is using is actually the perfect bone for its coat of armor and tells Gobber to takes off his pants.

The Riders are all confused, but Hiccup explains how the Boneknapper searches for the perfect bone to complete its coat of armor. Consequently, the Boneknapper grabs Gobber and brutally drags him out of the trap, while Hiccup shouts to Gobber to give up the bone piece. Eventually, when he is tossed high up, Gobber finally gives in and throws the bone to the Boneknapper, successfully attaching it to the hole in its armor. When the Boneknapper finally receives the bone, it lets off a deafening roar that irritates Hiccup and the rest. Just then, the Boneknapper confronts Gobber, Hiccup calls for him, fearing his death. But instead, the Boneknapper takes a liking to Gobber after giving back the bone piece, and Gobber pets it as it acts like a friendly dog. But without the belt buckle, Gobber's pants fall down, mortifying Hiccup and the rest of the Riders. Hiccup even admits it's gonna give him nightmares.

Afterwards, they get a ride home from the Boneknapper. Hiccup notices the Boneknapper's happy mood now that it has its bone piece, also giving it the ability to roar for the first time. Fishlegs then explains its roar is also its mating call. When Gobber denies it to be just a myth, he is proven wrong as three other Boneknapper dragons hear the call and follow them straight to Berk. Gobber exclaims that Stoick and the rest of the villagers will believe his stories now, too.

Gift of the Night Fury
"Turns out that was the best Snoggletog ever. That year I gave my best friend a pretty great gift. But he gave me an even better one"

- Hiccup in Gift of the Night Fury

After being woken by Toothless jumping on the roof, Hiccup grabs his helmet, mounts Toothless, and they go out flying to practice a trick they have worked on for some time during their flight and finally pull it off. As Hiccup and Toothless are heading back home from their ride, they fly straight into the swarm of oncoming dragons, during which Hiccup's helmet is knocked off and falls into the ocean. Although Toothless attempts to quickly dive to get the helmet back, Hiccup decides it's best to return home to figure out what is going on. Upon returning, Hiccup is pelted with questions from the villagers of where the dragons have gone to, to which Hiccup has no answer.

After a town meeting in the Great Hall about what to do about the dragons being gone for the holiday, Hiccup supports Astrid's idea to come up with new traditions to distract them from their sadness, only to be guilted later for being the only villager whose dragon didn't leave. Hiccup feels bad since Toothless can't fly without him, and decides to do something about it.

The next morning, Hiccup is in Gobber's shop, building a new tail for Toothless that will allow the Night Fury to fly by himself, when Astrid stops by to offer him her newest holiday tradion; yak nog. He confides in her his feelings of guilt, thus the reason for him making Toothless this gift, and tasks a sip of her drink. Finding it repulsive, he politely holds it in his mouth until Astrid leaves, and then spits it out. After the tail is finished, Hiccup attaches it on Toothless despite the lingering fear that the dragon might not return. He then watches sadly as Toothless flies off.

Some days later, Hiccup follows Fishlegs, who is carrying fish for Meatlug, to his barn where Meatlug has secretly been chained up. As soon as Hiccup opens the doors to the barn, Meatlug breaks free and inadvertently takes Hiccup with her. As Hiccup holds onto Meatlug for dear life, he is taken to an island, where he discovers that Dragons have gone here to lay their eggs. At not finding Toothless on the island however, he decides to let the dragons enjoy their own holiday. Determined he ought to get back home for Snoggletog, he persuades Hookfang for a ride as the other dragons unexpectedly try to follow with their hatchlings in tow despite Hiccup's protests not to, inadvertently starting the return migration. Remembering an old Viking ship he and Meatlug passed on their flight in, Hiccup comes up with an idea to get both the Dragons and the hatchlings back home safely. They return to Berk after dark, much to the joy of the villagers. Hiccup's greeted with cheers and a crushing hug from Stoick.

At the Great Hall, Hiccup receives a kiss and a hug from Astrid as a thank you for bringing the dragons back, but knowing he is still worried about Toothless' whereabouts. But just them Toothless pushes through the Great Hall doors, Astrid turns Hiccup's face to where Toothless is, and Hiccup is overjoyed to be with his Night Fury once again. It turns out that Toothless has used the new tail to look for Hiccup's helmet, and has in fact, retrieved it.

The next morning, Hiccup wakes to find Toothless placed his old tail and saddle out in front of him in the snow. Hiccup remarks how Toothless has a new and better tail now, but instead of letting Hiccup get up on his back, Toothless keeps persisting they use the old one. Eventually, the dragon looks back at his new tail and smashes it into the ground, ignoring Hiccup's protests as he flicks it far away behind him. Toothless picks up and places the saddle on the snow in front of Hiccup and nudges it towards him, eyes round with request. Realizing Toothless would rather fly with his help, as opposed to just carrying him like all the other dragons, Hiccup is all too happy to go out for another flight. While Hiccup had given Toothless freedom, Toothless has given him friendship.

Book of Dragons
Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, and Gobber are gathered around a table in the Great Hall, discussing new found knowledge of dragons, while Hiccup writes it all down in the Dragon Manual. Toothless sees the viewer enter and gets Hiccup's attention at a new "Dragon Trainer", to which Hiccup says optimistically that [you] have potential. And so the training begins with the opening of the Dragon Manual.

Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, and Gobber all take turns talking about the various dragons in the book. But as the expert in the Strike Class dragons, Hiccup talks about how in order to train one, you need to get its attention, and then its trust. He finally finishes, saying that with a little patience, any dragon can be trained.

The short ends with Toothless excited over teaching his rider what more he can do, so Hiccup can enter it into the manual. So Hiccup follows him out of the Great Hall so they can take a flight, and Gobber gives [you] a Viking helmet, welcoming you to Dragon Training.

Dragons: Riders of Berk


Hiccup is known as the founder and head Dragon Trainer of the Berk Dragon Academy, starting it by confronting the problem of dragons causing havoc around Berk. Hiccup's role in the series is still unquestionably that of the main character since most of the plots revolve around him and his actions. Throughout the series, he, Toothless, the other teens and their dragons are forced to overcome many different kinds of hardships. Hiccup is looked up to by the teens as a leader, even if at times they don't like to admit it. Stoick starts to entrust great amounts of responsibility to Hiccup.

Hiccup's main difficulties begin with keeping the dragons under control. After that, the weather and harsh climate of Berk become a challenge that he must overcome. Mildew serves as one of his primary antagonists, and Hiccup is forced to go to desperate measures to keep the Vikings from falling back on the old ways of conflicting with the dragons. Wild and rogue dragons are discovered which Hiccup either battles or trains during the series. Perhaps Berk's most deadly enemy, Alvin the Treacherous, shares the role of his book counterpart as being Hiccup's nemesis. Hiccup is forced into conflict with him and his Outcast soldiers many times throughout the first season, but due to his wit and compassion, Hiccup usually emerges the victor, much to Alvin's frustration.

Hiccup has been seen to have mild character development throughout the series. He suddenly finds his confidence, and is willing to take risks, especially social ones. He is given much more responsibility, and he usually handles it well. He has gained significant skills as both a teacher and a leader. He and his father have actually grown to appreciate each other more and more as the series has progressed. Hiccup has also been seen to develop creative ideas for using and training the dragons which now inhabit Berk. He has developed in his relationship with Snotlout considerably. When they compete in the Thawfest Games, both of them become rudely antagonistic towards each other. Hiccup snaps out of this with a little help from Astrid and his conscience, and he allows Snotlout to take victory for the sake of maintaining their friendship. Hiccup's sheer bravery usually winds up saving the day. He doesn't usually take risks unnecessarily, but he seems willing to risk everything for the sake of his friends, especially Toothless. Unfortunately this bravery occasionally becomes foolhardiness, and Hiccup has also found himself in dangerous situations with no way to escape. Thankfully, he knows that he has Toothless and his friends to back him up, and throughout the series they are always ready to help him when he needs it.

"How to Start a Dragon Academy"

Hiccup's disheartened at the village's continuing troubles with dragons, despite not fighting them anymore. So he comes up with a plan to teach the villagers how to work with the dragons rather than against them, for the benefit of all. Stoick is so proud of his son and his friends that he offers what was once the killing arena to them, suggesting they transform it into a Training Academy.

"Viking for Hire"

As Hiccup's "adopted uncle", Gobber struggles to make ends meet now that the dragon killing weapons he use to make in his forge are no longer needed. So Hiccup tries to help by finding Gobber other work. At first he talks his father into taking Gobber on as an assistant, which leads to disaster. So Stoick hands Gobber back to Hiccup, who puts him to work making dragon saddles, which also ends in disaster. Hiccup learns a valuable lesson in delegating before Gobber finally finds his true calling as a dragon dentist.

"Animal House"

Hiccup and Astrid race each other down a snowy slope on their dragons, only to trigger an avalanche. When Hiccup finds Toothless' tail fin has been frozen so flying out of danger was impossible, Astrid frantically tries to save him, only to be caught up in the avalanche herself. The two fall into a crevass and are buried, thankfully along with their dragons who create an air pocket for them and eventually melt the snow above them so they're able to get out. Later during a blizzard, Hiccup and the other teens try to chase down the escaped livestock, causing Stoick to fear for his son's life. The finding of how protective the dragons were of them is what leads to teaching Berk's livestock that dragons will be protective of them too, so they lose their fear of the bigger animals and start providing milk and eggs again, offering the Vikings more food to eat during the long winter.

"The Terrible Twos"

Fishlegs alerts Hiccup of a small mysterious creature that startled him and Meatlug during a training exercise. Turns out it was a new dragon, and the teens enjoy studying it. Since all the other teens were hesitant to bring it home for the night, Hiccup takes it home, much to the annoyance of both Stoick and Toothless. He tries to contain Toothless' apparent jealously, only to eventually learn that the new dragon is actually a baby, and its gigantic fire breathing mother is searching for it. So he reunites the pair, and makes amends with Toothless, knowing that Toothless' "jealously" was just his way of alerting him of possible danger.

"In Dragons We Trust"

Hiccup butts heads with the village grump Mildew, who hates dragons and wants to banish then from the island for good. He's frustrated when a number of things start happening around the village, and the dragons get all the blame, including Toothless. He knows the dragons are innocent, but his inability to prove it frustrates him further. Hiccup is broken hearted when his father orders all dragons be taken to Dragon Island and left there. But while fixing Mildew's roof, Hiccup witnesses the proof that Mildew framed the dragons. Unfortunately however the evidence is destroyed before he can show them to his father and the rest of the tribe.

"Alvin & the Outcasts"

With the dragons banished to Dragon Island and all their weapons destroyed, Berk is left defenseless when their long time enemies The Outcasts attack. Their leader, Alvin, is after Hiccup specifically, calling him the "Dragon Conqueror", but is unaware that who he's after is actually Stoick's small son. Hiccup tries to hide at first, but when the other villagers are threatened, he gives himself up, and uses his wit to trick Alvin into bringing him to Dragon Island so he can get to Toothless and help protect his village. After fighting the Outcasts off with the help of Stoick and the other teens, who also retrieved their dragons, Stoick and the rest of the village realize how important the dragons can be for their safety, and they're welcomed back into Berk.

"How to Pick Your Dragon"

Hiccup is frustrated at his father's stubbornness in always doing things the old fashioned and slow "Viking Way" rather than the much easier and quicker "Dragon Way". So he tries to teach Stoick how useful flying a dragon can be by teaching him how to fly Toothless. This however backfires when Stoick starts flying Toothless without consenting with his son first, leaving Hiccup without his dragon and best friend for most of the time. But a rogue dragon attack on a ship turns Stoick's attention to this new dragon, and asks Hiccup to help him train it for himself. Hiccup's happy to oblige, but irritated that his father doesn't seem to be taking anything he says seriously and keeps trying to train the new dragon his own way. But Hiccup is shocked yet pleased at the end when his father bonds with the new dragon anyway, and lands that Stoick had been listening to his son's instructions all along.

"Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Young Man"

Hiccup and Stoick are having their portrait painted to be hung in the Great Hall along side the portraits of other chiefs and their sons. But Hiccup is devastated when he sees the finished result of the painting, falsely depicting him as a strong Viking man rather than the lanky kid that he really is. He's especially taken back by his father's positive reaction to it, and in an effort to prove himself yet again, he leads the other teens on a dangerous treasure hunt. After nearly getting killed multiple times and beyond separated from his friends, Hiccup ultimately decides to look inside himself for the real treasure, and learns that one of the former chief's sons, one of the wealthiest and wisest, was also small and lanky like himself.

"Dragon Flower"

In Dragon Flower, after Mildew bought a suspicious item from Trader Johann, Toothless and the other dragons on Berk become sick. Hiccup later finds out Mildew planted Blue Oleander Flowers in Berk in an attempt to make the dragons sick. Afterwards, Hiccup had to get venom from a Scauldron to cure the dragons. After extracting and then giving the venom to the dragons, they fully recovered from their illness.

"Heather Report, Part 1" and Part 2

A strange girl washes up on Berk's shore in a shipwreck, and Hiccup wishes to help her out. He and his father allow her to stay with them for a few days until she gets back on her feet. Despite Astrid's distrust in Heather, Hiccup insists she's harmless and just needs some help. When it's found out that Heather does indeed have ulterior motives and steals Stormfly and the Book of Dragons, Hiccup regrets putting his trust in a stranger and helps Astrid get Stormfly back as well as the book. Unfortunately Alvin gets to the book before Hiccup could, giving possibility that he might learn to use dragons in his next attack, which could mean Berk's destruction. In desperation, Astrid comes up with a plan to disguise herself as Heather, hoping to trick Alvin into giving the book to her. Hiccup's unsure of her plan but goes along with it. He and the other Riders stand by while Astrid does her thing, and quickly comes to her aid when she signals to him. They eventually learn that Heather had been put in an impossible situation and had been forced to aid Alvin in order to save her parents' lives. After a short fight with the Outcasts and Heather's surprise appearance to help, the Book of Dragons is retrieved and Hiccup and the Riders return home, and declare Heather as a friend rather than an enemy as once thought.

"Thawfest"

The annual Thawfest Games had always been a thorn in Hiccup's side, but this year he knows he finally has the upper hand because this year dragons will be involved, and he knows he has the fastest and smartest dragon. He fails miserably in all the dragon-less events as expected, but gets a bit overconfident when Toothless can be included. Hiccup's so excited to finally win the Games instead of Snotlout, hoping it will shut his boisterous and arrogant peer up. His gloating, however, starts to turn Astrid off, which leads to an inner struggle. Hiccup finally decides to still allow Snotlout to win, in order to preserve his happiness and the dysfunctional relationship with his overbearing father. Astrid is so proud of Hiccup taking the high road that she kisses him again.

"When Lightning Strikes"

Hiccup uses his smarts to erect dragon perches throughout the village in hopes of sparing the more fragile buildings from collapse because heavy dragons keep landing on them. Shortly after their completion, however, horrible lightning storms begin, and start setting fires everywhere which turns out even more destructive than the dragons' mayhem. So the teens come up with the idea of building a statue of Thor in hopes of appeasing the god of thunder, and bringing the stems to an end. Hiccup overlooks the construction of the statue and it turns out magnificent, but the storms get even worse. The village starts to blame Toothless, being the "offspring of lighting", for the storms and want to ship him off the ends of the earth, thinking it's the only way to save their village. While trying to hide with Toothless, Hiccup realizes that the lightning is attracted to metal, since the perches,the statue, and Toothless prosthetic tail fin were all attracting the lightning more than anything else. To prove his point, he takes some metal weaponry and from the top of a ship's mast, demonstrates how the lightning is attracted to it. Unfortunately, he gets struck by lightning, and falls unconscious to the water below. Toothless pulls him out, and Stoick brings him home where he eventually wakes up in bed with a headache. He's relieved to find he still has his good leg though, and Stoick and Gobber inform him that he made his point, and the villagers now believe that Thor is angry at the metal, not Toothless.

"What Flies Beneath"

When Toothless starts acting weird and large holes are found on the island, Hiccup starts to investigate. Turns out the holes were created by a Whispering Death, and Toothless has negative memories of the new dragon and was insistent at fighting it off alone. Hiccup and Fishlegs explore the tunnels that the Whispering Death made in hopes of learning more, almost to get themselves killed by the aggressive wild dragon. Toothless saves them though, however still doesn't allow Hiccup to help him fight it. Hiccup comes up with a foolhardy plan to force Toothless into letting him help, proving his trust in Toothless and Toothless' protectiveness of Hiccup is stronger than anyone had formerly imagined. The two finally drive the wild dragon off, and help plug up the holes it left.

"Twinsanity"

Fishlegs tells Hiccup of the new hand signals he's been testing with Meatlug, and the two friends get excited over what more that can do with them. But as the Riders are starting to Train with hand signals, the twins have a falling out and it's announced that the chief of the Berserker Tribe is visiting for his annual signing of the Peace Treaty. Stoick instructs Hiccup to hide all the dragons for fear that their presence might be intimidating to the Berserkers. But without the twins' cooperation, Barf and Belch are proving hard to control. Meanwhile, Dagur, who has been a antagonistic bully toward Hiccup and Fishlegs for years, is found to be the new chief of the Berserkers. And he wants to kill a dragon as part of the peace treaty. Barf and Belch is the only dragon around, so Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, and Snotlout desperately try to get the twins to reconcile before either their dragon is killed, or the two tribes are thrust into war. Once the twins agree to work together again to save their dragon, Hiccup quickly comes up with a plan to use hand signals from afar to stage a dragon attack and scare Dagur and the Berserkers off.

"Defiant One"

Once again Hiccup and Snotlout display rivalry when Snotlout refuses to follow Hiccup's orders and flies off to do a rescue mission his own way. At first Hiccup is relieved at not having to deal with him any more, but Astrid again snaps him out of it, and Hiccup chases Snotlout down in hopes of bringing him back. The two get caught up in a large water spout, and crash land with Toothless on Outcast Island. With Toothless' tail fin destroyed and Hookfang separated from his rider by the water spout, they have immense difficulty working together in finding a way to get back home. Thanks to Snotlout's arrogance, Hiccup is eventually found and captured by Alvin. But Toothless persuades Snotlout into rescuing him, and together they finally manage to beat the Outcasts off long enough to fix Toothless' tail and escape.

"Breakneck Bog"

Hiccup is trying to help his father and Gobber search for Johann's ship after he's late adding because there's apparently something on it that Stoick desperately wants. Frustrated that Stoick won't give him details, Hiccup finally decides to search for Johann alone, again in hopes of proving himself. Astrid and Snotlout get him to allow them to join in the search, and despite Hiccup's demands that no one else know where they're going, Snotlout invites Fishlegs and the twins to come along as well. They finally find Johann unconscious on a piece of wood debris in the sea, and when he comes to, Johann tells Hiccup that what he had on his ship was actually for him, not his father. And that it was from his mother. Finding new desperation to find the ship, Hiccup sends Johann back to the safety of Berk with Snotlout and the twins. He leads Astrid and Fishlegs to Breakneck Bog, where a mysterious "fog monster" is said to be. They find the ship stuck in the top of a tree, which they all found to be very creepy. Once aboard, Hiccup searches for the chest that Johann said the object was suppose to be in, and finally finds it, only to have it snatched away again by the "fog monster". The Riders chase the "monster" on their dragons and discover that it's actually a pack of Smokebreath dragons, which collect metallic objects for their nest. But Hiccup is insistent on getting the chest back, and finally manages to get it away from the wild dragons and bring it home. At Stoick's instruction, Hiccup finally opens the chest to see a toy dragon that his mother had made him when he was a baby. He's in disbelief to hear that he was once frightened by dragons and had thrown the toy into the ocean when he had been young. But now he holds the toy as a treasure like nothing else.

"Gem of a Different Color"

Gobber is teaching the teens hand-to-hand combat, and pairs Hiccup with Astrid. As he's still small and rather weak, Astrid has him pinned to the ground in no time. Everyone is curious at Fishlegs' absence, however, and are intrigued when he shows up later that evening with a glowing object. At first they think it's a "Stone of Good Fortune", but soon realize that it's actually a dragon egg. Hiccup accompanies Fishlegs back to the island where he found it so it can be returned. Snotlout unfortunately steals more in hopes of selling them, and Hiccup, Astrid, and Fishlegs desperately try to collect all the eggs before the mothers attack and endanger the village. While reading up on this new dragon species, Fishlegs blames himself for all the trouble and Hiccup assures him that it could have happened to anyone and no one holds it against him. After Fishlegs finally returns the last egg to the mother, Hiccup adds a drawing of this new dragon to the Book of Dragons.

"We Are Family, Part 1" and Part 2

Hiccup and the Riders are working on their new dragon calls, and practicing for the parade they're expected to put on for Bork Week. But at seeing each of the other dragons having others of the same species to parade with, Hiccup feels bad for Toothless, being the only known of his kind. Later, Stoick and the Berk Council present Hiccup with the priceless Bork Papers, which are filled with info on dragons that was never included in the Book of Dragons. That night as Hiccup is looking through the new treasure, he finds papers on an island where Night Furies like Toothless are said to originate. Originally he plans for the Riders to accompany him in finding the island, but reading that Night Furies are hostile forward other species of dragons, he sneaks away during the night alone. At arriving, he uses his dragon call to see if other Night Furies might answer, and to his and Toothless' delight, one appears from behind a rock a short distance away. But Hiccup senses something is not right and calls Toothless back, just as he and Toothless are jumped by Alvin and the Outcasts. Turns out Mildew has joined forces with Alvin and planted fake info in the Bork Papers in hopes of luring Hiccup and his dragon to the island. They're taken to the Outcast prison where Alvin offers Hiccup his freedom in exchange for teaching him how to train dragons. Hiccup refuses and is locked up, while Tothless is muzzled and caged in another part of the island. Separated from his dragon and losing hope, he witnesses Mildew being locked up across the aisle, and even has sympathy for the old man when Alvin snatches Mildew's pet sheep from his arms, and suggests Mildew will be eating the sheep for his next meal. He agrees to join alliances with Mildew in escaping and getting their animals back. Once out of their cells, Hiccup trains a wild Nadder in aiding them, much to Mildew's distrust. Meanwhile, Toothless manages to use his own wit in escaping his muzzle and cage and goes looking for Hiccup. Rider and Dragon reunite just as Stoick, Gobber, and the rest of the teens show up to rescue them. They fight off the Outcasts once more, and leave for home, though Mildew falls from the dragon and is once again captured by the Outcasts. Back on Berk, the festivities for Bork Week begin complete with the dragon parade. With Hiccup leading the other dragons on Toothless, he's happy to call his friends and their dragons as part of Toothless' family along with himself.

Dragons: Defenders of Berk
Hiccup's forced to grow up a lot in Defenders of Berk, now that he's being hunted by Alvin for his dragon training knowledge, and soon also involuntarily dragged into a war with Dagur the Deranged and the Berserker Tribe over his rare and lethal dragon; a Night Fury. And during all this conflict, he and the Riders continue to discover new dragons and are sometimes forced to fight them as well, in order to defend Berk. Especially the Screaming Death and the Skrill, both of which almost destroy the island if it hadn't been for Hiccup and the Riders interfering.

At the discovery of Gronckle Iron, he has an "ornate" shield made that contains a crossbow, a grappling hook, a bola-launcher, and a mini-catapult. Like the Academy sign, the shield has a picture of a Night Fury with a red tail-fin, (a clear design of Toothless). It becomes his sidekick during adventures for the next several years.

Hiccup continues to evolve as a leader as he continues to take charge over the Academy and his father grants him more responsibilities. He also finds more confidence as he learns to think on his feet and plan ahead for the sake of everyone he cares about, especially Toothless. This holds the most true when Stoick is captured by Dagur and is threatened with execution if Hiccup doesn't surrender Toothless to him. For the first time, Hiccup is made Acting Chief in his father's absence, and despite being forced into a role he never really wanted, he's able to save his father, Toothless, and all of Berk, while managing to also form alliances with the Outcasts, get Dagur jailed, and bring an end to the Berserker War.

Though still awkward at times, the timid, clumsy, and rebellious boy that he was in the movie is now a confident, responsible, and thoughtful young man, who's also becoming a great leader. And as Stoick's successor, is officially anointed as the future Chief of Berk.

Dawn of the Dragon Racers
Hiccup and the other Riders, now about 18 years old, prepare for another annual Dragon Race, and begin reminiscing over how their Dragon Racing tradition actually started. So they flash back to a point shortly after the events of where Defenders of Berk left off. As it was, Silent Sven's sheep didn't like his new voice and all ran away just as the village was preparing for their big annual Regatta. Under Stoick's instruction, Hiccup and the other Dragon Riders fly around Berk to capture them, bringing an end to the chaos. Despite Hiccup's displeasure for competition, the other Riders turn it into a game to see who can collect the most sheep, and dub it "Dragon Racing". When they collect three sheep each, Silent Sven is then heard asking for the whereabouts of his prized possession: the Black Sheep. Hiccup tries to stop the competition, but the Riders proclaim that the black sheep would be the tie breaker and take off without listening. Hiccup ultimately decides he may as well join them and goes searching for the black sheep also. However he is stopped by Gobber, who tells him that Stoick wants to talk to him.

Stoick tells Hiccup that he will be gone for a few days on important business. He appoints Hiccup as acting chief in his absence and gives him strict orders to continue preparing for the Regatta. As the other Riders discuss the rules and conditions of their new game, Hiccup sadly tells them that there will be no Dragon Racing. But they go against his orders behind his back and begin another race, which the villagers, as well as the Riders, have begun to view as better than the Regatta.

Hiccup tries to sway the opinions of the villagers back toward the Regatta but his friends are less than supportive. Soon a riot is about to break out in the Great Hall, and as acting chief, Hiccup finally feels it's best for everyone if he just give in and allow the races to continue.

After Stoick returns, Hiccup meekly explains to him that he has chosen to replace the Regatta with Dragon Racing because he has had to make hard choices for the good of the people. To his surprise, his father agrees to run the Dragon Race instead, and even comes up with ideas such as face paints to give a warrior feel.

During the first annual Berk Dragon Race hosted by Stoick, Hiccup teams with Fishlegs to create Team Hiclegs, and they compete against Team Snotnuts (Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut). Astrid, who sprained her arm during the last race, acts as a referee. While Hiccup and Fishlegs are at a well looking for the black sheep, Hiccup spots Ruffnut and Tuffnut fly over with a black sheep and inwardly admits defeat. He goes back to the arena to congratulate Team Snotnuts on their victory, only to have Snotlout gloat over Hiccup's loss. But when Fishlegs arrives with another black sheep and Team Snotnuts' one is revealed to be a sheep coated in black paint, Hiccup and Fishlegs are announced as winners. Stoick then relieves Hiccup as acting chief, and Hiccup and Toothless decide to take off before his father changes his mind.

The flashback ends, and while remembering the events of that first Dragon Race three years earlier, the teens are reminded that Hiccup hates competition, it was Tuffnut who came up with the game as they knew it now, and Snotlout feels bad for having not contributed to the game at all. Only to be reminded by Hiccup that he's still important, and also invented the Sheep Launcher.

Season 1
It takes place about one year before the second movie and three years after Dagur's defeat. By now everything on Berk had completely changed, including the Vikings and the riders. Hiccup continued to search for new dragons, to no avail.

How to Train Your Dragon 2


Five years later, Hiccup has made Berk fully involved in riding dragons, during his years on Berk he has made great contributions such as custom stables, all you can eat feeding stations, a full-service dragon wash, top of the line fire prevention methods, even making Dragon Races that now serve as entertainment for Berk, putting the dragon problem fully behind them. Now that his hard work has paid off, Hiccup and Toothless travel across very distant lands and uncharted territories. He is also uses this as a reason to avoid his father. Hiccup is also known as The Pride of Berk throughout the village, and Stoick believes he is ready to succeed him as chieftain. This pressures Hiccup, because he doesn't think he's fully ready for such a big responsibility. He and Toothless crash-lands onto a strange new place that Hiccup names Itchy Armpit. Soon, Astrid and Stormfly catches up with the duo. As Hiccup and Astrid come across the destroyed fort of Eret, Son of Eret, Hiccup discovers that there are other Dragon Riders and hears from Eret, about the tyrannical Drago Bludvist, who is currently assembling a huge dragon army to take over the world.

Hiccup and Astrid escape from Eret's men and head back to Berk. As they arrive, Hiccup informs his father about Drago Bludvist, and Stoick quickly orders the villagers to fortify and protect the island from the "madman", but Hiccup suggests that there must be another way besides war. His father rejects this and orders the men to close the stalls and keep the other dragons under lock-and-key. But Hiccup refuses this method, and stages a mutiny by escaping from the stalls before the doors close, with Astrid following him. Hiccup heads back to Eret, and tells them that he wants to meet Drago so he can change his mind about dragons, but Stoick, Gobber and the other Riders interfere as they manage to find them. Stoick doesn't want Hiccup to go through with his plan, as he explains that Drago kills people without reason and concludes that he cannot be reasoned with. Even so, Hiccup still refuses to believe this and rebels against his father's wishes to find him.



Meanwhile, Hiccup flies over the clouds, over thinks his father's sayings and furiously screams in mid-air. Toothless becomes worried for his friend, but Hiccup promises that he'll keep him under protection no matter what. Suddenly, a figure emerges, and Hiccup thinks that it's his dad again but discovers a mysterious vigilante Dragon Rider, whom he later discovers is his long lost mother, Valka.

Hiccup wonders why Valka never had the intention to return to Berk after all these years that she survived. Valka responds that twenty years ago, a dragon broke into their house and she quickly rushed to Hiccup's rescue but only discovered that the dragon was not a vicious beast, but a gentle and intelligent creature, "whose soul reflected my own." However, Stoick spots the dragon and interferes; the dragon attacks him nearly burning him alive. Valka tells the dragon to spare him; the dragon suddenly looks at Valka while Stoick rescues an infant Hiccup. But unable to rescue Valka who is now abducted by the dragon, putting inside his mind that she was in fact going to get killed. But the dragon did not in fact harm her, and she never had the intention to return because she thought it would be safer for them, because she couldn't kill a dragon. Hiccup and his mom start over again and bond with each other more mutually this time with their dragons and enjoy the time they have.

Later, Hiccup discovers also that Valka does not have the intention to reason with Drago and decides to do it himself. Suddenly, Stoick and Gobber locate him and are about to escape the Sanctuary, but Stoick is shocked in silence to see his beautiful wife still alive and they rekindle their once more. Hiccup has never experienced such joy in reuniting with his mother and father. However, their celebration is cut short; they were unaware that Drago has set up their weapons on shore and orders the final attack on the Sanctuary. Later, the Bewilderbeasts engage on one another to determine who is truly the Alpha of all the Dragons. Unfortunately, Drago's Bewilderbeast emerges victorious. Hiccup confronts Drago, and tries to reason with him but Drago ignores his claims and orders his Bewilderbeast to kill Hiccup, which decides to send in Toothless instead. Toothless, now hypnotized, fires a plasma blast at Stoick, who manages to push Hiccup away and is killed instead. Hiccup, shocked to believe that his father has been killed, Toothless who got released from the Bewilderbeast's control to leave him alone as Hiccup became worried about Toothless' unwillingly abandonment.

Hiccup, Valka, Gobber, Astrid, and the other Riders hold a funeral for Stoick where Hiccup says his last wishes to his father. It seems that all hope is lost, as Drago and his Bewilderbeast freeze Berk, but Hiccup becomes inspired by his mother's words, and is now determined to avenge his father and continue his legacy and get his best friend back. Flying back to Berk on baby dragons, he quickly arrives to face Drago and tries to disenchant Toothless saying he knows Toothless would never hurt him or Stoick willingly, which he amazingly succeeds. Now, Hiccup and Toothless manage to fend off Drago and his Bewilderbeast and concludes that it's over, unaware that the Bewilderbeast has them in its sights and fires at them, encasing them in a huge blast of ice. Drago feels victorious, but the huge ice explodes and discovers that Hiccup and Toothless are unharmed. Toothless, now glowing with plasma, challenges the Alpha to protect his Rider. Toothless simultaneously fires plasma blast and frees the other dragons, who are touched by the bond between him and Hiccup. Drago is shocked to believe this. Hiccup orders Drago to stand down and let this end, but Drago strongly refuses and orders his Bewilderbeast to attack but unable to as all the dragons fire at it. Toothless fires one last plasma blast which massively explodes, destroying on of the Bewilderbeast's tusks, and defeating it at the same time. The Bewilderbeast retreats to the ocean, along with Drago.

Finally, the fight is over and Toothless is acknowledged as the new Alpha. Hiccup and Astrid share a brief romantic moment. Hiccup was then crowned as the new Chief of Berk by Gothi the Elder. The dragons and villagers celebrate, and Hiccup continues his father's legacy by building a statue in his honor. At the end, he has a dragon race with all his friends and puts the black sheep into Astrid's sheep pile instead of his own as Hiccup proudly announces that they may be a small community but are capable of maintaining peace and can stop those who oppose, and they have something that even the greatest invaders don't have: they may have armies and armadas but Berk has their own dragons.

Burning Midnight
We get the first glimpse of Hiccup as Chief of Berk.

The Serpent’s Heir
Hiccup then tried help Snotlout and Gobber in removing Bonesnarl's armor off. Hiccup tried to calm it down and then save 2 children from falling off ice. Hiccup then allowed Bonesnarl to keep his armor on. Hiccup then defended Eret from several member of the tribe by scaring them off with the Dragon Blade. Hiccup then spoke with his mother about his new status as the chief.

Hiccup then met up with the Thorston twins when a ship came. The ship, with Calder and people from Nepenthe, had come at the behest of their King, Mikkel. Hiccup then told them his father was dead and listened as Calder told them about tremors that were shaking the the island. Hiccup, despite Astrid's objections, agreed to help them.

Together, Hiccup and his fellow riders went with Calder and followed his ship. Hiccup was then amazed by how the Thunderdrums and Scauldrons were paying tribute to Toothless and escorted them to Nepenthe. They then saw a new tidal class dragon. As they approached Nepenthe, Hiccup and the other riders then saw the island shaking due to the tremors

Hiccup then met Mikkel's son, Mik. Hiccup then spoke to Mik, but he insisted that he and the other riders should enjoy the hot pools. He was disappointed when the most the riders and the dragons chose to enjoy the hot pools instead of doing their reconnaissance mission. Only Valak, Astrid, Eret and their dragons did reconnaissance on the island. However, they could not figure out what kind of dragons were causing the tremors nor why their dragons were the only one.

Hiccup and the other riders then told Mik that they heading back to Berk. However, Mik, Snotlout, the twins, Fishlegs, their dragons and Toothless ate some food that was drugged by Calder. Calder then revealed that he wanted them to come to complete his transformation into a dragon.

Hiccup and his riders were then imprisoned by Calder and his followers. Calder then took Hiccup's dragon blade to complete his transformation. However, Hiccup and his riders were then able to free themselves and escape on their dragons. Hiccup then discovered that the island itself were the dragons causing the tremors. The dragons, Foreverwings, were awakened from their hibernation by the new Alpha. Hiccup then had his riders rescue the people from the Foreverwings lava and disarm Calder's followers.

Hiccup and Toothless were then able to confirm Toothless's positon as Alpha and the foreverwings left the island. Hiccup was then confronted by Calder who tried to kill hiccup, but hiccup was able to throw a container of Zippleback gas at him that forced to fall to jump to his death. Before leaving Nepenthe, Hiccup gave Mik a shovel to help rebuild their island. Hiccup and the other riders then returned to Berk. There, Hiccup assigned Eret and others to build the monument to Stoick.
