Albatross

Albatrosses are sea birds mentioned only one in the How to Train Your Dragon Franchise.

Description
Albatrosses, also called tubenoses, are large sea birds of the family Diomedeidae. There are 21 species of albatrosses, out of which 19 are threatened. They are the birds with the largest wingspan on Earth, with some exemplars reaching up 3.7 metres.

The albatross is an easily identifiable bird with long, narrow wings, a large head, and a long, strong bill which is hooked at the end and has sharp blades on either side to handle slippery prey. There are three toes on each of the albatross's feet with webbed skin between each one. Unlike many other species of bird, the albatross has no hind toes as these sea-birds simply have no need for them.

Function
There is currently no function for the albatross, nor in the franchise, nor in the real life.

School of Dragons
Albatrosses are briefly mentioned in the stable quests, during some missions. While dragons are sent on quests, there are logs which tell the player what happens to the dragons during the journey. One option is that the dragons meet a flock of albatrosses and fly with them.
