Submaripper (comics)

The Submaripper is a new dragon introduced in the Riders of Berk comic book, Volume 2: Dangers of the Deep. It also appears in Dragons: Rise of Berk

Dragon Appearence
The dragon is massive in size, much bigger than a viking boat. It's head is similar to a Gronckle's head with tiny ears on the top and two big fangs on its lower jaw. Unlike the Gronckle, the Submaripper has a large sharp horn in its snout, similar to a rhino. Its spikes are flattened and rounded like a Zippleback's. This dragon's wings are relatively small in size compared to its body, while its tail is extremely large (about twice its body length) and prehensile. It uses its tail to grab objects like an octopus would do with its tentacles. The dragon has at least one pair of big strong legs near its head which end in big sharp claws.

Acid
The Submaripper can produce acid and shoot it at its opponents. It is really powerful.

Prehensile Tail
These dragons had a long tail that makes up close to half its length. It is very strong, muscular and flexible, like a useful limb. Submarippers use their tails to whip its opponents and grab items.

Creating Whirlpools
The Submaripper is able to create whirlpools that sucks large Viking Ships down into the ocean. It is useful in tackling large ships attacking it.

In the Comics
A Submaripper lived in the Veil of Mists and attacked Stoick's ship when they went there looking for fish. Vikings traditionally confused this dragon with other sea monsters.
