Biography Background
"One night a dragon broke into our house, finding you in the cradle. I rushed to protected you, but what I saw was proof of everything I believed. This wasn’t a vicious beast, but an intelligent, gentle creature, whose soul reflected my own. You and your father nearly died that night, all because I couldn’t kill a dragon."

- Valka, explaining the events of her disappearance

Fifteen years before the start 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. (How to Train Your Dragon 2) Valka soon sewed Hiccup a dragon toy with his name stitched into the sides. Hiccup was then given a small axe by Stoick, so he could start training much to his mother's chagrin. (Have Dragon Will Travel, Part 2)

One night a dragon known as a Stormcutter broke into their house, finding baby Hiccup in the cradle. Valka rushed to his rescue, but found the dragon curiously playing with Hiccup, 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 and approach Valka. After staring into each other's eyes, Stoick rushed into the scene. He and the dragon started fighting with each other, the results led to Valka being abducted by the dragon, leaving her husband heartbroken. 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. (Breakneck Bog)

Stoick became overly protective of his son, while Valka formed a bond with the Stormcutter who abducted her, naming him Cloudjumper and became willing to spend the rest of her life staying away from Berk, including her family, fearing that her love of dragons might harm those she cares about. (How to Train Your Dragon 2)

How to Train Your Dragon
At the start, Hiccup is an embarrassment to his father, Stoick the Vast, the Chief of the Hairy 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 assistant to Gobber the Belch, the village blacksmith. One night during a dragon raid, 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 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 frees him.



Meanwhile, early in the day, as was he done looking for the Night Fury, Hiccup is enrolled into Dragon Training, where he's expected to learn to fight and kill dragons by Stoick, in hope that his son will man up and let go of himself. 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, which he names Toothless after his retractable fangs, he builds him a prosthetic tail-fin to replace the one his Mangler injured, helps Toothless regain 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 scratch 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 unexplained absences after Dragon Training sessions, although no one really comments on it. Eventually, after Hiccup places the 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 on Toothless 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 by 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 again to get out of the cove alone, 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 denounces 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 and 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, and teaches them 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, with Gobber commenting that Hiccup is, "every bit the boar-headed, stubborn Viking you ever were," to Stoick, who nods humbly. 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 to the seafloor. Hiccup dives into the water in a desperate attempt to free Toothless, but goes limp after a only 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 and tells him 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 shoot holes into its wings, and then diving towards the Nest at a high speed, so that after Toothless blasts a plasma bolt into its mouth, it cannot pull up in time. During the fight, though, Toothless' prosthetic tail catches on fire, so as they are pulling out the last part of the plan (blasting fire into its mouth), they're running out of time. The Red Death crashes into the ground, triggering an explosion on impact. Hiccup and Toothless fly through its various spines and the flame; however, they run into the Red Death's tail at the last moment as they attempt to escape the resulting blast. 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, 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 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, this time seemingly as boyfriend and girlfriend, as the rest of the village accepts dragons into the island as companions.

Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon
Hiccup and his fellow Riders attempt to help Gobber on his quest to 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 next encounters on him, which always has a ridiculous and insane background. Hiccup at first believes Gobber's stories to be true, despite the Riders calling them ridiculous and insane. After being shipwrecked and landing on the island, Gobber tells them that this is the place for the Boneknapper to come and arrive. When Gobber sets up a trap to lure the Boneknapper using Fishlegs as bait, 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 arriving just behind them. When they finally witness the dragon, Hiccup and the rest finally believes Gobber and runs for safety inside the trap. The Boneknapper tries to smash its way in, but Hiccup notices that its coat of armor of bones is missing a small last one in its chest. He realizes the belt buckle Gobber is using is actually the perfect bone for it's coat of armor and tells Gobber to takes off his pants.

The Riders are all confused, but Hiccup explains that Fishlegs may be right, as the Boneknapper has a roar, but is unable to produce one as Gobber refuses to give up its bone piece. Consequently, the Boneknapper grabs Gobber with its mouth and brutally drags him up high, while Hiccup shouts to Gobber to give up the bone piece. Eventually, when he is tossed high up, Gobber finally gives and throws the bone to the Boneknapper, successfully attaching it to the hole. 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 thinking that he's in grave danger. But actually, the Boneknapper takes a liking to Gobber after giving him the bone piece, and Gobber pets it as it acts like a dog. But without the belt buckle, Gobber's pants fall down, gravely disgusting 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 after having its bone piece, now making it able to roar for the first time. Fishlegs then explains its roar acts as a mating call. When Gobber denies it to be just a myth, he is proven wrong. Hiccup and the rest finds it to be true, as a few other Boneknapper dragons hear the call and follow them going straight to Berk, as Gobber exclaims to them:

"I think Stoick will believe me now, eh? (laughs) . .."

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 storm of oncoming dragons, during which Hiccup's helmet is knocked off and falls into the ocean. Although Toothless attempts 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 of where the dragons have gone to, to which Hiccup has no answer.

The next morning, Hiccup is at 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 yak nog. After the tail is finished, Hiccup attaches it on Toothless. 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 is 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. Determining he ought to go home for Snoggletog, he persuades Hookfang for a ride as the other dragons follow with their hatchlings in tow despite Hiccup's protests not to, inadvertently starting the return migration. Using an old Viking ship, Hiccup is able to safely return the dragons, along with their babies, to Berk.

At the Great Hall, Hiccup receives a kiss and a hug from Astrid for bringing the dragons back, but he is still worried about Toothless' whereabouts. 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.

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. 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 him, 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.

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.(How to Start a Dragon Academy) 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 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 entrusts 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". Wild and rogue dragons are also either battled or trained by him during the series. Perhaps their 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 Hiccup usually emerges the victor, much to Alvin's frustration.

Hiccup has been seen to have mild character development throughout the series. 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 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.

Dragons: Defenders of Berk
Like in Riders of Berk, Hiccup, in Dragons: Defenders of Berk has still shown to be one of the more intelligent Vikings in the Academy, along with Fishlegs and Astrid. He has an "ornate" shield made from Gronckle Iron 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).

Hiccup continues to act as a protector of Berk and leader of the Dragon Riders, but he faces two new obstacles: Dagur the Deranged, the unstable leader of the feared Berserker Tribe who absorbs The Outcast Tribe into his forces and becomes obsessed with acquiring Toothless as a trophy, and the Screaming Death, a massive Whispering Death subspecies that only appears once every three hundred years.

Dragons: Race to the Edge
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 then found the Dragon Eye in the commander's quarters. When Hiccup and Toothless got out of The Reaper 's hull, Hiccup was then confronted by Dagur and his men, who demanded Hiccup to give the Eye in exchange for the lives of his riders. Hiccup then gave Dagur the dragon eye, attempted to free his friends, and then went after Dagur. However, Dagur used a catapult to sink The Reaper to keep Hiccup away. Despite that, Hiccup was able to rescue his friends and retrieve the Eye from Dagur.

Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 2
Hiccup, Gothi, and the other riders then went to Glacier Island to get a tooth from a Snow Wraith. They were successful in getting a tooth but could not unlock the dragon eye.

There, they found the axe on the back of a Armorwing. They were unable to remove the axe, but were able to get some Smothering Smokebreaths to free the axe. Hiccup then defended the Armor wing by leading the Smokebreaths away.

The Zippleback Experience
Hiccup and Toothless then saved Barf and Belch's life from an avalanche, earning a life debt from them. Hiccup became annoyed by this when they filled his hut with fish and damaged his leg. Hiccup was then captured by Dagur's men and taken to Ryker's ship where they demanded the information from dragon eye from him. However, Hiccup was then saved by Barf & Belch, ending their life debt.

Hiccup was then informed by Astrid that Ryker was heading to Glacier Island to capture the snow wraith. There Hiccup discovered the Snow Wraith pack. At first, they were captured by Ryker's hunters, but were then relocated by Hiccup to another island. Hiccup then tried to take Heather out, but was told by Astrid that she was working with them as a spy. At first, Hiccup was disappointed that Astrid kept this from him. However, he was pleased to know that Ryker was not the leader, but Viggo Grimborn was the chief of the dragon hunters.

Edge of Disaster, Part 1
Hiccup then received a message from Trader Johann that his ship was under attack by Dragon Hunters. He took Snotlout, Fishlegs and their dragon with them, leaving only Astrid and the twins to defend the Edge.

Dawn of the Dragon Racers
In a flashback during which most of Dawn of the Dragon Racers takes place, Hiccup and the other Dragon Riders fly around to capture sheep that are running around and causing chaos in Berk. This turns into a competition in which Riders would collect as many sheep as they can. 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 take off without listening, so Hiccup decides to go for the black sheep also. 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 for an important business. He appoints Hiccup acting chief in his absence and gives him strict orders to prepare for the Regatta. Hiccup sadly tells the Riders that there will be no Dragon Racing, but they go against his orders and participate in Dragon Racing, which the villagers, as well as the Riders, view as better than the Regatta.

After Stoick arrives, Hiccup 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. Stoick agrees to run the Dragon Race, to Hiccup's surprise, and 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). While Hiccup and Fishlegs are at a well (where Fishlegs will find the black sheep) and Fishlegs flies into the well, Hiccup spots Ruffnut and Tuffnut with a black sheep. He goes back to the arena to congratulate Team Snotnuts for 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.

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.

How To Train Your Dragon 3
Hiccup and the gang will appear in How To Train Your Dragon 3 to defeat an unknown antagonist. Whether this is Drago Bludvist is unknown.

Personality
Despite his physical shortcomings, Hiccup does his best to succeed as a Viking. He is intelligent and is constantly creating inventions for various uses throughout the film, including a bola sling, a prosthetic tail, a saddle, and a riding vest. At first, however, Hiccup is obsessed with proving himself to the rest of his tribe by killing a dragon; he often doesn't think things through and is more determined to gain the recognition of his peers than he is heedful of others' orders, often causing problems for the rest of the tribe, and himself. Despite this, Hiccup shows great aptitude at being a leader and a strategist: he leads his Dragon Training classmates into battle, using his friends' strengths wisely in the battle against the Red Death. Hiccup also has very good observational skills which come in handy during his time with Toothless and during Dragon Training. For example, he's able to hypothesize that dragons have a natural disdain for eel when his own dragon companion refuses to eat one himself, and uses this to successfully drive back a Hideous Zippleback later.

He is very protective of Astrid and in the first movie, he had a crush on her. Their feelings built up as they grew as the series passed by and he never stopped loving her. When she was dying from the Scourge of Odin, he said to her, "I can't imagine a world without you." which is the most romantic thing he has said to her during the show in Race to the Edge. This shows that he truly does love her. He also calls her 'm'lady' and they have a very close, loving relationship and as their relationship develops, they become less afraid of showing their affection towards each other in public. The canon's song/music of 'Hiccstrid' is the romantic flight music from the first movie and it is played whenever Hiccup and Astrid is having a romantic moment.

Among the other teenage Vikings, Hiccup first comes off as awkward, mainly because he's a poor fighter, and rather scrawny for a Viking. As he becomes more adept at fighting dragons, however, they start paying more attention to him, some even starting to try to talk to him. Despite this, Hiccup remains shy and secretive, preferring to be alone with Toothless, likely because he's unused to all the positive attention. He also tends to be sarcastic with a dry sense of humor that can sometimes put him at odds with the other Vikings in his tribe. It also seems that Hiccup likes to hide his fear with said sarcasm and dry humor. Due to his shyness, he had a habit of stuttering and stammering when talking to some of the other Vikings, especially Astrid or when his father was angry at him. Despite his many virtues and his clear capabilities as a leader, Hiccup is not without his flaws. He is rather prone to letting his insecurities cloud his judgment and effect his actions; in the film, his desperation for the acceptance of his tribe, and his father in particular, cause him to regularly attempt to kill dragons along with the villagers, only to end up doing more harm then good due to his clumsiness. In the television show, his mistaken belief that Stoick still does not accept him causes him to lead the other Vikings on a potentially dangerous treasure hunt to prove himself. His innate friendliness and tendency to give others the benefit of the doubt cause him to be a little too trusting of strangers, leaving him vulnerable to manipulation and deceit by more dishonest characters, such as Heather and Mildew, on more then one occasion. In the episode Thawfest, Hiccup shows a more unlikable, hypercompetitive side to his personality as he begins to score victories over Snotlout.

Since Hiccup is unaccustomed to winning anything, he handles it poorly, letting the glory go to his head to the point where he briefly becomes almost if not as arrogant and unpleasant as Snotlout. Hiccup is also prone to overconfidence in his ability as a diplomat due to being mostly successful so far, which becomes a major catalyst of the second film's story line; his total belief that he would be able to reason with Drago causes him to run away from Berk to confront the warlord, causing Stoick and Valka, who both understood and witnessed firsthand the true extent of Drago's psychopathy and knew he could not be reasoned with, to chase after him. This indirectly but ultimately leads to Stoick's death at the hands of Drago when he hypnotizes Toothless into attacking Hiccup to demonstrate the superiority of his philosophy over Hiccup's. In spite of all his flaws, Hiccup is never above admitting when he is or has been wrong, and will do his best to make amends with others, showing he has a great deal of humility, and he learns from his mistakes.

One extremely notable character trait Hiccup possesses is a deep sense of compassion. Because of this he spares Toothless, and in doing so he changes the world of Vikings and dragons forever. He was extremely uncomfortable with the thought of having to kill a dragon in the arena later in the film. Hiccup carries this quality into the television series. He shows great sympathy to Snotlout at the end of the Thawfest Games, giving up his own glory and fame for the sake of his friend and cousin though Snotlout showed no gratitude at all. He will almost never allow Toothless to use his full power against foes. In What Flies Beneath, he begs Toothless to spare a Whispering Death that had nearly killed both of them just moments earlier. The peak of Hiccup's sympathy is displayed in his releasing Mildew, the very man who had betrayed him, from an Outcast cell. Upon seeing the Outcasts take Mildew's one beloved possession, his sheep, Hiccup clearly displays pity for the old man. Unfortunately Hiccup is occasionally naïve in his sympathy, as Mildew betrayed him yet again right afterwards. Still, his kindheartedness has resulted in many a victory and accomplished the training of the deadliest dragons in the world.

The one character Hiccup seems to be willing to attack and even kill was Alvin. Originally, Hiccup was more interested in avoiding him, but as Alvin's plots hit closer and closer to everything Hiccup cares about, Hiccup seems to harden in a difficult resolution. He has been seen ordering Toothless to kill Alvin when Alvin was threatening to toss Astrid off of a cliff. In the finale, Hiccup and Toothless even charged Alvin in an attempt to kill him after he had captured, threatened, and deeply insulted both of them. Although they failed in this attempt, Alvin was still one of the few people Hiccup is willing to let Toothless kill but gave up when Alvin turn into the good side. Overall, Hiccup is an intelligent, nice and likable person who is naturally bighearted and innocent. It's shown in the sequel that he and Toothless have become "adrenaline junkies", performing tricks like free-falling. He has also gone from being a shy boy, to a confident young man, and "the greatest Dragon Master this world has ever seen" (as Astrid describes him to Drago Bludvist) and he is shown to care for his loved ones, especially Stoick, Valka, Toothless and Astrid.

Appearance


In the first film, Hiccup's appearance is very similar to his book counterpart. He is rather scrawny for his age, compared to the other Vikings, and isn't very tall, being barely around Astrid's height. He initially has little physical strength, as he has difficulty lifting a large standard battle axe handed to him by his father. He has auburn hair parting to his right with minor freckles on his cheeks and dulled green eyes. One of his more unique traits is a small, white scar just below his bottom lip on the right side of his face, which he received as a baby the night Cloudjumper took his mother away.

In the first film, he is usually seen wearing a long-sleeve, light-green tunic and a dark brown fur vest that matches his boots. When he rides Toothless, he takes off his vest and wears a flying harness that attaches to Toothless' saddle. After Dragon Training, he starts to wear a Viking helmet given to him by his father made from half of his mother's breast plate (Stoick owning and wearing the other half). Following the battle with the Red Death, Hiccup's left leg up to his shin is replaced with a metal prosthetic made by Gobber, constructed with a spring system and an adapter stirrup for flying with Toothless.

If observed closely, it can be noticed that his hair has slightly grown between Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk although he is still wearing his green tunic with light brown vest and boot. In Dawn of the Dragon Racers, Hiccup wears a leather vest-like armor which is dark brown on top of his long-sleeve dark green tunic with brown arm brackets, double-layered shoulder guards (one of them has a Berk Dragon Training Academy symbol on the right shoulder) and later he wears an red-orange tunic in Race to the Edge.

In How to Train Your Dragon 2, Hiccup has grown considerably. He's now the tallest of the teens at 6'1" and his hair is somewhat scraggy and unkempt with two small braids behind his right ear. If one notices closely, it can be seen that he has grown a stubble on his chin. His eye color has even seemed to brighten along with his confidence. He seems to have gained a leaner, stronger build as compared to the first movie and is no longer considered a runt. His prosthetic is also different, as it is more mechanical than before, making it "a Swiss army knife for prosthesis." Hiccup seems to have improved its ability and function, as he stated he would in the first movie. His outfit now consists of a basic tunic, leather pants, and padding, all covered by a type of leather armor plating along his shoulders and upper chest, along with arm brackets that seem to all be designed by himself, making him more streamline in the air like Toothless. When flying, he is also seen wearing a matching spiked, masked helmet that protects his face and head. His armor also doubles as a squirrel jacket that enables him to glide in the air alongside Toothless. He also carries a weapon, a retractable fire blade called Inferno.

Abilities, Skills and Talents
Being the main character of the franchise, Hiccup has many varied and useful talents.


 * Dragon Training and Riding: Though he only discovers this ability during the first film, Hiccup has grown to become the best Dragon Trainer on the island. His dragon, Toothless, is the rarest and best dragon in the Academy. Hiccup openly claims to be the best Dragon Rider in the episode Thawfest. He and Toothless clearly have the strongest bond in the series. Because of his talents he has been made head of the Berk Dragon Academy. In the franchise, Hiccup is always the one looked to when dragon related problems or needs come up. He trained a wild Monstrous Nightmare in seconds in Defiant One. This is noticeably faster than even Astrid who had to train the same type of dragon and does manage to do so but takes longer. He's also able to keep an enraged Whispering Death from running over him by simply putting his hand forward in What Flies Beneath. Still, some dragon challenges (including said Whispering Death) are greater than his ability, but he can always rely on Toothless and the other teens to have his back. Hiccup has managed to devise a more effective method of calming wild dragons with Inferno as it produces the dragon fire of both a Monstrous Nightmare and a Hideous Zippleback. This makes the dragons consider Hiccup as one of their own as only a 'dragon' should be able to wield dragon fire.


 * Leadership: Despite spending most of his life ignored by others, Hiccup is a natural leader. Most of the time the other riders follow his commands without question. However, he had difficulty trying to control the rest of the village when he was made Acting Chief. In Race to the Edge, Stoick notices Hiccup's abilities as a leader improving, ultimately convinced Hiccup was ready to become Berk's chief by the time of the second film.


 * Drawing: Even before Hiccup began to train dragons, he practiced drawing. He is practically never without his journal and a large charcoal pencil. His sketches are usually quick and slightly messy, but compared to most other Vikings he is quite good. He uses this talent often. He sketches Toothless upon his second encounter with him. He uses his notebook to copy the map to the Isle of Night (unfortunately). He uses his artist talent to aid him in making plans and inventions. His room is littered with drawings of Toothless.


 * Inventing: Hiccup learned a great deal about crafting from Gobber. His many years of apprenticeship have certainly paid off. He has created many ingenious devices throughout the franchise. He uses the forge well (despite his small size), and he's excellent at working leather. His devices were originally weapon like, and the Mangler cannon he designed allowed him to take down a Night Fury. After training Toothless he shifted in his desires and started working on a new tail for Toothless. This tail has been modified many times and is a work of sheer genius. He even created an auto tail using complex gear systems. Besides that Hiccup has managed to design a plethora of other objects, from winches to telescopes. He invented his own flight suit and his Dragon Blade, Inferno. He was also able to build a set of welding goggles using the death's song amber and could withstand the glow of a flightmare and sunrise.


 * Intelligence: This talent is really at the heart of all Hiccup's other abilities. His intelligence is proven many times throughout the film and the series. He's almost always the one to come up with the solutions to the problems that the Riders face. He's shown to be very cunning, resourceful and perceptive and possesses a great aptitude for strategy and tactics. He's also fairly knowledgeable. Unlike Fishlegs who only spews out facts, Hiccup is able to use them for practical use and he does it very well. He was able to solve all the riddles on Hamish's treasure map even when under pressure and the feat is especially notable because it was said that only a most brilliant mind could solve those clues.


 * Strength and Fighting Skills: Due to Hiccup's initial size, he's not much of a fighter. In fact, most weapons are too heavy for him and struggles to lift them. Hiccup usually fights along side Toothless. Their style is more about defense. The only time Hiccup and Toothless attacked first was against Alvin in We Are Family, Part 2. Other than that, it is easy for others to overtake Hiccup. Hiccup was also able to face Dagur with only his new shield in The Night and the Fury. Hiccup was also able to fight Outcasts and Berserkers without a problem using his shield in Cast Out, Part 2. Hiccup has been shown to have an impressive strength when angered or in defense. Prime examples are in The Zippleback Experience when Hiccup punched Snotlout hard enough to knock out a few of his teeth. He was also able to block a Berserker with just his hands. While Hiccup does not do any direct fighting in How to Train Your Dragon 2, he does wield his Dragon Blade, Inferno, with great precision and skill, such as when freeing Stormfly or preventing Drago from reaching his bull hook.


 * Roar Call: He can make a roar noise that sounds similar to Toothless's roar, as a way for Toothless to find Hiccup.


 * Precision: Like Toothless, Hiccup has amazing aim, like when he was able to shoot Toothless down in the first film and in Appetite for Destruction hit a Deadly Nadder in the chest using his shield while flying in mid-air. He also managed to throw Inferno with enough accuracy that it landed right in front of Drago's hand just as he was reaching for his bull hook to control his Bewilderbeast.


 * Endurance: While it may seem hard to believe at first due to his small stature, Hiccup always manages to bounce back from a severe injury. For example, in When Lightning Strikes, he was struck directly in the head by a massive bolt of lightning, and still managed to wake up the next morning. Also, at the end of How to Train Your Dragon, he was knocked off of Toothless by the Red Death's massive club-tail, and (with the help of Toothless, of course) managed to wake up about a couple weeks later.


 * Persuasion: Hiccup is known to be very persuasive, (Astrid says so herself) as he has convinced his father, the teens, the whole village of Berk, Dagur, Alvin, even Eret to give dragons a closer look and see the beauty of them. In Buffalord Soldier, he also managed to persuade Viggo to give him the cure for Astrid's illness.

Toothless
"I wouldn't kill him, because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him...and I saw myself."

- Hiccup, explaining to Astrid why he didn't kill Toothless

Hiccup and Toothless have a brotherly relationship. The two of them do seem to see each other as equals, And everyone seems to acknowledge that Toothless is by far Hiccup's closest friend. At first, both keep their distance after Hiccup shoots Toothless down with the invention he called the "Mangler", but their mutual curiosity leads them to try and learn more about each other. Hiccup starts to observe Toothless and learns many secrets about dragons from these observations that help Hiccup advance in his dragon fighting classes. Toothless starts to trust Hiccup and even allows him to touch him, and eventually ride him. The depth of their relationship is furthered when Hiccup fashions a prosthetic tail for Toothless, only to discover that the two need each other to use it to fly; Hiccup is needed to manipulate the prosthetic tail while Toothless does the actual flying.

Toothless is later very playful around Hiccup, and is also very protective of and loyal to him. This is shown in how before, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out of the cove without flying, until he heard Hiccup's scream, then manages to climb out and fight off a Monstrous Nightmare in the Dragon Training ring before it could kill Hiccup, and refusing to leave when the rest of the village joins in on the fight, seeing them as a threat. Later, when Hiccup is knocked off of him while attempting to escape the explosion that kills the Red Death, Toothless manages to reach for and protect Hiccup by wrapping him in his wings, even without his own prosthetic tail. Toothless is later overjoyed when Hiccup wakes up after the battle, jumping around his house with glee, and tickling him by wildly licking his face, before helping his human friend to walk on his new prosthetic leg.



Their friendship is also strong in Gift of the Night Fury when Hiccup crafted a new tail for Toothless so he can fly on his own. Toothless takes off, and only later Hiccup finds out why. When Toothless comes back, Hiccup finds out he took off to find his helmet. At the end Toothless trashed his new tail showing that he wanted to need Hiccup for him to fly.

Toothless and Hiccup's relationship remains mostly the same in Riders of Berk. They do occasionally have problems with one another as seen in The Terrible Twos and What Flies Beneath, but they always come through for one another. Hiccup and Toothless continue to grow closer throughout the series, and both of them risk their lives for each other multiple times. Hiccup tries to make Toothless happy by finding more Night Furies, but his efforts are foiled when Mildew and Alvin trap them both. In the end, Toothless remains happy to stay with Hiccup as his closest companion and to remain one of a kind. Toothless seems to be very happy and satisfied to be with Hiccup, and Hiccup is extremely grateful to have Toothless be the closest friend he could ever have.



During How to Train Your Dragon 2, Hiccup and Toothless are shown to only have their friendship grown as they have become more reliant and love of each other like when Hiccup has an idea to confront Drago and try to convince him to stop trapping dragons, Toothless remains more friendly towards Eret and his crew. Though when Toothless is controlled by Drago through his Bewilderbeast and kills Stoick, Hiccup gets upset at the death of his father and blindly yells at Toothless to go away, which Toothless reluctantly follows shortly before being controlled again. Later, however, their friendship and loyalty to one another proves to be strong enough fully free Toothless from the Bewilderbeast's control.

Later, after being set free, Toothless trusts Hiccup enough to be his eyes and ears and binds them so the Bewilderbeast can't control him. When they eventually get put to the ground, Toothless sits behind Hiccup when he talks to Drago one last time and that is when Drago tells his Bewilderbeast to kill Hiccup which Toothless quickly jumps in to cover Hiccup from the ice.

It is thought to be an unsuccessful attempt that kills both Hiccup and Toothless, but when a blue color and sound similar to when Toothless would shoot starts resonating from the ice, everyone wonders what was happening and then the ice breaks, revealing Toothless, who is now covered in a blue color, similar to his plasma bolts, on his back and in his mouth and nostrils, is covering Hiccup from the ice and then uncurls from Hiccup. When he uncurls, he sprints to the edge of an ice spike on Berk and challenges the Bewilderbeast under Drago's control to the dragon's role of Alpha to protect Hiccup.



When Toothless, with his new found power and strength, attacks the Bewilderbeast, he proves that his love, friendship and companionship with Hiccup has only grown. Toothless celebrated his best friend's coronation along with Valka, Gobber, Astrid and the entire Isle of Berk.

Hiccup and Toothless also share the same roles in their respective societies. In the series, Hiccup was the de facto leader of the teens while Toothless was the de facto leader of the teens' dragons. In How to Train Your Dragon 2, Toothless ascends to be the Alpha and leader of all dragons while Hiccup becomes the Chief of Berk.

Stoick the Vast
"I was so afraid of becoming my dad mostly because I thought I never could. How do you become someone that great, that brave, that selfless? I guess you can only try."

- Hiccup, about his now-deceased father

Hiccup's father is the Chief of the village, making Hiccup himself the next in line to become Chief. However, the two seem to be complete opposites of each other: whereas Stoick is large, strong, brawny, and the best dragon fighter in the village, Hiccup is lanky, weak, brainy, and perhaps (initially, at least) the worst dragon fighter on the island. Their relationship is strained because of these differences, as Hiccup wants to make his dad proud by conforming to Viking norms and attempting to slay dragons, but ends up making things worse most of the time. also

Though confused as to what to do about Hiccup's peculiarities as a Viking, Stoick is very protective of his son due on what happened to Valka; he is at first reluctant to send Hiccup to Dragon Training for fear that he will be killed. Moreover, during a dragon raid, it is shown that Stoick, along with everyone else in the village, prefers that Hiccup stay inside and out of harm's way (though this may be because Hiccup is more of a risk to the village than the dragons are to him).

Stoick becomes proud of Hiccup when he hears of Hiccup's success in Dragon Training and is elated to finally have something in common with his son, although his attempt at conversation with his awkward son ended in failure. However, after his son's relationship with Toothless is revealed, their small progress with one another is destroyed. Stoick accuses Hiccup of siding with the dragons and later no longer considers Hiccup to be his son. Their relationship is later mended when Hiccup comes to the rescue of the older Vikings during their confrontation with the Red Death with the help of his classmates and the dragons used in training, showing his dad his otherwise unseen bravery and leadership. This causes Stoick to apologize for his prejudice against dragons and say that he is proud to call Hiccup his son. Stoick shows how deeply he cares for Hiccup when he believes that Hiccup is dead and mourns, apologizing for not having listened to him before. He shows great happiness when he learns that Hiccup is still alive thanks to Toothless' efforts. Later, Stoick and the village welcome Hiccup as a hero and Stoick finally accepts his son for who he is.

In the television series, Hiccup is given the responsibility over the dragons. However, partly due to Stoick's emotionally inarticulate nature and moments of unintentional insensitivity, his father's approval and acceptance still proves to be a major source of insecurity in Hiccup's life, and he is shown to go to great lengths to confirm that his father really is proud of him. In Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Young Man, after being painted stronger than he is, Hiccup sets out on a treasure hunt that Stoick failed to prove himself. Stoick apologized at the end for making his son feel he had to do something big to be accepted. A more accurate picture was placed in the Great Hall to replace the other one. In Thawfest, during the Thawfest Games, Hiccup was determined to finally beat Snotlout. When he decided to throw the final race, he apologized to his father, and to himself, in his choice. Though Stoick was still proud of Hiccup in how well he'd done.

The two still often have a hard time communicating with each other. In How to Pick Your Dragon, when Hiccup attempted to teach how ride a dragon, Stoick seems to ignore Hiccup's teaching about how dragons need trust. Gobber told Hiccup that "it's a father's job to listen to his son, without letting on that he's heard a word". Stoick is still very protective of his son. After Hiccup and Toothless were kidnapped by the Outcasts in We Are Family, Part 1, in Live and Let Fly he banned flying dragons to try to keep him safe. While Hiccup respected his father, he felt he had to go behind his back in case Alvin attacked. The two later reconciled. In Frozen Hiccup was very concerned about Stoick being paralyzed by the Speed Stingers.

in Cast Out, Part 1 and Cast Out, Part 2, Hiccup is also shown to care for his father. Hiccup was very determined to rescue Stoick from Dagur's clutches when Stoick was taken hostage as a trade for Toothless. Hiccup was even willing to join forces with Berk's enemy, Alvin The Treacherous, just to save his father.

In Dragons: Race to the Edge,

In the second film, their relationship is strained again because Stoick has decided to make Hiccup the next Chief of Berk, but Hiccup is reluctant to take the duties, avoids him and frequently rebels against Stoick in an attempt to prove he is a peacemaker and on the other hand become frustrated with this. it was restored after Hiccup found Valka, the two work together against Drago Bludvist. When Hiccup is threatened by Toothless, who was hypnotized by Drago's Bewilderbeast  ordered to kill Hiccup, Stoick runs to Hiccup's aid and pushes him out of the way right before Toothless fires a plasma bolt, killing Stoick. Hiccup is devastated, to the point that he yells at Toothless when he resurfaces, even though it wasn't his fault. Afterwards he shoot a flaming arrow as his funeral along his friends and mother.

After Stoick's funeral, Hiccup says he was afraid of becoming chief because he didn't know how to live up to Stoick's job, showing that he had a great deal of respect for his father and what he did. He then decides to continue his father's legacy and becomes Chief of Berk to honor him and not let him die in vain. all the problems that they have with each other, Hiccup and Stoick are shown to love each other very much and are willing to sacrifice their own happiness and lives for the sake of the other.

Valka
"All this time, you took after me. And where was I? I'm so sorry, Hiccup. Can we start over? Will you give me another chance?"

- Valka, eager to reconnect with Hiccup



Valka is Hiccup's mother. She was believed to be dead for twenty years and that she was taken and eaten by dragons. She was taken when Hiccup was just a baby, so he hardly knew anything about her. In the film, Hiccup was given a helmet made from her old armor. While though he found it awkward at first, it is very important to him, as seen in Gift of the Night Fury. In Breakneck Bog, Hiccup is willing to face extreme danger, and a possible Fog Monster, to retrieve a lost gift from his mother. In How to Train Your Dragon 2, Hiccup not only reunites with his mother, but learns she has been living with, and rescuing dragons. Throughout the second film, she helped him discovering his identity as a Viking who turned away from fighting dragons like her, and a leader. In the end, Valka stays with him on Berk and celebrated along with Gobber, Astrid and the rest of the villagers her son's coronation as Chief of Berk. like his father, Hiccup is shown to love his mother very much and like her to be in his life again and Valka is willingly to sacrifice her happiness for the sake of his.

Astrid Hofferson
"I can't imagine a world without you in it either."

- Astrid

Astrid is Hiccup's closest human friend and love interest in the film franchise. At first, she is unimpressed by his inability to stay focused, and often rebuffs his efforts to speak to her. Although she doesn't make fun of him like the other Viking teens, she appears to think him careless and irresponsible. Unlike her peers, Astrid doesn't fawn over Hiccup for his growing success in Dragon Training or for his popularity. Instead, she becomes jealous of him gaining the upper hand. After losing her victory to Hiccup, Astrid follows him into the forest for a final confrontation. She is furious with him but the moment she spots Toothless, her first instincts are to protect Hiccup. She tells him to make an escape while she intends to keep the Night Fury distracted. When Hiccup ends up revealing his friendship with Toothless, Astrid is appalled and runs off to tell on him, but is snatched off the ground midway.

After Hiccup convinces her to give him a chance to explain, Toothless takes her for a spin during which she holds on to Hiccup in fear until she apologizes and Toothless flattens out his wings. Once the flight turns more harmonious, Astrid is able to regard dragons from Hiccup's perspective and expand her mindset. She also grows a greater respect for Hiccup when he shows his adamancy in protecting Toothless, refusing to tell the other Vikings about their trip to the Dragons' Nest and his friendship with the Night Fury out of fear that they would take drastic action against the dragons and kill Toothless. Astrid later tries to help Hiccup during his Dragon Training final exam when the Monstrous Nightmare attacks him by distracting it and later holds Hiccup back so that he doesn't get hurt when the Vikings overpower Toothless.



Astrid comforts Hiccup and inspires him to round up the other Viking teens to help him with his plan to save the villagers from the Red Death shortly after they depart for the Nest. When Hiccup is believed to be dead, where as everyone else hangs their heads in shame she's brought to tears obviously mourning the loss of her friend (and potentially mutual love interest) meaning she took it the hardest. She finalizes her feelings for him at the end of the film when she kisses him on the lips, implying that the two may have some sort of romantic relationship (emphasized in Gift of the Night Fury where she kisses him again and gives him a hug, and he calls her "Milady"). However, outside of these situations and despite this mutual attraction, in Dragons: Riders of Berk it's shown that they do not consider themselves to be in any official relationship, often shying away from each other (such as separating after finding themselves holding each other, or scooting away when others point out how close they are sitting together). Nevertheless, the two still have a very close and trusting relationship, Astrid being Hiccup's best friend after Toothless, regularly confide in each other and are usually the first to volunteer aid to each other.

In Thawfest, Astrid is especially disappointed and upset by Hiccup's new-found arrogance and unpleasantness as he scores more points against Snotlout during the Thawfest Games, and admits to Hiccup being a gracious loser is a thing she's always liked about him. When Hiccup repents his behavior by throwing the race, Astrid is all too happy to have the old Hiccup back and kisses him which happens to be the only time in the TV series that they kiss. She continues to aid Hiccup as his second in command at the Dragon Academy, with the pair of them acting as the "straight men" against the bickering, neuroses and dysfunction of the other teens. In Dragons: Defenders of Berk, Hiccup gives Astrid more responsibility by allowing her to creating training missions for the Dragon Academy/Flight Club. In Fright of Passage, Hiccup tells Astrid that training dragons isn't the only thing that he thinks about. After Astrid said "Are you actually saying that to me with a straight face?", it was made official. Later in Cast Out, Part 1, during practice, Hiccup gets mad at Snotlout for, not only disobeying him again, but nearly getting Astrid killed in the process and suspends him. This shows that he truly cares for Astrid and will do anything to defend her.

Despite there being no direct confirmation, in Race to the Edge, that Hiccup and Astrid are a couple, their relationship is shown to be closer and stronger.

There are several instances which point to the complex relationship that has develop between the two to this point and establishes a theme that carries through the entire series. When they first land on Dragon's Edge and Hiccup takes charge of having them set up the camp Snotlout complains about liking "whiney Berk Hiccup" more than "Princess outpost Hiccup" to which Astrid replies, "I know, right?" before giving Hiccup a secret double thumbs up. Then the next day when everyone is pushing their ideas for the outpost Astrid smiles when Hiccup states that they need one idea, as if she fully expects Hiccup to choose her design and then gets upset when Hiccup states that everyone else's ideas are good. However, what is perhaps the most telling is the layout that Hiccup chooses for Dragon's Edge. Hiccup placed his hut right next to Astrid's hut and they are closer together than any of the other huts.(When Darkness Falls)

In Have Dragon Will Travel, Part 2 Heather asks Astrid if she and Hiccup are a couple. First, Astrid panics and throws her axe into the top of a tree. Then she adamantly states the two are just friends, though appears a little nervous on the matter, and it is clear that Heather doesn't buy her denials. Also, when Heather states that Hiccup is kind of cute Astrid smiles and says, "I guess. If you like that unassuming, heroic, dragon rider type." Then at the end, Hiccup feels sorry for Astrid losing a friend, knowing the two got really close. Astrid then puts her arm around Hiccup and states, "But I still have you."

In Team Astrid, after Astrid's home was destroyed by Dagur, Hiccup joined her in camping out at the Dragon Academy, with the others soon joining in. While he was against Astrid decision to stay on Berk, he let her when she said she wanted to train new dragon riders. After watching Astrid train them, very harshly, Hiccup realized her anterior motive to stayt was so she could protect her family, despite her protest. Though instead of confronting Astrid on the matter, Hiccup left to give her time to think. Astrid later decided to return to Dragon's Edge, which made Hiccup happy.

In Night of the Hunters, Part 1, when Astrid hadn't returned, Hiccup and the others went out to find her, despite Fishlegs belief she was alright. Hiccup found Astrid stranded in the ocean on a piece of drifted wood and jumped in to save her from drowning. Seeing she was alright, Hiccup embraced her with relief. After explaining Stormfly was captured by Dragon Hunters, Hiccup tried to keep Astrid calm by assuring her they would find her dragon. During their rescue attempt, Astrid was captured as well, along with all the other Riders except for himself and Snotlout. Though not wanting to leave them, the two were forced to retreat.

In Snow Way Out, when Hiccup found out that Astrid had kept the secret of Heather spying on the Dragon Hunters, he was visibly hurt. Although once he found out about their true leader, Viggo Grimborn, he appeared to put the matter aside, though still slightly frustrated by the secrecy.

By the time of Maces and Talons, Part 1, Astrid wanted to pull Heather out, though Hiccup reassured her that their friend would be alright. The two stared at each other smiling before Snotlout and Tuffnut ruined the moment.

In the episode Buffalord Soldier, Astrid became deadly ill with a disease called "The Scourge of Odin" and even before he knew she was sick, Hiccup was very concerned, but much worse when Stormfly was acting panicked. He paced around the floor as Fishlegs searched for a cure, and caught Astrid before she fell to the ground, concern etched in his face. While bringing her to the Buffalord, he shushed her softly, held her hand, and begged her to stay alive a little longer, for him, confessing he couldn't imagine a world without her (the most romantic thing he's said so far in the show) before starting to panic when the clear Buffalord saliva did not cure her. When Viggo arrived to take the dragon, Hiccup begged him to let them have the cure, claiming he would not leave without it, showing he will do anything to save Astrid's life. Finally getting the green solution, he urged her to drink, before helping her up as color came to her face. After the Viking funeral for the fishing boat where she got sick, Astrid thanks him for saving her, which he tells her that she would have done the same for him, before she too confesses she couldn't imagine a life without him, both smiling.



By the time of the sequel, Astrid and Hiccup are an official couple, boyfriend/girlfriend or possibly betrothed. She even teases him in an affectionate manner by playfully punching his calibrator for the flight suit, and calls him babe when they are fighting Drago's army. They are comfortable sitting very close to each other, as opposed to in Animal House when they nervously moved away from each other. They are even so close that Astrid casually braids Hiccup's hair. Astrid is the only one Hiccup confides in about his doubts about becoming Chief of Berk and is often talking to her about how his father keeps on pressuring him to take his place. Although she excited for him at first, claiming it is the highest honor e could ever receive, she understands her boyfriend's concern, comforting him about his doubts and says what he's searching for isn't in the places he explores but what's inside him.

Hiccup and Astrid both make the discovery of the destroyed base of Eret, Son of Eret and Hiccup saves Astrid after she falls off of Stormfly (who was caught in a net by Eret's men). After they land, he stands protectively in front of her when they confront Eret. When Hiccup decides to go back out to the ship despite his father's orders, she is quick to follow even though she is performing mutiny against Stoick and heads off towards Eret's ship with him so that he can take them to Drago to change his mind about dragons. During that time, he jokingly throws a net over Astrid and leads her tenderly yet sternly towards the prison cell on the ship so that she wouldn't harm anyone on the ship with her axe. Astrid later tries to follow him when he goes off to search for Drago himself, but is stopped by Stoick and is ordered to lead the others back to Berk since he had enough mutiny for one day.

Later, when Hiccup and Stoick fail to show up, Astrid leads the other Dragon Riders on a hunt to find them, Astrid being the most concerned. After they are captured by Drago Bludvist, Astrid says that Hiccup will come and rescue them, bragging about Hiccup's role as the Dragon Master and of Toothless, not realizing Drago is now going to come after Berk as well. When Astrid finally reunites with Hiccup on the back of Stormfly with Eret, she get's introduced to Valka and is surprised that she's alive and Hiccup jokes to her about how that's where he got his dramatic flair. After Stoick is killed, Astrid rushes to Hiccup's side and holds him tenderly in her arms as they mourn the loss of his father and the Chief of Berk. Hiccup later on leads the shooting of the flaming arrows during Stoick's Viking funeral and Astrid, along with the other Dragon Riders, Valka, Eret, and Gobber all follow his lead.



Astrid is later looking at Hiccup proudly as he takes on his new role as Chief of Berk and follows his lead back to Berk on the backs of the baby dragons. After Hiccup and Toothless defeat the evil Alpha Bewilderbeast and Drago, Astrid teasingly pokes at his flight suit calibrator and says that he found what he was searching for, making both of them laugh and Hiccup finally kisses Astrid, pulling her close and gazing at her affectionately after they break apart from their embrace. Astrid later celebrates Hiccup's coronation as Chief of Berk and is seen by his side smiling proudly as the whole isle of Berk celebrates Hiccup's role as Chief. At the end of the sequel, Astrid is seen in the Dragon Races competing against the other Riders. She playfully hits his back as she flies by him while he is making repairs, to which he smiles mischievously and shakes his head at her, leaving the repairs to intervene the race by taking the Black Sheep at the last second and throwing it into her basket for her.

An act that was seen performed by Snotlout and Fishlegs while they competed for Ruffnut's affection, so it shows that Hiccup simply stepped in to help out his lady against the other Riders as well. By the end of the film near the credits, Astrid and Stormfly are seen right next to Hiccup and Toothless as they stand on the pedestal overlooking the concluded games and Astrid's victory. He seems to make Astrid smile in the end no matter how many fights or misunderstandings they get in.

In the How To Train Your Dragon 3 cast listing she is referred to as "Hiccup's girlfriend and future wife" hinting a possible wedding in the third film.

Cloudjumper
Hiccup and Cloudjumper met each other when Hiccup was a baby. During the dragon raids on Berk, Cloudjumper broke into their house. His mother Valka saw this and tried to save him, but Cloudjumper was not harming him, in fact playing with him. However, he accidentally scratched Hiccup and attacked his father. As a result, Valka was taken by him, leaving Hiccup motherless for 20 years, while Valka on the other hand decided to stay with Cloudjumper fearing that she might harm Hiccup and Stoick or worse. Years later, they meet again along with his mother. Although they do not recognize each other, they do become close by their mutual love for Valka and Hiccup does not hold a grudge against him, At the end of the movie, Cloudjumper, along with the other dragons from the den celebrated Hiccup's coronation as Chief of Berk.

Gobber the Belch
Gobber is the blacksmith of the village, as well as a mentor, honorary uncle, and secondary father figure to Hiccup. Despite acting like all of his other students are expendable or simply paying little attention to their well-being, Gobber seems to have a soft spot for Hiccup. This is obscured, however, by the methods by which he goes about expressing his fondness of the boy. Though his intentions are good, Gobber often gives out comically bad advice that somehow just makes Hiccup feel worse. Most importantly, however, Gobber acts as the bridge of communication between Stoick and Hiccup, since the two seem to be unable to listen to one another otherwise. In fact, Gobber is the one who convinced Stoick to allow Hiccup to enroll in the Dragon Training classes, reminding the latter that he could not always hope to protect Hiccup; the best he could do was prepare him. At the end of the film, Gobber is the one who constructs a new prosthetic tail for Toothless and Hiccup's prosthetic leg.

The other important role Gobber filled was training Hiccup in leatherworking and as a blacksmith, which gave the imaginative teen an outlet for his mind along with practical design and fabrication skills. If an invention of Hiccup's fails, it's only because inexperience affected the design, never because of faulty parts, or that the parts were poorly crafted. Hiccup's innovation, improvement and engineering of his society's technology for his creations is often nothing short of sheer genius. At the end of How To Train Your Dragon 2, Gobber celebrated his coronation as Chief of Berk along with the other villagers.

Snotlout Jorgenson
"You crushed it today, Snotlout. You really did. This was all you."

- Hiccup proud of Snotlout in Crash Course



Hiccup and Snotlout are cousins in the books, though there are currently no indications of any familial relation in the movies. Snotlout's arrogance and bullying attitude makes Hiccup initially dislike him. Snotlout openly mocks Hiccup's claims and is always boosting up his own image by downplaying Hiccup's. When Hiccup grows more confident in their dragon training sessions, Snotlout begins to look up to him. He willingly aids Hiccup in the battle with the Red Death and wipes a tear of relief when discovering Hiccup is alive. Snotlout is also the first person Hiccup teaches to bond with a dragon.

Throughout the franchise, Snotlout preserves a cocky and obnoxious demeanor which Hiccup's finds unappealing but tolerates. While their rivalry is still ongoing, Snotlout grows to respect and care for Hiccup. He recognizes Hiccup as the leader and usually follows his directions, although he may make complaints and act obtuse on purpose. In Cast Out, Part 2, Hiccup also acknowledges Snotlout's efforts, and the two of them officially become friends. By the time of Race to the Edge, they have forged a close and easygoing relationship. In The Zippleback Experience Snotlout provokes Hiccup into punching him but it's good intentioned as he is trying to help Hiccup rid of Barf and Belch in his own way.

Another defining moment is at the end of Crash Course when Hiccup tells Snotlout he is proud of him. It shows that the respect between is mutual.

In How To Train Your Dragon 2, Snotlout celebrates Hiccup's coronation as Chief of Berk along with the other villagers.

Fishlegs Ingerman
"Yeah, but he usually geeks out with me."

- Hiccup about Fishlegs in Follow the Leader

Overall, Fishlegs gets along fairly well with Hiccup and shares his passion for dragons and dragon knowledge. He is Hiccup's best friend in the books, although not nearly as close to him in the franchise.

Fishlegs starts out as a mere acquaintance of Hiccup in the first movie. Being the odd ones out, they are often partnered up together during dragon training but are rather indifferent toward one another. While Fishlegs never speaks ill of Hiccup or expresses any direct dislike toward him, he appears to be someone that goes along with the flow. In the beginning, he is seen laughing at Hiccup being ridiculed by Snotlout and the twins, and later on after Hiccup gains popularity, Fishlegs starts to support him along with everyone else. Their friendship grows less superficial with time, and both show great care and support for each other especially during shortcomings and victories. They never become as close as they were in the books though. Hiccup is much, much more close to Astrid.

Hiccup admires Fishlegs' love for knowledge and often looks to him for facts and information on new dragons. He is also appreciative of his ability to apply logic to foreign situations and views him as one of the most sensible in their friend gang. Whenever Fishlegs is acting overly emotional or feeling particularly vulnerable, Hiccup is quick to offer comfort and kind words. He is even slightly teasing towards Fishlegs when he is stuck in a tree and blames the crash on either a flaming squirrel or a flaming chipmunk. There are a few, rare instances such as in Quake, Rattle and Roll and Shock and Awe where Fishlegs and Hiccup clash and disagree. Fishlegs might also spurt out information in a very unhelpful or annoying way which will cause Hiccup to be openly frustrated with him. They usually are able to cooperate and settle their differences.

In Follow the Leader, it is revealed how highly Fishlegs regards Hiccup as a leader, and how much he hates the idea of disappointing him.

At the end of How To Train Your Dragon 2, Fishlegs celebrated his coronation as Chief of Berk along with the other villagers.

Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston


Hiccup starts off at odds with Ruffnut and Tuffnut but manages to gain their respect over the course of the franchise. They show very little empathy to him in the beginning, even joining in on Snotlout's ridiculing. When Hiccup appears to be excelling in Dragon Training, however, they start to appreciate him. Ruffnut even develops a one-sided crush on him. As Hiccup sets off to fight the Red Death, they are quick to tag along, and in the aftermath of the battle, they are just as relieved as everyone else to see him making it out alive.

In the earlier seasons of the show, Hiccup often finds himself annoyed by the twins' antics and love for destruction and chaos. It takes some while, but their reckless and erratic way of thinking gradually begins to align with Hiccup's as they grow older. He slowly starts to see their benefit and acknowledges them as valuable members of the team. Hiccup has, however, always cared for Ruffnut and Tuffnut as individuals. There are even times he acts as their parent and goes to great lengths to ensure their safety such as in A View to a Skrill, Part 2 when he spent all night searching for them.

Hiccup's dynamic with the twins shifts and changes by the time of Race to the Edge. Ruffnut and Tuffnut start to regard him with deep respect, viewing him as their ultimate leader and as someone personally important to them. They also grow very touchy-feely with Hiccup, treating him in the same manner as they usually act toward one another. In A Time to Skrill, Tuffnut mentions that he has a painting of Hiccup hanging above his bed.

Their interactions with Hiccup are limited in the sequel, but they were shown to be celebrating Hiccup's coronation as Chief of Berk along with the other villagers.

Heather
"Heather, you're one of us now. A Dragon Rider."

- Hiccup in To Heather or Not to Heather.

Hiccup was welcoming and friendly toward Heather on Riders of Berk and initially discards Astrid's suspicions. In Heather Report, Part 2, after realizing Heather has stolen the Book of Dragons and Stormfly, he feels regretful for trusting a stranger over his close friend. He and the other riders are back on good terms with Heather again once she reasons her actions and helps them defeat Alvin. In Have Dragon Will Travel, Part 1, unlike the rest of the riders, Hiccup is put off by Heather's dramatic change. He attempts to question her on her attacks but Heather is adamant to stay mum. Hiccup eventually learns of her intentions from Trader Johann and after saving her from Dagur, voices his sympathies for her loss.

In Have Dragon Will Travel, Part 2, when getting a closer look at Heather's horn, Hiccup recognizes Stoick's seal on it, and briefly wonders if Heather is his sister. He confronts his father about it, and learns that the horn was a gift to Oswald the Agreeable for his newborn daughter, making Heather Dagur's sister.

in Snow Way Out, when it appears Heather has betrayed them again, Hiccup is willing to take her down as well. However, Astrid reveals that Heather is actually spying on the Hunters. While Hiccup is initially against it, Astrid convinces him to let Heather continue her mission to draw out Viggo. In Maces and Talons, Part 2, Hiccup ends up feeling somewhat responsible for Heather's capture and attempts to prevent her execution.

in To Heather or Not to Heather, Hiccup tries helping Heather train Windshear after she joins them on the Edge. He is disappointed when it proves to be unsuccessful. Though thanks to Fishlegs, they eventually manage to integrate Windshear. In Family on the Edge, when Dagur shows up on Dragon's Edge, Hiccup keeps his promise and doesn't let him know of Heather's presence. Ever the diplomat, he even tries to reason with her about Dagur's change. After Dagur's sacrifice, Hiccup notes that Heather has finally accepted Dagur as her brother.

In Dagur's letter to Heather, Hiccup is referred to as Dagur and Heather's little brother. This implies that Heather is older than Hiccup.

Eret, Son of Eret
"That was some pretty fine dragon wrangling back there. You'd make a good trapper."

- Eret's remarks to Hiccup subsequent to the battle with the Bewilderbeast.

Eret appeared in How To Train Your Dragon 2. Hiccup and Eret were initially in conflict as Eret attempted to trap dragons for Drago as opposed to Hiccup's respect for them. However, after Eret saw that he was wrong about dragons, he helped the Dragon Riders return to Berk to face Drago, with Hiccup suggesting that Eret take on Stoick's dragon, Skullcrusher following Stoick's death so that Skullcrusher will still have a rider recognizing that Eret can be trusted and become friends with him. Along with Valka, Gobber, Astrid and the rest of the village, Eret celebrated Hiccup's coronation as Chief of Berk.

Unlike Hiccup's other opponents, Eret seemed to respect him for the get-go. He never once mocked or underestimated Hiccup because of his untraditional appearance.

Alvin the Treacherous


In the series, Alvin clearly has some sort of history with Hiccup's father, and recognizes Hiccup as "Stoick's little embarrassment" and "Stoick's little runt". Hiccup at first outsmarts Alvin into taking him to Dragon Island. It is there that Alvin realizes that Hiccup is a Master Dragon Trainer. Alvin then begins to try to train dragons of his own, but he fully realizes that to do so, he will need Hiccup. He abducts him several times throughout the series. Hiccup is usually sarcastic around Alvin which annoys the Outcast Chief considerably. This sarcasm displays an amount of contempt for the bloodthirsty Chief. Hiccup and Alvin both clearly underestimate each other. Hiccup was completely fooled by Alvin's plot to lure him to the Isle of Night, and Alvin has many times watched helplessly as the "90-pound boy repeatedly defeats an army of blood-thirsty savages."

Alvin is Hiccup's main enemy in the television series, and he is one of the few characters that Hiccup has openly ordered Toothless to finish off. The animosity between the two of them has grown and grown as Hiccup has escaped Alvin and Alvin has nearly destroyed things that Hiccup cares deeply about. Alvin has notably targeted Astrid, and this has served to fuel the fire of the rivalry. Then Alvin discovered he could use Hiccup's love for Toothless to get at him, and this seemed to be the final straw. When Hiccup finally escaped, he and Toothless made a diving attack at Alvin and would have most likely killed him if they had not been downed by bolas. It is rare for Hiccup to be so determined to kill an enemy, but Alvin has given him good reasons to reach such decisions. In Defenders Of Berk, by the end of the season, in Cast Out, Part 1, Alvin claims that he is trying to change and in Cast Out, Part 2 helped Hiccup to defeat Dagur and rescue Stoick from Outcast Island. Hiccup and Alvin become allies at the end of the season.

Mildew


Mildew and Hiccup are certainly not on any sort of good terms in the series. Mildew kicks off their rivalry by intentionally trying to get rid of the dragons. Mildew highly dislikes Hiccup because Hiccup has changed Berk, and because of this Mildew's animosity towards the dragons has stretched out to incorporate Hiccup as well. He intentionally makes Hiccup look as bad as possible in the eyes of the villagers and often attacks Hiccup's emotions through cruel guilt trips and accusations. This has lead to Hiccup highly disliking the old man. He never necessarily wishes harm upon the cantankerous old man, but when Mildew does get what is coming to him, Hiccup does seem to slightly enjoy it. Mildew tricks Hiccup into going into an Outcast trap, and this makes Hiccup even more angry with the old man.

However, Hiccup does eventually pity Mildew when he sees him imprisoned, and Mildew convinces Hiccup to let him out of an Outcast cell. Hiccup is then fully willing to help the old man, and even tries to get him to bond with the dragons with some success. Unfortunately, it is all a trick, and Mildew winds up betraying Hiccup once again. Hiccup is unaware of this final betrayal, so he does try and rescue Mildew, but his father tells him that there is no way to help him. Hiccup currently does not necessarily like Mildew's company, but due his ignorance of Mildew's second betrayal, Hiccup has forgiven him. It appears in Worst in Show that Hiccup appears to know of Mildew's betrayal as he probably ordered Ruff and Tuff to send Butt and Head to head-butt Mildew. Hiccup also called Mildew a traitor in Cast Out, Part 2, further proving this point but in the end, Mildew helped Alvin save Hiccup, Toothless, and Stoick from Dagur and got the Berserkers off. It is possible Mildew has returned to Berk and became an ally.

Dagur the Deranged


Hiccup and Dagur have known each other for a long time, usually meeting with their tribes' treaty signing. Dagur often acts like a pesky older brother, using Hiccup as a knife throwing target or trying to drown him. Hiccup describes him as a "lunatic kid" and was not happy to learn he was the new Berserker Chief. Dagur confronted Hiccup about the Red Death and trained dragon rumors he heard about, only for Hiccup to deny them. The Dragon Trainers staged a dragon attack to save Barf and Belch, and the Berserkers retreated. Hiccup later met up with Dagur again in The Night and the Fury on Dragon Island. Dagur was happy to see Hiccup alive after the "attack" and kept going on about how he faced a Night Fury. Dagur then decides the two of them will hunt down the dragon together. He even starts calling Hiccup "brother," which he finds awkward. Dagur points out he and Hiccup are a lot alike: both are born leaders, sons of chiefs, and have fathers that had to be eliminated; the last one Hiccup quickly disagrees with. When Dagur learns that the truth about Berk's dragons, he feels betrayed and attacks Hiccup and Toothless. Hiccup beats Dagur, and he and he others head back to Berk, as they need to be ready when Dagur returns. After being defeated and telling the Berserker armada, Dagur tells them no one is to hurt Hiccup, except him, after he gets his dragon. Throughout the whole season, Dagur has constantly been trying to capture Hiccup and Toothless. Hiccup hated Dagur even more than he did before when he took his father, Stoick as hostage to trade for Toothless. In the end, Dagur was put in jail until he escaped three years later, and Dagur continued his quest for revenge on Hiccup and Toothless.

Despite Hiccup's own animosity for Dagur, he did not let Heather kill him when he found out the Berserker was her brother.

Hiccup's relationship with Dagur took a new turn after the first ordeal with Viggo Grimborn. In Enemy of My Enemy, he was surprised that Dagur was trying to help him and Toothless escape the Dragon Hunters, but he still didn't trust him. With no choice, Hiccup worked with Dagur to collect the ingredients needed to cure Toothless who had been hit by the Hunters arrows. When the potion caused Toothless to spasm and collapse, Hiccup attacked Dagur and even threatened to kill him. The two were soon captured by the Hunters, and while Dagur managed to escape he left Hiccup behind. This left Hiccup shouting that he hated the Berserker. However, Dagur came back with Toothless and save him. This left Hiccup wondering if Dagur really wanted to change.

Dagur showed up in Hiccup's hut asking him to teach him to ride a dragons he could find his sister. Hiccup agreed, hoping to get rid of him since Heather was on Dragon's Edge. Before that, he spoke to the Riders about the possibility Dagur was trying to change, though none of them were convinced, especially Heather. in Family on the Edge, Hiccup began to teach Dagur to ride a Gronckle, though it was still a trial. When the others found Dagur, Hiccup explained how Dagur had saved him. He admitted to Astrid he was still unsure about him, but Toothless let Dagur ride him. When Dagur found out about the Riders' plan to attack Viggo's fleet, he told them it was a trap. But the others' beliefs led Hiccup to trust his friends over Dagur and had him and his dragon locked up. Dagur managed to escape and proved it was a trap, which cost him his life.

After Dagur's death, Hiccup felt guilty for not believing him.

Drago Bludvist
"You surely are hard to get rid of, I'll say that."

- Drago to Hiccup.



Drago Bludvist has an army of dragons and wants to rule the world, which means that this character will probably be the worst enemy Hiccup will ever meet. They are alike and different in many ways. Like Hiccup, he lost his left arm to a dragon, grew up fearing them but proved to have a talent for controlling them, and also possessed a great deal of mechanical inventive genius (as evidenced by his dragon traps). Unlike Hiccup, his fear transformed not into understanding but an obsessive need to dominate everything around him so he would never feel powerless again, and dragons were the ideal tool to do this with once he realized he could dominate them with sheer will and intimidation. The comparison goes further with their specific amputations and methods of how they each tame dragons. Hiccup lost his leg, and his method of taming a dragon involves calmly and peacefully placing his hand on the dragon's face. Drago on the other hand lost his arm, and his method involves shouting wildly and stepping cruelly upon on a dragon's snout. In the end, Drago was defeated and Hiccup finally got his revenge on his father's true murderer.

Viggo Grimborn
"Astrid, this guy isn't messing around... Our dragons may not be enough. We're going to have to out think this guy, outsmart him somehow."

- Hiccup after Viggo and the Hunters capture Heather, Windshear, and the Flightmare



Viggo is one of the few people capable of outsmarting Hiccup. In Maces and Talons, Part 1, when the Dragon Riders first planned to take down the Dragon Hunters, and failed, leading to Heather, Windshear, and the Flightmare's capture, Hiccup realized right away that Viggo was able to manipulate them to his advantage, even giving the Hunters time to search the Edge for the Dragon Eye. When Viggo planted the game Maces and Talons on his ship, Hiccup decided to play by Viggo's rules. In Maces and Talons, Part 2, the two finally met when Hiccup went to rescue Heather. After Viggo managed to get the Dragon Eye, this left Hiccup extremely frustrated, screaming from the loss.

After this, Hiccup's personality took a more serious turn as he was determined to find Viggo and get the Dragon Eye back The other Riders noticed this obsession as well, which included recon flights alone (Enemy of My Enemy) and overworking the dragons for defenses (A Grim Retreat). Hiccup begins to realize this and tries to take it easy after months have passed since his first encounter with the Dragon Hunter leader. However, in Buffalord Soldier, when the two met up again, during a mission to save Astrid's life, Hiccup's focus goes back on trying to stop Viggo.

Hiccup does not show the same level of confidence when facing Viggo as he has with previous enemies, hardly ever making snappy comebacks. This could be due to the Hunter constantly outsmarting and manipulating him.

Ryker Grimborn
Hiccup originally believed Ryker was the head of the Dragon Hunters. While Hiccup first met Ryker face to face in The Zippleback Experience, the two confronted each other. It was later in that episode Hiccup found out it was Viggo who was the real leader. Hiccup's tactics usually stops Ryker's plots to get the Dragon Eye

But as shown in the second movie, Hiccup's hair is braided by Astrid when they're officially a couple. As Race to the Edge takes place before the second movie, Hiccup's hair should not have those two braids.

How To Train Your Dragon
"This is Berk. It's twelve days North of hopeless, and a few degrees South of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village. In a word, sturdy. It's been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see most places have mice, or mosquitoes, we have . . . dragons."

"My name's Hiccup. Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. Like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that."

"That's Stoick the Vast, chief of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby, he popped a dragon's head clean off of its shoulders. Do I believe it? Yes, I do."

"Who, me? Nah, come on. I'm waaaay too muscular for their taste. They wouldn't know what to do with all this."

"The meat head with attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice ever since I was little. Well, littler."

"Ah, come on. Let me out, please? I need to make my mark!"

"Please, two minutes. I'll kill a dragon. My life will get infinitely better. I might even get a date."

"You sir, are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much raw . . . Viking-ness . . . contained?! THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!"

"One day, I'll get out there. Because, killing a dragon is everything around here."

"A Nadder head is sure to get me at least noticed. Gronckles are tough. Taking down one of those would definitely get me a girlfriend. A Zippleback? Exotic. Two heads, twice the status. Then, there's the Monstrous Nightmare. Only the best Vikings go after those. They have this nasty habit of setting themselves on fire."

"No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm going to be the first."

"Oh, I hit it! YES, I HIT IT! Did anybody see that?!"

"Well, between you and me, the village could do with a little less feeding, don't you think?"

"I really did hit one. He never listens. A-And when he does, it's always with this . . . disappointed scowl, like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich."

"[Imitating Stoick] Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you've brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered an extra-large boy with beefy arms! Extra guts and glory on the side! This here, this is a talking fish-bone!"

"[sarcastically] Thank you for summing that up."

"I just wanna be one of you guys."

"Oh, the gods hate me. Some people lose their knife, or their mug. No, not me. I manage to lose an ENTIRE DRAGON?!"

"I'm gonna kill you, dragon. Then I-I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a Viking. I AM A VIKING!"

"I've decided I don't want to fight dragons."

"Oh, man! I should've gone first! 'Cause I was thinking, you know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough . . . Bread-making Vikings? Or small-home-repair Vikings?"

"I don't wanna fight dragons."

"You just gestured to all of me."

"This conversation is feeling very one-sided."

"And I'll be here . . . maybe."

"[sarcastically] "Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain, love it."

"So, I guess it's just you and me, huh?"

"Toothless? I could've sworn you had . . . teeth."

"Everything we know about you guys is wrong."

"Uh, you're right, you're right, you're right. I'm through with the lies. I've been making . . . outfits. So, you got me. It's time everyone knew. Drag me back. Go ahead. Here we go."

"OW! Why would you DO that?!"

"Da da-da, we're dead!"

"TOOTHLESS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! BAD DRAGON!"

"Toothless, what are you doing?! We need her to like us!"

"And now the spinning. Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile."

"No, no. Not yet. They'll kill Toothless. Astrid, we need to think this through, carefully."

"Astrid, if something goes wrong, just make sure they don't find Toothless."

"I'm not one of them."

"They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them."

"And we've killed thousands of them! They defend themselves, that's all!"

"Dad, no! FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME!"

"Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? It would've been better for everyone."

"Oh, for the love of . . . I was a coward. I was weak. I wouldn't kill a dragon!"

"Okay, WHATEVER! I WOULDN'T! Three hundred years, and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon!"

"I wouldn't kill him, because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him . . . and I saw myself."

"Hold, Toothless. NOW!!!"

"I'm . . . in my house. Uh, you're in my house! Does my Dad know you're in here?!"

"What, is it always going to be this way? 'Cause . . . [Astrid kisses him] . . . I could get used to it."

"This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies, or parrots, we have . . . dragons!"

Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon
"Alright, Vikings. Grab your shields!"

"Hey, it could happen."

"Gobber, take off your pants!"

"GIVE HIM BACK HIS BONE!"

"[after Gobber's pants fall down, revealing his gross underwear] Ugh. Well, that's gonna give me nightmares."

Gift of the Night Fury
"Well, good morning, Mr. Bossy."

"Thank you, Milady."

"Oh, Fishlegs, you hungry? You got enough fish there to feed a dragon!"

"I HAVE NO IDEA!!!"

"I think I just started the return migration."

"Bad dragon. Very bad dragon. You scared me to death! Don't ever stay away that long again, and what is in your mouth?"

"Buddy, thank you. You are amazing!"

"That year I gave my best friend a pretty great gift. But he gave me a better one!"

Dragons: Riders of Berk (Season 1)
"This is Berk. For generations, it was Viking against dragon. The battles were ferocious. Then one day, everything changed. I met Toothless, and together, we've shown people here that instead of fighting dragons, we can ride them, live with them, even train them."

Dragons: Defenders of Berk (Season 2)
"Of course not. I would never call my father ridiculous. I'm calling my Chief ridiculous."

"If Alvin learns how to train his dragons, and he attacks with them, our only chance is to fight back with ours."

"But the problem is the safest place for me is on Toothless."

"Actually, no. This is the part I tell you my dad is wrong."

"The first rule of Dragon Flight Club is that there IS no Dragon Flight Club."

"Dad, it's me! Please don't chop me."

"ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!"

"I just feel really awkward."

"And the awkwardness continues . .."

"That sounds more like a wild yak to me." [Snotlout shows up] "Eh, close enough."

"We have the dragons, and we're not afraid to use them."

"Now, let's shine a little light on this situation."

"Rule number one: never forget a dragon's weakness."

"I'm saying I don't think we've seen the last of the Screaming Death."

"Wow, you sound just like Alvin!"

"Astrid. So predictable."

"Well, you know, Astrid, training dragons isn't the only thing I think about."

"Well, that just instills me with confidence . .."

"How about I go first, especially since I don't care if I win or not because this is not about winning or losing."

"It is not a competition!"

"I have to say that the beaches are a bit of a disappointment."

"THE SCREAMING DEATH!"

"Come on, you love shiny things! Or at least, you used to . .."

"So, it's getting bigger and smarter; not the greatest combination."

"You know what they say. Where there's fire, there's the twins."

"How many times has this kid been hit by lightning?!"

"[The Skrill blasts at Hiccup] Oh, that one made my hair stand up! We need a plan, and fast."

"Snotlout, the five signposts of Valhalla is noting but an old wives' tale."

"While we're gone, try not to take anyone else with you to 'eternal paradise'."

"I don't sound like that! And, p.s., my leg didn't 'fall off'."

"Weren't expecting the old metal leg, were you?"

"When am I not safe? . . . Uh, don't answer that!"

"What is this guy, like, the king of armadas? Does he go anywhere without one?"

"You almost got Astrid killed!"

"Don't worry, Dad. We're going to get you back, no matter what it takes."

"You're going to show me a way to Outcast Island. We're going there together, Alvin. We're going to bring my father home."

"[sarcastically] Oh, well, there's that warm, fuzzy feeling I was looking for."

"Did not see that coming, did you?"

"Sometimes reckless . . . can be courageous. Your suspension is, well, suspended."

"If the last few days are any indication of what it's like to be Chief, I'd just as soon leave that to you."

"This is Berk, we've got ice, and snow, and we've got more ice, but we've also got dragons. We train them, learn from them . . . protect them, and they protect us, sometimes from each other. One thing is for sure, we wouldn't trade this for anything. Would you?"

Dawn of the Dragon Racers
"That sheep is a maniac!"

"That sheep is insane!"

"Ah, yes. Just another, another day on Berk."

"I'm excited! Yeah, no, I love setting up stands, and putting up banners, and getting everyone fired up to watch boats sail sloooowly across the harbor."

"Oh, really Astrid? Where's the love for the Acting Chief?!"

"Huh, so I guess technically it was Tuffnut who invented this sport. Which is disturbing."

"Okay, how about we ALL invented Dragon Racing! Can we just sat that?"

Dragons: Race to the Edge
"I've seriously got to get my own pair of wings!"

"One of the benefits of a metal leg, I suppose."

"Okay, so here's the plan—[Toothless blows up the door] I like yours better."

"Huh. Well, that wasn't too—[an axe lands right in front of him] GIANT AXE! TOOTHLESS, RUN!"

"This changes everything."

"Look at this! There are maps we've never seen, writing we can't read, dragons we don't recognized! It-it's incredible! This Dragon Eye, this is proof that there is a whole other world out there. A world that must be explored!"

"And this is only the beginning Astrid. Who knows what we'll find out here."

"I was thinking we could call it the Dragon's Edge."

"Toothless-Toothless, plasma blat!"

"OH! DAD! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! IT'S YOUR SON!"

"Hey, would you knock it off, bud? Okay? Snooping will not gain her trust. [Something falls out] Huh. Wait a minute! That's my dad's Chief seal!"

"Dad, is Heather my sister?"

"Hey, I know you guys got pretty close. I'm sorry you're losing a friend."

"Presenting the Dragonfly One!"

"And it's for moments like this I always carry a spare."

"Don't worry, bud. I always carry a spare for my spare."

"Astrid was right. You look like a psycho."

"We're suppose to be a team, Astrid."

"Look, there's really no moral ambiguity here. I messed up. I really messed up, and I'm not sure how to fix it."

"If we do this, we're no better than the Dragon Hunters. We're just using a different cage."

"Astrid, I let it happen. I put Heather and Windshear in that position, I risked the Dragon Eye being taken, I fell for Viggo's plan. It's a mess."

"C'mon bud! Work with me here, please!"

"Oh, oh! Astrid! He, he, hey, hey! So, what brings you here so early in the morning? You just go for a test flight with Stormfly? Yeah, well, same here with Toothless, though, of course, because Stormfly, that will be, you know..."

"And I have officially stepped into an alternate archipelago."

"Yeah, but he usually geeks out with me . .."

"We're gonna beat this, I promise you, Astrid. You just have to keep fighting . . . and hold on . .."

"You need to stay with us...I can't imagine a world without you in it."

"Hang in there Astrid. Just a little longer. Please. For me . .."

"Okay Viggo! Okay, you win. Take him, take the dragon, but leave us with what we came here for. The Scourge antidote. Buffalord saliva. I'm not leaving here without it! That's a loss I'm NOT willing to take!"

"What are you talking about? You fit in great. Besides, do you really want to do that to Fishlegs?"

"Remember this is way harder on him than it is on the rest of us. So cut him some slack."

"I just . . . never heard you call Dagur "brother" before . .."

How to Train Your Dragon 2
"This is Berk, the best-kept secret this side of, well, anywhere. Granted, it may not look like much, but this wet heap of rock packs more than a few surprises. Life here is amazing. Just not for the faint of heart. You see, where most folks enjoy hobbies like whittling or needlepoint, we Berkians prefer a little something we like to call . . . DRAGON RACING!"

"Now, dragons used to be a bit of a problem, but that was five years ago. Now they've all moved in! And really, why wouldn't they? We have custom stables, all-you-can-eat feeding stations, a full-service dragon wash, even top-of-the-line fire prevention, if I do say so, myself."

"Yep, Berk is pretty much perfect. All of my hard work has paid off. And it's a good thing too, because with Vikings on the backs of dragons, the world just got a whole lot bigger."

"What do you think, bud? You wanna give this another shot?" [Toothless gives an exasperated look.] "Toothless, it'll be fine!"

"This is amazing!" [about to glide-crash into a sea stack] "No longer amazing! TOOTHLESS"

"Oh, what? You want an apology? Is that why you're pouting, big baby-boo?"

"Well try this on! [hugs him, tries to wrestle with him] Oh, you feeling it yet? Huh? Picking up on all of my heartfelt remorse?"

"[playing with Toothless] He's down! Oh, and it's ugly! Dragons and Vikings, enemies again! Locked in combat to the bitter—[Toothless pins Hiccup]—AAHHHhhhh . .."

"[After Toothless licks him] You KNOW that doesn't wash out!"
