Small Shadow

The Small Shadow is a dragon species that is first introduced in Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 4.

Official Description
"Watch the skies, Vikings! These diminutive dive-bombers retreat to their larger dragon cousin's wings when they feel overpowered! The Small Shadow might hunt in packs, but it's still a fearsome foe in 1-on-1 combat. It's agile, intelligent, and unerring in aim."

- Dragons: Rise of Berk

Physical Appearance
Small Shadows are medium-sized dragons with iridescent blue and purple scales and wings, as well as light undersides. They have round heads, triangular fin-like spines on their backs and tails, with long, black claws on their feet.

Behavior
Small Shadows are pack hunters that are highly intelligent. One dragon pretends to be injured to attract any potential victims while the rest wait to ambush. They have formed a symbiotic relationship with the much larger Shadow Wing. The Small Shadows serve the Shadow Wing, and the Shadow Wing protects the Small Shadows in return.

Agility
Small Shadows are very agile flyers with exceptional maneuverability.

Firepower


Small Shadows can shoot molten balls of orange lava that will explode like fireworks, and they can be very accurate in aiming their shots.

Intelligence
Small Shadows are highly intelligent dragons, especially when it comes to hunting. One individual pretends to be injured to attract any potential victims while the rest wait to ambush. They also know that other dragons cannot fly normally if they attach themselves onto their wings.

Speed
Small Shadows are very fast dragons, as they are able to catch up with a Night Fury in flight.

Wall Crawler
Able to climb any terrain wall as shown in the caves.
