Grasshopper (Franchise)

As yet, Grasshoppers are only seen once in the game, School of Dragons.

Biology
Grasshoppers are six-legged insects found in the Order Orthoptera. They are known for their excellent "hopping" ability. Grasshoppers are herbivorous, and as such, can be a major pest to humans. Locusts are a type of grasshopper that sometimes swarm, and are considered a "plague" to humanity even in historic times. Grasshoppers occupy a lower niche in the food chain, and are preyed upon by invertebrates such as spiders, flies, and beetles, and vertebrates such as birds and reptiles.

Function
In the How to Train Your Dragon Franchise, Grasshoppers only appear for educational purposes.

In reality, grasshoppers are major agricultural pests. However, some cultures do eat them, and they have a good nutritional value (high protein, low fat).

School of Dragons
Grasshoppers appear in the maze activity called "Loki's Mirage". They appear as part of the Food Chain motif.
