Hofferson's Bane

The Wild Flightmare is the flightmare that appeared in Defenders of Berk episode 6, Fright of Passage. It is the only known Flightmare in the franchise.

The wild Flightmare was the dragon that attacked Berk every 10 years. The Flightmare killed Fearless Finn Hofferson, despite him being completely fearless. Ten years after Fearless Finn Hofferson was killed, Hiccup, Toothless and Astrid went to go after the Flightmare to observe it and to find out why it was attacking Berk. When they first saw and encountered the Flightmare, Astrid jumped off Toothless and was ready to fight the dragon. Instead the Flightmare froze and paralyzed her with its paralyzing mist. Hiccup than knew that the mist was only temporally when the mist on Astrid wore off, unless the Flightmare struck its victim with a very powerful blast. They then followed the Flightmare till they found the reason why the Flightmare was attacking Berk. The Flightmare was following glowing algae, it's main food source, which had hundreds of tiny fish in it. While Hiccup was inspecting the algae, Toothless drank some of the glowing algae. When the Flightmare found out that another dragon was eating its food, it became really mad. Toothless' skin blends in perfectly with the night sky, but ever since he drank from the glowing river, his body started to light up. Where he cannot hide from the Flightmare. It than attacked Toothless. He dodged the attacks, than the glow wore off him. Later on Fishlegs, Meatlug and Stormfly came along as backup. Fishlegs than had a plan to stop the Flightmare. They had to cut a new channel for the river to go out to the sea. Later on, the confused Flightmare followed the flow of glowing algae on the sea.
