Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

Astrid's old axe (which had previously belonged to her mother) is a weapon Astrid carries in How to Train Your Dragon and through all the seasons of DreamWorks Dragons: The Series and Dragons: Race to the Edge.

Design

Unlike Astrid's current axe, her old axe used to have a pretty standard and common design.

The blades of the head already looked worn and rusty in the first movie, which insinuates that this axe has had a fair amount of use. There seems to be leather twirled around the shaft for a good grip.

History

Shortly after Astrid's introduction, she is seen sitting in the background holding her axe. She uses it on several occasions throughout the movie, and seems to enjoy fiddling with it, especially sharpening it.

Astrid's old axe also makes several appearances in the TV series. The head of the axe seems to be much more refined and polished in newer seasons suggesting she may have had it professionally cleaned at some point.

During King of Dragons, Part 2, Astrid deflected a fire blast from a Singetail with her axe, causing the blade to be destroyed and leaving only the handle.

At sometime around age 20, Astrid replaced this axe with her new axe.

Appearances

Trivia

  • In a deleted scene which was cut from the first movie because of the length, it is stated that Astrid's old axe belonged to her mother.
  • During the "Fright of Passage" flashback, a five year old Astrid is seen carrying around a very similar looking axe.
  • Astrid sleeps with her axe under her pillow, as mentioned by Snotlout in "Not Lout".
  • Astrid has allowed Heather to borrow her axe.
  • Snotlout used her axe once to clean Hookfang's talons.
  • In the episode "Snotlout's Angels", it's revealed that the handle has her initials carved in it.
