Biography[]

Meeting Hiccup and Viggo[]

During the events of "Buffalord Soldier," when Astrid came down with the lethal Scourge of Odin, the gang rushed to find the said-to-be extinct Buffalord in hopes of finding a cure. When they finally spotted one at the far end of the Barbaric Archipelago, they collected his healing saliva, only to find that it dries up very quickly. So they attempted to lead him back to the Edge, only to have the dragon swell in size, and release exploding flames in protest. The Riders then brought Astrid over to the island, and soon learned that it was the Buffalord's saliva, combined with the remnants of the herbs it eats that cures the plague. But before Hiccup could collect the solution, Viggo arrived with other plans to seize the Buffalord and bring it to the black market. After a major dilemma, Hiccup promised to let Viggo take the Buffalord away, as long as he can get the cure first. Reluctantly, both parties agreed and Astrid was cured. The Buffalord was led away by the Hunters, still passive and gentle. The gang was upset with Hiccup's seemingly unnecessary sacrifice, while Ryker was somewhat surprised that they did not put up a fight. Viggo remarked that Hiccup is one who keeps his word, only to whip around and see the Buffalord had swelled in size again, and broken out of its cage at being removed from its island. The Buffalord landed back on the exact same spot, next to a smirking Hiccup, to resume eating. Hiccup then names the Island Odin's Respite.
