In "Magma Breather", while traveling with his mother, Olivia, through one of the caves leading to the entrance of the Hidden World, Tom inadvertently causes her to discover a piece within a large rock, which Olivia decides to keep for study. Later on, Tom notices many more Dragonsite formations in the Hidden World. It is also revealed that certain species of fire breathing dragons, namely Terrible Terrors, heat Dragonsite with their flames which make them extremely warm and soothing when the dragons rub against them.

Season 3[]
In "Ride or Die", Olivia reveals to Wilma Sledkin that she tested Dragonsite's hardness and found that it exceeds that of a diamond, much to Sledkin's skepticism. Later on, Sledkin leads a pair of miners to the caves Olivia previously visited to acquire more specimens for study. However, because their digging brought them dangerous close to the entrance to the Hidden World so D'Angelo, Alex, Plowhorn, and Feathers had to get them away from them. When Plowhorn causes a small collapse to scare them off, despite the miners concern Sledkin sees a piece of Dragonsite and is still determined to get to it. Later Alex and Feathers make a scary sound to scare them off which frightens the miners but Sledkin states its just the wind which leads her to believe there's a tunnel with Dragonsite so she make's the miners work harder. Although thankfully they get them away from the tunnel by having Feathers pretend she's a ghost to scare the miners off, forcing Sledkin to abandon the project.
Season 4[]
In "Cold Open", Olivia is studying the properties of Dragonsite and discovers that Dragonsite can withstand temperatures of up to 4500°K, but struggles to determine how to further test the crystal which makes her obsessed and frustrated with trying to study it and also concerns Carla and Hazel. Later at night she tests her 6000 K, causing it to emit large amounts of light & gases.
In "The Decoy", Olivia shows her latest crystal specimen to the Dragon Club during their field trip to ICARIS. The kids, having seen Dragonsite - and given it that name - in the Hidden World already, pretend to look surprised, but Tom panics and whispers to Jun about this new specimen. Olivia overhears, prompting Tom to say he was suggesting a name for the crystal & Eugene to add that it's based on a crystal in the Dragon Club's "fantasy roleplaying game", so Olivia officially coins the term.
In "The Night Lights, Part 2", when Olivia is trying to see what Tom is up too, Sledkin thinks she's off to find more Dragonsite so when confronting her Olivia denies and says she's off on a walk although Sledkin still thinks she's trying to find more Dragonsite. Sledkin has Linda follow her but Philip then has her assist him with maintenance which bothers Sledkin.
Season 6[]
In "Dragons Everywhere!", Tom discovers that a pack of Deadly Nadders were responsible for chasing little dragons up to Rakke Town because their nest made up of Dragonsite had been ransacked, leading him to believe Buzzsaw did this. Although later its revealed Sledkin and Linda were the ones responsible.
In "Undercover", when Jun wanted to bring Sledkin into the Hidden World Tom didn't trust the idea so while Jun and D'Angelo took her there Tom, Alex and Eugene snuck into her office to find some dirt on her, in which they found proof of an email that Sledkin was responsible for raiding the Nadder's nest of Dragonsite. Meanwhile when Jun and D'Angelo bring Sledkin into the Hidden World, after a while they find some Terrible Terrors blasting at a piece of Dragonsite which impresses Sledkin as she takes pictures she was amazed that the rock reacted to Dragon fire and admired how the heat interacted with the composition of the stone. When Jun and D'Angelo returned Tom tried proving to them Sledkin was responsible for the Nadder's Dragonsite nest although thanks to Eugene's stupidity he a picture of his face instead of the email, and despite Jun believing them she let her ego get the best of her when Tom states that Sledkin need her to bring her to the Realms if she could get Dragonsite anytime she wanted which made Jun storm off. Later as the riders discover their dragons were being bothered they later find out Sledkin and Linda kidnapped and abused two Terrible Terrors to blast at some Dragonsite, later as the riders rescued the Terrors May arrives and dismisses Sledkin's experiments stating they have not been authorised.
In "Sledkin Stakeout", May officially dismisses Sledkin's Dragonsite research which greatly displeases Sledkin, but later the riders disover a blown up wall and an injured Cavern Crasher they then find Dragonsite shards leading them to believe Sledkin was behind this, after informing May and Olivia about this who confront her however Sledkin denies them that it was her and without proof they couldn't convict her. Later after determining Buzzsaw wasn't responsible and another explosion goes off where the riders now find a cave and inside some Dragonsite ore that was about to be detonated in which they find Sledkin and Linda proving they were responsible. But after Sledkin seals the riders in a cave in, getting rescued by the Cavern Crasher and informing their parents again, Sledkin and Linda run away. Olivia then regrets sharing her research with her revealing that that Dragonsite has oxygenating properties, likely caused by heating the crystals as Terrible Terrors do. She and D'Angelo then conclude that Dragonsite provides the Hidden World's entire air supply, so mining it all out would make it unhabitable.
Season 7[]
In "Heart of Glass", when the riders find Sledkin and Linda in the Nature Realm they're mining it for Dragonsite in which Sledkin also has a piece of some in her pocket and lies that she's the one that the discovery while Tom states that Olivia did and did all the research but Sledkin rants saying she abandoned the project to study the dragons. later when Tom leaves Sledkin and Linda trapped in the Glass Tower Sledkin uses the Dragonsite to break open the glass barrier in which later Tom remembers it's harder than a diamond.
In "Eugene's Lean Mean Extreme Dream Team", Buzzsaw doesn't appreciate Sledkin trespassing to mine Dragonsite into the Hidden World which he claims as his but needs help to translate the Book of Dragons so he makes a deal with her saying she can continue to mine out the Dragonsite as long as she helps him translate the book.
In "404 Alex Not Found", Sledkin's secret underground lab has four chambers with four pieces Dragonsite in them. Sledkin believes there's a large deposit of Dragonsite in one of the realms but requires time to prep for the expedition however Buzzsaw becomes frustrated and angry that she's doing this and not translating the book. When Buzzsaw returns Sledkin is in the middle of studying a piece of Dragonsite and when Buzzsaw mentions he was in a maze of crystals she thinks he's talking about Dragonsite, but as she rants and acts defeated when he mentions he lost the book to the riders Sledkin reveals she took pictures of the book on her phone in which one of the pages showed a piece of glowing Dragonsite.
In "Rise of Jörmungandr", while racing against Buzzsaw to find Jörmungandr in the Dark Realm, the club comes across red Dragonsite but unlike the usual green ones when red Dragonsite is heated by dragon fire it creates a mist that doesn't produce a calm soothing effect on dragons but it irritates them and humans too, causing them all to be at eachother's throats and for D'Angelo to explain all their faults but he later concludes that the Red Dragonsite's mist has an effect on their serotonin levels.
Season 8[]
In "How to Train Jörmungandr", two Terrible Terrors are enjoying the feel of some Dragonsite although when Jörmungandr arrives they both fly away as the large serpent slithers over their Dragonsite and shatters it.
In "The Great Foster Fake-Out", as Sledkin is in her lab she stares at her phone of the picture of Dragonsite she got from the book of dragons, although searching for it drives her mad and also grows very frustrated with Linda and Buzzsaw who don't help her. Much later while examining a piece Sledkin becomes very frustrated as she fails to find the realm of Dragonsite so much so she tosses the piece away in rage, although Nibbles manages to track the crystal's scent and brings it back to Sledkin which gives her the idea to use a dragon to find what she's looking for.
Physical Properties[]
Dragonsite is a green, fluorescent, crystalline structure found all over the Hidden World in every realm and gives off a green mist when interacted with dragon-fire, let alone very large and enormous desposits of the crystal is found all over the Gods Realm fuelling the Hidden World with oxygen. However one specific piece of Dragonsite that helps keep the Hidden World stay alive is covered in black veins all over it.
In the Dark Realm the Dragonsite there is red and emits a red mist.
Function[]
When coming into contact with dragon fire, Dragonsite releases oxygen in the air surrounding it, sustaining the atmosphere of the Hidden World.
However for the red variant when coming into contact with dragon fire, the Dragonsite emits a powerful mist which effects a living creature's serotonin levels causing them to become angry and quick to judge.
Trivia[]
- A green glowing crystal similar to Dragonsite appears in How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming, but it remains unconfirmed if the two are the same.
