Fishlegs' Chickenpoxer is a dragon character appearing occasionally in the How to Train Your Dragon Book series.
Biography[]
Fishlegs' Assigned Riding Dragon[]
During the Herding-Reindeer-on-Dragonback lesson, the students each choose a young Riding Dragon. These Dragons were too young to fly with the weight of a rider, but were strong enough to carry them well on the ground. Fishlegs got last choice and ended up with this Chickenpoxer. Being of an ornery nature, Fishlegs' Chickenpoxer immediately bucked him off. It continued to do this several times. Eventually, Fishlegs and the Chickenpoxer work together enough to herd reindeer with the rest of the boys and their Riding Dragons with little incident.
Later during the lesson, the reindeer, dragons, and boys are surrounded by a huge fire caused by Exterminator dragons. The boys get off their riding dragons, including Fishlegs, as they might panic and dive into the fire. Fishlegs' Chickenpoxer, as well as all the other dragons except Hiccup's Windwalker and Goliath, fly away.
Racing[]
Fishlegs rode the Chickenpoxer during the Inter-Tribe Summer-tide Friendly Bury the Hatchet Games, though he had trouble lifting off the ground, as he had outgrown his riding dragon. He was the last one in the Young-Warrior-in-Training-Dash-Down-the-Slalom-of-Death race. When Hiccup headed down in the Gorge of the Thunderbolt of Thor to rescue the Hogfly, Fishlegs steered the Chickenpoxer to follow, but the dragon refused to go into the gorge and so they stayed in the area. After Hiccup got out safely, Fishlegs rode the Chickenpoxer back to Berk along with Hiccup on the Windwalker.
Hunting For Honey on the Island of Berserk[]
Whilst preparing for a task set by UG the Uglithug, Gobber assigns the Viking novices to train how to survive whilst riding on their riding dragons. Fishlegs rides on his Chickenpoxer, He also has the occurrence of getting bucked off by the dragon continuously. Afterwards, the Hooligans go back home, and hiccup finds out that Fishlegs and the Chickenpoxer have gone back to Beserk, He later finds the duo had crashed in the Beserk forests with a bag full of honey and surrounded by a pack of Scarers. When attempting to rescue Fishlegs, the Chickenpoxer gets spooked and flies off with Fishlegs still on its back, Hiccup chases after the dragon until he and Fishlegs get tranquilized by poison darters who ambush the boys.
Fate[]
The Chickenpoxer isn't seen again later on in the series, given that Fishlegs gets a new riding dragon, it can be assumed that this dragon has been set free into the wild, however it may have sided with humans during the dragon rebellion. Its main whereabouts are currently unknown
Physical Appearance[]
Fishlegs' Chickenpoxer is short and "so fat its belly barely cleared the ground". As is typical of Chickenpoxers, this one has various lumps and warts on its body as well as rounded knobs on its head.
Personality[]
Fishlegs' Chickenpoxer is a short-tempered and stubborn dragon, being compared to a Shetland pony. Lacking the deep connection with Fishlegs that Hiccup and his Hiccup's Windwalker, it does not have any compunction about abandoning the boy during a dangerous situation.
