Gobber's Nemesis is a Boneknapper featured in Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon.

Official Description[]

The legendary Boneknapper was only Gobber's nemesis because it wanted a single bone from Gobber's collection to help give it a perfect roar.
  Dragons: Rise of Berk  


Biography[]

Grudge against Gobber the Belch[]

According to his narration, Gobber's Nemesis first encountered Gobber when the latter got hold of a small treasure chest. He crashed into the glacier and caused an avalanche that nearly separated Gobber from the treasure. After Gobber reclaimed the treasure, Gobber's Nemesis clutched it in his talons, but Gobber took it back and escaped the Boneknapper after diving into a hole in a glacier.

Many years later, Gobber's Nemesis had Gobber stranded on an island. As Gobber ran over the shark-infested waters to another island, Gobber's Nemesis planned to attack when a Hammerhead Whale leapt from the ocean to attack Gobber's Nemesis, but the Boneknapper managed to escape.

Years after, Gobber's Nemesis was chasing Gobber through a forest and up a volcano. As Gobber jumped over the crater, a Hammerhead Yak burst from the lava to attack Gobber's Nemesis, but the Boneknapper managed to escape again.

Eventually, Gobber set up a gauntlet of traps to capture his Boneknapper nemesis. When the dragon appeared, Gobber led him through the traps, but none succeeded in apprehending the Boneknapper. Upon being cornered by the edge of a cliff, Gobber screamed for help and summoned Thor, who in turn summoned the Hammerhead Yak riding the Hammerhead Whale. Both creatures attacked the Boneknapper and freed Gobber. However, the Bonenapper got away again.

Encounter with the Dragon Riders[]

Several years after their last encounter, Gobber believed that his Boneknapper nemesis had returned following a fire in his house. With the Dragon Riders and his pet sheep Phil in tow, Gobber decided to put an end to his rivalry with the Boneknapper by hunting the dragon down.

After becoming stranded on an island, Gobber recounted his stories to the Dragon Riders before setting a trap with Fishlegs as bait. However, Gobber's Nemesis snuck up behind the group and tricked them into being caught in the ribcage. Gobber's Nemesis intended to finish the Vikings off when Hiccup noticed its missing piece of armor, which matched perfectly with Gobber's belt buckle: the treasure that the dragon had been pursuing. Gobber initially refused to give it up, but he eventually relented and gave the Boneknapper the belt buckle, restoring the dragon's roar. In return, Gobber's Nemesis befriended him and the Vikings and gave them and Phil a ride back to Berk with several other Boneknappers following them.

Physical Appearance[]

Being a Boneknapper, this individual is a fairly huge dragon made entirely of bone armor.

Personality[]

Boneknapper's behavior

Gobber's Nemesis and Gobber the Belch have been rivals for a quite long period of time; however, this was mostly due to the Boneknapper's objective to gain the perfect bone piece, which was Gobber's belt buckle, and Gobber didn't know about the species' nature to seek bone armor.

As long as his desire is fulfilled, Gobber's Nemesis seems very friendly and playful to humans, like that of dogs. He is also quite generous, as he flew Gobber, Hiccup, and the rest of the gang back to Berk by letting them ride on his back.

Abilities[]

Boneknapper's Power
  • Strength and Stamina: Being a fully-grown Boneknapper, he can wear the bone armor and carry Gobber and the riders, plus a sheep, all the way back to Berk with ease.
  • Fire Breath: He bursts a rapid torrent of flame from his mouth that is unique to his species. This fire doesn't seem to be very hot, but due to his size, the range of the attack is quite large.
Boneknapper's Roar

Boneknapper's thundering roar after his bone is found.

  • Thundering Roar: A single roar from a Boneknapper can blow away surrounding objects vigorously. Without the special bone piece, however, the dragon's roar is nothing more than an air leakage sound from the vocal cords. Also, without the special bone piece, this also makes the Boneknapper very silent when used for stealth. How this logically works is currently unstated. This roar is also used as a mating call that can attract others of his kind.

Trivia[]

  • The existence of the Boneknapper raises the question as to whether the Hammerhead Yak and Hammerhead Whale also exist. If so, it means that Gobber has seen Thor himself.
  • In Dragons: Rise of Berk, the dragon's eyes change color from green (hatchling) to red (adult). Gobber's Nemesis in the short film appears to have green eyes.
