Grimmel's Crossbow is the main weapon used by Grimmel the Grisly, which first appeared in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

History[]

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World[]

While Grimmel was visiting the Warlords inside their dragon fighting arena, a Rumblehorn broke its chains and began rampaging. The hunter quickly grabbed his crossbow and shot the wild dragon, making it collapse in an instant.

During his visit in the Haddock House, Grimmel used his crossbow to inject Toothless with Deathgripper venom. However, Hiccup anticipated the move and the one who was shot was actually Fishlegs.

Grimmel used his crossbow again to sedate Toothless and the Light Fury before chaining them up to his airship. Later on while riding the Light Fury, Grimmel tried to shoot Hiccup with his crossbow, only for the latter to dodge and have the dart hit Toothless instead. Hiccup then kicked Grimmel off the Light Fury’s back, disarming him in the process and caused the crossbow to fall into the ocean. It is presumably destroyed due to falling thousands of feet in the air and crashing into the ocean.

School of Dragons[]

During the concomitant events of "The Hidden World" Expansion Pack, Grimmel used his crossbow to shoot down Cloudjumper and inject the dragon with Deathgripper venom. He also used his crossbow while fighting the Dragon Riders in the "Dragon Tactics" mini-game.

Physical Appearance[]

Grimmel's crossbow is an ordinary crossbow, but it is slightly smaller than regular crossbows, as Grimmel can hold it with one hand. It has wooden structures combined with metal ones and has a simpler ammunition loading mechanism, where it can only shoot one arrow at a time before manually reloading. When not in use, the crossbow add to Grimmel's appearance. The crossbow seems somewhat flexible as the lethe can close when Grimmel's put it away.

Function[]

  • Projectile launching: Grimmel uses his crossbow in order to launch arrows that contain Deathgripper venom that can kill or paralyze a dragon. The venom also stuns humans as Grimmel shot Fishlegs who he thought it was Toothless. The crossbow is extremely powerful, as while riding the female Light Fury Grimmel managed to shoot down Toothless, who was presumably flying at full speed.

Trivia[]

  • The crossbow seems to be based off a Tranquilizer rifle, used to sedate animals, (Deathgrippers).
  • Grimmel’s crossbow has a slightly different appearance in the original trailer than how it is presented in the actual film.
