Official Description[]
“
The Lead Stinger guides its pack into battle using basic group tactics, and is easily distinguished from other Speed Stingers by its unique spine sail and coloring.
When the sea freezes over in “Frozen”, the Lead Stinger leads his pack from their island to Berk, where they start to wreak havoc and paralyze many of its inhabitants. Those that survived the onslaught managed to retreat to the cove. Hiccup then layed out a plan to capture the Lead Stinger in order to lure the entire pack away from Berk. After a troublesome encounter, the Dragon Riders managed to drive the Speed Stingers back to their island.
The Lead Stinger returns in “The Next Big Sting” when his injured packmate (named Speedy) is taken away by the Dragon Riders for recovery. With their newly-evolved webbed feet, the Speed Stingers ran across the sea and straight for Dragon's Edge. The Lead Stinger and his pack attacked the Dragon Riders, but Speedy convinces them that no harm has been done on him, and the Lead Stinger leads his pack back to their island.
Physical Appearance[]
As the leader, he is slightly bigger than the rest of the pack; and instead of green fins and green wings like his followers, he has red fins, and red wings. While his followers are all-mint green with no obvious patterns, the Lead Stinger has dark red stripes on his body, limbs, and tail.
Personality[]
As the leader, he stays in front of the pack like most leaders do. He was shown to be very aggressive when compared to his pack. He shows very little fear in the face of much larger flying dragons, and his fighting abilities and speed are very impressive to try to take on a Night Fury like Toothless. When he was found sleeping in a cave in Frozen, the Lead Stinger slept curled around a stalagmite, as if it were a place of honor. All the other stingers huddled on the cave floor and against the cave walls.
However, the Lead Stinger has a softer side: both he and his pack are incredibly protective of younger individuals and other pack members, which is why they went to find Speedy. When Speedy stung three of his fellow pack members to save the Dragon Riders, who nursed his injured leg in "The Next Big Sting", he sent them to the ground, paralyzed. The Lead Singer appeared shocked and angry at the younger stinger's rebellion in attacking his own kind. However, after seeing that Speedy wasn't in any harm under Dragon Riders' care, the Lead Stinger respected his decision to stay with riders.
Abilities[]
Speed and Agility: Like all Speed Stingers, the Lead Stinger is a very fast runner and can jump very high, being able to sting Snotlout, while he was in the air on Hookfang. He was able to go toe-to-toe with Toothless, a Night Fury, dodging his plasma blast and battling him in combat.
Paralyzing Stinger: Like all Speed Stingers, he can paralyze other creatures by stinging them with his tail.
Strength: He showed significant strength when he managed to escape Hiccup's net easily.
Alpha/Leadership: He commands the pack, and they always follow his command (with the exception of Speedy). His leadership is shown to be very effective, as he managed to convince his pack to jump over fire, even though they were afraid of it.
