Snotlout is Hiccup’s brash, self-absorbed rival who constantly wrestles with his insecurities beneath a façade of overconfidence. As the son of the legendary warrior Spitelout, he is under constant pressure to live up to his family’s expectations, convincing himself he is destined for greatness—despite often falling short. He dismisses Hiccup as an afterthought and sees Astrid as little more than an obstacle, certain that leadership is his for the taking. No matter how often he falls short, he clings to the belief that his moment of glory is just around the corner. The disconnect between his self-image and reality is both his greatest frustration and the source of his unintentional comedy.[src]
