The Terrible Terror's attitude and personality was compared to that of a seagull, and it's movements inspired by that of "flying squirrels, salamanders, and one particular behavior of a desert gecko that prances to keep its feet cool on the hot sand,"notes Head of Character Animation, Simon Otto, in [[The Art of How to Train Your Dragon]].

Terrible Terror eggs have been described to be as small as seeds in ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (film)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' promotional material to being depicted as slightly larger than an adult chicken in "[[Animal House]]". In this ''[[Dragons: Riders of Berk]]'' episode, the Terror egg appears off-white, grey, or light green, with grey, brown, or dark green speckles. Its overall shape is that of a chicken egg.

In ''[[Dragons: Rise of Berk]]'', Terrible Terror eggs are usually light green, though its color depends on that of the dragon inside, and is speckled with smaller spots. The egg can be called round but the shape of it is a little jagged and the roundness is not as smooth as other dragon eggs.

The Terrible Terror resembles a Common or Garden Dragon in appearance. It has an iguana-like body, two pairs of horns, one pair of wings, and a tail with a barbed tip. It comes in various colors, with green being the most common. Others are red, orange, blue, yellow and purple. Its physical attributes (such as the type of horn and spinal ridge) suggest that, despite the size difference, it is closely related to the Monstrous Nightmare. Its large yellow eyes and small size make it one of the most adorable species of dragons.

{{Quote|[[Fishlegs Ingerman|Fishlegs]] had drawn attention to the biggest dragon of the group, the Titan Terrible Terror, who was easily identified by its larger size and its combination of red and brown. The Titan also has larger spines that give this Stoker Class dragon a more bold look, but they are just as curious as their younger counterparts. The biggest difference between the two, is the Titan’s ability to fly with a viking!|''[[School of Dragons]]''}}

Titan Terrors are reddish brown in color. They have developed larger, black horns on their head and bigger eyes, thus giving them a more 'devilish' appearance. They have larger spines on their back. Their wings possess dark brown spots and they have a small, pointy, arrow-shaped tail. These Titans have grown slightly larger, though are still small compared to other dragons in the franchise.

Terrors are very social creatures and can be found in packs most of the time. And though a single Terror cannot do much damage to an opponent, a whole pack is a different story. A pack of Terrible Terrors is a lethal threat that is best avoided. As seen in the Book of Dragons Short, a pack of Terrors easily lifted up a fully grown Viking. Also in the "[[Book of Dragons (Short)|Book of Dragons]]", a pack successfully stole all of [[Bork the Bold|Bork's]] food. A pack of Terrors was able to defeat [[Snotlout Jorgenson|Snotlout]] easily in "[[The Night and the Fury]]". A single Terror can lift small light objects in the air as shown by [[Iggy]], but a sheep has proven to be too heavy to lift for single Terror.

Terrors have quite sharp teeth, as the creatures bit Vikings several times, such as the Terror that bit [[Tuffnut Thorston|Tuffnut]] in the first film, and Snotlout's Terror in "[[Worst in Show]]". Though their bite is said to be venomous, this hasn't been mentioned in the films, series or specials, and the effects of the venom is unknown. They do have great jaw strength, as shown by [[Pain]] to be able to bite for the entire day, and can take tiny pieces of skin off from Snotlout.

As shown by Sneaky, Astrid trained him to be extremely stealthy and as [[Tuffnut Thorston|Tuffnut]] commented, 'Sneaky!'. For example, when Meatlug had been captured by Alvin, [[Savage]] and [[Mildew]], he perched on top of Alvin's helmet without him noticing and tricked Savage into hitting Alvin over the head with his sword, temporarily stunning him.

They often sing when they gather in large groups. A 'singing' Terrible Terror also appeared in "[[Fright of Passage]]", where Snotlout had to deliver the Twins a singing Terrible Terror.

==Behavior and Personality==
In the first movie, and the Book of Dragons, they were shown to lick their eyes like some geckos do despite the fact that they have eyelids. Also in the first movie, when two Terrible Terrors were fighting over a fish, one bobs up and down in a similar manner to how real life geckos will fight in order to intimidate one another.

Terrible Terrors are shown to be very mischievous, as they like to play with Vikings and other dragons. They often travel in packs and they can be quite aggressive and over-ambitious. They tend to pick a fight with larger animals, though they mostly get defeated. Terrible Terrors are also very curious creatures and they can be found in unexpected places. They will eat just about anything they can digest, therefore can be found in any environment in the archipelago.

In the first movie, and in ''Book of Dragons'', Terrible Terrors were shown to lick their eyes, not unlike some species of geckos, despite the fact that they have eyelids. Furthermore, in a scene where Terrible Terrors were fighting over a fish, one bobs up and down in a similar manner to how real life geckos fight in order to intimidate one another.
Like every dragon, each Terrible Terror has its own unique personality. They also make a lot noise, and can be a big pain in the butt. They are not picky eaters and will eat just about anything they can digest.
 
   
Terrible Terrors are also shown to have bit like a hawk-like behavior as they stand on people arms and can be use to send messages.

They also seem to be fairly easy to train. Giving them a light to chase can help out for training as this could be great beginner dragon for young Vikings. Or another way of training Terrible Terrors just to feed them, as [[Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Franchise)|Hiccup]] was shown to give single Terror a fish, and, showing great trust, the Terror went to sleep next to him. As long as you prove to be of no threat to it, Terrors are easy and docile companions.

Compared to the other dragons, the Terrible Terror has a very small role. They only have two major appearances. The first is in the Arena, where the recruits must fight one. Tuffnut claims that the Terror doesn't look very tough, before said creature knocks him to the ground, biting his nose. Hiccup, however, manages to distract it and lead it back to its pen.

The Terrible Terror. Smallest of the dragons, but no less ferocious. You know it's about to breathe fire when you hear a small hissing sound. By taming it start with a shiny object. [src]
  — Gobber  

The Terrible Terror is a small Stoker Class dragon that first appeared in How to Train Your Dragon.

Official Description

Known to sing on the rooftops of Berk.
One of the smallest of all the known dragons. But don't let its tiny stature fool you. This pesky dragon has caused Vikings all sorts of problems, especially considering their affinity to travel in groups ranging from five to upwards of ten. They also pack a pretty lethal puff of fire if you upset them.
As the residents of Berk soon came to discover, when Terrible Terrors gather en masse, they often break into "song". These dissonant chirps, squawks, and croaks have kept many a Viking awake thoughout the night and into the morning.
  Dragonpedia  
Only half the size, but twice as unpredictable! This small Stoker class dragon can be too curious for its own good... and yours!
A Terrible Terror may be tiny, but its rapid-fire fireballs pack a lot of punch.
  Dragons: Rise of Berk  
Those who may underestimate a Terrible Terror because of its small stature should probably think again. Despite their size, Terrible Terrors are known to be one of the most feared species of dragons. As members of the Stoker Class, they possess extremely accurate flame-throwing abilities. They are also known to be especially stealthy and agile. These dragons often live in flocks along the Isle of Berk.
While Vikings should never underestimate these Terrible Terrors, it is important to know that these mischievous dragons can be trained. With determination and patience, young Vikings have been able to gain the trust and friendship of these once-feared Terrible Terrors.
  School of Dragons Website[1]  
Although Terrible Terrors are one of the smallest known dragons, don't let their tiny stature fool you. These pesky creatures cause all sorts of problems, roaming in groups of five to upwards of ten, like pigeons. They also pack a pretty lethal puff of fire if you upset them.

Development

Initially, the Terrible Terror was supposed to play the role of Toothless, as it followed Cressida Cowell's original book series, with Toothless as a Common or Garden Dragon. However, the Night Fury eventually took over Toothless' role as Director Chris Sanders felt that setting up a 'threatening presence' gave the story an essential sense of suspense and tension.

The Terrible Terror's attitude and personality was compared to that of a seagull, and its movements inspired by that of "flying squirrels, salamanders, and one particular behavior of a desert gecko that prances to keep its feet cool on the hot sand," notes Head of Character Animation, Simon Otto, in The Art of How to Train Your Dragon.

If there is comic relief in the Dragon World, it is the Terrible Terrors. They are like naughty little terriers and make a lot of noise. They are annoying, like seagulls.
  — Sanders  

[2]

The texture of this species was designed with cautious note of detail, featuring spots over an organic pattern of scales.

The Terror was the first dragon to be designed, modeled and rigged, and after two and a half years, was brought to life on the screen. The first scene--blinking and licking its eyeball animated by Gabe Hordos--brought tears to the animators' eyes, recounted Head of Rigging Jeff Light.

Physical Appearance

Egg

Terrible Terror Egg

Terrible Terror eggs have been described to be as small as seeds in How to Train Your Dragon promotional material to being depicted as slightly larger than an adult chicken in "Animal House". In this Dragons: Riders of Berk episode, the Terror egg appears off-white, grey, or light green, with grey, brown, or dark green speckles. Its overall shape is that of a chicken egg.

Animal House-ExplodingTerrorEgg-78

In Dragons: Rise of Berk, Terrible Terror eggs are usually light green, though its color depends on that of the dragon inside, and is speckled with smaller spots. The egg can be called round but the shape of it is a little jagged and the roundness is not as smooth as other dragon eggs.

Terror eggs are shown to explode just like Gronckle eggs at hatching, in "Animal House", flinging what appear to be molten hot shards everywhere.

Hatchling to Adult

The Terrible Terror resembles a Common or Garden Dragon in appearance. It has an iguana-like body, two pairs of horns, one pair of wings, and a tail with a barbed tip. It comes in various colors, with green being the most common. Others are red, orange, blue, yellow and purple. Its physical attributes (such as the type of horn and spinal ridge) suggest that, despite the size difference, it is closely related to the Monstrous Nightmare. Its large yellow eyes and small size make it one of the most adorable species of dragons.

Titan Wing

Fishlegs had drawn attention to the biggest dragon of the group, the Titan Terrible Terror, who was easily identified by its larger size and its combination of red and brown. The Titan also has larger spines that give this Stoker Class dragon a more bold look, but they are just as curious as their younger counterparts. The biggest difference between the two, is the Titan’s ability to fly with a viking!
  School of Dragons  
Terrible Terror Titan

Titan Wing Terrible Terrors are reddish brown in color. They have developed larger, black horns on their head and bigger eyes, thus giving them a more 'devilish' appearance. They have larger spines on their back. Their wings possess dark brown spots and they have a small, pointy, arrow-shaped tail. These Titan Wings have grown slightly larger, though are still small compared to most dragons in the Franchise.

Abilities

Firepower

Terrors have a very strong and accurate fire attack. One could even argue they are the snipers of the Dragon World. It is said to have the best accurate for fire bolts compared to most dragons but unknown how good compare to Night Fury.

Strength and Combat

Terrors are very social creatures and can be found in packs most of the time. And though a single Terror cannot do much damage to an opponent, a whole pack is a different story. A pack of Terrible Terrors is a lethal threat that is best avoided. As seen in "Book of Dragons", a pack of Terrors easily lifted up a fully grown Viking. Also in the short, a pack successfully stole all of Bork's food. A pack of Terrors was able to defeat Snotlout easily in "The Night and the Fury", knock out Mildew by ramming him in "Worst in Show", and carry small humans on their backs or with their claws as shown in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. A single Terror can lift small light objects in the air as shown by Iggy, but a sheep has proven to be too heavy to lift for single Terror.

Though Terrors are one of the smallest dragons they are shown to be brave to fight bigger opponents if needed, as shown by single Terror trying to fight over food against a Night Fury.

Jaw Strength

Terrors have quite sharp teeth, as the creatures bit Vikings several times, such as the Terror that bit Tuffnut in the first film, and Snotlout's Terror in "Worst in Show". Though their bite is said to be venomous, this hasn't been mentioned in the films, series or specials, and the effects of the venom is unknown. They do have great jaw strength, as shown by Pain to be able to bite for the entire day, and can take tiny pieces of skin off from Snotlout. It also took Gobber a whole afternoon to pry Pain off Snotlout's left leg and he was also shown to bite through rope easily with no struggling at all.

Speed, Agility, and Stealth

Terrors are shown to be quite fast in flight and agile dragons in to make great quick turns as shown by Iggy. Terrors have shown to be quite fast and stealthy, as one stole all of Bucket's fish without him noticing, and the fact that Terrors often live secretly in Viking houses. As shown by Sneaky, Astrid trained him to be extremely stealthy and as Tuffnut commented, 'Sneaky!'. For example, when Meatlug had been captured by Alvin, Savage and Mildew, he perched on top of Alvin's helmet without him noticing and tricked Savage into hitting Alvin over the head with his sword, temporarily stunning him. Sneaky is also shown to be fast enough to fly from one person's head to another without the person realizing that he had moved at all, without making any noise whatsoever.

Singing

The last thing on the list a Singing TT

It has been revealed that Terrible Terrors have the ability to 'sing'. The Dragonpedia mentioned that flocks of Terrors often keep the residents of Berk awake with their chirps, squawks, and growls. They often sing when they gather in large groups. A 'singing' Terrible Terror also appeared in "Fright of Passage", where Snotlout had to deliver the Twins a singing Terrible Terror. In How to Train Your Dragon 2, Hiccup mentions he had been woken up by Terrible Terrors singing on his rooftop.

Endurance and Stamina

Terrible Terrors are shown to fly for a long time with out tiring out. One was able to withstand a small plasma blast going into his stomach and still walk fine. Pain was able to bite down on Snotlout for long period of time with showing no sign of struggle.

Intelligence

Terrors possess a high level of intelligence, as the trained Terrors from "Worst in Show" were able to learn new skills under one day. Fishlegs trained Iggy to grab whatever the picture Fishlegs was holding showed. For example, when Fishlegs held up a picture of an apple, Iggy grabbed an apple with his mouth and gave it to Fishlegs.

Air Mail Delivery

Dragon Riders trained Terrible Terrors to send messages to the others by its kind that returns to their territory.

Resistance to Low Temperatures

As shown in "Frozen", Terrible Terrors are able to survive in cold environments and even sleep in them with no signs of illness.

Weaknesses

Pack Dependency

Although Terrible Terrors are strong in packs, lone Terrors are actually very weak and, as shown by Toothless in the first movie, can be defeated by one fire blast. They also try to pick fights with dragons a lot bigger than themselves and this often doesn't end very well.

Light Attraction

Similar to Night Furies and Screaming Death, Terrible Terrors can be easily distracted by the light reflected from a something shiny as shown by Hiccup during Dragon Killing Session where he distracted the Terrible Terror that attacked Tuffnut and make it chase the light back into its cage.

Behavior and Personality

They are small and underestimated.
  — DeBlois  

Terrible Terrors are shown to be very mischievous, as they like to play with Vikings and other dragons. They often travel in packs and they can be quite aggressive and over-ambitious. They tend to pick a fight with larger animals, though they mostly get defeated. Terrible Terrors are also very curious creatures and they can be found in unexpected places. They will eat just about anything they can digest, therefore can be found in any environment in the archipelago.

In the first movie, and in Book of Dragons, Terrible Terrors were shown to lick their eyes, not unlike some species of geckos, despite the fact that they have eyelids. Furthermore, in a scene where Terrible Terrors were fighting over a fish, one bobs up and down in a similar manner to how real life geckos fight in order to intimidate one another.

Terrible Terrors like to make a lot noise, with some specimens being able to "sing". They are also shown to behave like hawks, as they stand on people's arms and can be used to send messages between islands.

Among many other things Terrible Terrors like to get into, paper is one of their favorites. According to School of Dragons, Terrible Terrors like paper and often destroy books, in this case, the School of Dragons History Book.

Training

They also seem to be fairly easy to train. Giving them a light to chase can help out for training as this could be great beginner dragon for young Vikings. Or another way of training Terrible Terrors just to feed them, as Hiccup was shown to give single Terror a fish, and, showing great trust, the Terror went to sleep next to him. As long as you prove to be of no threat to it, Terrors are easy and docile companions. In the game School of Dragons, Terrible Terrors can be trained for riding only when they attain Titan Wing status. In the episode "Worst in Show", the Dragon Riders train Terrible Terrors with various skills: delivering mail, butting heads, retrieving items, firing on command, stealthiness, and attacking on command. The Terror Mail aspect reappears throughout the Franchise, even in the games.

Comparative Statistics


Appearances

How to Train Your Dragon

Compared to the other dragons, the Terrible Terror has a very small role. They only have two major appearances. The first is in the Arena, where the recruits must fight one. Tuffnut claims that the Terror doesn't look very tough, before said creature knocks him to the ground, biting his nose. Hiccup, however, manages to distract it and lead it back to its pen.

The second one is after Toothless' and Hiccup's test flight, when they are resting on a small island. A small group of Terrors appears, and try to steal Toothless' fish. When one of the Terrors challenges Toothless, said dragon shoots a fireball in its mouth, making the dragon round like a balloon for a second. Hiccup, taking pity on the creature, gives it a fish and the Terror curls up beside Hiccup, making him realize that everything they know about dragons is wrong.

Gift of the Night Fury

Only one Terrible Terror appears in this short. Near the end, when the Vikings and dragons are celebrating Snoggletog in the Great Hall, a young girl is carrying a rather annoyed looking Terror in her arms.

Book of Dragons

The Terrible Terror is the first dragon to be introduced in this short. Hiccup says that, when training a Terrible Terror, you must distract it with a very shiny object. After Astrid claims that Terrors are cute, Gobber explains that Terrors may be cute on their own, but when hunting in packs, "it's no picnic". A rather fitting scene of a pack of Terrors attacking Bork the Bold while he is having a picnic follows.

Dragons: Riders of Berk

Terrors are often used as minor characters in the series, sometimes as a running gag for comedic effect. A group of Terrible Terrors steal chicken from a female Viking in "How to Start a Dragon Academy".

In "Animal House", Fishlegs tries to show the dragons and animals what they have in common. He then brings out an egg from the Terrible Terror. The egg later explodes.

In "Dragon Flower", Terrible Terror is one of the dragons who gets sick from the Blue Oleander. This same Terrible Terror is seen flying with the Vikings and their dragons after a cure was found.

A Terrible Terror is seen freaking out due to fire caused by lightning, until Astrid saves it in "When Lightning Strikes".

A Terrible Terror is seen sniffing Gobber in "Tunnel Vision", and, being disoriented by his stench, it crashes into a wall.

In "Fright of Passage", Snotlout was tasked to find a singing Terrible Terror to enter the Arena for shelter.

Hiccup and his friends each have to train a Terrible Terror in a day during the events of "Worst in Show", the team turns it into a dragon training competition, much to Hiccup's displeasure. The Terrors, Sharpshot, Iggy, Sneaky, Pain, Butt and Head, were pitted against each other. Later on those Terrors help save Meatlug from Alvin and the Outcasts, using each of their special trained skills.

Hiccup uses a Terrible Terror as "air mail", having it carry messages to Berk. This same Terrible Terror is used again to get the other riders to bring the Screaming Death to Outcast Island during the Events of "Cast Out, Part 2".

During the first annual Dragon Race, Stoick opened a chest of Kick-off Terrors, which flew out and circled the Arena.

Dragons: Race to the Edge

Season 1

In "Imperfect Harmony", an ambered Terrible Terror was seen among the many dragons captured by a wild Death Song. It was later freed by the Dragon Riders.

Season 2

In "Team Astrid", a Terror mail was sent from Berk to Dragon's Edge to inform the Dragon Riders about Dagur's attacks. The Terrible Terror lands on Fishleg's face, knocking him down.

In "A Time to Skrill", several Terrible Terrors were seen sleeping on a glacier. But when lightning struck the island, and the Frozen Skrill was about to escape, the Terrors fled.

In "Maces and Talons, Part 2", Viggo is seen with a Terror. He pounded the table hard, startling it and the Terror let out a burst of flames, lighting up the Dragon Eye. It is unknown what happened to this Terror, but it was likely freed by Hiccup and the Dragon Riders at some point.

Season 3

In "To Heather or Not to Heather", Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut chase down a Terrible Terror, which was headed towards Fishlegs' hut. They managed to catch the dragon and take the letter it was delivering, before the Terror flew away, scared. At the end of the episode, a Terrible Terror delivers a letter from Dagur to the Dragon Riders.

In "Stryke Out", the Dragon Hunters send a Terror mail to the Fight Master, in order to warn him about the Dragon Riders' attack. However, the Riders follow the dragon and catch it before delivering the message.

In "Defenders of the Wing, Part 1", Viggo sends Hiccup a Terror mail, asking him to meet on Botany Blight.

Season 4

In "Not Lout", Astrid practices stealth by trying to ambush a flock of Terrible Terrors. However, Snotlout ruins the exercise by scaring away the dragons. The flock returns quickly afterwards and attacks Snotlout.

In "Gold Rush", Hiccup knocks over a Terrible Terror while practicing a new move with Toothless. Later, Dagur goes in a cave to find Berk's gold, instead he finds a flock of Terrors which attack him.

When the people of Berk decided to move to the Hidden World, all the Terrible Terrors of the island began the journey too, carrying different things, such as ships. They eventually arrived at New Berk, where they settled down for a while.

Many wild Terrible Terrors were among the myriad of dragons in the Hidden World who bowed down in front of Toothless and the Unnamed Light Fury, showing respect for their Alpha.

After Grimmel the Grisly captured Toothless, all the Terrible Terrors from Berk, along with the other dragons, came to their Alpha's help. However, Toothless ordered them to stop when Grimmel threatened to kill the Light Fury.

Fortunately, the Dragon Riders began an attack on Grimmel's ships and freed the Terrible Terrors, along with the other dragons, which returned to New Berk.

When the battle ended, Hiccup realized that the only way the dragons can be safe from humans was for them to go to the Hidden World. After Toothless gave the command to the dragons of Berk, all of them, including the Terrible Terrors, said their farewells to the Vikings and flew off to the Hidden World.

Trivia

  • The growling and other sounds the Terrible Terror make are actually based on a purebred Chihuahua from Cottage Grove.
  • The Terrible Terror was originally designed to be a more faithful take on the original Toothless from the book series, but the creators of the film felt that it would be best to leave them as a separate species and make Toothless the more threatening Night Fury to give Hiccup's story a sense of tension. This is referenced in the Filmmaker's Commentary of the DVD release, where they relate the "tug of war" between Toothless and the Terror as a battle between Toothless' original and new incarnations.
  • Even though Terrible Terrors have been stated to be the smallest dragon species, Fireworms have been shown to be much smaller than them, except for the Fireworm Queen.
  • The way Terrible Terrors lay eggs that are as large as themselves is similar to real-life kiwi birds.
  • Unlike most Stoker Class dragons, the Terrible Terror doesn't have the habit of setting itself on fire.
  • The appearance of Terrible Terrors are seemingly based off that of small lizards, such as geckos.
  • Strangely enough, when a captured Terrible Terror lit the Dragon Eye, the output was in multiple colors, not just that of the Terror's fire. Even stranger, at the center of the projection was a crude depiction of what appeared to be a Night Fury, even though Toothless' own flame had revealed nothing about his kind. It is unclear whether this is a direct effect of the flame itself, or the product of the locking fail-safe mechanism being activated by the Flightmare.
  • Depictions have been seen of people flying by having multiple Terrible Terrors each grabbing separate limbs.
  • The role of Terrible Terrors being messengers may have been inspired by the role of Ravenhunters and Carrier Dragons in the book series, with their role being very similar to that of messenger pigeons in real life.
  • D'Angelo revealed the Terrible Terrors and Snowtails relativity as cousins.
