Murderous Dragon[]


The Murderous Dragon first appeared in A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons, where the Murderous Tribe are being carried by them into battle with the four hundred Meathead Tribe Vikings who are guarding the Meathead Public Library while Hiccup, Toothless, Fishlegs, Camicazi and Stormfly escape on the stolen Stealth Dragon.

They are only mentioned once and have no information regarding this dragon species.

Steam-Dragon[]

"Man the main masts! Stoke up the steam-dragons! Put on your winter woollies and set the course the way the little weirdo is pointing! AMERICA, HERE WE COME!"

- Norbert the Nutjob in How to Ride a Dragon's Storm

Steam Dragons are mentioned three times in How to Ride a Dragon's Storm, but are not given any physical description. Despite this, the paragraph states that they are capable of emitting great belches of smoke from the chimney of The American Dream II, Norbert the Nutjob's ship in his journey to sail to America. The smoke is also a distinctive grey-green color, indicating to Hiccup that it is dragon smoke.

"The steam pouring out of the chimney was a distinctive grey-green, so Hiccup suspected it was dragon-smoke, probably coming from dragons hidden within the belly of the ship. Hiccup would have loved to see by what mechanism this steam powered the boat."

They are mentioned one last time in this paragraph:

"Apart from four crewmen (one steering the boat, one looking after the Steam-Dragons, one keeping lookout, and one laboriously turning Norbert’s mad Monster-Scaring Machine), all the human beings aboard the American Dream 2 had fallen asleep now: Hysterics, Hooligans, friends and foes, all."

Unknown Nanodragons[]


There is an image of two Nanodragons in The Incomplete Book of Dragons that are not named or discussed. They are Nanodragons, because they are shown in that section of the Book which discusses Nanodragons.

These two are very similar, with the main feature being that they have a snail's shell as part of their bodies. However, one dragon has two eyes and the other has three eyes, each on stalk like a snail. Whether these are meant to be the same species or two related species, we may never know.

Unknown Cave Dragon[]


Under the Cave dragons section in The Incomplete Book of Dragons the dragon pictured at right appears. It looks a tad like a deep sea angler fish. Its appearance doesn't match any known Cave Dragons, nor is it named.

Unknown Sea Dragons[]


In How to Fight a Dragon's Fury, two separate pictures of similar Sea Dragons appear. It is unclear which species these are meant to be. They are not Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus, Woden's Nightmare, or Thor's Thunderer because they appear on the same pages with these species. These dragons do not match up with other known Sea Dragon species that have been described previously, such as the Leviathorgan. However, Savagers are mentioned multiple times in name only, so its possible these dragons are Savagers. Also possible: They are a new undescribed species, or the author drew them with known species in mind but drew them completely different.

Unknown Hunting Dragon[]


There is a Hunting Dragon mentioned in both How to Train Your Dragon and How to Be a Pirate, named Brightclaw. This dragon belongs to an unknown young Hooligan Viking. No information is given about its species or classification.

According to the official How to Train Your Dragon Books Website, some of the Viking Novices have Hunting Dragons that are not described. It is possible Brightclaw could be an Eaglefly or a Lackwit. However, Slitherfangs are also hunting dragons used by the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. Either of these three are possible, or Brightclaw could be an entirely different species altogether.
