I liked your fire sword so much, I made my own. With improvements, of course. [src]
  — Viggo  

Viggo's Fire Sword is Viggo Grimborn's new sword and main weapon during the episode "Triple Cross".

Design[]

Viggo's fire sword looks and is nearly identical to Inferno's design from the second film, which was probably inspired from it. Due to the fact that the blade was able to cut Dragon Proof Metal chains, it is presumed that the blade is made out of Gronckle Iron. While the blade was forged from Gronckle Iron, the sword hilt is turquoise in color so possible the handle was made from dragon proof metal. The handle on the top with 6 spikes is also similar to the handle of Viggo's normal sword, being encrusted with jewels. The bottom part that releases gas has the shape of the head of a dragon.

As Viggo mentioned, although this sword was inspired from Inferno, it has some improvements. Just like Hiccup's Inferno (first and second), Viggo's fire sword has a retractable blade that can be covered in Monstrous Nightmare saliva, allowing the sword to be set aflame when ignited. It is proven that this sword can cut through dragon proof metal, even when it is not ignited with fire, which may be because it might be because the blade is made out of Gronckle Iron. Unlike Hiccup's first Inferno (before the second film), Viggo's fire sword contains Hideous Zippleback gas in its handle, which can be released when a certain button is pressed. The gas can also explode when Viggo activates his fire sword and combines it with the gas. Viggo's fire sword also had lighters on both side that ignite the Zippleback gas or the Monstrous Nightmare saliva.

History[]

Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 6[]

Having been inspired by Hiccup's Inferno, Viggo made himself a sword that can ignite itself. He briefly used it against Hiccup, with the fight ending when Viggo released gas from the sword and ignited it, making a small explosion. Viggo then put his sword down as a sign that he doesn't want to hurt Hiccup.

Later, when Johann figured that Viggo is not on his side anymore, the latter released gas and ignited it, creating a big explosion to mask his escape. He then found his Skrill and used his sword to free him by cutting its dragon proof chains. Viggo is seen with his sword in his hand while talking to Hiccup. As his final act, Viggo ignites the sword and attacks a group of Dragon Hunters. Given the electric explosion it it likely that the fire sword was also destroyed with its owner.

After Hiccup defeated Krogan and Johann, it costed his original Inferno to break, but Hiccup got many of the new ideas for his new sword from Viggo's Fire Sword when remaking it.

Trivia[]

  • Hiccup's design for Inferno in How to Train Your Dragon 2 is almost identical to Viggo's fire sword:
    • Both have blades made out of thin metal, forming only the edges of the sword and the middle is open.
    • Both have handles that have the shape of the head of a dragon, which is where both swords releases Zippleback gas and sparks to ignite it. It is probable that Inferno's ability to spray Zippleback gas was inspired by Viggo's Fire Sword. But Hiccup probably got the idea from the Dragon Eye and he mentioned it once after he first used his Inferno.
    • Both have retractable blades that is less sword like.
  • Although it unknown what happen to Viggo's Sword after "Sins of the Past", as by "Triple Cross", he built his own Fire Sword as his new sword. It is unknown what he made it of instead of Gronckle Iron but it's likely that Viggo use his normal sword to create his own fire sword, as his fire sword had rubies that are similar to his original sword.
