The Visithugs are a Tribe in the Barbaric Archipelago first mentioned briefly in Book 3, How to Speak Dragonese
History[]
The Visithugs, like most of the Tribes in the Barbaric Archipelago, have active blood feuds with other tribes. As of How to Speak Dragonese they have a blood feud with both the Bog-Burglar Tribe and the Hysteric Tribe. Big-Boobied Bertha of the Bog-Burglars taunted Visithug axe-work, offending the entire tribe. With the Hysterics, an arm-wrestling competition became out of control, starting another blood feud.
The Visithugs appear to be, at least in part, shepherds, as Camicazi mentions stealing sheep in Book 4.
Appearances[]
How to Speak Dragonese[]
Camicazi relates that she escaped from the Visithugs without any problems, even though the Tribe was known as being "tough". Visithugs are also listed on the blood feud diagram seen in this Book.
How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse[]
Camicazi again touts her prowess by stating that she has "burgled whole flocks of SHEEP off the Visithugs".
How to Train Your Hogfly[]
Stoick the Vast refused to invite the Visithugs to the Inter-Tribe Summer-tide Friendly Bury the Hatchet Games, which angered Very-Vicious the Visithug. He and his men ambushed Stoick in his own house, threatening to kill him and decree a blood feud for hurting his feelings. However, Very-Vicious was willing to forgive him if Hiccup trained his Hogfly, Hellsbells. The Visithugs then go to the Peaceable Country to hunt some Peaceables. However, Hiccup sent them a warning message, so the Visithugs ended up hunting sheep. Very-Vicious returned a couple of days later for his Hogfly, and was impressed by Hiccup's demonstration. He left behind his hunting dragons, who refused to fetch an apple (which was actually a Throatgoggler egg).
Trivia[]
- The name "Visithug" may have been inspired by Visigoths; a Germanic tribe that overthrew Rome and ruled Spain prior to the Viking era.
