Hiccup Horrendous Haddock is gentle, meek, and very unlike the typical Vikings in his clan and hometown. The warriors, who tell of dangerous dragons and seemingly endless combat, spend their days forcing deadly dragons into submission in brutal dragon training practices. When not taming ferocious dragons they are practicing battle moves or sparring with one another, constantly preparing for battles to come. Surrounded by this primal energy, Hiccup is more of a curious adventurer, eager to question everything and explore the world around him, always seeking answers in the wild. It is on one such adventure that he stumbles across a tiny dragon that he christens Toothless, and the two build a relationship based on trust and friendship. Can Hiccup and Toothless change the minds of their people, teaching them that the dragons can be equals rather than enemies?
