Submaripper

Official Description 

Charybdis. The Kraken. Sea serpents. For centuries, frightened sailors have told tales of a beast that could turn the very oceans against them — if only they knew how right those myths were! The Submaripper dragon whips up whirlpools by creating a vortex in its mouth and start tsunamis when its massive body breaches the water's surface like a whale. Yet the Submaripper only unleashes these defenses when attacked by foolish Vikings and when it encounters its natural enemy, the Shellfire! The Submaripper is a gigantic deep-sea dragon that creates whirlpools and tidal waves to bring prey down to its waiting jaws. The Submaripper can be recognized by distinctive, foul-smelling bubbles that appear when it draws near. It reacts to vibrations in the water above it, and will follow them in the hopes of encountering food. It is typically not an aggressive dragon, but will lash out if threatened. The Submaripper doesn't breathe fire, but it vomits the shipwrecks it has ingested, spraying opponents with harpoon-studded debris. It also hunts prey by sensing their vibrations in the water, making the Submaripper the only dragon in both the Tidal and Tracker Classes! Hailing from the Tidal Class, the Submaripper has sent many a Viking to a watery grave with its ability to create inescapable whirlpools. Just watch out for its gas bubbles! This dragon is bulky, brawny, and brutal. It can decimate opponents by drawing them near and attacking with one of its mighty limbs or its Viking-size teeth. 

Physical Appearance 

In Dragons: Rise of Berk, the Submaripper egg appears to have a dense, round, solid core, which is surrounded by a transparent layer of liquid, which is coated by another membrane. Suspended in the substance appears to be several gas bubbles. The egg has a main solid color and v-shaped stripes of a different hue.  

 Hatchling to Adult 

The Submaripper is a massive dragon. It is said to have teeth the size of Vikings. In addition, it has an unusually large head-to-body ratio for a dragon, and a rounded head and snout. It has several lobs and nubs on its back, along with stripes along its body. The Submaripper has short necks and wings. It also has frog-like legs with webbed feet. The Submaripper can be best described as being similar in appearance to an eel with legs (as well as a few traits similar to frogs). It has various wattles and kelp-like structures that line its back and hang off its legs and sides. 

A Titan Wing Submaripper turns dark green in color. Its snout and stripes are yellow, and its back is a darker shade of red. Its heart-shaped spines are bigger and it has grown some on its feet as well.

Abilities    Whirlpool Vortexes 

The Submaripper has the ability to create a whirlpool by sucking the nearby water into its mouth. It is powerful enough to suck down large ships or dragons that are around the size of Scauldrons and powerful enough to pull dragons that are above the water, although it appears to be less powerful underwater, as Hiccup is able to hold on to a rock and not get sucked into its maw. Some Submarippers like Belchfast, are able to reverse their suction ability and instead expel water over vast areas. 

Tidal Waves 

Though this ability hasn't been seen, the Submaripper has been stated to be able to create massive tidal waves in order to drown its victims by slamming its massive body onto the water's surface. 

The Submaripper is said to be able to vomit the shipwrecks it has ingested as harpoon-studded debris. However, this ability was never seen.

Strength and Combat 

The Submaripper has proven to be an extremely strong dragon because it was able to take on a Titan Wing Shellfire by using a full-body tackle on the larger dragon. Underwater, the Submaripper can carry the weight of a large ship in its mouth, for Shipsbane could hold the weight of the cauldron with Hiccup inside, all while carrying Toothless on its tail to reach the surface. 

Hunter

The Submaripper has proven to be quite an effective hunter, as it was able to devour ships, people, and dragons quickly, after using its powerful whirlpool vortexes.

Endurance and Stamina

The Submaripper is shown to be able to take multiple of Toothless' plasma blasts without showing any sign of being stunned or damaged by the hit.

Speed and Agility

It is shown that the Submaripper is able to move much quicker in the water than the Shellfire as well as making faster turns. It was able to evade a Shellfire's attacks with ease.

Aquatic

Being a Tidal Class dragon, the Submaripper is able to hold its breath for long periods of time underwater and swim with ease at a high rate of speed.

Intelligence

When the Submaripper realized that Hiccup was the one who freed it and that he was drowning inside the diving bell, it returned the favor by bringing him and Toothless to the surface and placed them on their ship.

Stealth

Despite its size, the Submaripper is quite a stealthy dragon, as it was able to sneak up on a Shellfire surrounded by sunken ships without any of the people or dragons around noticing.

WeaknessesGas Bubbles

The Submaripper exhales gas bubbles that have a foul odor, which can alert other creatures of its presence.

Physical Illness 

As with most dragon species, Submarippers are susceptible to the Dreaded Dragon Flu, according to Marena in "Sick Day". 

Behavior and Personality 

Submarippers are aggressive and territorial, unwilling to let anything get close to them, whether they are humans or other dragons. They spend most of their time sleeping on the bottom of the ocean, but they can be woken by the slightest movement in the water. Despite their hostile nature, Submarippers are grateful to those who help them, and will not hesitate in returning the favor. 

While it is unknown if a Submaripper can be fully trained, it can be tamed to a certain extent. If one helps or saves a Submaripper, the dragon will stop being aggressive and will even return the favour. The Submaripper's undying loyalty will have been earned.
