45 parts Ongoing On the storm-ravaged island of Berk, where Vikings pride themselves on brute strength and battle scars, a girl named Hiccup Haddock is anything but ordinary. Slender, sharp-tongued, and mechanically brilliant, Hiccup is the daughter of Stoick the Vast, the hulking chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe. But where Stoick sees dragons as enemies to be slaughtered, Hiccup sees... something more.
When Berk comes under attack by a swarm of dragons, Hiccup seizes her chance to prove herself. Armed with a homemade bolas launcher, she brings down the most elusive and feared dragon of all: a Night Fury-so fast and so deadly, no one has ever seen one and lived to tell the tale. But when she finally tracks the fallen creature in the woods, wounded and helpless... she can't bring herself to kill it.
What follows is a secret friendship that changes everything.
As Hiccup nurses the dragon-whom she names Toothless-back to health, she uncovers truths that shake the foundation of everything she's ever known about her people, her father, and herself. But even as her bond with Toothless deepens, she is forced to hide the dragon from a village that would destroy him on sight, all while navigating the brutal world of Dragon Training alongside her fellow teens.
Among them is Eirick, a fiercely competitive Viking boy with something to prove and a quiet fire in his chest. Though he begins as Hiccup's rival, her strange new tactics in the training ring-and the quiet confidence she begins to show-leave him both suspicious and intrigued.
As Hiccup learns what it truly means to understand a dragon, she finds herself pulled between two impossible paths: win her father's approval by becoming a dragon killer, or risk exile-and worse-by protecting the creature who has become her closest friend.
And all the while, something terrible stirs beyond the fog-an ancient threat more powerful than any dragon Berk has ever faced.
