Deathgripper Headcanons (How To Train Your Dragon)

This is a character study on the predatory species: Deathgrippers. They are mentioned in the third movie of HTTYD THW and are primarily characterized as subjugated dragons under Grimmel the Grisly's control. By the end of each chapter I hope to introduce a perspective where the strongest and the most brutal species does not equate to them being evil. To take their lack of depth for face value is a missed opportunity to add meaning, interpretation, and character.

Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge the greater scale of the HTTYD fandom. I may not know all of you, but I wouldn't be the storyteller I am without the countless ideas and perspectives we exchange through media.

Most of my takes are supported by analyzing scenes, information from the HTTYD wiki, and research by relating them to real world animals. In these chapters im sure that I will make a mistake at some point. I apologize for any lapses in judgement, I'm not an expert.
