HookFang

Hookfang is a Monstrous Nightmare. In the movie, he is 61 feet long with a 68-foot wingspan. According to Snotlout Jorgenson, Hookfang weighs around 5,000 pounds but this might be a lie used to impress others. Hookfang is a perfect example of a typical Monstrous Nightmare. He has large shiny grayish-black horns that curve slightly outwards on the edge. He has bright reddish-orange scales with darker spots scattered around. His underside is a light tan, and he has yellowish-orange eyes like most other dragons. His color scheme is fairly common in the movie, and Snotlout has even mistaken other Nightmares for him. Hookfang's horns lack extra antlers coming off of them, which does help to distinguish him from other Monstrous Nightmares seen in the film. He seems to be fully grown, and no Nightmares have yet been seen that are notably larger than him, except the Titan Wing Monstrous Nightmare and possible extremely large Monstrous Nightmare that was seen at Helheim's Gate as its size was bigger than Stoick's ships. Like his rider, Hookfang is somewhat of a bully and highly aggressive. When angered or irritated, Hookfang often flames up his body to express his emotions. Like most dragons, Hookfang likes Fish- albeit not with too much salt. He is also said to eat yak dung, which he also loves rolling in. Though Hookfang and Snotlout's relationship may look uncaring and cold at first sight, they had proved to be very close to one another. Though Hookfang often bullies Snotlout by disobeying him or attacking him, he has been seen caring for Snotlout as few examples are when Spitelout scolded Snotlout. Hookfang tried to comfort Snotlout but said Viking wasn't thankful for that. When Hookfang was willing to sacrifice his own life for the cure to his illness for Snotlout's life, or when he saved him from the Whispering Deaths and Speed Stingers. Snotlout once said the last face he wanted to see besides his own face was Hookfang's face, though Hookfang himself didn't seem very thankful for this since he took a snap at his rider and then left him. He was shown to be upset when he thought the Screaming Death had killed Snotlout, and gave Alvin a lift to Berk for showing his gratitude because the former Outcast Chieftain saved Snotlout's life. Hookfang and his rider are very in sync when it comes to personality. Both have shown to be proud, reckless, slightly selfish, incredibly stubborn, don't respect authority, and pick fights for the heck of it. Much like Snotlout always teases some of the other teens (mostly Hiccup and Fishlegs), Hookfang is shown to pick up fights with other dragons, such as Toothless, Barf and Belch, Fanghook and Stormfly. The reason for the latter was because both of them were influenced by the Dragon Root in "A Tale of Two Dragons". However, they both always manage to come through when needed. Both Hookfang and Snotlout have a rivalry with Hiccup and Toothless as seen in "Thawfest". He had been seen to wing flap Meatlug by accident and tail whip her in the second film, without showing any sign that he cared. He disliked Fanghook at first for being a wild dragon but decided to help him in saving Hiccup and Toothless from Dagur the Deranged. Hookfang loves having his head rubbed, according to Snotlout. He is even shown to be mostly mischievous, as he enjoys biting his rider or uses his fire on him to get back on as his amusement that he even teases him during flight by diving at full speed to scare his owner. Hookfang is quite easily distracted and sometimes unobservant, even when something critical is happening. These cases typically involve his Rider, so there may be a wilful component. In "In Dragons We Trust", he doesn't seem to notice his rider falling through the air until the last moment, and expresses genuine surprise. He then crashes into Mildew's House to catch him in time. At the end of the episode, he is distracted by a passing seagull when Snotlout is saying farewell to him. Later in "Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man", Snotlout calls to him for assistance, but he is distracted by a leaf fluttering by. One thing that does set him apart from his rider, however, is their varied sense of propriety. When it comes to doing the right thing, Hookfang tends to display better manners than Snotlout; in fact, he would even reprimand Snotlout for being rude and/or selfish at certain times. Fire Combustion and Manipulation:Ignite Body in Flames:Hookfang can set his entire body on fire, a unique ability among Monstrous Nightmares. This power is useful both for defense and offense, as it allows him to become a living fireball that can cause massive damage to enemies or obstacles. Fire Breathing:Like most dragons, Hookfang can breathe fire. His flames are powerful, and he uses them for both direct attacks and to intimidate foes. Extreme Heat Resistance:Hookfang is highly resistant to heat and flames, including his own. His natural scales protect him from extreme temperatures, allowing him to survive and thrive in intense fiery conditions. Flight and Agility:Hookfang is a highly skilled flier, capable of quick and agile maneuvers in the air. This agility is especially effective in battle, allowing him to dodge attacks and perform aerial combat maneuvers with ease. Strength and Size:Being one of the larger dragons, Hookfang possesses impressive physical strength. His large size and powerful limbs make him formidable in close combat, able to smash through obstacles or overpower enemies with brute force. Loyalty and Intelligence:Hookfang, like many dragons in the series, shows a high degree of intelligence and loyalty, especially to his rider, Snotlout. While not a "power" in the traditional sense, this connection allows him to work in harmony with his rider during battles or challenges.
