Httyd Rtte - Blog Posts

a httyd species I made up

You can never sneak up on it from above or below, due to the eyes on its head and wings. as it's not a strong flyer it prefers to glide from tree to tree. They are nocturnal. How it catches prey is that it uses a light inside the end of its tail that makes it resemble a human torch or dragon. It then moves it in a way to resemble either one depending on what it wants to catch. When the victim gets close it stabs it with a venomous spike inside the light, making the victim paralysed before it grabs it with it's many tongues pulling it up to its mouth, and crunching down on it with it's practical wall of teeth. As they cannot breathe fire, they rely on this trick, but if they are somehow caught off guard by a dragon or human, they have the ability to hypnotise them with the eyes on their wings just long enough to get away. Its species lives in Berserker island's forests, and due to it the Berserkers have since made it a rule not to travel at night.

Apologies for being gone so long btw

She grim on my born 'til I viggo

"hiccup and astrid dating" this "hiccup and astrid dating" that, but lets talk about BEFORE they were together

im currently rewatching rtte and im noticing a bunch of details people DONT TALK ABOUT!!! hiccup and astrid always standing or sitting next to each other, hiccup being the only one to comfort astrid when heather leaves, hiccup and astrid just being the bestest of buds and always hanging out, astrid talking about hiccup when he's not there, even just the smallest of details like just glancing at each other. the twins are doing something stupid? astrid turns to give hiccup a raise of the brow, and hiccup just shrugs.

AND LETS NOT FORGET IN LIKE THE FIRST EPISODE, HICCUP AND ASTRID SIT NEXT TO EACHOTHER ON THE BEACH WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS ASLEEP, JUST TALKING WHILE GAZING AT THE MOON!!!! these are the purest details never mentioned and it makes me sad :(

edit: "i can't imagine a world without you in it" BEING SAID BETWEEN THEM, WITH NO ROMANTIC FEELINGS BEING SAID YET? I ACTUALLY CAN'T THEY'RE EVERYTHING😭❤️

Im giving Viggo a child again

Shoutout to the outfit I got inspired by

Congratulations Viggo for your 3rd child created by me

Uaahhh idk what to keep posting here, so I present my darling horrible baby eating child; Undertow. She’s kinda vaguely a httyd oc and is all I’ve drawn for like the last year

"The Vampiric Bloodletter"

"Out of all the dragons I've seen and studied, along with the one's I've only heard of in passing conversation, the Bloodletter wasn't one I thought truly existed. Tales of a bright red dragon with ten eyes that drank blood...? Seemed too much like an old story to scare children but it seems this nesting year at the colony has proven me wrong.

I noticed the new egg amongst a clutch of Monstrous Nightmare eggs, an odd oblong shape with a dark red shell amongst the pale orange-pink eggs certainly stood out. Moving the egg wasn't an option so I left it. Come hatching day I kept a close eye on the nest, only to find an entirely unique dragon to hatch with the Monstrous' brood. At first I figured it was a case of hybridism but that theory was dropped quickly, after all just one hybrid offspring in a nest of six didn't make sense. Not to mention the tiny-tooth's features, ten eyes that all were a dark black, unique extra digits that I assume are opposable to a degree and a notable blade on the end of it's tail.

So I can conclude that the Bloodletter is in fact a living and breathing dragon species, a colony or nest parasite from what I can tell but also it's behavior is still unique. From what I have observed the nestling has been acting like a Monstrous Nightmare, mimicking their vocal calls and behaviors which is fascinating. For now I see no need to try and relocate the dragon, nor do I think it's surrogate mother would allow me and I personally would like to keep my good record with her.

This will at least give me time to study it and hopefully pull together some proper information, since I fear the number of these dragons may only be in single digits... I've also noted while looking through some other old local legends that the Bloodletter shares some shocking resemblance to the few descriptions of the Lycanwing... I can't help but wonder if they're connected somehow, but that's research for another time." - Excerpt from "The Nature of Dragons", an extensive series of books and journals by a man named Salamander.

Class: Mystery

Size: 6 to 7 feet tall, with a wingspan of 10-11 feet at Broadwing stage - Titanwings are roughly 12 to 14 feet tall with a 20-22 foot wingspan.

Preferred Food: Dragon blood or incredibly fresh meat along with specifically certain organs of most creatures.

Status: Critical - Maybe only a handful of individuals exist on the surface world, that or they are just really good at staying away from people.

The Vampiric Bloodletter is noted for it's vibrant colors and unique features that assist with defending itself and securing it's specialized diet, due to the low amount of sightings and encounters little is truly known about them by humans. They are parasites in truth, spending a lot of time in flocks or colonies with other species so they can feed easily and also mimicking the dragons around them in terms of mannerisms for survival.

Their numerous eyes negates any blindspot they would normally have, along with this a forked tongue and heat sensing pits along their upper lips makes for the perfect tracking equipment. They have opposable digits on all their limbs that are topped with claws that are much like switchblades, used for further opening the bites they leave on other dragons or for defense - same to be said about the blade on their tail.

It's vibrant coloration is a classic animal warning system of "I'm toxic, stay away!". Seeing as they possess a highly potent venom which actually changes throughout their lives.

Tiny-Tooth to Shortwing: They can use this venom as a projectile to blind much like spitting cobras and generally deter threats to them. It's noted that it also stings if it makes contact with human skin. It has mild anticoagulant properties when administered via a bite along with slight numbing, think vampire bats.

Broadwing: The venom glands develop fully, producing a highly anticoagulant hemotoxin that causes numbing and disorientation even causing dragons to become incredibly drowsy. In humans it causes severe hallucinations, supposedly making one think that they're turning into a dragon.

Titanwing: Not much changes aside from more potency and the ability to even render some dragons unconscious for a certain amount of time after being bitten. Though at this stage they can afflict humans with something much worse, it's unknown how exactly it works but if a human is bitten by a Titanwing Bloodletter there is a chance they will be afflicted with the curse that is becoming a Lycanwing - if they survive the initial bite and the first shift that is...

WOO! Done at last!!

The Vampiric Bloodletter is one of my very few fanmade httyd species and I love how they came out!! Also if you couldn't tell these guys are my explanation for the Lycanwing legend, basically these guys are the ones that turn people to Lycanwings and somewhat go off of the description of the one in the story told by Gobber in RTTE. I have some more notes on them so uh if anyone has questions I will gladly elaborate on my fellas!

Also I will say: Anyone is free to make one of these fellas just please credit me! The lineart of the image is under the cut and can be used as a base.

Been a hot minute hasn't it! College kicking my ass at the moment, I offer some older concept sketches, got a few to post from back when I watched Way of the Water

Concept art of the day! Meet the Grave Singer. They live in the rocky shores that cause a lot of ships to wreck and beach. They tend to nest in the hull of ghost ships and their songs are known across the Archipelago. Legend has it, their cries are those of people lost to sea.

I want this thing to be real !1!!!1!!

I don't dabble much in Tidal class dragon species despite the endless potential of the sea, so here's the Icebasher! Based on ice breakers on ships, these dragons of the northern seas sometimes migrate towards warmer waters for mating season. Their horn allows them to cut through ice sheets as a way to mark territory and prepare hunting grounds.

Honestly have the urge to make another account and have it be a incorrect quotes/Headcannons/small stories- for the How to train your dragons, the main six dragons because I noticed there is a lack of dragon content for them. And I want to do it.

I'll update if I do it.

Update: I did it.

So you know I created a mixture of a Storm Cutter and a Night Fury, but I haven't thought of a name for this cross breed, so pick a name (p.s. not a name for the dragon. We have a name for the dragon. We need the name of the breed)

Me personally I like Stormfury

did some colored art of Anni and Snotlout (some angst)

Pose bases from @mellon-soup

images below cut

So um, i realized i never posted any of my Lycanwing OC art (except for the first colored one) to this blog, ive only posted it in httyd communities lol

so here, have some art

if you want the story behind the last two, just tell me, i'll make another post

but yeah, this is my OC (and Snotlout cus i ship them together cus they're cuteeee)

Im back with another Lycanwing :d

ignore the bottom drawing, that was just a messy drawing to get a feel for where i wanted her markings, scars, etc. to be and how i wanted her body to look

anyways ya, enjoy! :D

So umm.. i have some thoughts on the Lycanwing legends from HTTYD

this is just me being a nerd but like the Lycanwing bite had to have started somewhere, right? the first Lycanwing didn't just POOF exist. What if that bite, the ability to turn a human into a Lycanwing, what if that's some kind of genetic mutation in dragons? like normal dragons with that genetic trait have the ability to turn humans into Lycanwings.

Also can i just say how much of a missed opportunity the Lycanwing legends are? The fact that they decided to make it just a myth honestly disappoints me, that could have been such a cool part of the HTTYD world

anyways that's all from me, have a nice day everyone! <3

Dragon memes pt. 2 (Hiccup Time (+Dagur, Astrid, Heather)bc he's my favourite and I said so)

Dragon memes by Me

Me and bro celebrating after beating the dating allegations

he has no energy and two very insistent boyfriends

Modern au hiccup

‘I know, bud…

I wouldn’t leave you either.’

Need a runaway Hiccup au, where he runs away after the events of the first movie, riders and defenders of Berk. His entire village doesn't know about the whole Toothless thing and has been lying through his teeth for years, how he lost his leg, why he's always tired, why he is barely around.

He still has Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug, Barf and Belch they are like his highly coordinated/trained but still stupid and dumb as fuck ride or die gang, they just don't have riders.

He runs away and forms the Edge that slowly gets bigger as he stumbles upon Heather and befriends Dagur again. Also, Viggo survives his attempt of trying to sacrifice himself for Hiccup and joins the small, slightly batshit insane group.

Hiccup teaches Viggo on ways his tribe can thrive without having to harm or sell dragons.

So now Hiccup is leading this even more ragtag group, that is more or less just Viggo trying to keep his sanity while the others keep egging each other on.

The group that he ends up fighting with in the other 2 movies plus a few

what if i made httyd merch…. what then

httyd rtte fandom how active are yall do you guys want acrylic charms,,, some stickers perhaps

All my Human!Deathsong drawings :)

The cloak design took forever why did I do this again?

The last two drawings actually have more variations, but I put the two I thought looked the best. The list of names has all the current name candidates

Oh and I put this in a previous post, but this little interaction is actually the first time I drew a concept from the au

She's coming to see him at night, and gets concerned when she sees him asleep and without his prosthetic (nor did she understand it was a prosthetic, that's probably pretty bizarre to a dragon outside of Berk's little flock) and doesn't realize that no, he didn't get hurt since you last saw him :(

So then I imagine Toothless is kinda like, "Oh! Oh no, I'm fine, see! I just need a little help to fly higher!" and I managed to make myself cry over dragon romance while making this I'm done for.

So I've got this httyd au idea that I've been sitting on for awhile now, I guess it could be considered as a rewrite or something but I don't see it that way. Anyway here's some ideas for my Colourful Nights AU, I'm still working out the factors so it's not the best.

There's going to be more of my thoughts under the cut (aka the usual Hauntley rambling)

First and foremost, the idea to give Grimmel a night fury comes from this post on reddit

Before seeing this I had 100% planned to just... Not have Grimmel exist in the Colourful Nights au? I kind of hate his whole- thing?

I had the idea of Grimmel seeing what Drago did and deciding that where the man failed was not in trying to control dragons, but instead that he didn't try to control powerful dragons specifically. I know that Toothless is supposed to be an endling, but I think the idea of Grimmel slowly building his own dragon army but with dragons he considers powerful and having a few night furies is cool so. Maybe he kept a couple of night furies back during the mass fury hunts, because having them bend to his will makes him feel powerful? Or maybe he only had one. I'm not sure if I'll even keep it but I like the idea.

For my light fury design (I call her Clearscales), I liked the idea of her being a night fury with some sort of genetic mutation, and I'm not sure if I want to keep the disappearing act or not? I like it but I don't know if it would still work if I gave her darker scales, but also! Would I be able to call her Clearscales still? :( That's a very important part, because I've gotten attached to the name.

I also had an idea that relates back to a fact about the Dramillion titan in rtte, it has the ability to camouflage itself like a changewing because they're distantly related, implying that titans have access to traits the normal members of their species don't have.

So what if Toothless' lightning isn't an inherent night fury skill, but instead a trait of night fury titans? Maybe it's due to a possible distant relation with skrills? I always liked the idea that the "lightning" part of "Offspring of lightning and death" was because their blasts look somewhat like a the result of a lightning strike (at least in the 1st movie), but maybe it's also because a titan was witnessed doing this, and because the second and third movies imply that after the first transformation, the titans don't look any different from the normal members, people just assumed that it was something they could all do, and ontop of everything else, it led to a mass panic and hunt?

I'm all over the place and am in no way coherent, but that's my dumb little idea, if you're reading this I can't believe you actually read what I wrote, or scrolled down through it at least. Thank you :)

I'm alive! And I come bearing art!

I've been getting scared to post OCs lately because I think no one will like them, but that's all I draw basically and I want to share my art, so y'know what? Here! Fanart but mainly my dumb little guys.

Help.., it's the Ocs... They're in my head and I can't get them out..

I hate this muttonhead. Idiot. This thing just smiles constantly and makes everyone uncomfortable. Like, what's it's deal?? Why is it always in the most suspicious places and casually a blink away from the Big Important events but no one actually notices??? Why doesn't it have EYEBROWS?? Fucking weirdo.

- Snotlout or Astrid, probably. Sometimes Gobber.

But really, it's EVERYWHERE. The boat cementry? It's right there stealing stuff from the ships. Eel Island? it was looking forward making eel stew and happened to stumble on Toothless shooting like crazy. Viggo's first appearence? Whistle was right around the corner! That time Astrid got the Scrouge of Odin? It was on the island, herding random sheep. How. He's not even a shepherd. During the visit of the Berserkers in RoB? It was actually the first time we see it, and it was a soldier who almost got thrown off Dagur's ship. ON THE SERIES FINALE? RIGHT. THERE. IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE "COMPETING" WITH JOHAN AND STARTING IT'S CARREER AS A MERCHANT.

It was even on the second movie, casually navigating while there was a literal BLOODSHED between two Bewilderbeasts on the island nearby. How does it keep doing this. The only time it approached Hiccup was on the third movie to ask him to make it a Scauldron armor. That's it. It didn't even talk, it just shoved him a drawing of the armor on his face and stayed the rest of the movie on the background until it got what it wanted and kinda moved in?? It never left after that and made everyone deeply uncomformable after the incident-

Also, gotta love *Stomp* a lot, he's such a non-flying patootie. It got very annoying to be stomping on the wooden ground to call him, so everyonejust calls him Stomper hehe.

I'll talk more about it once I bring my second and last Oc, my Shayla.

Until then

Pyro Out1

alright, super hot take, but I personally feel that RoB, DoB and Rtte feel way more canon than THW and I'll die on that hill.

Maybe it's because I watched the series first and then the third movie on the theaters, but I can't help but feel the movie did everyone so dirtyyy (especially Snotlout and Ruffnut)

Going on a small rant but Tuffnut and Ruffnut aren't as dumb as they make people think?? They worship Loki, it's been confirmed, and he was smart. They think out their plans, and know more languages than no one! They're tricking people into believing they're stupid because that's what loki would have done :3
