DreamWorks Dragons is an American computer-animated television series based on the 2010 film How to Train Your Dragon. The series serves as a bridge between the first film and its 2014 sequel.[2][3][4]
A one-hour preview consisting of two episodes aired on August 7, 2012, on Cartoon Network,[5] with the official premiere of the series on September 4, 2012.[6] A total of 40 episodes aired on Cartoon Network during the first two seasons, subtitled Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk respectively while a third season entitled Race to the Edge debuted on Netflix on June 26, 2015.[3]
DreamWorks Dragons was announced by Cartoon Network on October 12, 2010.[7] According to Tim Johnson, executive producer for How to Train Your Dragon, the series was planned to be much darker and deeper than DreamWorks Animation's previous television series spin-offs, with a similar tone to the movie. DreamWorks Dragons was the first DreamWorks Animation series to air on Cartoon Network rather than Nickelodeon.[8]
The series features Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, and David Tennant reprising their roles from the How to Train Your Dragon film. New cast members includes Julie Marcus and Andree Vermeulen as Ruffnut (previously voiced by Kristen Wiig), Zack Pearlman as Snotlout (previously voiced by Jonah Hill), Chris Edgerly as Gobber the Belch (previously voiced by Craig Ferguson), and Nolan North as Stoick the Vast (previously voiced by Gerard Butler).
Plot
Taking place between How To Train Your Dragon and How to Train Your Dragon 2, Riders of Berk follows Hiccup as he tries to keep balance within the new cohabitation of Dragons and Vikings. Alongside keeping up with Berk's newest installment — A Dragon Training Academy — Hiccup, Toothless, and the rest of the Viking Teens are put to the test when they are faced with new worlds harsher than Berk, new dragons that can't all be trained, and new enemies who are looking for every reason to destroy the harmony between Vikings and Dragons altogether .
Characters
Dragon Riders
- Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (voiced by Jay Baruchel[9]) – Protagonist of the series; often the chief negotiator between human and draconic characters. He and his dragon, Toothless, share the strongest bond of all riders and dragons. He is mechanically gifted, having invented a prosthetic caudal fin for Toothless and various other dragon riding equipment. He lost the lower part of his left leg in the fight with the Red Death in the series' feature film, but had it replaced with a prosthetic. Since the beginning of the second season, Hiccup's weapon-of-choice is a multi-purpose shield.
- Astrid Hofferson (voiced by America Ferrera[9]) – Astrid is Hiccup's close friend and the unofficial second in command of the dragon training academy. She has a strong bond with her dragon, Stormfly.
- Fishlegs Ingerman (voiced by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) – One of Hiccup's close friends and followers; has an encyclopaedic knowledge of dragons. He has formed a very close relationship with his dragon, Meatlug.
- Snotlout Jorgenson (voiced by Zack Pearlman) – One of Hiccup's friends; reckless, quarrelsome, and clumsy. His dragon is a wyvern-like construct named Hookfang.
- Tuffnut Thorston (voiced by T. J. Miller[9]) and Ruffnut Thorston (voiced by Julie Marcus[10] in Season 1, Andree Vermeulen in Season 2 and 3) – Male and female fraternal twins; followers of Hiccup, who quarrel constantly among themselves, and over commands given to their two-headed dragon Barf and Belch. They are often regarded by the rest of the teens as somewhat stupid and crazy.
- Toothless – An extremely rare male of the Night Fury species, befriended by Hiccup, and the only dragon that cannot fly without his rider, having lost his left tail fin in the feature film. Has dark black scales, retractable teeth, and shoots blue/white plasma bolts which can create light or fire. He is the fastest, most intelligent, and rarest dragon on Berk.
- Stormfly – A blue, female Deadly Nadder dragon befriended by Astrid. Like Hiccup and Toothless, Astrid and Stormfly display exceptional teamwork. She and Toothless share a friendly rivalry in most of the competitions Hiccup and Astrid devise. In addition to her magnesium-fueled fire bursts, Stormfly can launch spines from her tail.
- Meatlug – A brown, female Gronckle who bonded with Fishlegs. Because of her husky size and short wingspan, she lacks the aerobatic maneuverability and speed of the other dragons. She and Fishlegs have a very close, nurturing relationship. She also can eat a particular combination of iron ore and rocks and regurgitate a highly prized metal known as "gronckle iron".
- Hookfang – A red, male Monstrous Nightmare, ridden by Snotlout. Hookfang has a habit of attacking Snotlout or abandoning him when Snotlout tries to assert dominance, and does not always pay attention to Snotlout. In battle, Hookfang covers his skin with his flammable saliva and sets it afire, without harming himself; this ability is almost never used when Snotlout is riding him.
- Barf and Belch – A green, male, two-headed Hideous Zippleback jointly ridden by the twins, normally with Ruffnut sitting on the dragon's right head, named Barf (which exhales explosive gas), and Tuffnut sitting on the dragon's left head, named Belch (which can ignite the gas). The heads are usually agreeable, but can have difficulty flying when their riders disagree, and sometimes therefore quarrel.
Other inhabitants of Berk
- Stoick the Vast (voiced by Nolan North[11]) – The Chief of Berk and father to Hiccup; immensely strong, fearless, fierce, and possessed of shrewd judgement, compassion, and adaptability. His chief interest is the protection either of his son, or of his subjects. As the series progresses, Stoick is often found more in favour of dragons on Berk and does go out of his way to defend and protect them, especially after the initial attack of Alvin the Treacherous and bonding with his own dragon, Thornado. Thornado departs to care for three orphaned baby Thunderdrums at the end of the second season, but Stoick acquires a new dragon named Skullcrusher in the third season.
- Gobber the Belch (voiced by Chris Edgerly[6]) – The blacksmith of Berk, Stoick's closest friend, and Hiccup's mentor. He is a veterinarian for both the dragons (though primarily as a dentist) and the livestock of Berk, and acts as a voice of reason for Stoick, a voice of experience for Hiccup, and sometimes a mediator between the two. He is something of an engineer.
- Mulch (voiced by Tim Conway[6] in Season 1 and 2, Tom Kenny in Season 3) – One of the Viking farmers responsible for gathering and producing food for the village. Unlike his partner Bucket, Mulch is more intelligent and independent, and is therefore charged with keeping an eye on Bucket. He is missing his right hand and his left leg and has had them replaced with a hook and a peg leg.
- Bucket (voiced by Thomas F. Wilson[6][10]) – A rather simple-minded and soft-hearted farmer, and a talented artist. Like Mulch, Bucket lost his right hand and has had it replaced with a hook.
- Spitelout Jorgenson (voiced by David Tennant) – Snotlout's father. Spitelout takes pride in his son's achievements, but seldom forgives his failures.
- Gothi – The village's shaman. As a mute, she communicates by gesturing or drawing lines and hieroglyphic-like pictures, translated by Gobber or Fishlegs.
Villains
- Alvin the Treacherous (voiced by Mark Hamill[10]) – The villain of Season One and an antihero in Season Two. Exiled from Berk for an unspecified treachery, he plots to displace Stoick. In the season one finale, he learns how to control dragons and earns the trust of a 'Whispering Death' dragon; and after initially allying with the Berserkers, he is betrayed by Dagur and co-operated with Hiccup and Stoick to defeat the Berserkers. Afterwards, Alvin and his followers departed in peace.
- Savage (voiced by Paul Rugg) – Savage is Alvin's right-hand man, and later that of Dagur. In Season Three, Savage continues to follow Dagur after they escape captivity.
- Dagur the Deranged[12] (voiced by David Faustino[10]) – A secondary villain in Season One, and a recurrent villain from Season Two onwards; Dagur is the leader of the Berserkers, and becomes obsessed with hunting and catching Toothless. He is later revealed to be long-lost brother of Heather. In season four, he joins the Dragon Hunters.
- Vorg (voiced by Brook Chalmers) – Vorg is the herald of the Berserkers.
- Mildew (voiced by Stephen Root) – Mildew is a cantankerous, spiteful, aged Berk local who raises cabbages and retains a strong hatred of dragons. Mildew is almost always seen with his pet sheep Fungus. He is widely disliked, but capable of rallying riots against the dragons, should the situation allow it; this is usually foiled by Hiccup. Mildew is the only Outcast loyal to Alvin after his defeat by Dagur.
- The Screaming Death – A huge red-eyed albino variant of the Whispering Death, re-united by with its imprisoned mother by Hiccup, and thereafter absent.
- Ryker Grimborn (voiced by JB Blanc) – One of the main villains of season four, he is the second-in-command of the Dragon Hunters.
- Viggo Grimborn (voiced by Alfred Molina) – Introduced in the finale of season four, he is Ryker's younger brother and the ruthless and cunning leader of the Dragon Hunters.
Secondary characters
- Trader Johann (voiced by Michael Goldstrom[13]) – Trader Johann is a seafaring merchant who visits Berk on occasion, and trades mostly in curiosities. He is an ally to Hiccup and the others of Berk.
- Heather (voiced by Mae Whitman) – A mysterious teenage girl found by the Viking youths. Although she was at first introduced for actions against Berk, her true motive, to rescue her parents from Alvin the Treacherous, proved her loyalty. She returns in Season Three and bonds with a Razorwhip dragon named Windshear. She is later revealed to be Dagur's long-lost sister and pretends to be in league with him in order to get close to him and the newly unveiled dragon hunters. She leaves to parts unknown after her plot is uncovered by Viggo.
Dragons
- Toothless – An extremely rare male of the Night Fury species, befriended by Hiccup, and the only dragon that cannot fly without his rider, having lost his left tail fin in the feature film. Has dark black scales, retractable teeth, and shoots blue/white plasma bolts which can create light or fire. He is the fastest, most intelligent, and rarest dragon on Berk.
- Stormfly – A blue, female Deadly Nadder dragon befriended by Astrid. Like Hiccup and Toothless, Astrid and Stormfly display exceptional teamwork. She and Toothless share a friendly rivalry in most of the competitions Hiccup and Astrid devise. In addition to her magnesium-fueled fire bursts, Stormfly can launch spines from her tail.
- Meatlug – A brown, female Gronckle who bonded with Fishlegs. Because of her husky size and short wingspan, she lacks the aerobatic maneuverability and speed of the other dragons. She and Fishlegs have a very close, nurturing relationship. She also can eat a particular combination of iron ore and rocks and regurgitate a highly prized metal known as "gronckle iron".
- Hookfang – A red, male Monstrous Nightmare, ridden by Snotlout. Hookfang has a habit of attacking Snotlout or abandoning him when Snotlout tries to assert dominance, and does not always pay attention to Snotlout. In battle, Hookfang covers his skin with his flammable saliva and sets it afire, without harming himself; this ability is almost never used when Snotlout is riding him.
- Barf and Belch – A green, male, two-headed Hideous Zippleback jointly ridden by the twins, normally with Ruffnut sitting on the dragon's right head, named Barf (which exhales explosive gas), and Tuffnut sitting on the dragon's left head, named Belch (which can ignite the gas). The heads are usually agreeable, but can have difficulty flying when their riders disagree, and sometimes therefore quarrel.
- Thornado – Named for having the power of Thor (Norse god of thunder and lightning) and the ferocity of a tornado, Thornado is Stoick's bonded dragon; he emits sonic blasts instead of fire. Stoick gained his friendship after helping him defend an injured friend from a pack of hungry wild boars. Stoick reluctantly releases Thornado late in Season Two so Thornado could care of three wild orphaned baby Thunderdrums.
- Torch – Originally discovered by the group in the forests of Berk, Torch is a baby Typhoomerang dragon, separated from his mother. Torch returns in season 2 as a full grown Typhoomerang, roughly twice the size of a Monstrous Nightmare, and helps Tuffnut escape a dragon trap and stop a deadly forest fire; but leaves Berk again.
- Scauldy – A full-grown aqua green Scauldron dragon discovered injured and trapped by the dragon riders in season 2. After several attempts to free the dragon prove fruitless, the group discovers the Scauldron has an affinity to the fish oils Ruffnut uses in her hair. Using this to calm the dragon while the rest of the group works to free it before it dries out and dies, they develop a bond and she eventually names the dragon Scauldy. Once freed the group notices that the dragon has a minor break in its wing making flight or swimming impossible. The group must assemble a makeshift wing splint while being attacked by a group of Changewings. Pressed for time, Ruffnut cuts off her own hair to finish the splint and the group is able to leave Changewing island safely with Scauldy.
- Whispering Death – A large spiked spherical dragon with a long tail, wings, and a nasty attitude. Is able to shoot spikes from anywhere on its body. Can tunnel through the ground as easily as it can fly in the air, and is therefore averse to bright light.
- Trained Terrible Terrors – The Trained Terrible Terrors are the dragons used for the competition between the riders in Worst in Show, reasoning that they were the best dragons to train to determine which of the group was the best dragon trainer, rather than their current performance being variable due to the different intellectual capabilities of their individual dragons. They later used their skills to save Meatlug from the Outcasts. Among the Terrors are Hiccup's Sharpshot and Ruffnut and Tuffnut's pair Butt and Head, who have been trained to head butt each other.
- Screaming Death – An enlarged offspring of the Whispering Death, the Screaming Death is white with massive fangs and a strong hide. It was a recurring adversary in the second season, attacking Berk with various other Whispering Deaths until Hiccup tricked it into knocking itself out. It went on to destroy various small islands in the Berk Archipelago until the Dragon Riders were able to lead other dragons in fighting it off. It ceased to be a threat when Hiccup discovered its mother, imprisoned on Outcast Island, and released it.
- Night Terrors – A swarm of small dragons resembling Terrible Terrors that the riders found on Dragon's Edge. Similar to moonfish, they are capable of forming themselves into a large shape, usually a gigantic dragon, but only when their leader is present. After some initial conflict, they bond with the Dragon Riders and become a native security force for Dragon's Edge.
- Skullcrusher – Stoick's second dragon, seen in How to Train Your Dragon 2. He makes his debut in the series attacking the residents of Dragon's Edge, prompting Hiccup to call on Stoick for help. Stoick is quickly impressed by the driven dragon, and the group later learn that it was trying to help them escape an incoming tsunami. Stoick is able to help Skullcrusher block the wave from hitting the base and bond with each other. Out of the 7 different Class' of dragons, Skullcrusher proved himself to be part of an entirely new class of dragon, so they decided on "Tracker" Class.
- Windshear – A female Razorwhip who bonded with Heather after being nursed back to health following a fight with a Typhoomerang. The two became partners on Heather's vengeance against Dagur the Deranged and the Berserkers.

Production
On October 12, 2010 it was announced that Cartoon Network had acquired worldwide broadcast rights to a weekly animated series based on the movie.[7] According to Tim Johnson, executive producer for How to Train Your Dragon, the series was planned to be much darker and deeper than DreamWorks Animation's previous television series spin-offs, with a similar tone to the movie, and would follow after the events of the first movie. This is the first DreamWorks Animation series to air on Cartoon Network; DreamWorks Animation's previous television series, including The Penguins of Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, and Monsters vs. Aliens, had aired on Nickelodeon.[8]
Although it was initially announced that the series would be called Dragons: The Series,[9] the Comic Con schedule announced in June 2012 revealed the new title to be Dragons: Riders of Berk.[16] The second season of the show was titled Dragons: Defenders of Berk.[17] At the end of May 2014, DreamWorks Animation announced that in spring 2015 the series would move to Netflix instead of premiering on Cartoon Network.[3]
Reception
Critical response
Dragons: Riders of Berk has received positive reviews. Brian Lowry of Variety reviewed the series: "The program is dazzling visually, and pretty effortlessly picks up where the narrative left off," although he noted the initial episodes' "lack of actual villains" and "not-particularly-stirring array of characters".[18] Mary McNamara of Los Angeles Times said that it "retains both the personality and production value of its progenitor. Dragons promise to be lively and entertaining, with great visuals of dragons swooping and soaring." She praised its look: "It looks pretty dang spectacular even by today's standards. It's so crisply drawn and fluid that a person of a certain age would be forgiven for wondering how on earth we survived with things like Scooby-Doo and The Perils of Penelope Pitstop."[19] According to Nielsen Media Research, episodes of the first season ranked on average #1 in their timeslot among boys 2-14.[20]

Video game
A 3D Unity-based in-browser game, titled Dragons: Wild Skies, was launched on August 27, 2012, on CartoonNetwork.com.[26] Players will go through a tutorial with Hiccup, and train a Deadly Nadder, before being able to free roam around the several islands in the Barbaric Archipelago, with dragons scattered around them. The player can choose to be a blonde/brunette male or female Viking, before setting off to explore the islands. To train a dragon, players must feed the dragons correct food before doing correct gestures to gain the dragon's trust. In the game, players do not die or otherwise fail. Players complete challenges to earn gold for buying tools to obtain food for training dragons. The overworld consists of six islands, each with a unique dragon to tame. The number of dragons and worlds to explore is set to expand over time, as the series introduces more and more places and dragons...[27]
