I just really love how the nightlights look... I think Danny would love them. However if we were going into what dragon he would have, I definitely think he'd have a snow wraith (affectionately named Frostbite)
Yandere Platonic Bewilderbeast being raised from an egg by a viking woman
Sure! I still need to rewatch HTTYD but since this is not a specific Bewilderbeast, I can do a concept. I still made Darling gender neutral though as it does not change the story I don't think....
Sorry if something is OOC! Hopefully it's not, I tried to keep it vague which should work as this is a rarer species. Most of it is HC.
The dragon was given the name Boreas due to me not wanting to type Bewilderbeast a thousand times. Also, Boreas is a male Bewilderbeast. I'd love feedback :)
Yandere! Platonic! Bewilderbeast with Viking! Darling
Pairing: Platonic/Animal/Pet-Like
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Possessive behavior, Accepting mortality, Desperate dragon not wanting to lose his rider, Cryogenic freezing, Vague if darling is dead or not, Threats.
Wild Bewilderbeast on their own are rare.
There's also only been maybe two cases of tamed Bewilderbeast for one reason or another.
You may have found the egg in the arctic somewhere and decided to take it in to study.
Upon finding the egg you placed it in a safe space within your home to raise.
Not many have seen a young Bewilderbeast and the egg seemed to have no dragon looking after it.
Taking up the job you decide to study the climate needed to raise a Bewilderbeast.
Since dragons and vikings began to coexist with one another, dragon studies have been conducted.
However, Bewilderbeast barely have any research done due to their rarity.
You spent most of your time sketching out the egg during the first few months.
Your home is near glacial waters on Berk.
A decent area to raise your new dragon.
When the spiked dragon egg hatches it wakes you from your slumber.
The moment you see the young Bewilderbeast emerge, you give a smile.
The young dragon isn't that big... yet.
It was comparable to that of a pug in size.
Other vikings wonder how you plan to take care of such a dragon.
Most vikings have something smaller than... well... a Bewilderbeast.
While things may be fine now...
What will you do when it grows?
To that you say... you'll find out.
For the first part of your Bewilderbeast's maturity you keep the dragon in your house.
The smaller dragon follows you everywhere.
His favorite time is when you fish, the dragon nudging you for food.
Due to the dragon's nature you name him Boreas.
Boreas was given his name due to his love of frost lakes and the out of control freezing water he keeps blowing around.
Boreas sees you as his parent.
Even when he became the size of a great dane dog, the size where you try to train him, he lumbers around you with excitement.
You learn that most of your training with Boreas occurs in the water.
Boreas has no wings and is a tidal class dragon, leaving you to train him in swimming and hunting instead.
You have to be careful as the freezing water would harm you if you were clumsy.
When Boreas was still able to fit in your home he was reclusive towards other vikings.
His species is usually non-aggressive, but it appeared he grew territorial.
The growing beast often grunted at you to stay in your home.
You have to ease him by rubbing his face, growing tusks not yet pointed.
He had to get used to people and other dragons....
At night Boreas would either block your home's door to prevent anyone from coming in or he's sleeping in the middle of your home.
It was a pain to convince Boreas he had to start living in the water instead of your home.
He was getting too big and probably needed to start an ice nest at some point.
Many on Berk heard Boreas's roars and whines as you tried to get him used to staying in the water.
Some would complain... but your journal full of Boreas's growth was important.
After this, years passed.
Boreas grows more in the water, soon towering over many homes on Berk.
Everyone knows him as your dragon.
A young dragon prince who'll have his own kingdom some day.
Bewilderbeast have the ability to control and provide for dragons, that's why they're seen as royalty.
The unfortunate thing is... Boreas will take awhile before fully hitting adulthood.
Even with him at this size... you had aged to your 60's.
You were coming to terms with the fact you'll... die soon.
Boreas notices how distant you become when looking at him, your dragon.
You reflect in your journal on all the times you rode Boreas across the freezing waters and cared for the young beast fondly.
You stare at the nest he created from the dock.
The spiked icicles glimmer in the sunlight... a beautiful sight made by your dragon.
You smile softly before Boreas sits in front of you, body covering your view.
"Boreas." You command, the dragon staring at you expectantly. "You are aware I won't... be here anymore, right?"
The dragon doesn't entirely understand your meaning but the grim look on your face tells him enough.
The dragon makes a groaning noise before sinking into the water.
He wants you to ride him.
Softly you get onto the dragon you raised from an egg and allow Boreas to take you to his nest.
The dragon places you on a platform in his nest, allowing you to sit.
The dragon then roars softly.
"... Boreas, why did you bring me here?"
With a soft growl you realize what he means.
"Boreas, you can't- I promise I'll find a successor to be your new rider. You can't do this...!"
Boreas has a hesitant look in his eyes.
The dragon refuses to lose his rider.
You can barely defend yourself when Boreas breathes freezing water upon you.
By the time the assault ends you're cryogenically frozen to the dragon's nest.
A frozen look of fear on your face.
Berk assumes you've died due to your age.
Not many try and attempt to enter the nest of Boreas either.
Mostly because those who try to enter are met with an aggressive and territorial Boreas, the dragon with no owner threatening any with death if they try to enter.
Boreas accepts no other rider.
The Bewilderbeast decides a solitary life is all he wishes for now.
That's what many on Berk assume, at least.
In reality, Boreas has a rider.
He has one rider.
You're his rider... whom he keeps in his nest for decades in a frozen sleep.
In the dragon's mind you never left him... you're still his rider and he's still your dragon.
Danny is rather incensed, but it’s absolutely nothing compared to Tucker and Sam.
Not only are they children, again, despite being ready for freaking college (which he had worked so hard throughout the summer, what with his grades thanks to ghosts) literal hours before, but they’re also in a completely new place.
And now they’re toddlers! Toddlers! Two or three at most! It’s horrible, they’re all so tiny and clumsy and practically none of their powers work and-
Is that a dragon?
There is now a dragon sniffing at them which is heavily concerning. Um, hey, please don’t eat them? Pretty please? They will growl and bite at you- oh Ancients that’s a lot of dragons.
i just saw a post talking about this absolute beast
and i wanted to point out my favorite similarities to this absolute beast
the Red Death and the Bewilderbeast.
they’re both rare alpha species dragons. which i think is really interesting.
they’re referred to as the queen and king respectively.
what i think is the most interesting is that there are 2 of them (alpha type dragons), but one is distinctly more powerful than the other.
with the red death, it would seem only dragons of her nest are loyal to her. she has an influence over them yes, but she cannot fully control them. let alone have control over any dragon she’d like.
whereas the bewilderbeast can fully control any dragon he feels like. Like full-on mind control do what I want, not just “hey get me some food or i’ll eat you”.
another cool way that dreamworks connected them is the sound they make. and i’m not talking about roars.
i’m talking about this background ambient noise. it’s so faint you can barely hear it, but if you listen closely you’ll hear that it’s the same sound.
listen carefully to these clips.
this sound is what controls the dragons, and it’s the exact reason Hiccup covers Toothless’s ears in httyd 2.
In HTTYD2 and THW respectively there’s dragons that are doing things because others are forcing them to. In THW it’s the Deathgrippers and in HTTYD2 it’s the Bewilderbeast.
Both groups are being forced to do these things to our protagonists, Hiccup and Toothless. Yet instead of punishing the humans responsible for this, they punish the dragons.
But let’s take a step back, get some context.
In HTTYD2 we meet two Bewilderbeast; Valka’s and Drago’s. One is kind and free to do whatever he wants, the other has chains, scars and is being abused by Drago.
In HTTYD3 we get another new species; Deathgrippers. They have a venom that kinda does what it wants when the plot demands it but one thing has always been consistent is the fact that Grimmel controls the Deathgrippers with this venom. He even says “They’re dragon killers. Drugged into obedience with their own venom. Not even your precious Alpha could control them.”
So now that we’ve established that, let’s return to the big picture; humans controlling dragons to do bad things, yet humans get no blame for this.
In HTTYD2 and 3, when it’s time to take out the big bad it’s always the abused/mind controlled dragons taking the fall and gravity taking out the villain who orchestrated this mess.
Toothless and the other dragons literally maim the Bewilderbeast (and he wasn’t even fighting back) until he leaves.
Toothless and Hiccup kill the Deathgrippers, two due to inaction (letting them drown while being connected to Grimmel’s quad copter) and four more when Toothless electrocuted them.
You could say they didn’t have the time, but Hiccup and Toothless aren’t our only characters. Let Valka and Eret do it, since they got so little focus in this movie.
Even with the Bewilderbeast, Hiccup or Toothless could’ve snapped Drago’s stick and killed him. Instead of maiming the Bewilderbeast.
