I feel like the red death would look super cool in your artstyle??
Ask and ye shall receive!
Dragon #47 - Red Death
Tumblr media
Once I set the sea alight with a single fiery breath
Once I was so mighty that I thought my name was Death
Sing out loud until you're eaten, song of melancholy bliss
For the mighty and the middling, all shall come to this...

Which has the cooler name and design to you: the Red Death or the Bewilderbeast?
Red Death.
100%, no questions asked! She is the queen of my heart and my favorite main HTTYD antagonist!
I love the Bewilderbeast too, their designs are nowhere near bad, but I will always favor the Red Death no matter the comparison!
She is criminally underrated and underappreciated, she deserved more screentime and content!
Imma make more art of her!

doodles and concept sketches for httyd modern (?) scifi serial killers AU lol
Hiccup is a serial killer, believing he is dispensing bloody justice and-
alert possible spoilers but u propably don’t care
-accidentally drags Astrid, who tried to expose his alter ego, into it. And then, most likely, the rest of the gang joins too. But they only kill bad people, so that's a little better???
and they are teenagers

Why I love how the first movie dealt with Hiccstrid
Early on in the first movie, it becomes clear that Hiccup has feelings for Astrid, although he never directly says so. His actions and the way he looks at her speaks for itself.
Hiccup also says that he hopes that by hunting dragons, he might find himself a girlfriend, but he never specifies that it is Astrid he’s interested in.
Tumblr media
Still, Hiccup's crush on Astrid is not the main focus of the story, in fact, romance is brought up very little. While he attempts to impress her and the others during training and flirts with her once, he never becomes blinded by his feelings for her, not even after their romantic flight which leads to his feelings for her being requited.
He doesn’t do this
Tumblr media
This
Tumblr media
Or even this
Tumblr media
To impress her.
Even though Hiccup initially had a crush on Astrid and later developed deep feelings for her, his motivation to become a hero was never driven by his feelings for her, and that’s not something you can say about all protagonist in movies.

So, I cannot stop thinking about this. Petlike yandere Red Death, but raised from an egg. Perhaps reader is a dragon rider, who was exploring the volcano post HTTYD1, since I can't imagine Red Deaths are anything but rare. Thank you very much!
Yeah, this was my take on baby Red Death! I apologize for weird formatting.
Yandere! Red Death raised by Viking! Darling
Pairing: Animal/Pet-like
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Overprotective behavior, Territorial behavior, Possessive behavior, Alpha dragon, Isolation, Violence, Generational yandere concept, Not entirely yandere/overprotective, I had thoughts with this, Forced companionship.
Tumblr media
There was only one known appearance of a Red Death in the series.
It's said they live 2,000 years and lay 3,000 eggs before they die.
It's unknown if the last Red Death ever laid eggs, considering how we never see another Red Death, we can assume it didn't.
However, for the sake of this concept, let's say one egg manages to survive on Dragon Island.
As a dragon rider you had decided to do an expedition on Dragon Island and found the volcanic egg.
As an experiment you were probably instructed by Hiccup to carry the large egg to a secure location.
After all, not much is known about The Red Death.
This would be the perfect opportunity to research the new dragon type that's only been encountered once.
The egg is no doubt kept near a volcanic region but you are sent to oversee its development.
Being picked for such a task is no doubt exciting at first.
Something about this concept to note is the fact your Red Death won't be fully mature.
It may even take your full lifetime before your Red Death even hits what could be considered a teen.
The baby dragon will get big, sure, but not as big as its mother.
I imagine when you have it the size is only going to be about a medium size dragon.
So it will be rideable, but unable to reproduce or use its full abilities.
When you raise the dragon you are careful to note behavior and diet.
You feed your Red Death red meat and keep them in a hot area.
You have them visit volcanic areas for lava baths.
You are quick to note down everything you learn about the dragon while caring for them.
You even grow attached to them, while they attach themselves to you.
Admittedly it's hard to take notes when your Red Death, the size of maybe a large dog at the start, keeps nuzzling into you.
Red Death's can be a ruthless and controlling species, but a baby doesn't have the ability to control dragons yet.
They'd be demanding and needy, like little divas.
But they aren't capable of full control yet.
You are sure to report all your findings to Hiccup as you care for your Red Death.
While they are still small you simply watch and feed them while researching.
When they are a size where you can ride them you work on teaching them how to fly and carry you.
The dragon is certainly not agile, they're more tanky than anything.
Your Red Death is a brute due to their body type and personality.
Also, wouldn't it be problematic if they learned to control dragons once riding age.
Unbeknownst to you, your Red Death is a dragon that will be taken care of for generations.
You know how you have to put a tortoise or parrot in your will due to their lifespan?
Same thing would happen with you Red Death due to their ridiculous lifespan.
Imagine if they became yandere for your entire bloodline?
They just know your children and their children are related to you, so they defend them.
It may all be fun and games researching your Red Death now, but the truth is you're stuck with them.
They see you as their parent and treat you like family.
So while you can ride them now, soon they'll continue growing.
When you leave this world, they'll still be here.
They may even stumble their way to your grave and sit there.
I feel this Red Death is more caring due to being raised by a human.
Some Vikings are till wary about you as they know tales of the original Red Death.
Even more so when your dragon starts exhibiting alpha behavior.
Yup, you heard me, Red Deaths are similar to Bewilderbeasts since they both act like dragon leaders.
They can command dragons, hold territory, have a sense of authority... etc.
So you run into some problems when your dragon starts roaring to command smaller dragons and claims territory,
They're still affectionate towards you but are expressing dominating behavior.
They even summon smaller dragons to protect you.
Think of this, as you fly on them they usually have some sort of dragon flock around you both.
With their methane breath type they can cause flash fires in an instant.
Your Red Death may move you from your home when they start nesting.
You would be forced to live in a more volcanic area so your Red Death can nest in the crater.
Although, that sounds like a future generation problem.
Your kids/grandkids would have to deal with that.
I actually think the idea of a generational protective dragon is interesting.
Your kids and so on are simply told they have a draconic protector, your Red Death.
As a result, this dragon will defend them with their life.
A protective Red Death is no joke either.
They're capable of swallowing dragons whole when they hit a certain age, which is actually their main food source other than whole sheep and other creatures.
So you are stuck with this dragon right up until you die.
While your Red Death is behaved now, it's mostly because they are young.
They're overprotective and sometimes possessive, but not quite an uncontrolled problem yet.
You think it's cute.
Although other Vikings can see the issue before you can.
You have no idea what you've done, have you?
When they grow older, your kids will suffer the consequences of your actions.
Your Red Death loves you and wants to protect the family you build with them...
Even after death, your Red Death fulfills such a wish... at the cost of those around it.

Gustav: How would you guys deal with a toxic friend?
Fishlegs: Tell them how you really feel.
Hiccup: Slowly distance yourself from them.
Astrid: Engage in a 1v1 sword battle and if they lose they have to stop being toxic or pay the price.
Gustuv, being handed a sword: … well heck.

The following is concept art for the Red Death. It had more of an ocean coral themed design, this was because it was originally meant to be a sea dragon.

Viggo Grimborn
Tumblr media
15/10
Obsessed with this man. Easily the best HTTYD villain in the franchise and he creates the best conflicts in the series by far. I love the way he mirrors Hiccup’s character, I could honestly go on for a while about how much better he is than all of the other villains in the whole franchise lol
Krogan
Tumblr media
7/10
His overall vibe is super cool and I really enjoyed that episode where he and Viggo were looking for ways to kill each other. His design is awesome

3/10
He was alright, but I was never really scared of him. I liked how he killed Stoick, and he put Hiccup in an interesting situation, but other than that, he just didn’t do it for me
Grimmel the Grisly
Tumblr media
0/10
Knock-off Viggo Grimborn. ‘You’ve never seen anyone like me’ yeah, alright. I hate his face and did not care about him. He shouldn’t have been the last straw for sending the dragons away, honestly
Spitelout Jorgenson
Tumblr media
-100000000000000000000000/10
I hate him. This garbage man is an antagonist and you can’t change my mind. The Worst.

The fact that throughout 3 movies and plenty show seasons we NEVER find out where the Kaiju-sized dragon from HTTYD1 came from is… really spooky. Like, they documented history for ALL dragons, but this one just… is.

i just saw a post talking about this absolute beast
Tumblr media
and i wanted to point out my favorite similarities to this absolute beast
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
it really is the little things 😌

Httyd au in which Hiccup gets to be the feral dragon boy he was destined to be.
Basically, what if the underwater scene in the first movie when Stoick frees Toothless from his chains during the fight with Red death didn't happen? (Im talking about that scene before Stoick tells Hiccup that he's proud to call him his son)
I think there was some form of understanding between Toothless and Stoick in that scene. When Stoick pulled Hiccup out the water and broke Toothless free he showed Toothless, for the first time, that he wasn't the enemy here. Not anymore.
What if that had never happened?
What if Toothless managed to break the chains, all by himself, fuelled by his panic when he saw Hiccup drowning? What if Hiccup managed to cook up a last minute plan to free him, using all those sharp bits of metal and debri to do the job quicker, before he lost breath?
In both cases the fight would probably go like how it did in canon, minus the heartfelt moment Hiccup shared with Stoick before the battle.
Hiccup would still get knocked off by the Red Death's tail, and Toothless would undoubtedly go after him, having to bite his leg off in process, etc etc.
But,,,,when Stoick finally finds them after the battle, worried out of his mind, thoughts consumed by the fact that the last thing Hiccup might've heard from him was him declaring that he wasn't his son, he does not encounter a trusting night fury. Toothless does not unfurl his wings to show him his son.
Instead, he glimpses his son under it's wings as it shifts, standing with no little difficulty, with Hiccup's limp form between it's forelegs as it growls and hisses at him.
Toothless absolutely mauls anyone daring to approach them, and it eventually has to be subdued by the entire gang + their dragons. It isn't an easy feat, despite Toothless also being injured and drained by the battle.
In the end, they manage to get Hiccup the medical care he needs, the dragons ferry the vikings back to Berk, and it's all a very slow process, especially with the feral protective Night Fury stubbornly guarding Hiccup. Astrid is the only one able to approach them.
And that trend continues,,,even long after Hiccup has recovered. Toothless makes every effort to drag him away from people, and on the rare occasion he isn't successful, he just spends the whole time threatening the poor sods foolish enough to come too close.
As a result, Hiccup spends much of his time away from people, except for Astrid and the gang and most of his time is spent around dragons, learning about them and just being Hiccup being feral.
He goes of flights further and further away from Berk, trips lasting longer and longer, and Stoick fears one day he might never come back. He talks to the beasts in their own language, with hisses and clicks and chirps, the draconic sounds bleeding into his Norse. The Night Fury follows him like his own shadow, protecting him far better than Stoick ever could.
He rues the day he disowned his son.
For it seemed as if the Night Fury knew what he had done, and took Hiccup as it's own hatchling.
