“Night Furies can’t fly long distances without rest.”

— Grimmel the Grisly.

The “Night Fury killer” everyone.

You know, what is the evolutionary purpose of night furies having retractable teeth? How does this serve them with survival?

THERE IS LEGITIMATE PROOF OF A SECTION ON NIGHT FURIES IN THE DRAGON EYE!!

In ‘Gone Gustav Gone’, Hiccup is checking different combinations in the Dragon Eye. He said he was going to try finding the Night Fury section; says to use the Monstrous Nightmare gem, the Night Fury switch, and obviously having been activated by Toothless’ flame. 

We all remember this moment, the Dragon Eye goes dark afterward. 

It wasn’t that there wasn’t anything to find. I want to believe it’s because they only had a single lense. There hadn’t been the lycanwing debacle, and they found another lense at the end of that very episode. 

Maybe, Hiccup needed more lenses to have seen the section, maybe another dragon fire from one of the Strike Class. But I’m going to fucking bring it up again. The section Viggo opened the Dragon Eye too at the end of Maces & Talons pt 2. WHICH HAS THE LITERAL IMAGE OF A NIGHT FURY. 

Yes I really am just stating the obvious. I outline because we were purposely deprived of this information, just because they wanted to keep the Night Fury mystery “resolvement” for The Hidden World. Yet they still fucking left us hanging and with unanswered questions.

But yes, and I KNOW I said it in another post (or who knows could be one in my drafts, my memory’s lacking): 

THE DRAGON EYE HAD TO BE THE ONE SOURCE OF INFORMATION WHICH WOULD HAVE HAD INFORMATION ON NIGHT FURIES

(pardon me while I cry) However we will never know this information because Hiccup’s story has come to an end.

oh my god if they really do backpedal on toothless being the last night fury i will be....pretty mad, actually. like what even is the point of half the shit in the third movie then. like y'all know that i think toothless being the literal last of his kind is a dumb idea and that they didn't do anything interesting with the idea to actually justify going with it but just. this isn't going to erase all the stupid shit in the third film and other parts of the franchise that they made when they were committed to the idea of toothless being the last. it's just too late to truly go back on this and actually fix things things i feel. (and i doubt that the people who actually like that toothless was the last are going to be too happy that they're going "lol actually" either.)

also just imagining that after 13 years.....13 FUCKING YEARS we might finally get to see another night fury but it will be in the nine realms with its ugly models and $5 animation budget is depressing. dreamworks why

Night Fury Weaknesses

Here is a list of realistic weaknesses for the Night Fury species as a whole that disregards both how OP the movies and shows made Toothless and the demonstrably false weaknesses that Grimmel claims they have in THW.

Their underside is smooth and flexible to make them more streamlined. This makes them vulnerable to bite and stab attacks, as well as parasites.

They are susceptible to injuries such as torn muscles and ligaments due to their acrobatic flight style, which can lead to damaged wings and tails.

The thinner membranes, such as tail-fins and base-fins (or secondary wings), are vulnerable to tearing damage if the Night Fury crash lands.

It is more than possible for a Night Fury to break bones if they collide with something at high speed and don’t have time to brace themselves first.

Despite being quite strong for their size, Night Furies cannot sustain a long brawl and can be taken down if their stamina for the fight runs out.

Their black scales absorb heat, meaning they would actually struggle more in hot climates, not in cold climates as certain people claim.

They can have strong allergic reactions to foreign substances entering their bloodstream, such as venom or poison from dragons or hunters.

Certain conditions like wind sheer or turbulence can make it difficult for them to fly, particularly in thunderstorms with the threat of lightning.

I would pay money for David Attenborough to voice a documentary on Night Furies.

And any other dragon breed really from How to train Your Dragon.

But Night Furies are the most important

I still love these. Pines family (and Wendy) as Night Furies. I tried to stylize them so they would actually look like Ford, Stan, Dipper, Mabel and Wendy

So, I'd very much like people's headcanons of this. Because I can never quite come to a solid solution.

But I'm still on about this: did other people in the Archipelago or at least those we meet in the HTTYD-verse know what a Night Fury looked like?

There's so little canon-proof. All we pretty much hear is the same. It's a Night Fury, thought they were all gone. Then there was HTTYD 1 with "No one's ever seen one and lived to tell the tale." So that provides us a Berk perspective. But for the Archipelago and the Great Beyond, we don't know how well someone else knew a Night Fury.

And with what we saw from Hiccup and Toothless' interaction, the Night Fury is practically invisible in the darkness of a night sky. The black-scaled species is of the fastest flyers. You can't take a Night Fury by surprise, they know you're there before you're revealed.

The movies, provided us a tell-tale sign of a Night Fury. When Toothless saves Hiccup in the arena, Gobber cries NIGHT FURY. Because of the shriek his wings make in a stark descent. HTTYD 2 also had the same when they swooped in to rescue Stormfly. Eret recognized the shriek, which alerted him to the arrival of a Night Fury, yet not as much evidence as to him ever having seen one before.

Dagur however, knew a Night Fury from the moment Toothless swooped into the arena. Viggo, at the very least knew that Toothless was of a rare species. And the closest we get is Grimmel, saying he saw one, and killed it where it slept. Then entered his life-long goal of hunting every single one down. (Which admittedly is still fragile to me)

I guess where I wish there was more, is someone else describing, oh I had never seen one before, or just one from a distance, or even something where it was a Night Fury that caused a traumatizing event.

What did you think of the last two episodes of TNR S4? The plot was about what I expected, but I did like the alpha(?) Night Light design

In some ways, this two-part episode has been waiting to happen since Gift of the Night Fury, where the lack of other Night Furies got highlighted the first time. It's been waiting to happen since ROB's We Are Family where Hiccup was hoping to chase down Toothless's family. It's been waiting to happen since THW had us meet one Fury, but not provide the specific awe my imagination has been envisioning for a decade: the inevitable moment our characters come face-to-face with a flock of Furies.

Of course, some HTTYD fandom members are extremely attached to Night Furies as a concept, and will draw fanart of OCs, or at least alternate designs of Night Furies, Light Furies, Night Lights, and all things Fury. I suspect many of them have had the same fantasy fly through their mind as I have about meeting a Fury flock up close. But because I'm not one of those people who rests my love of HTTYD closely on the Night Fury, I am both worse and better suited for enjoying the TNR S4 finale.

I'm worse suited because I'm not the Fury fanatic that this episode would want to appeal to. There's less chance of my emotions catching in my throat finally seeing this come to be. But I'm better suited for the same reason: there's fewer emotions to disappoint if TNR doesn't hold up to standards. And we all know that TNR has not been a show of great standards - and I'm someone who hasn't minded that.

I'd say I had a mediocre reaction to the two-parter, feeling both mild yays and nays to it. Like many fans, I was offended and appalled when the human cast encountered Hiccup's somehow-still-intact prosthetic and flung it around. What the heck!!! That was too far even for me!

But for a brief moment, watching the full Night Light family take flight, I was teleported back to a younger version of myself: the self that dreamed for a full Fury family flight and desperately hoped that'd happen in HTTYD 3. Bad animation quality aside, questionable dragon design aside, for that short moment, this decade-long expectation got met.

I didn't care that TNR had us wait with anticipation for the Fury reveal in the sense that Thunder, in parallel to Toothless, was mourning a scarce family. But I do like that TNR gave us a full flock of Night Lights because that's absolutely what should be the case - this is no longer a "last of their kind" situation, and so we got to see them!

The believability of carrying that much black is low genetics-wise and designs could've used improvement (why did Mom have to have EYELASHES and why did we color code "white" as female???), but there were also designs with potential, and I accept them and like imagining what they'd look like on a bigger budget. I liked the roughness of the father's scales, as though they've gotten thicker and grayed with age. It looked odd with the limited budget and the light rendering in particular, but the concept is something I get behind.

And the Elder? The Elder? Best Fury of TNR, hands-down. Honestly, best Night Light of the franchise.

For starters, he had the best design of the furies pattern-wise. I like how the blacks and whites faded into one another rather than being a stark black jutting against white. I liked his particular pattern being both understated and regal, as well as realistic and common to real animals (once Night Light pattern ideas get too wild, I quit caring for them). I liked his scars and tears on his wings - this is a dragon of great experience. The animators needed to fix his chest size, but other than wonky proportions there, he gave a grandeur to the Night Lights I quite liked.

And it got me thinking: I wish the Elder, rather than Thunder, had been Tom's dragon. Too quickly stories lean into youth, including trying to make animal companions the same age as their owners. We did that with Tom and Thunder. But Thunder doesn't hit in part because he has virtually no personality. The Elder does. How cool would it have been if our main character's dragon was this suspicious, slow-to-trust, grand old man? Think of how the development of their relationship could've gone! When Tom was riding on the back of the Elder, I found that fantastic, and for a brief moment could enjoy the idea of the Elder and Tom being the pair instead.

The thing about the Elder is that he evokes a concept I wish the main HTTYD movies never left: this is an Offspring of Lightning and Death. This is a wild animal of great power. The reason Toothless was lovable and compelling in HTTYD 1 wasn't just "awww cute pet." It's because he was a real, complex creature of majesty. Real creatures can be silly and dorky, too, and it's fun to get to know a goofy side as he becomes familiar with Hiccup. But Toothless should never have been close to the category of "cute animal sidekick used for marketing," as he increasingly became as the years passed. Dare I say it, he was Flanderized. The Elder reminded me of the dignity that made me stare with appeal at Toothless in the first place.

Amidst all the questionable plot choices and questionable designs and questionable graphics, that one sentiment is worth it, ain't it?
