Other notes: Is completely sterile. Krogan has had any and all reproductive organs completely removed and voided. (Is Castrated, for example. Had womb and any feminine parts scooped out besides what is left of his vaginal canal. Any testosterone or estrogen that he needs to simply live and exist are created via the system that allows him to eat via sunlight.
Most of his organs have been replaced with artificial ones for the sake of compatibility. He cannot eat anything harder in consistency than Ice Cream and if he does, he will vomit. His body still rejects anything that has grains or vegetables in it, with the only thing it will take being mashed up puréed fruits or meat. Preferably fish due to its soft texture.
To avoid being over fed the solar panels will close down on his back and simply stay like that until he needs to eat again. Of which, sedative is released into his body and he sleeps until he is done (sometimes after if the anesthesia doesn’t completely clear out of his system. This behavior is ONLY activated when the chip in his brain doesn’t feel any kind of strain being exerted on the body.
When he climbed his way out of the facility all he had on his back was a slightly torn hospital gown. Krogan relaxes into the ease of running over a few days and spends about a week curled up in the remnants of an abandoned shed on the outskirts of the mega city before he eventually moves on and out into the wasteland beyond.
There are some cities in between his journey where he stops and rests for longer periods of time, but never enough to be routinely spotted by residents of said towns, usually holing up in old unused warehouses and anywhere he can to get away from the elements. After about a month, he makes it to a forest, and then decides to weasel his way in there. There is no shelter in the undergrowth except for the occasional hole in the ground. But he decides to stay in a cave long term until he can find another abandoned building to take refuge in.
Krogan has only killed one person. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. His death was personal.
Krogan picking Snotlout's hut because it has an 'S' on it (which he decides stands for 'Supreme Leader' is so FUCKING funny and I think that says a lot about a side of Krogan we don't really see a lot
He is fucking terrifying but valka has been, from what you can infer, destroying killing and maiming drago’s hunters for years.
I think he would’ve only seen her in person once and seen she has a bewilderbeast like drago and operates alone (with the dragons but you know) pretty much single handedly holding back an army?
Hiccup is being held captive and Viggo and Krogan are having a little argument. They are either exes that still have feelings for each other or are in a relationship but Krogan is getting annoyed with Viggo’s Hiccup Obsession.
They’re fighting and Krogan says something along the lines of ‘just kiss him’ and Viggo, who is also tired and annoyed, pettily responds back with ‘you kiss him’ and Hiccup finally cracks and goes ‘just kiss each other.’
Today Krogan and I had a day off, one that while Johann seemed to oppose it, he and I both managed to sway his mind on the matter. It's the first break I've had since my coming here, and while there could've been better days to have this moment of rest, I am glad, in some ways, that it was today.
Mostly because today gave me a chance to think.
As we both left Johann's workspace, Krogan asked me about how the Dragon Eye was working, likely trying to pry out exactly what had happened a few days prior when it crunched in his hands and I… well, took it to examine the damage. I told him my findings; That it was old boar grease that had severely hardened inside the mechanism during its stay in the volcano. Where the boar grease came from, I have my suspicions, but in any matter I found myself beginning to rant. Justifiably so.
He didn't say much of anything, looking back. He watched me as I explained the cause, how it explained how the Dragon Eye upon recovery had been… fussy, how I'd taken it apart to clean it and found far more of the hardened residue than should even be possible and, eventually, he listened through my opinion on its condition and how it had been unjustly treated by Hiccup and his meddling-
I digress.
At the time, I had simply talked, and he'd simply paced alongside of me, sometimes he'd say something and I'd continue on, but now that I think of it, this… behavior… there have been other times that I've talked and he's listened, for whatever reason it was. I honestly don't think he knows what I'm talking about most of the time, but in any case, he always listens with this amused smirk. Sometimes he'll surprise me with a comment of his own, which still catches me off guard when he listens that well to my ramblings.
It's… nice, actually… that he listens…
And that set me thinking…
Why?
Why does he listen?
If it were simple amusement, he wouldn't have to say a word, much less take from the conversation and add to it. Could he be listening just to learn? Is he trying to subtly pry information about myself for later? Lately he doesn't seem malicious, which is a turn I could've never expected. We were at eachother's throats not two months ago, yet now he listens? Is there any reason to this change that perhaps I've not considered?
I don't exactly know. In some ways, I'm almost terrified to consider other options. A man like him… I don't dare say the word 'friend'... not yet, though a part of me wishes it so, that my distrust just may be my old habits dragging me down.
I've thought about this, and the more I do, the more I realise…
It might be something more...

A short story from Viggo's pov, light Krogan/Viggo, very beginning lol
There are so many things I love about these two episodes. The first thing is the relationship we see between Krogan and Viggo. Its a mutual one with not so much animosity but rather tolerance for one another. I love the flashback scene of Viggo in the volcano is one of my favorite parts we see him in. Not only that but the reaction of Astrid seeing him alive is absolutely perfection!
Mini comic… this is an idea I’ve had banging around in my head about @amyrafiercebladeartz and i’s headcanon that Krogan suffers from chronic night terrors and will sometimes crawl in bed with Viggo to cuddle because the body heat seems to help with making them go away and because he feels safe with Viggo:)
(He’s begging Viggo to let him stay there nonverbally in the first panel lmao. Thinking this takes place during like one of the first few times Krogan actually does this.)
This headcanon is old and also something we cooked up in an old rp. (If i remember correctly 😭)
Slides in a @duoatomica and a @ziggityzigg tag too bc fluff:)
I'd just like to point out that all of the villains who use dragons in any way in HTTYD control them with fear, or venom or something except Krogan?? His flyers don't have a bond with their dragons and he's no stranger to the subjugation of dragons or anything, but I think he's the only villain in the entire franchise that has a real bond with a dragon while he's still a villain?? I just think that says a lot about Krogan and definitely serves to set him apart from the others for sure
