Biography[]
Dealing with the Green Death[]
The next day, after Thor'sday Thursday and the arrival of the Green Death, Baggybum and the other Vikings of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe and Meathead Tribe gathered to discuss ideas to rid Berk of the giant dragon. He was involved at yelling at the dragon, which failed, and later was seen discussing better methods of yelling. At that time, his own son Snotface Snotlout burgled the hairy underwear off of him as he stood talking. His knickers were to be employed in Hiccup's idea of feather-bombing the Green Death, as well as the Purple Death.
Quest for Grimbeard's Treasure[]
Baggybum, along with many Hooligans, set out to the Isle of the Skullions at the suggestion of Alvin the poor-but-honest-farmer, greedy for gold. His son, Snotlout, finds the treasure, unofficially suggesting that Snotlout is the true heir of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. He argues with his brother Stoick on the way back to Berk about who should get the treasure and also get the Stormblade. The brothers fight. However, when their ship gets taken over by Outcasts, the brothers fight against their common enemy, back to back.
Supporting a Blood Feud[]
The Romans seek to stir unrest in the Inner Isles with a 'Fiendishly Clever Plan'. By kidnapping the heirs of the Hooligan tribe and the Bog-Burglar Tribe and blaming it on each other, the Romans hope to start a distracting war, so that they can capture all the dragons in the area. Stoick, having heard about this through Hiccup before he was kidnapped, tries really hard not to become angry and irrational and declare a blood feud with the Bog-Burglars. Big-Boobied Bertha, however, had no such foreknowledge, and boards Stoick's ship, The Blue Whale, to cause confrontation. Baggybum pipes up and hopes that Stoick bashes Bertha's face and nose and engages the blood feud. Ultimately, Hiccup, Camicazi, and Fishlegs crash-land on a desk in a Roman Observation Balloon.

Physical Appearance[]
As his name entails, Baggybum is very large. He is described as "about the size of a killer whale who hadn't had much exercise recently." in How to Be a Pirate. Images of him show a light-colored, almost fluffy-looking beard.
Personality[]
Baggybum appears to be a rather contrary brother to Stoick, but typically when advocating for his own son, Snotlout. Baggybum was proven to be ambitious, hoping once to use how events indicated that Snotlout was the true heir of Grimbeard the Ghastly to take over as Chief. As a result, this seemingly leaves his relationship with his nephew, Hiccup, strained to say the least and Baggybum openly criticized how Hiccup lead the Hooligans during Stoick's brief absence. Nonetheless, Baggybum deep down has been shown to care for his family and despite his argument with Stoick, when the Hooligans were captured by the Outcasts soon after, the two brothers fought side-by-side. Furthermore, when Stoick was made a slave and Snotlout was declared chief, Baggybum, alongside Gobber and several others, spoke out against the unjust actions taken out by Alvin out of loyalty to his sibling, something Baggybum did not regret, even when he was made a slave because of it.
The course of events, furthermore, led to Baggybum's relationship with his son being strained to the point where Baggybum openly told Snotlout how he had grown ashamed of the fact that he was Snotlout's father after seeing the acts his child had taken out against their tribesmen. Baggybum, along with the rest of the Hooligans, subsequently chose to support his nephew, Hiccup, who Baggybum had previously distained. In the end, however, Baggybum was proven to be deeply distraught when he learnt of Snotlout's death, but was able to remember his child with pride after discovering the sacrifice he had made.
