Description

Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston are fraternal twins, teenaged members of the Hairy Hooligans tribe. They are constantly arguing with each other, often to the point of physical violence, though never seriously enough to separate them (sometimes they enjoy it, if only to get some feeling back into a spot that has gone numb). In addition to their nasty tempers, they are both wild, reckless adrenaline junkies, and share an equal disdain for reading and a preference for the same weapon (a double-ended spear) in combat.

In the movie

Joining the same Dragon Training class as Hiccup, at first both twins delight in taunting Hiccup over his poor performance (though neither of them have much success either). Later, however, when Hiccup displays an amazing talent for subduing the dragons, they both become his avid fans (often pushing and shoving each other to be the first to talk to him). Ruffnut, in particular, seems to develop a crush on him and flirts with him (before Astrid pulls her away).

To confront the Red Death, the twins mount a Hideous Zippleback, which fits their fractious relationship, the two naming the dragon Barf and Belch. Each head seems to agree with one of the twins in particular- Ruffnut taking Barf and Tuffnut Belch, and they ride it to great effect in the final battle and afterwards.

In DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk

Both Ruffnut and Tuffnut are dragon trainers of the Dragon Training Academy. They experienced a brief falling-out in episode 15: "Twinsanity", when their conflict reaches the point where they attempt to issue separate orders to each head, Tuffnut in particular noting that he was tired of the two of them always sharing the same things, but eventually reconciled when Barf and Belch were in trouble, accepting that they would always share their dragon even if they could find other individual interests.

Trivia

• Tuffnut is a character from the book How to Train Your Dragon.

• They appear to be based off of Jackal and Hyena from Gargoyles
