Personality |
Inquisitive and curious animals, their only downfall is their territorial in-fighting.[1] |
|
HAH! Factor |
SIBLING RIVALRY - They expend most of their energy fighting and competing with one another like bickering siblings.[2] |
|
AHH! Factor |
ENORMOUS FIRE BLAST - Though small, their fire blasts are so pin-point accurate they're more like sniper bullets than flame throwers.[3] |
The Terrible Terror is among the smallest of the dragons, but also one of the most feared. It loosely resembles the Common or Garden Dragon and is roughly the size of a small cat. The Terror can crawl into Viking homes, sheds, outhouses and shacks, attacking when its prey is least expecting it. The only warning a Terror gives is the hissing sound it makes just before breathing fire. It is capable of such pinpoint accuracy with its flames that it can be considered the sniper of the dragon world.
Hiccup learns from Toothless that dragons are easily distracted by reflected light on the ground, similar to a cat, and uses this to his advantage to lure a Terror back into its pen during Dragon Training. He also learns that dragons are not as fireproof on the inside as one might think when Toothless spurts a fireball into a Terror's mouth for attempting to steal one of his fish. Before it leaves, Hiccup tosses it another fish and finds that Terrible Terrors are not as fierce as Vikings claim they are after it curls up beside him to sleep. Seeing this makes Hiccup realise that everything the Vikings know about dragons is completely wrong.

They are like naughty little terriers and make a lot of noise.” Adds Sanders, “They are annoying, like seagulls.”"[5]

Trivia Edit
- The growling and other sounds the Terrible Terror make are actually based on a purebred Chihuahua from Cotton Grove.[6]
- The Terrible Terror was originally designed to be a more faithful take on the original Toothless from the book series, but the creators of the film felt that it would be best to leave them as a seperate species and make Toothless the more threatening Night Fury to give Hiccup's story a sense of tension. This is referenced in the Filmmaker's Commentary of the DVD release, where they relate the "tug of war" between Toothless and the Terror as a battle between Toothless' original and new incarnations.
- The Terrible Terror is One of the dragons to have appeared in the series, but not be in Wild Skies the others are the Fireworms and Boneknapper as the Terrible Terror and the Fireworm are to small to ride and the Boneknapper has yet to appear in the series.
