Drago Bludvist

Lore & Background

Drago Bludvist is a warlord who plots to enslave all dragons into becoming soldiers. He employs dragon trappers led by Eret to capture dragons. Stoick once met Drago at a chieftain gathering, where Drago offered them protection from dragons if they pledged to serve him; upon denying him, he had his dragons attack them, leaving Stoick as the sole survivor. Drago cites his family's deaths from dragon attacks in his childhood and his desire to conquer the world as his motivation.

He unveils his own Bewilderbeast to confront the alpha dragon at Valka's nest, killing it and becoming the new Alpha, thus controlling all dragons. His Bewilderbeast hypnotizes Toothless and forces him to kill Hiccup, but Stoick sacrifices himself by taking the fatal blast instead. After Hiccup frees Toothless from the Bewilderbeast's control, Toothless enters a glowing, super-powered dominant state, making him immune to the Bewilderbeast's control.

Toothless challenges the Bewilderbeast while repeatedly shooting at it, breaking its control over the other dragons to side with him. The freed dragons fire at the Bewilderbeast until Toothless fires a massive blast, breaking its left tusk. Defeated, the Bewilderbeast retreats to the sea with Drago.
