Lore & Background
In the DreamWorks Dragons series the twins are dimwitted fraternal twins and followers of Hiccup who constantly quarrel and disobey commands; Ruffnut was voiced there by Julie Marcus in the first season and Andree Vermeulen afterwards. In The Hidden World she is caught when the riders fall into Grimmel's trap, irritates Grimmel until he lets her go, and unknowingly leads him back to the others.
