Lore & Background
Stormfly is a Deadly Nadder, and like others of her kind in the series she breathes magnesium-fuelled fire and can launch spines from her tail. In How to Train Your Dragon 2, Stormfly is ridden by Astrid Hofferson, Hiccup's girlfriend and a skilled Viking warrior. During the film, Astrid and the other riders force Eret to lead them to Drago Bludvist, who captures them. When Drago tries to execute Eret, Astrid's dragon, Stormfly, saves him, prompting Eret to help the others escape. Stormfly later participates in the battle at the dragon nest between dragon riders, Valka's dragons, and Drago's armada. After Drago's Bewilderbeast takes control of the dragons, the group is stranded, but they later return to Berk on baby dragons, immune to the Bewilderbeast's influence.
