Tuffnut
Ruffnut's quarrelsome twin brother and co-rider of the Zippleback Barf and Belch.
Tuffnut Thorston is one of the young Vikings of Berk and Ruffnut's quarrelsome twin brother. He was voiced by T.J. Miller in the first two films and the television series; in The Hidden World his lines were dubbed by Justin Rupple after DreamWorks recast the role, and Harry Trevaldwyn plays him in the live-action remake. With his sister he rides Barf and Belch, a two-headed Hideous Zippleback, normally on the left head, Belch, which ignites the gas the other head breathes out.
