Lore & Background
Hiccup and Astrid's children, Zephyr and Nuffink, become afraid of dragons after reading Stoick's old books, so Astrid revives the Snoggletog Pageant to tell how Vikings and dragons made peace; Gobber casts himself as Stoick and Tuffnut as Hiccup, while Hiccup builds a mechanical Toothless costume. In the Hidden World, Toothless's Night Light children grow curious about his sand drawing of New Berk and fly there, and Toothless and the Light Fury follow them. When the stage catches fire and Hiccup falls from the cliff, Toothless rescues him and helps Gobber finish the show, and Zephyr's meeting with Toothless changes how she sees dragons.
