The Dragon Hunters
The Grimborn brothers' band of dragon hunters, the riders' great enemy in Race to the Edge.
The Dragon Hunters are the main villains of Dragons: Race to the Edge, the Netflix seasons of the DreamWorks Dragons series. They first appear when a band of hunters led by Ryker Grimborn captures Astrid's dragon Stormfly, and their true leader turns out to be Ryker's younger brother, Viggo Grimborn, who often outwits the Dragon Riders. They hunt for the Dragon Eye, which they lost years before.

Lore & Background
The riders repeatedly free dragons the hunters have captured, and Heather goes undercover among them before Viggo escapes with her as a captive. Ryker is killed when the Submaripper swallows his ship. Betrayed by the trader Johann and Krogan, Viggo has a change of heart and sacrifices himself so that Hiccup and Toothless can escape. Above them all stands the warlord Drago Bludvist, who commands every hunter, trapper and raider of the series.
