Hiccup is a failure as a Viking: skinny, inquisitive, and inventive, he asks questions and

tries out unsuccessful contraptions when he's supposed to be fighting the dragons that

attack his village. His father, chief Stoick the Vast, has pretty much given up on his

teenage son and apprenticed him to blacksmith Gobber. Worse, Hiccup knows the

village loser hasn't a chance of impressing Astrid, the girl of his dreams and a

formidable dragon fighter in her own right. When one of Hiccup's inventions actually

works, he hasn't the heart to kill the young dragon he's brought down. He names it

Toothless and befriends it, although he's been taught to fear and loathe dragons.
