Adaptational Personality Adjustment: Difference between revisions

** Book Toothless was a bratty housecat with wings. He spends most of his screen-time refusing to obey Hiccup, coercing fish and treats from him. Movie Toothless is more akin to a panther, and closer to Hiccup's riding dragon Windwalker as well as his elder companion The Wodensfang {{spoiler|who belonged to Hiccup I}}; he is a deadly predator that never misses, but also willing to train Hiccup as much as Hiccup trains him.

** Stoick the Vast is chief in both versions, but book Stoick is more [[Dumb Muscle]] defined by the fact that his winning virtues are love for his son and loyalty to his people. Movie Stoick has those virtues, but is a lot more harried with Hiccup hitting puberty and causing trouble during raids. Anyone would get grey hair having to pull their teenage son regularly out of dragonfire range. ''The Hidden World'' in a flashback shows part of it is {{spoiler|he's mourning his wife Valka, whom dragons took away in a raid}}.
