Line 6:
** The Tale of the Boneknapper which chronologically takes place after the events of the movie showcase Hiccup walking and running just fine on his {{spoiler|prosthetic leg}} which means that he has largely adapted to his injuries.
* [[Crack Pairing]]: Fishlegs and Ruffnut are shipped together a lot, despite their very limited interaction. In-verse, Ruffnut kind of flirts with Hiccup in one scene before being pulled away from him by Astrid.
* [[Crossover Ship]]: Due to how both films were released in the same year, there's a fair amount of Hiccup/[[Tangled (Disney)|Rapunzel]].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Test Drive. Oh my god, Test Drive. Chills every time. Seconded, that piece is amazing, and every time there is chills! If there was ever a piece written about the thrill of ''flying,'' it's Test Drive.
** Really, the whole soundtrack by John Powell can count here. It helps that key scenes were set to highlight the music in parts like "Forbidden Friendship," "Romantic Flight," and "Where's Hiccup" rather than with dialogue, often to great effect.
Line 21:
*** {{spoiler|Not to mention seeing it breathe fire when it can't keep track of where Toothless is flying. When most of the other dragons have been shooting quick bursts of fire, watching the Green Death freak out and unleash this continuous stream of flames through the sky is just terrifying.}}
** Also some of the details on the various dragons in the handbook.
{{quote| '''Hiccup:''' Eats its victims...burns its victims...buries its victims, chokes its victims, turns its victims inside-out... Kill on sight.}}
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: {{spoiler|The Green Death is probably one of the most massive, monstrous and horrifying dragons in movie history. It is made of so much solid muscle that it barely even has shoulders. And yet, when it flies up behind Toothless and Hiccup for the first time, its wings look, compared to the rest of its bulk, itty-bitty. It's particularly noticeable in a movie that took such care to make Toothless' flying look incredibly realistic.}}
* [[Periphery Demographic]]:
Line 31:
** Test Drive, strangely enough. There's just so much adrenaline and emotion that it gets kind of overwhelming.
* [[Ugly Cute]]: Dragons in general. [[Nightmare Fuel|Except for the Red/Green Death, of course.]]
** The Terrible Terrors remind one of hyperactive, firebreathing chihuahuas. Enter the [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|awwwww factor]] when one of them snuggles under Hiccup's arm and purrs itself to sleep there. A bit of trivia: That particular Terror was voiced by Paco the Chihuahua, after sound designer Nia Hansen of Skywalker Sound saw a video of him on [[YouTube]] and paid his owners $100 for Paco's voice: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mscd2rdiSUg video 1], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-ySyyo8wMg video 2], [https://web.archive.org/web/20110912042717/http://www.cgsentinel.com/v2_news_articles.php?heading=0&story_id=4339&page=72&story_id=4339 local news article] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100612185219/http://cottagegrove.kval.com/content/hit-film-how-train-your-dragon-features-voice-chihuahua-cottage-grove article 2].
** Toothless is this trope incarnate.

** Gronckles, especially the one Hiccup tames with the dragon-nip and {{spoiler|the poor little guy that gets eaten}}
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Quite a number of viewers thought that Toothless was a girl when he first appeared.
