The New Book of Dragons

by marshtiger

For years, Hiccup and the other Dragon Riders gathered information of dragons from all around the Archipelagos, reciting them in the Book of Dragons. These are the dragons they never found. The lived beyond the Meridian of Misery, past the outer rims of Dragon's Edge, and even outside the reach of Drago Bludvist, dragons that no Viking had ever laid eyes on, until now.

Analysis- If you hear a loud crashing that sounds like two boulders colliding, it just might be a Batterhorn Brawl! Like the common ram, Batterhorns spend a large portion of their time ramming into each other, whether it be for a mate, to challenge another male, or just for fun, these dragons constantly butt heads, which results in the thickest skull of any dragon. Due to their activities, the lower canines are often chipped or outright missing, and as a result grow at an astonishing rate. Like many other boulder class dragons, the Batterhorn has a club-like tail, though rather than simply growing along with the rest of the body, this club is a result of mineral secretion at the base of the tail, resulting in a buildup that eventually forms an orb of solid stone. This phenomenon is displayed in the Batterhorn's eggs as well, forming a stone shell, offering more protection for hatchlings. Next time you think you hear thunder, it just might be a bout of Batterhorns!
