Drago's Bewilderbeast is a Bewilderbeast under the command of Drago Bludvist. This dragon was presumably captured and enslaved by Drago and his forces at some point in the past (possibly by mobilizing a mass of men and modern weapons), and might have been tortured as well.
Appearance[]
Like the rest of its species, this Bewilderbeast is a massive white dragon with spines on it's head with two massie tusks. It's hide is a stained-shade of white and has two shackles with chains over them. His frills are similar to Drago's dreadlocks and are quite different from the other Bewilderbeast seen in the movie. This dusty Bewilderbeast has more elongnated tusks similar to those of mammoths than the whiter individual.
By the end of the movie, Toothless' attacks utterly destroys the dragon's left tusk.
Personality[]
In comparison to Valka's Bewilderbeast, this individual is dark and looks very menacing, tyrannical and violent. Additionally, he seems restless and being always enraged (the dragon's damaged and rather dirty looks indicate he had been through tough moments). It is not sure if this dragon's true nature is evil, and is possible that he originally had a normal, peaceful character. Understandably, his behaviors are unfriendly and destructive, and doesn't care about damaging the crazed person's forces (crushing several of Drago's men's fleets when emerging, and stepping on one of war or capture machines).
He seems loyal to Drago to the point where he controls nearby dragons to do just about anything he wants. This loyalty is more likely based on fear than respect, given Drago's "beat the dog till it stops barking" attitude towards dragons.
Powers and Abilities[]
Unlike Valka's Alpha being a kind owner, he was used by Drago as more of weapon to be most powerful dragon of them all and to be the ultimate war machine.
- Ice Breath: Like the rest of his kind, Drago's Bewilderbeast is capable of breathing a massive wave of ice that leaves behind massive damage upon freezing and hitting it's target, causing massive damage to the Village of Berk.
- Enhanced Strength: He seems to be stronger than the Bewilderbeast of The Dragon Sanctuary, overpowering the previous Alpha in their battle over control of Valka's rescued dragons.
- Intelligence and Communication Skill: He was able to understand the noises that Drago was saying to control the certain dragons he wanted like Toothless. He also understood to come out of the water at a specific time.
- Enhanced Endurance and Stamina: Just like the rest of his kind, this Bewilderbeast is extremely tough, and can withstand most of the attacks that are fired at him.
Role in the Crossover[]
Relationships[]
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III[]
Although Hiccup is generally considered a friend to all dragons, Drago's Bewilderbeast was responsible for the death of Stoick the Vast. While it was under orders from a cruel, abusive master, the Bewilderbeast dominated Toothless and forced him to fire a plasma bolt at Hiccup point blank. The only reason Hiccup survived is because his father pushed him out of the way. Although Toothless regained his free will briefly after the act, the Bewilderbeast took him over again and forced him to submit to Drago. For this reason it is understandable that Hiccup would have mixed feelings regarding the Bewilderbeast.
When Drago had the Bewilderbeast attack Berk directly and dominate all of Berk's dragons, Hiccup was no longer interested in freeing the Bewilderbeast. His goal had shifted to protecting his people and their dragons. Even so, he focused more on separating Drago from the abused alpha dragon and confronting him directly. It was Tootless who challenged the Bewilderbeast for dominance over the flock. In the resulting battle one of the Bewilderbeast's tusks broke off and it was driven out into the ocean, dragging Drago along with it. It is presumed Drago perished in the water.
Though their goal was mainly to protect their home, in a sense Hiccup and Toothless did ultimately save the Bewilderbeast. It was later seen in the Hidden World, living amongst the dragons there free of Drago's abuse.
Jack Frost[]
As an animal, it is very likely the Bewilderbeast would be able to see spirits such as Jack. Jack is often seen to have an affinity for ice-breathing dragons, whether he is portrayed as a human (Viking AU) or as a spirit (Jokul Frosti). Sometimes Jack is paired with Valka's Bewilderbeast as its rider, so he may harbor resentment towards Drago's Bewilderbeast for killing it. However, he's also very empathetic and would want to free it from Drago as much for its sake as for the sake of all the people Drago used its power to hurt.
Merida DunBroch[]
Unless paired with a dragon of her own in the Viking AU, Merida would not stand much of a chance against the Bewilderbeast in direct combat. Instead she would fare best confronting Drago directly, once he and the Bewilderbeast have been separated from one another. Though Merida might feel some pity for it, she's more likely to focus on protecting her people, allies, and friends than saving the Bewilderbeast from Drago.
Rapunzel Corona[]
Drago's Bewilderbeast has dull scales, bloodshot eyes, countless scars, and heavy chains clamped around its tusks; seeing its state would break Rapunzel's heart. As shown by her interactions with Pascal and Maximus, Rapunzel has an affinity for animals, and as a victim of Gothel's abuse - though more emotional than physical - she would empathize with the abused alpha. She would not hesitate to see the Bewilderbeast as another victim of Drago's cruelty and would be most vocal about wanting to save it.
