It tells the story of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a teenage Viking who lives on the Isle of Berk, where dragons are seen as a threat. Hiccup uses his creativity to make a tool that lets him catch a rare dragon, whom he eventually names Toothless. Their strange bond goes against what people in his town have always thought and shows that Vikings and dragons can live together in harmony.
