Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is the current Chief of Berk and the main protagonist of the How to Train Your Dragon series. Hiccup was owner of a Night Fury, Toothless, the only known member of his kind in the archipelago (however, the hidden world might still have more night furies living there), after shooting him down and causing him to lose a tail fin, Hiccup nursed Toothless back to health. Hiccup first started out as awkward, shy, and a loner. He usually resorts to sarcasm when only necessary. Hiccup was very protective of his friends and family. This includes Astrid, something she reciprocated and Toothless when he didn't hand him over to Grimmel. He was also unwilling to abandon his friends when they were trapped on the Reaper no thanks to Dagur. An outcast among the Vikings, Hiccup was determined to figure out how to provide himself to his father and his peers. The trait seemed to never leave Hiccup, as in the Riders of Berk he thought he needed to provide himself with his father but at the cost of nearly getting his friends killed. Hiccup grew taller and is no longer considered a runt. Instead he is six foot two and taller than the other Viking teenagers. He changed into flight gear. His hair is slightly shorter and somewhat scraggly and unkempt with two small braids behind his right ear. He also has a stubble on his chin and has a stronger build than the first film. He still wears a basic cotton pants and no shirt while sleeping.
