Hiccup (Mason Thames), a young Viking and the son of Berk’s chieftain, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), decides to befriend Toothless, a rare Night Fury dragon initially considered a threat. This decision creates new challenges that change Hiccup’s life and the Viking community, which has long regarded dragons as pests and enemies. Hiccup and Toothless’s friendship surprises the people of Berk, as Hiccup appears to abandon their long-held traditions. He then tries to convince his tribe that they do not have to be dragon slayers and that dragons can become loyal companions to humans.
