#httyd grapple grounder

[httyd-art-requests]

I loved your drawingss and the fact you drew it on Ibis paint is impressive I can't even draw an eye or hair

Btw Have you done the desert wraith or sand wraith? if you already made it can you make the grapple grounder from rise of Berk?

I LOVE THESE GUYS, they remind me of ancient animal sculptures... they're so long and tubular <3

Землехват! / Grapple Grounder!

Вы спросите, где крылья, а я спрошу: зачем ему крылья? Землехват — дракон, которому не особо нужно летать, чтобы выжить. У него есть яд, длинный хвост для удушения добычи и сильные когти, которыми он копает себе норы и атакует жертву из засады. Набор, которого вполне хватит для выживания.

You will ask where the wings are, and I will ask: why does he need wings? Grapple Grounder is a dragon that doesn't really need to fly to survive. It has venom, a long tail for strangling prey, and strong claws with which it digs holes for itself and attacks its prey from ambush. A set that is quite enough for survival.

Boulder class dragons as pokemon types

Like the stoker class post, I will assign the dragon type when appropriate.

Catastrophic Quaken: rock/flying, rock/dark, or pure rock due to the aggressive nature and how it's a Boulder in the Boulder class.

Crimson Goregutter: I want to say rock/fighting due to the tail, rocky bumps on the back, and antlers. Also the coloration and protective nature. The crimson Goregutter was designed as a prehistoric creature. Most of the fossil mon are rock type and the prehistoric Koridon is part fighting.

Eruptodon: rock/fire for obvious reasons.

Grapple Grounder: Ground/dark or ground/flying or pure ground for the name and mercilessness.

Groncicle: rock/ice for also obvious reasons.

Gronckle: pure rock, rock/flying, or rock/ground due to inherent rocky-ness and Arial mobility.

Hotburple: pure rock or rock/ground for resemblance of the Gronckle but slower and lazier.

Sentinel: rock/flying or rock/ghost for statue like body, STAB air slash, and roll of protecting Vanaheim and its residents.

Shovelhelm: ground/flying or pure ground for being trained for construction.

Snafflefang: all I got is pure rock or rock/flying for bulkiness and rock eating.

Thunderpede: rock/fighting or pure fighting for coloration, large forearms, and lack of an exoskeleton.

Whispering death: ground/dark for cave dwelling, aggressiveness, digging capabilities and just by looking at it. I can probably also have earth eater.

Screaming Death: a mix of ground dark and dragon for the same reasons for the whispering death plus the legendary status.

Faultripper from the 9 realms: ground/dragon for digging and legendary status. Plus the purple flames.

Grew up playing the HTTYD Xbox game.

All I can say is…

Look how they massacred my boy.

(Xbox Grapple Grounder is the top, RoB and SoD Grapple Grounder is at the bottom)

I’m sorry but the original Grapple Grounder is a million times better. It genuinely looks like it’s a part of the world compared to the other

Grapple grounder transspecies flag

[PT: Grapple grounder transspecies flag/end PT]

Grapple grounder transspecies: a flag for those who are transspecies and grapple grounder dragons from the HTTYD franchise.

[ID: A rectangular flag of 7 uneven horizontal stripes, the colors go from top to bottom as light orange to red to light orange gradient. The center of the flag has a symbol consisting of a circle with a diamond shape on top and a smaller diamond shape on the inner of it./end ID]

Woah wow. Jay writes ideas for the HTTYD au for NPMD because he's enough of a nerd that they'd get killed in that musical.

Right. Gonna go over each of our main cast a bunch. It's gonna be a lot probably. But it's gonna be fun. Because of that. Below the cut.

Peter

As I said in my original post, I think Pete would be out stand in Hiccup. I don't think the Spankoffskis are quite chief status. But I also don't think they're the lowest class. Middle class Peter. Thanks to research, this actually is present in the types of clothes that each character would wear so I'm also gonna talk about that.

Being middle class, I think Pete has access to furs and new fabrics. Maybe some leather from their ancestors has been passed down from when their clan was a higher class. If so, I think it would be found as belts or bands around their wrists. He's not in tattered clothing, but I also think he's crafty. He'd likely prefer to repair his clothes himself instead of getting new ones.

Now onto the dragons.

As I said. Pete is our Hiccup. I think he tries to kill a dragon - to impress Steph - but only manages to wound it. He's unable to kill it and nurses it back to health.

I want to avoid having them fly night furies. So I think Pete's dragon would be a Grapple Grounder. Because I think it's very Tinky. And that's what I'm going with for their dragons. Each of our main sixes dragons are the LIB I associate with them most. :) (Also I'm not going in depth with regards to the dragons. I'm using the wiki for it.)

Pete has a general dislike to killing dragons, but he understands why they do it. I think when he kickstarts the island into liking dragons, Ted doesn't go against him as much as Stoic does to Hiccup. But I think Ted does try to steer his brother into a better approach to helping them understand. This only comes after finding the Grapple Grounder wrapped around the wood pillars of their house.

Steph

Steph is the Astrid stand in but she's the daughter of the Chief (Solomon). She's got all new cloths and furs and leathers to show for it, too.

I think she's entirely capable of killing a dragon and has done it before. She just doesn't want to do it a lot because. Of course she doesn't. Whether it's out of a genuine dislike for killing dragons or her wanting to go against her dad is yet to be seen (it's a bit of both).

Before Pete finds the dragon, I think she still thinks he's cute. But in more of a "you're gonna die out here, let me protect you" way.

When Pete takes her on the first flight, I think she fully starts to fall for him then.

I think her dragon would be a sand wraith because it has a big mouth. And her dragon is nibbly.

I don't think Solomon ever opens up to the idea of dragon riding. Not even when everyone else starts to. I think it gets him killed and because of this, Steph takes over rule of the island. And she does it well, I think, once she learns to.

-

Ruth

Oh Ruth. I think Ruth is lower class - in an orphanage with Richie, honestly. Both of their parents were killed by dragons. Thanks to this, they wear mainly cloth clothing and have plenty of repairs they've done to them, themselves.

Ruth wants to kill a dragon but she underestimates herself because everyone else does. She's the smallest adult on the island and is incapable of killing even a smaller dragon like a Terrible Terror.

Her dragon is a Slithersong. Because Pokey. And the slither-song is black and blue and that's too perfect to pass up.

I think she's less inclined to trust the dragons when Pete tries to get everyone behind him. But when she sees that Richie trusts them - and probably even Steph trusts them entirely first - Ruth comes around to it.

-

Richie

Already did this opening part on Ruth's part so. No need to go over it again.

I think Richie loves to read about the dragons, he wants to learn all about them and learn how they tick - he also thinks they're just very cool. But I think he understands and is - at first - encouraging of the killing. He's probably killed a few himself.

I think he's incredibly open to the concept of not killing the dragons, despite this. I think he's willing to change his mind because he knows so much about them outside of hunting them. He's one of the first to trust Peter when he says about training them.

His dragon is a Changewing (wiggly) because they can come in green and honestly. Read the wiki for this one. If you're gonna do it for any of them. This is the one where you'll be like "oh this is wiggly as a dragon".

-

Grace

Grace, like Pete, is middle class. She's got cloth and fur and family leather, but not as much as a chief or other higher class families would have. But she does have more than Peter.

I think she's a firm believer in killing the dragons thanks to her parents filling her with the same fear and hatred for the creatures that they were.

She's not very open to riding one, until she does, and then she almost definitely goes the complete opposite extreme. As I said in my original post, I think she'd be very likely to be an ally in the first movie, and an antagonist in the sequel. I don't know what her motivation would be. Just know that I think she would be.

Her dragon would be the Hobblegrunt. (Blinky). It's sensitive to emotions and changes colors due to them, so I think having that with a villain Grace would be an interesting concept.

Her parents don't ever really change their minds on dragon riding, though. Even if their daughter does ride. Mark was always fine with dragons.

-

Max

Max is one of the high class families who are connected with the chief through either old business or blood. They have plentiful fabrics and leathers and furs, and they're all in the best quality.

Max is probably one of the strongest young killers of dragons in the establishing universe, pressured to be that way from his family who are the cliche viking strongmen who want nothing more than to kill the biggest/toughest/strongest dragon and probably mount the head and take the scales and hide for personal use.

This is why I've decided to break the thing I said at the beginning. Max gets a light fury. Because Webby. And also I think he'd be so deeply cautious of trusting them that having something as ethereal as a light fury (who Webby was always going to be) would be a good reason to open his mind a little bit.

I think his dad deserves to die in his hatred for dragons and wouldn't survive the first installment. :)

-

Anyway that about covers the main cast of characters. I don't have much other thoughts right now considering it's taken. So long to write this post.

Quick disclaimer that it's been a few months since I've seen the movies and those are the only installments of the series that I've ever actually seen. The wiki helped me with the dragon types. I plan on watching my way through the show eventually.

Please!! If you want to add to this I am very open to it!!! Especially if you're more knowledgeable on the franchise than I am!
