You ever think about how snotlout died on Windwalker's back. You ever think about how Windwalker let Snotlout ride him in a last ditch effort to save Hiccup, against Hiccup's own orders. That's the first time we ever see him deliberately disobey Hiccup, isn't it? You ever think about how at the end of book 11 Windwalker thinks Hiccup is also dead. You ever think about how at the beginning of book 12 Windwalker is so tired he's falling asleep in the sky, implying he didn't sleep at all between books 11 and 12. You ever think about how Windwalker streaked after Snotlout's body like a feathery black comet.
You ever think about how he used to be a Lava-Lout slave, and that might not have been the first time a human died on his back

The instagram reposting concludes. As stated in the first post, not all instagram posts are being moved here. Check out the Linktree if you wanna see more of the art.
Depicted are Hiccup and Windwalker from the How to Train your Dragon bookseries, fleeing from a dragon's fury. I reread it recently, and it was good. Highly recommend.
Windwalker's design was inspired by a number of things, including peregrine falcons, horses, carcals, great horned owls, and pelagornis sandersi.
The other dragons in the books were also very interesting in terms of design. I'm not opposed to trying my hand at making my own interpretations of them.

Thinking about redrawing this digitally, but here's a picture of my favorite scene/the scene that always makes me cry in the httyd books. How to betray a dragon's hero is my favorite book in the series, largely because of Snotlout's role in it (but there are other great scenes as well).

I don't know if the HTTYD books ever tell us why the Windwalker remains unnamed, but I like to think it's because Hiccup is leaving the decision up to them.
Many of the dragons in the books don't have names. It's more of a human thing, and the dragons who do have names typically have them because of humans.* Toothless is named by Hiccup (the only dragon named by Hiccup III in the books, as far as I'm aware - let me know if I'm mistaken). The Deadly Shadow, like the Windwalker, is most often referred to by their species name, but the three heads were named individually, probably by Termagant. Stormfly, Horrorcow, Bullheart, Hookfang, One Eye, and many other dragons were named by the humans who kept them. They don't seem to have or seek other names because, well, why would they? Names are a human thing. Most dragons never saw a need for them in the first place.
The Windwalker has an intensely negative history with humans when Hiccup finds them. And so it makes sense that although Hiccup claims them as his riding dragon, he doesn't take ownership of them or force a connection with them or impose human customs on them by naming them. If the Windwalker wants a name, they can choose one for themself or ask Hiccup to give them one. If they don't want a name, they don't have to have one.
It's also possible Hiccup is taking a cue from his mother here - Valhallarama has a close bond with her riding dragon, an entirely unnamed Silver Phantom. He might've learned from her that names aren't necessary for friendship.
*(Exceptions do apply - the Green Death (who went by Merciless in the time of Hiccup I), the Purple Death (appears briefly in book 1), and Luna (the second in command of the dragon rebellion), all have names but don't have significant connections to humans, and all are members of the species Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus. I think it's likely that Furious chose his own name, but with the Wodensfang it's hard to tell - it's possible he was given the name by Hiccup I, but it's just as likely he picked it himself, or grew into the title as he aged. There definitely seems to be a custom of names/titles that's unique to this dragon species, though.)
Anyways. Thanks for reading!

The time skip in book ten has me in a chokehold again… the emotional potential is too great. Our lonely little quartet on one cold and unnamed night on the run. I actually love how this turned out but I’m still not sold on Windwalker’s design.

I love how hiccup and the woden's fang and the windwalker try so hard to teach Toothless manners only for him to pick a completely random "polite" word to put in front of his normal statements
Saying "please" or "excuse me" or whatever before hurling seething insults is the funniest thing I've ever read
