Scuttleclaw

The Scuttleclaw appeared in 2014 movie called How to Train Your Dragon 2. The Scuttleclaw is a medium-sized Sharp Class dragon that first appeared in How to Train Your Dragon 2.

It resembles a cross between a Deadly Nadder and a Hideous Zippleback. Its head is similar to a Zippleback's, and its body, legs, and feet are reminiscent of a Nadder's. It has spines like those of a Zippleback too and has a long tail. Scuttleclaws come in a large variety of colors (green, purple, reddish-brown, yellow, etc.). They also have a horn on their nose.

A young Scuttleclaw, perhaps a Shortwing, appears in a short TV spot for the ''How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World movie. It appears a little larger and more svelte in form than the stocky Scuttleclaw Hatchlings appearing in How to Train Your Dragon 2.''

So far, only baby Scuttleclaws have been seen. As infants, they are mischievous and playful and listen to no one. Not even a Bewilderbeast can put them under command. According to Dragons: Rise of Berk, Scuttleclaws are active and playful with seemingly unlimited energy. It is described to be a 'hyperactive powerhouse'. This trait could be, rather eccentrically, one of few countermeasures effective to resist the kings' dragon controlling. They also enjoy playing with Toothless, though the feeling isn't mutual, as Toothless felt uncomfortable around them.

Scuttleclaws often scatter or become disciplined when they are roared at by larger and more mature dragons such as Cloudjumper, Toothless and Bonesnarl.

In the third film, they are shown to huddle in fear from Deathgrippers, indicating that Scuttleclaw hatchlings are prey for these dragons.

Powers and Abilities

 * Strength & Stamina: Even for infants, Scuttleclaws have proven to be quite strong dragons. They were able to carry heavy Vikings such as Gobber and Fishlegs. Also, these infants can fly for a very long distance from their home all the way to Berk, carrying heavy Dragon Riders and like to show off their stamina.
 * Firepower: Scuttleclaws have a yellowish green ball-shaped fire, which is, so far, only seen in a promotional video. According to School of Dragons, Scuttleclaw fire is based on copper. However, in this game, it is light green in color, and it comes out in streams, similar to a Changewing's acid.
 * Speed & Agility: In Dragons: Rise of Berk, Scuttleclaws are also described to be incredibly fast dragons which move too quickly for opponents to see. They have proven to be quite fast and maneuverable while carrying the Dragon Riders.
 * Jaw Strength: Scuttleclaws apparently have strong jaws, as one of the babies were able to bite onto Toothless' tail without letting go. Also, when they have grown up into adults, their teeth get bigger, meaning that the adults' bite could be stronger than the babies'.
