The Purple Death appeared in 2015 comics called The Legend of Ragnarok. The Purple Death is a gigantic Tidal Class dragon that first appeared in "The Legend of Ragnarok".
This dragon is massive in size, not unlike that of the Red Death. It's so big that it has been known to cause seaquakes. This led Vikings to believe this was the Serpent of Midgard from legend, heralded to bring Ragnarok, i.e. the end of the world.
Its most notable feature is, perhaps, the long tendrils that extend from under its jaw, somewhat resembling a beard. This feature is similar to that of other sea dragons, like the Sliquifier and Shockjaw. Its body is deep purple in color. Unlike most dragons, the Purple Death appears to have no wings, possibly because it can't fly due to its size and weight.
The mere presence of this dragon is enough to greatly disturb other nearby dragons.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Fire Breath: The Purple Death breathes massive jets of highly explosive fire in waves of streams, capable of burning down entire villages or fleets in a single breath, much like the Red Death.
- Strength & Combat: Being a dragon of massive proportions, the Purple Death possesses immense strength, which combined with its weight make it one of the strongest dragons in the Barbaric Archipelago. The Purple Death uses its immense strength and weight to push, shove and ram against opponents, as well as utilizing its limbs, tail, and neck to swipe and flail at foes, and uses its powerful jaws to crush smaller opponents.
- Speed & Agility: Being a sea dragon, the Purple Death has not been seen outside of its aquatic habitat and thus remains unknown whether or not it is capable of flight or walking on land. While in the sea it is swift, fast and maneuverable, capable of emerging and submerging in mere instants while stalking opponents and prey.
- Endurance & Stamina: The Purple Death was shown enduring numerous rocks and boulders being launched at it by terrified Berkians by means of catapults, and numerous blasts from other dragons. It took the combined force of Berk and the Outcasts, plus the hypnotic gaze of a trained Changewing (Phantom), to eventually defeat it.
- Formation of Seaquakes: The Purple Death is able to create massive seaquakes that can scare or agitate other dragons. These seaquakes are so large that it led people to think that it brought Ragnarok, the end of the world. Due to its size, the seaquakes could have been caused involuntarily.
