The Stormcutters egg is oval and has a prominent scale pattern. There is a ridge with larger scales that run down its middle. Hatchling to Adult. Stormcutters are known for their large size and two pairs of wings. They have owl mannerisms and a second set of wings under their main ones that can split and become an X. Stormcutter dragons walk on this second set of wings and their hind legs. The wings can also come close together so they can be like one main pair. They have a very muscular and sturdy build. Their face has two long spines that branch off their brow to the side and they have a smashed face, kind of like an owl. You could also call them brachycephalic. They have a three finned tail and also have many spines down their back and a large crown on their head that makes them look even more menacing. Titan Wing. Titan Stormcutters look very similar to an adult Stormcutter, apart from differences in color and size. They have brown, leather like scales. Their wings are red near its body and gradually lightens into pale pink towards the edge. It has a larger crown and tail fin. The spines along their back are bright red and larger. Abilities. Thanks to their unique body structure and heavy build, the Stormcutter is indeed a very sharp, formidable hunter and fighter. Speed and Agility. Their X wing beats up and down in sync and are probably used for extremely tight turns and maneuvers and for fighting foes. This body structure allows them to demonstrate accurate flight techniques such as navigating through narrow and complicated spaces, or hovering and even rest in mid air. Having four wings allows for exceptional maneuverability. When they even walk they use their lower wings as forelegs while holding their upper wings against their sides they have the fastest dive of all dragons. Rotating Head.

They also have fore talons on their wings that are hooked and can be used to pick dragon trap locks or destroy an entire war machine. Their sharp talons are helpful to climb on mountains even upside down as shown by Cloudjumper to be like bats. Their strength was shown by Cloudjumper, in a deleted scene he was able to rip apart one of Dragos war machines. Hooked Talons. Their sharp hooked pincers at the tips of wings are dexterous enough to gingerly pick the lock of a dragon trap. However, the pincers can also be used to destroy an entire war machine. Intelligence. Stormcutters can quickly understand the difference between people that are threats or not, as Cloudjumper knew that baby Hiccup and Valka were harmless but Stoick was the complete opposite. Cloudjumper also knew that Valka wasnt happy at Berk as she knew that dragons are gentle creatures, and thought Berk needed to cultivate peace. Behavior and Personality These dragons, much like the Night Fury and Speed Stinger can hang themselves upside down from higher ground, like a bat. Their resting position gives them a slightly peculiar and mysterious atmosphere. They are intelligent, proud, and confident but can be sweet and friendly. They can be aggressive and are also quite curious. Training Generally a docile and gentle dragon, training a Stormcutter is easy. All it takes is mutual trust, respect, and a love for dragons, which is shown when Valka meets Cloudjumper. The Stormcutter will be more than willing to accept you after that. Appearances The first Stormcutter introduced was Cloudjumper, Valkas dragon. After her attack on Eret and his men, and rescuing the dragons that had captured, Cloudjumper and Valka then found a Night Fury being ridden by a young man. Cloudjumper was able to overtake them, causing them to crash with the help of one of Valkas other dragons. They then brought the two of them to the Bewilderbeasts nest where Valka explained that Cloudjumper had actually met her during a dragon raid back on Berk. According to her story, Cloudjumper broke into Valka and Stoicks house, and went toward the cradle that held Hiccup Valka and Stoicks baby son. Valka first thought Cloudjumpers intent was to harm the baby, but instead, Cloudjumper was trying to soothe Hiccup by rocking him. Stoick, also believing that Cloudjumper wanted to harm Hiccup and Valka, attacked Cloudjumper. However, the burning house was coming down and Valka was blocked from her husband and child. Cloudjumper saved her from the fire but took her with him, leaving her husband and child wifeless and motherless. For the next 2. 0 years, Cloudjumper allowed Valka to ride him, and together, they helped save thousands of dragons from Drago Bludvists trappers such as Eret, and brought them to safety at the Bewilderbeasts nest. Cloudjumper and Valka bonded with the other duo, showing them a few secrets about dragons. While they eventually reunited as a family, Hiccup wanted to find Drago in hopes that he could change his mind about dragons. Valka, however, believed otherwise, insisting they should protect their own. When Drago Bludvist started his attack on the nest, Cloudjumper and Valka rallied the Bewilderbeast and the nest dragons and fought Drago Bludvists forces with the help of her family and new friends. However, Drago summoned his own Bewilderbeast which soon killed hers. Cloudjumper and all the other dragons were under its control. But when Toothless challenged the alpha, Cloudjumper quickly took his side and when it was defeated, Cloudjumper was the first dragon to bow in submission to the new alpha. He and his rider then moved to Berk. Games The Stormcutter was released in Rise of Berk promptly after the release of the second film. They introduced Cloudjumper there too, and he and Valka helped train dragons, like fellow Stormcutters, to their Titan form. Its battle form and Reignstorm were added too. The Stormcutter also became available in School of Dragons, along with a Viking costume inspired by its design. Trivia. Simo Otto, Head of Character Animation, called the Stormcutter a Skyscreamer, which could have been a possible original name for this species3. In The Art of How to Train Your Dragon 2, it is revealed that Stormcutters have iridescent scales like a fish. The Stormcutters four wings may have been inspired by the Starfighter ships from Star Wars. The Stormcutter greatly resembles an owl, and is seen displaying similar behaviors including a flexible neck rotation range. The only Stormcutter seen throughout the entire course of the second movie is Valkas dragon, Cloudjumper. It is the third dragon that can hang upside down like a bat, the first being the Night Fury and the second being the Speed Stinger. Download How To Train Your Dragon 3 Movies© 2017
