No dragon can resist the Alpha's command. So, he who controls the alpha, controls them all.
~ Drago Bludvist over his Bewilderbeast.

Drago's Bewilderbeast is the secondary antagonist of DreamWorks' 29th full-length animated feature film How to Train Your Dragon 2 and a minor character in its sequel How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

He is a humongous dragon who has the power to control other dragons through brainwashing. He was raised from infancy by Drago Bludvist who turned him into a living weapon for him to control.

His physical appearance matches that of Valka's Bewilderbeast.

History[]

How to Train Your Dragon 2[]

During the battle for dominance over the dragon nest between the wild dragons and Drago's forces, Drago brought his "alpha" Bewilderbeast to challenge Valka's "alpha" Bewilderbeast in order to win over the allegiance of nest's dragons. The monster started to attack Valka's Bewilderbeast and gains the upper hand, eventually overpowering Valka's Bewilderbeast and kills him by impaling him with his tusks, subsequently winning the battle and effectively putting all of the nest's dragons under his control. Under Drago's command, the Bewilderbeast puts Toothless under his command to kill Hiccup, but only succeeded in killing Stoick.

Upon returning to Berk, Hiccup and his friends confronted Drago and his Bewilderbeast. After being encased in ice by the Bewilderbeast, Toothless breaks free, enhanced with plasma, and challenged Drago's Bewilderbeast for supremacy. The Night Fury eventually won by breaking the Bewilderbeast's left tusk, defeating him. This caused Drago and his Bewilderbeast to retreat into the ocean, never to return.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World[]

The Bewilderbeast can be seen in the Hidden World, free of Drago's control after his defeat, and when Toothless roars as the King of Dragons, the Bewilderbeast accepts him as his new Alpha, meaning he's redeemed.

Appearance[]

Drago's Bewilderbeast closely resembles Valka’s Bewilderbeast, except he is slightly larger, appears to be more dark and looks very menacing, tyrannical and violent. His scarred and rather dirty appearance indicate that he has been through tough moments while his frills are similar to dreadlocks and are quite different from Valka’s Bewilderbeast. He also has more elongated horns similar to a mammoth's tusks unlike the whiter individual and has shackles on them that are attached to chains.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Enhanced Strength: Due to his gargantuan size, Drago's Bewilderbeast is incredibly powerful, capable of holding his own against Valka’s Bewilderbeast (another dragon with similar strength), eventually overpowering and killing him at the end of their battle. Upon arrival on Berk, he manages to easily break through one of Berk's large statues.
  • Enhanced Resilience: Drago's Bewilderbeast is an extremely tough opponent, making him impossible to fight and take down as he can withstand multiple, heavy attacks and even attacks from Toothless as well during their climactic battle.
  • Enhanced Endurance: Drago's Bewilderbeast's stamina is extremely unlimited, able to travel long distances by pulling his master's ships and was even able to swim all the way to Berk, showing no exhaustion.
  • Enhanced Speed: In the water, Drago's Bewilderbeast can move pretty fast as he was able to travel all the way to Berk after a long battle.
  • Ice Breath: Like his kind, Drago's Bewilderbeast is able to unleash a humungous wave of ice that leaves behind massive damage upon freezing and hitting its target.
  • Master Swimmer: Drago's Bewilderbeast is shown to be a skilled and brilliant swimmer and can even stay underwater for vast periods of time.
  • Mind Control: Drago's Bewilderbeast possesses the ability to control the minds of other dragons that can do his bidding.
  • Sharp Tusks: Like his kind, Drago's Bewilderbeast is equipped with two large tusks that can be used as formidable weapons, capable of using them to impale the underside of Valka's Bewilderbeast at the end of their battle.
  • Intelligence and Communication: Drago's Bewilderbeast is capable of understanding noises that his master is saying to control certain dragons that he wanted and can also understand to come out of the water at a specific time.

Personality[]

While initially an seemingly evil creature that was happy to work alongside Drago, Drago's Bewilderbeast actually harbors a more tragic and sympathetic nature. Before he had even hatched, his master took him while still in his egg and raised him, battering and abusing him to develop a sense of powerlessness against him and utter obedience to his master. Any perceived weakness was beaten out and he grew up developing the draconic equivalent of Stockholm syndrome and battered person syndrome. For much of his adulthood, the Bewilderbeast followed him and his armada, helping him recruit more dragons for his army. Interestingly when the Bewilderbeast stops controlling Toothless, there's a brief pause of possible concern in the dragon's face as Hiccup is grieving for Stoick. Thus, it is possible that Drago's Bewilderbeast is not always committed to the deeds Drago wants him to do.

However, during the battle for Berk, he observed Hiccup and Toothless' relationship to overpower him, and saw Drago being defeated and humiliated. Eventually, he arrived to the Hidden World and assimilated himself into dragon society, happily welcoming Toothless as his king and perhaps even grateful for Toothless for helping him see the error of his ways.

Trivia[]

  • This Bewilderbeast and Drago share various similar facial characteristics such as having "dreadlocks", wrinkles, a searching look, broad chin, darker skins than usual Vikings, a well-built physique, and so on.
  • According to Pierre-Oliver Vincent, Drago's Bewilderbeast is an ultimate counterpart of Valka's Bewilderbeast. This Bewilderbeast is "like those zoo and circus animals that are tortured and forced to "perform".
  • Besides a war machine, this dragon was also used to pull Drago's ship. First was prior to the execution of Eret and the dragon riders. Drago was beating the chains with his bullhook, possibly asking the beast to increase speed. Second is when Drago summoned the Bewilderbeast, the chains are seen sliding off the shackles on his tusks.
  • According to the How to Train Your Dragon 2 commentary, Drago's Bewilderbeast is dubbed the "Bewilderbad".
