Villain Overview

The Frozen Skrill is a supporting antagonist in Dragons: Defenders of Berk and a minor antagonist in Dragons: Race to the Edge. It is a Skrill, a species of dragon that can charge itself with electricity and rides lightning bolts to reach supersonic speed.

When the Skrill escaped, the dragon riders attempted to tame it so it wouldn’t side with Dagur. When Hiccup failed to train the Skrill as it was filled with too much rage, Hiccup went with plan B which was to put it back into the ice and freeze it again. Several years later, the Skrill escaped again and tried to kill Hiccup and Toothless for freezing it again. When the riders saved it from the dragon hunters, they earned the Skrill’s respect and allowed it to be free.

Description[]

It is written under the Strike Class for its ability to ride lightning bolts like air torpedo's, intelligence, and jaw strength. This elusive dragon has large wings, a spiked back and tail, and a large mouth. The spikes on the Skrill's back and tail are sharp enough to cut with the slightest abrasion, and it is an excellent flyer. It apparently resembles a Night Fury in flight and rivals its speed, being slightly slower. At full speed, the Skrill is the second fastest dragon in the dragon world, with the fastest being the Night Fury. Similar to Night Furies in the night, Skrills only show during electrical storms could indicate a fear of cloudless days and the sun. Like the Monstrous Nightmare, its locomotion on land resembles that of a pterosaur, using the large claws on its wings to walk and run on land.

As with most of the dragons in the manual, it is listed as being "extremely dangerous", and the manual instructs readers to "kill on sight". It slightly resembles a Thunderdrum, and its head also resembles that of a Deadly Nadder. When a Skrill is riding lightning, it seems to wrap itself in its wings, and dive down. The Skrill's favorite food is sheep. The Skrill appears as a logo on Dagur's boat and appears on Dagur's belt, meaning that the Skrill is the Berserker Crest.

According to the Cartoon Network site, Skrills are completely untrainable. However Viggo Grimborn was able to tame his Skrill by using the Skrill's attraction to metal (it was due to the Skrill's electrical properties that they are attracted to it). By waving a metal dagger around slowly in front of a Skrill will soothe it and calm it down. Once the Skrill realizes you're not a threat, you can gently touch its nose to bond with it.

Biography[]

Defenders of Berk[]

A View to a Skrill Part I[]

A Skrill was found trapped in an iceberg by the Berserkers. Bucket and Mulch, who thought the Berserkers had crashed into an iceberg, came to help until they saw the Skrill. The Berserkers then fought Bucket and Mulch and were easily overpowered by the duo. The dragon riders arrived and the Berserkers retreated. Mulch then showed Hiccup and his friends the frozen Skrill. The dragon riders took the frozen Skrill back to Berk and placed it inside the Dragon Training Academy. The Skrill was later freed by Barf and Belch and Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Because Storick heated stories of Breserkers fleets controlling dragons that brought down lightning from the sky and destroyed everything in their path, the dragons and their riders try to keep the Skrill caged in so they can tame it but it managed to escape into the wild. The Skrill flew into the dark clouds where it charged itself with lightning. The Skrill then fired its lightning breath at the dragon riders before fleeing into the clouds.  

Toothless and Hiccup managed to lure it out of the clouds by firing Toothless' plasma blast at it. Astrid and Stormfly and Hiccup and Toothless and Ruffnut and Tuffnut and Barf and Belch then attack the Skrill. The Berserkers attacked the dragon riders as well. The Skrill attacked Snotlout and Hookfang from behind with its lightning breath, striking Snotlout in the head. The Skrill flew into the clouds when the dragon riders decide to regroup. Later, Ruffnut and Tuffnut lure the Skrill out of the clouds by using Barf's gas and Belch's electric spark to create a powerful explosion. Toothless fire his plasma bolts at the Skrill but it blocks them with its lightning breath. It then chases Toothless and Hiccup, firing its lightning breath at them. Barf and Belch fire at the Skrill, causing it to chase them. The Skrill fires it's lightning breath at Barf and Belch but Toothless blocks the shock with a plasma bolt, causing an explosion that blasts all three of them out of the sky. The Skrill then falls into the ocean, where it is vulnerable. Alvin and the Outsiders capture the Skrill, hoping to train it back on Outcast Island.

A View to a Skrill Part II[]

The Skrill is taken to Outcast Island where Dagur and Alvin make a deal with each other. Alvin will help Dagur get the Skrill and Dagur will be given it after he helps Alvin destroy Berk first. However, Dagur betrays Alvin and steals the Skrill from it's cage and takes it to his ship. Alvin finds out and angrily fights Dagur. Alvin has the upper hand at first but Dagur then uses the Skrill on him. Alvin jumps into the sea and Dagur uses the Skrill to shoot lightning at the water, seemingly killing Alvin. Dagur uses the Skrill to battle Hiccup and Toothless. The Skrill blocks all of Toothless' plasma shots but when Dagur steps into puddles of water, Toothless fires a plasma bolt that causes the Skrill's electricity to shock the Beserker. Despite being free, The Skrill then chases Hiccup and Toothless into an iceberg where he is knocked out by an ice wall after charging at Toothless and Hiccup's reflections that he thought were real. Ruffnut and Tuffnut and Barf and Belch then seal the iceberg, causing the Skrill to be frozen again.

Race to the Edge[]

The Skrill returns again as the main antagonist. When the Skrill was unfrozen again, he seeks for revenge on Hiccup and Toothless for freezing him again. He went to Berk in order to attack. Hiccup noticed that the attacks as not random, but the Skrill is aiming for Hiccup's house, since the Skrill wanted to have his revenge. Hiccup and Toothless are chasing the Skrill in order to freeze him again. The Skrill got captured by Dagur the Deranged, and the Dragon Hunters since he claimed that that is his Skrill, since the symbol of the Berserker Tribe is a Skrill. Hiccup released the Skrill, so that he will attack the Dragon Hunters. The Dragon riders have captured the Skrill again in order to freeze him, but Hiccup decided to free him, so he redeemed himself from being vengeful.

In season final "King of Dragons, Part 2", the Frozen Skrill arrives to the battle among the thousands of wild dragons that answer the Berserker Bewilderbeast's distress call and blasts a Dragon Hunter ship with its lightning.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first Skrill the Dragon Riders have ever encountered, with the second being Viggo's Skrill.
    • However, it's possible that the Frozen Skrill, Viggo's Skrill (the one seen in the final season of Dragons: Race to the Edge in the episode "Triple Cross"), and the wild one (that appeared in the final episode "King of Dragons") are one and the same due to their same color and appearances. In addition, Viggo's Skrill didn't show much hostility to Hiccup and Toothless when they encountered it, showing it is possible that he recognizes his saviors.
  • The Skrill has an error on its official page (in the gallery). Instead of saying it is in the Strike Class, it is labeled as being in the Sharp Class. However the image for Sharp class is a Deadly Nadder, but if you look at it closely it also looks like a Skrill.
