![]() ![]() ![]() He was chosen by Hiccup, mainly because he thought it would be safer for Dagur to ride the "slowest and least dangerous dragon" he could find. In " Family on the Edge", Shattermaster first appeared as Dagur's new dragon. Hanging around watering holes, giving young vikings the side glance. I’ve seen Shattermaster around the Edge of New Berk lately tho. Sleuther was a bit miffed by that, but meh. I always wondered if that was Dagur’s way of saying sorry. But I think it was significant that he asked Shattermaster to be the ringbearer for his wedding. I don’t think Dagur really has the kind of emotional depth that leads to reflection on his behavior if you know what I mean. And to be honest, Dagur was super happy to see him. I don’t think Shattermaster would have come if he wasn’t truly happy for his ex partner. When the wedding happened, though it was different. I would see him flitting around in the hills, free as a bird. I could tell that really hurt Shattermaster in deeper ways than the boulder crushing his ribs ever could. Dagur only really showed up to talk about the amazing adventures he was having with Sleuther. I cared for him for weeks after his injury. In the end the poor Dragon burned himself out. Don't get me wrong, either one of them would have sacrificed himself to save the other, but that’s just what it all led to, isn’t it? Shattermaster went so far beyond what any other Dragon would have done to get the approval of their rider, And although Dagur was appreciative when it benefited him, I don’t think he noticed that Shattermaster was trying so hard. I’m not criticizing either of them with this, but you could see the cracks in their partnership coming from a mile away. Even after they bonded and started coming up with all those battle tactics together, I still thought it was a bit weird. Also, seeing Dagur responding to this majestic and intelligent animal in a way I could only call ‘underwhelmed’ set my teeth on edge. It’s not the best personality for a Dragon like Shattermaster. Even when trying to be a better man, he was always kind of a maniac. I have a soft spot for Gronckles, but even among those beautiful beasts, Shattermaster stood out as more intelligent and resourceful than any of his pack. There are a lot of wild Dragons we were keeping track of near The Edge, looking for those we might tame. The thought of Shattermaster and Dagur working together was a bit of a ‘what the Thor’ moment for me. Although there is something of truth in these speculations, the truth might be a bit closer to the heart.įishlegs, who fancies himself somewhat of an expert in Dragon Sociology has this to say on the matter: There has been a lot of speculation as to what happened to Shattermater between being injured by a boulder while saving The Edge from Dragon Hunters and his brief return as the ring bearer in Dagur and Mala’s wedding. But, surprisingly, these two make an excellent team. This small and happy Gronckle was definitely NOT what Dagur expected for his first dragon. 2.2 Being Rescued and Fighting the Dragon Hunters. ![]()
