In ' Maces and Talons, Part 2', it is revealed that the Flightmare can developed a strategy for attack, flying around with its mouth open, leaving a trail of mist in the air as it chased Ruffnut and Tuffnut. It seems to be very cold as Astrid shivered when she was sprayed by it. The mist leaves its victims glossy and slightly wet while the paralysis lasts. The mist can be fired in blasts or streams, and vary in quantity, depending on the Flightmare's tactics and size of the target. The Flightmare can strike with a toxic mist that temporarily paralyzes the victim from head to toe, giving itself enough time to return and finish it off. Flightmares are capable of controlling how bright they glow for a limited time after consuming the algae, and can use this ability to nearly blind and confuse their prey or foes.

But when the Flightmare consumes glowing algae, a type of unique algae that makes the internal structures of dragons glow with a similar color to that of their fire type, its body's glow is greatly enhanced. The Flightmare's body produces a dim glow, bright enough for it to be spotted easily at night. They are also said to develop lethal spines used for offensive purposes. It also has a deeply bifurcated tail resembling that of a fish. In School of Dragons, the Titan Flightmare has larger wings, three horns on the head, and neon spines on the legs. In Dragon Gliders, a Titan Wing Flightmare is seen, but it shows no major differences to a Broad Wing dragon, only being gigantic in size and having much longer teeth. They have white and light purple dots all over their wings. Titan Wing Flightmares are nearly identical to their Broad Wing counterparts, but are now colored purple with a faint, translucent blue outline. With its quick reflexes, the Titan Flightmare is capable of leaving a trail of spines and frozen vikings, but don’t fret as long as you do not get in between them and their food, all should be well.

While many might focus on its paralyzing mist, you should not forget its spines, now found on top and below the tail. Ready to defend campus and its vikings, this Titan Flightmare is even more territorial and protective than your everyday Flightmare. Flightmares are covered in tendrils, replacing spines in the locations the latter would be, mostly back, wing tips, tail, and head. Its natural faint glow is greatly enhanced and weaponized by the consumption of a specific type of glowing blue algae that forms a staple part of a Flightmare's diet. Its body is covered in tiny spots, making it resemble the stars in the night sky.Ī Flightmare slightly resembles a mix between a Skrill, a Night Fury, and a Fireworm, with brightly glowing scales. The Flightmare is a medium-sized dragon that has a very unique ghost-like appearance. It is unknown if the parent dragons spray this mist on their eggs or if the eggs emit it by themselves. The eggs grow brightly and are surrounded by a lingering glowing mist, possibly the same toxic substance used by Flightmares, emitted for additional protection. which is the perfect time for the Dragon to strike!įlightmare eggs are typically oval-shaped, and colored with bright neon colors, usually depicting the unborn individual's main scale color. The very sight of a Flightmare at a distance can make Vikings freeze in their tracks. Instead of shooting fire, this Dragon from the Mystery Class emits a toxic mist that paralyzes its foes. While it wears off after a few minutes, the potent mist immobilizes the Flightmare's target long enough for it to strike. This has led to the legend of Flightmares 'scaring Vikings stiff'.

Because of this, it has become a very territorial and short-tempered dragon, and incredibly protective over its algae food supply.įlightmares emit a toxic mist that can temporarily paralyze a human. The Flightmare's abilities are almost entirely defensive, so it can be overpowered when cornered or outnumbered by tougher dragons. When the Flightmare eats the algae, it also glows, giving it an unnatural appearance. This algae glows with bioluminescence in the light of Aurvandil's Fire, a Northern Lights display that occurs every few years over Berk. The Flightmare's glow comes from its primary food supply, a unique type of algae that flows through the woods around Isle of Berk. Like something out of a campfire ghost story, the Flightmare doesn't even seem like a real dragon.Įmitting a banshee wail and glowing like a phantasm, the Flightmare has haunted Berkians for generations.
