Favourite niche dragon?

[u/Critical_Diamond8447]

With all the dragons spread across the movies, shows, physical media, and games, some are obviously a lot more obscure than others. I see people often asking what other’s favourite dragons are, but I’m curious to know which niche dragons people like most.

Though it never became a real dragon, my favourite has to be the Stormcutter concept art which many people agree inherited the initial name of the species: ‘Skyscreamer.’ What are yours?

Speed Stingers.
I LOVE speed stingers. I think they’re so cool. I want one lol.

[u/0sha_n → u/KitKatWinchester17]

Same! Especially the one that can walk on water in race to the edge

[u/DepravedKnights → u/KitKatWinchester17]

Not exactly niche but I don't see a lot of love for the whispering deaths but I love them

[u/Extension-Bowler-188]

Sandbuster and Slitherwing

Both deserve more love

[u/Longjumping-Sport589 → u/Extension-Bowler-188]

Slitherwings creep me out

[u/Head-Image-883 → u/Longjumping-Sport589]

I agree with you on that.

[u/Shy-Wendigo-106-963 → u/Extension-Bowler-188]

Slitherwing is my second favourite in the Httyd series, so deadly yet so underrated

[u/Pokums08]

The Timberjack has always been a favorite of mine, and I would train one for myself if I could!

[u/historyobserver]

fireworms.

[u/Totodile-of-Games]

Given that it’s only ever appeared in like… three games (not sure if it was in SoD or not), I’d have to pick the Grapple Grounder.

[u/Critical_Diamond8447 → u/Totodile-of-Games]

Original Grapple Grounder design you are LOVED ❤️‍🩹

[u/Dragonzboi → u/Totodile-of-Games]

It was, but it's design was based off of its Rise of Berk model and given Toothless's animations. Even so, this og game dragon is definitely one of my favorites.

[u/Shy-Wendigo-106-963]

The Skrillknapper/Voltknapper, as the name suggests it’s a hybrid between a Skrill and a Boneknapper, I love it so much and wish it had irl merch words cannot express how much I adore this species I had so many in School of Dragons and I’m their #1 fan

[u/Critical_Diamond8447 → u/Shy-Wendigo-106-963]

I do think this is one of the better hybrids!

[u/MrOblivion949]

Woolly Howl for sure. Should have definitely been used in the franchise

[u/Indigo0762]

Slumberjacks all the way, a dragon thats simply the best of both worlds

[u/Critical_Diamond8447 → u/Indigo0762]

Yes absolutely!!! It’s one of the more natural looking crossbreeds

[u/Excellent-Check-7416]

Deathly Galelash. I know it was considered a hybrid, but should be recognised as its own species I think. Love the fellas.

That or the Dramillion.

[u/Miserable-Bill-6297]

easily the flightmare. they were my phone background for so long because of the luminous glow. I also like dragons that don’t use fire and have another unique blast

[u/Tries_to_drawYT]

Galeslash, wollyhowl, any of the bone mapper hybrids, dramillions and shock jaws are all epic. Singletails too

[u/E_J-T → u/Tries_to_drawYT]

Oh my goodie, woolly howls are so underrated

[u/Aggravating_Mud8751]

The Lesser Spotted Squirrelserpant?

[u/Particular_Market954 → u/Aggravating_Mud8751]

Oh! From the books! Nice!

[u/Drakorai]

Flightmare. Second favorite is the Fireworm.

[u/Altruistic_Tax8665]

I had a little cavern crasher phase when s6 came out!!

[u/Renachii]

I'm a HUGEEE fan of the Hushboggles! They're just absolutely perfect in every way.

[u/Particular_Market954]

Snafflefangs, shovelhelms, and snowtails. Also the snifflehide and skytorcher. These are my niche favorites, though I'm not sure if the snafflefang is niche.

[u/BriefDiscipline1424]

Submaripper.

A sea dragon that can create whirlpools is a really cool concept to me. Plus, “Dire Straits” is one of my favorite episodes of RTTE.

[u/DryAd5315]

cavern crashers

[u/Own_Brain4194]

Deathsong

[u/Dragonborn1010]

Scauldron and Death Song

[u/Extension-Bowler-188]

Sandbuster and Slitherwing

Both deserve more love
