Httyd Dragons A-Z Species 3:

The Basic Brown

(Book Series)

Headcanons below the cut

While often lumped in with Common or Garden Dragons, there are noticeable differences between the two breeds, beyond just their colours, with Basic Browns having a thicker, shorter build, with larger ears and a more sloping face.

While the two species are similarly average in terms of their predatory skills and abilities as a Hunting Dragon, Basic Browns tend to be physically stronger than Common or Gardens, but a bit slower and less manuverable.

Basic Browns are naturally very social Dragons, almost always living in sizable flocks, which they use to their advantage when hunting to take down larger prey than they could alone, a fact that has been observed and replicated by Vikings, who will often train a small pack of perhaps a half-dozen or so to act as a more powerful - and more intimidating - hunting force.

(Really don't like how this sketch turned out but whatever. I'm doing by best to not get bogged down by being too perfectionist with this project, otherwise I'll just burn myself out all the faster)

Description: “The Common or Garden and the Basic Brown are so similar that they can be dealt with together. These are the most familiar breeds - the ones we instantly think of when we say ‘dragons’. They are poor hunters, but they are easy to train. These dragons are the best kind of family pets, although, as with a lion or a tiger, they should never be left unsupervised with very young children.” (How to Train Your Dragon)

"One of the only interesting features of the Common or Garden dragon is that its eyes light up in the dark." (How to Be a Pirate)

Notable Dragons: Horrorcow—Fishlegs’ hunting dragon

Finally got some sketchy designs down for The Stormfly and Horrorcow that I'm happy with. Now to digitize them and settle on their colours. I have an idea for The Stormfly, but trying to find an appealing brown palate is always difficult.

Imagine if all the members of Rammstein had basic brown eyes.
