If dragon warriors was in a dragon class from httyd, which class would he be in?
I hate to be cliche, but I have to say the Strike Class.
Each classification of dragons is rather specific, and while, yes, Strike Class dragons are the ULTIMATE dragons and thus the ones that EVERYONE wants, the fact remains that Warriors wouldn't fit anywhere else.
Stoker class is marked by dragons with particularly strong flames or flame based skill-sets. Granted, Warriors' fire is blue and thus Extremely Hot (just like him lol) it's just one facet of his skillset, and hey, technically the hottest fire in the dragon world actually belongs to the Deadly Nadder, which is a Tracker Class dragon! (Originally classified as Sharp Class but they updated that with the creation of Tracking Class because Nadders have one of the strongest noses as well).
Granted, Dragon!Warriors also has a keen nose and is decent at tracking (he literally found the camp again because he could sniff out Legend, Time, and Wind in the OG fic) but its not super strong, just stronger than a Hylian.
Clearly he's not a Boulder Class, I mean.... Boudler Class is fantastic and all, but they're the durable and strong ones, but also usually characterized as bulky and not the swiftest fliers. He lacks the stealth of a Mystery Class dragon (be it smoke, invisibility or camouflage as are all common in that class), the spiky-ness of Sharp Class dragons (he has spikes and horns, but not any more than the average dragon, and they're not particularly sharp or dangerous) and he just isn't anything remotely RELATED to Tidal Class dragons! Or really Fear Class.... He's sort of tame in comparison.
Strike Class Dragons though are known to be: highly intelligent, fast, agile, powerful, and tend to be more mystical than the average dragon in the HTTYD universe. Warriors is certainly bigger than most Strike Class dragons (nightfurys, skrills, howls, triple strikes, snow-wraiths, ect.) but the criteria rather suit him all the same. I've also noticed that Strike Class dragons tend to be less flock reliant and more likely to either be loners or choose one specific individual whom they resonate with, forming a bond that is utterly and completely unbreakable no matter the circumstances.
Granted, all the dragons in HTTYD are depicted as loyal and loving, but it's most prominent in Strike Class dragons who will choose that One Person over ANYTHING else (we don't talk about HTTYD 3 here, so we're ignoring that mess), which also is definitely something Warriors would also do. Like, yeah, they look out for others as well, but when given the choice between anyone and Their Person, they will choose Their Person if they can and are allowed. Additionally, if anything prevents them from being with Their Person, they go a little nuts and/or become highly distressed if it's by Their Person's doing.
So yeah, much as I hate to just e predictable like this, Warriors is a Strike Class Dragon at heart :)
