alright httyd fandom u ready for this: i believe there is a way to bring night furies back from extinction, and httydverse has handed this to us on a silver plate.
what, you may ask?! have i gone mad? it is 2:30 am after all. but NO i tell you, no, here is my proof. this has to do with dawn of new riders, so if you haven’t played it yet, there’s spoilers for it in this post. be warned. so in dawn of new riders, we are introduced to the lovely patch! a chimeragon made by eir stormheart of multiple different dragon parts. for those that haven’t seen him, here’s what he looks like.
adorable, right?! so, one of the crew on dawn of new riders (i BELIEVE. i believe his name is richard hamilton.) mentioned that, if you wanted to get an idea of what dragons were used to make patch, just... look at him, and his abilities. so i did. catch the earflaps and the legs? thing is, yeah. those earflaps could potentially be a light furies but... there’s one too many. and theyre far too... large and pointed to really... plausibly point to that. so here’s a thought: patch has pure night fury dna. eir, who is rumored to be ALIVE at the end of the game, may ALSO have pure night fury DNA. now without another living night fury, the night lights cannot bring night furies back from extinction. theyd only breed with light furies until the night fury gene was to be wiped out entirely. HOWEVER. if patch were to provide some dna- or if eir herself was to somehow still... HAVE night fury dna... perhaps that could be injected into a nightlight when she becomes pregnant. perhaps, through genetic tests, and enough breeding projects, with night fury DNA... night furies could, indeed, be brought back from extinction.
