Smothering Smokebreath is a small Mystery Class dragon introduced in the DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
Background[]
In Dragons: Race to the Edge, the female Bewilderbeast made a distress call and a lot of dragons including Smothering Smokebreaths came to help fight against the Dragon Flyers and Hunters.
Official Description[]
- Smothering Smokebreaths are elusive creatures that prefer to stay hidden. While not inherently aggressive, Smokebreaths will attack Vikings that intrude on their territory. Rather than breathe fire, these dragons instead exhale plumes of thick black smoke. Being communal creatures, these individual smoke clouds often combine into what appears to be a large fog bank. Many a Viking ship has been scuttled due to these dragon-made fogbanks, which suits the Smokebreaths just fine, as they scavenge the wreckage for bits of metal to use in building their nests.
- The Smothering Smokebreaths' greatest hidden ability is actually their supernatural reputation. Entire Viking villages have cleared out at the sight of their unique black smoke, misattributing the haze to ghosts or fjord phantoms. With the village streets and homes empty, the Smothering Smokebreathes then have free reign to pillage for every bit of metal they can find.
