Toothless was raised by that Whispering Death, "Toothless' Nemesis," after his parents died. However, it was a Reverse Flash type of deal where the whispering death was just using Toothless for his evil plans (dragons can be evil too), so they had a big fight that ended with them being nemeses.

The Hidden World acts like the Hollow Earth theory with multiple gateways around the globe which is why we don’t see many different/global dragon species in the HTTYD part of the world.

There’s only 2 bewelderbeast. Drago ones and Valka ones. The egg at the end of RTTE never hatched. When Drogo learnt that Krogan failed he asked for a map of Berzeker Island. He then sailed and completely anhilated the Island killing Heather and Dagur on the way, thats why they are gone from the 2nd and 3rd movies.

The shellfire we see in the nine realms is what a broadwing looks like as opposed to the one we see in race to the edge which is a titan wing.

A really goofy one I have is Hiccup’s actual name is a girl’s name because Gobber thought he was just a really ugly baby girl and took it upon himself to name him to save Stoick and Valka the trouble. No one has ever told Hiccup this

"It's a [boy], Gobber!" "Don't worry, [he]'s not going to look like one!" - (Viking for Hire) the real question is if the other riders know this.

Fishlegs might but if any of the others did know, he would never hear the end of it

The family member Snotlout was talking about having a gambling addict was, in fact, his own father.

Toothless has the alpha abilities that the bewilderbeast has, but simply refuses to use them
