Cloudjumper

Cloudjumper is a Stormcutter dragon that appeared in How to Train Your Dragon 2. He is Valka's dragon and it was stated by Dean Deblois that they share a very strong bond that Hiccup admires. He was the main reason of Valka's disappearance, and lived with her for most of Hiccup's life. In the final movie, Cloudjumper goes to the Hidden World with the rest of Berk's Dragons.

Appearance[]

All that is known is he has an owl mannerism and a second set of wings under his main ones that can splay and become an 'X-wing'. His 'X-wing' beat up and down in sync and are probaly used for extremley tight turns and manuevers and for fighting foes. He has a very muscular and sturdy build and walks on 2 legs and 2 wings (as seen on second 0:43 of the trailer). The dragon's face has two long spines that branch off his nose and to the side and he has a "smashed" face, kind of like an owl's. On his back he has spikes that resemble the Skrill's.

He is not a maximum-sized specimen of his race; 9.5m (31feet 3.25 inches) long, 14.6m (48feet) in wingspan, and weighs 2,500 pounds. Based on portraits seen in the films, however, he seems much larger than these measurements, possibly over 22-24m in length and 22m or more in wingspan.

Personality[]

Cloudjumper is proud and dignified and as a result is not as playful as Toothless, but kind enough to scatter baby dragons away who trifle with Toothless. He is also sensible to support Valka in many occasions without clear communications. Cloudjumper's pride, large size and confidence leads him to believe that he is the top dragon in Valka's mountain, second only to the Bewilderbeast who is the true King. Though he is mostly serious, he knows how to have fun, such as pouring snow on Toothless. Cloudjumper was shown to be soft on children, shown as he played with Hiccup instead of hurting him or his mother during the night when Valka was taken.

Biography[]

Before Movie Events[]

Cloudjumper arrived to Berk during a Dragon raid and broke into Stoick's house. When Cloudjumper reached Hiccup's cradle, instead of hurting him, the dragon was playfully poking the baby with its claws. Then he noticed Valka, who was trying to protect her newborn son with a sword. However, she stopped when the Storm cutter went near her and remained docile as it sniffed her. Unfortunately, Stoick intervened and threw an axe, aiming at Cloudjumper. This frightened the beast and he burned the house to the ground, then Cloudjumper took Valka with her to the Bewilderbeast's Sanctuary. Where they bonded and remained hidden for 20 years. Valka and Cloudjumper also worked to rescue captured dragons from Drago Bludvist and Eret.

How to Train Your Dragon 2[]

Hiccup and Toothless run into a dragon rider named Valka, who is revealed to be Hiccup's long-lost mother. She explains that she, like her son, could not bring herself to kill dragons. After being carried off during a dragon raid, she spent 20 years rescuing dragons from Drago's traps and bringing them to an island nest created out of ice by a gigantic Alpha dragon called a "Bewilderbeast", which is able to control smaller dragons.
