Welcome to the ultimate resource for everything related to the world of Berk. Whether you are looking for the statistics of a Night Fury or the history of the Hooligan Tribe, you are in the right place.
The Book of Dragons was written by Gobber's great-great-great-grandfather,
Bork the Bold — once known as Bork the Very, Very Unfortunate. He had many
encounters with dragons, and while failing in other pursuits, excelled at
cataloging everything he learned. The original line "Kill on sight" came from
Bork the Bold.
After that, it was handed to the members of the Berk Dragon Training Academy,
to gain more knowledge on dragons and to add more information. It helps them
understand the abilities, weaknesses, and behavior of the dragons, helping them
study and train dragons easier.
Hiccup is shown doing the major re-write and update of the Manual, assisted with
the personal observations his friends have made with their own dragons.
The language used in the Dragon Manual consists of a language that
Vikings in Berk use to read and write. Some letters share the same
symbols such as w, v, u, o, and y; e and i; s and z; etc. The language lacks
punctuation and some letters such as the letter x uses "cs" or "ks". Few
letters, such as the letter q, are unidentifiable because it's not mentioned
in the film. Other texts consist of symbols that have no meaning or
organization.
The dragons are miscellaneously placed in the Dragon Manual instead of
being listed in classes.
