Drago Bludvist is the main antagonist of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
He was a ruthless and crazed warlord who attempted to conquer the world by creating a dragon army, slaughtering those that refuses to submit to him. He is the arch-nemesis of Hiccup, Stoick the Vast and Valka.
He was voiced by Djimon Hounsou in most of his appearances, while in the Season 5 episode "The Wings of War", he was voiced by Hakeem Kae-Kazim, who also played Krogan in Dragons: Race to the Edge, Georges Rutaganda in Hotel Rwanda and Benatu Eshu in Vixen.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He wanted to rule the world by enslaving dragons, which is made clear when he vowed to "rise above the fear of dragons" and nodded when Hiccup asked him if he wanted to become unstoppable and rule the world, even admitting that he's using dragons to control the people who follow him and get rid of those who refuse to without hesitation, proving that Drago is using this as an excuse for his horrific crimes.
- He claims to be doing what he does to avenge his family and village that were wiped out by dragons while neglecting the fact that he uses the dragons to carry out his selfish purposes.
- When Hiccup figures out Drago's hypocrisy and calls him out for it just being empty words he uses to simply be a power-hungry conqueror, Drago callously admits Hiccup is right and his only concern is power.
- What makes this even worse is that he most likely moved on from his family's deaths and his village once he became a feared power-hungry warlord.
- In addition, Drago's voice when talking about his tragic story didn't show any signs of affection and the music in the background wasn't played for sympathy.
- Also, no flashback scenes of Drago's village being burned and his family's deaths were shown.
- He claims to be doing what he does to avenge his family and village that were wiped out by dragons while neglecting the fact that he uses the dragons to carry out his selfish purposes.
- After finding a Bewilderbeast, he abused and tortured it into obedience until it grew to adult-size, after which he used to intimidate all his dragons into serving him.
- When the chiefs in the Great Hall laughed at him after he wanted them to bow down and follow him, he used two of his armored dragons to kill the chiefs, only failing with Stoick at the time.
- Due to Drago's attack on the Great Hall, Stoick knew that he was a madman who cannot be reasoned with, as Drago had his dragons burn down the Great Hall for a petty reason.
- Upon discovering that Bayona and his tribe were farmers and not warriors as he expected, he burned down their entire village, forcing them to continue trying to find a habitable island for them to live on, an impact that carries on with them even after his demise.
- He assassinated King Stormheart of the Mongrel tribe, leaving his two daughters, Nikora and Eir, orphaned.
- After hearing that Johann was after a Bewilderbeast, he sends Krogan to help him and the Dragon Hunters find it so he can capture it and bring it to him.
- He had Krogan sentenced to death for failing to capture a Bewilderbeast for him, even though he already has one.
- When Krogan told him that he won't fail him again, Drago only chose to put aside the fault, still briefly explaining to him that no one can fail him twice and having him brutally executed. (Although Krogan is just as horrible as Drago and deserved it for torturing and killing so many dragons and even uniquely making clear how expendable the soldiers were to him).
- He burned the mark of his insignia on Eret, Son of Eret's, chest, threatening him that the next time he returns to him empty-handed, he'll be far less understanding.
- Even though Eret captured more dragons for him as well as the Dragon Riders as a bonus, he still tries to have Eret executed alongside the Dragon Riders via drowning, meaning he was going to have Eret killed regardless of whether or not he returned with more dragons. This was also due to the fact Eret had led an entire island of Berk to him (this wasn’t true as Astrid was just trying to bluff).
- He has his own Bewilderbeast murder Valka's Bewilderbeast and enslave all the Dragons at the Dragon Sanctuary against their will.
- He rejects Hiccup's offer of peace and instead indirectly kills Stoick in the process of ordering his Bewilderbeast to have Toothless kill Hiccup.
- When he found out that Stoick took the blast instead, he just scoffed with a sadistic smile on his face and walked off, with Hiccup deeply grieving his death as a result.
- Upon entering the Isle of Berk once again, he devastates it by having his Bewilderbeast freeze it with its ice breath, but not before taunting the Vikings there that Stoick the Vast is dead and that there's no one to protect them anymore.
- While he gives Hiccup a sporting chance of getting Toothless back, it's clear that he was expecting him to fail because he was taunting Hiccup that Toothless won't miss a second time, thus making it dishonorable. In addition, when Hiccup succeeded, Drago was shocked and attempted to attack Toothless and Hiccup, making him dishonorable again.
- Ultimately wants to use the Bewilderbeast to enslave the entire dragon race to be his slaves as his dragon army to threaten people all across the world with destruction lest they subject to his harsh rules as his slaves and achieve world domination.
- Even when given the chance to surrender and make peace by Hiccup, Drago refuses and orders his Bewilderbeast to attack, resulting in its defeat and his death.
Trivia[]
- Drago Bludvist was originally intended to return in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, where he would have been revealed to have survived his apparent death in How to Train Your Dragon 2 and would have redeemed himself after developing some kind of respect and affection for a dragon who was to help him escape from an island where he was left stranded after his defeat.
