Krogan is the secondary antagonist of the 2015 Netflix computer-animated series Dragons: Race to the Edge.
He is a sadistic agent of Drago Bludvist that serves as his representative for the Dragon Hunters, buying dragons to further Drago's agenda to enslave all dragons in the world as his dragon army and dominate the entire planet. Krogan is also the leader of the Dragon Flyers and the former partner of both Viggo Grimborn and Johann.
He was voiced by Hakeem Kae-Kazim, who also played Drago in the same series in the episode "Wings of War", Georges Rutaganda in Hotel Rwanda and Benatu Eshu in Vixxen.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General/Background[]
- It is never actually delved into if Krogan serves Drago Bludvist out of genuine loyalty, or if it is out of mere professionalism or being a fellow Social Darwanist.
- The closest we know is Krogan being offended by being called a failure to his own leader, but that itself can be argued out of anger of being called a failure, or that he is well aware Drago will kill him for his failure, or that he is angered by Viggo Grimborn's attempt to blackmail him, which itself proves the point.
- Although he does end up fighting all the Dragon Hunters, thus saving Hiccup and even giving back his peg leg, Krogan only did this out of mere spite as he wasn't paid actual money and was cheated, acting mostly out of spite against Ryker Grimborn for this, in which him returning Hiccup's peg was unintentional as he used it solely to knock out Ryker, and then attempted to fight Hiccup until his allies came and retreated knowing he is outnumbered, proving this wasn't out of honorable intent.
- Even if it was out of honor, it quickly faded away with his deal with Heather and attempts to backstab his own partners.
- While he does end up suffering a horrific fate by being brought to Drago for his failure to bring him a Bewilderbeast egg and promptly executed, it is in no way played for sympathy and a well-deserved fate considering how much of a terrible boss he was shown to be.
- Bought multiple dragons for Drago to be enslaved for his dragon army and further his agenda for global domination.
- He attempted to further it even more by partnering with Viggo and Johann to find the egg of a Bewilderbeast so he can betray them and give the egg to Drago so he can enslave it to brainwash all dragons and amass his dragon army to threaten villages with destruction to force them to accept his rule, with him having been very much aware of all the carnage Drago would cause, having seen it himself, as the next point suggests.
- He is indirectly at the origine of the events of the second movie because he facilitates Drago's plans.
- Is the only minion of Drago confirmed to have participated in the massacre of the Chieftains, unleashing the dragons to burn down the hall when Drago ordered to when they refused to bow down to him.
Race to the Edge[]
Season 5[]
- He attacked Melody Island and horrifically tortured the Death Songs, giving them deep cuts and scars and capturing one while leaving the other Death Song, Garffiljorg, to die from his wounds. He then uses the adult Death Song to capture Singetails, horrifically abusing them to be slaves for him and the Dragon Flyers.
- The Singetail he enslaved to his will even developed a forced bond and essentially suffered from Stockholm Syndrome as a result of this treatment.
- He proves himself to be pretty much the worst boss in the entire franchise by a landslide, worse than even Drago, Viggo, and Dagur the Deranged, who all were pretty vile as bad bosses, by executing his own minions not only for the flimsiest of reasons but also in some of the most needlessly sadistic ways. This is shown when:
- When one of his minions questions his brutal methods with regards to capturing and enslaving dragons, Krogan tells him he is allowed to leave only to sadistically throw an axe at his face and kill him, which is the closest the franchise has to an explicit death shot.
- When Viggo and Krogan are certain that the Dragon Eye is on the edge, Krogan sacrificed minion after minion, wanting to sacrifice as many of his own men as he can solely because he finds his own men expendable and that's why they have so many of them.
- Viggo was disgusted by his pointless cruelty and personally came to limit the carnage because they already lost half a dozen men, which Krogan dismissed. To show how bad it is, Viggo is one of the cruellest villains in the series, who out of pragmatism, can commit some really bad acts, like sacrificing an entire ship of his own men to start a deadly epidemic. It says a lot when he of all people finds Krogan too cruel to allow acts like this to happen, personally made attempts to stop it, and even saves one of his men from falling to his death even with the Dragon Eye near his reach, saying he knows what Krogan would've done.
- In the previous episode itself, Viggo simply suggests to kill Jarg by efficiently and quickly slaying him by tossing him to a Whispering Death hole. Krogan vetoes it as he wouldn't get to see Jarg suffer and has him to be tortured to death in his hand.
- When Krogan abandons Johann and the Dragon Hunters accompanying them to be slain by the Bewilderbeast, Krogan threatens his own men who were trying to flee to either die by the Bewilderbeast's ice breath or by his sword, leading to many of his own men pointlessly dying.
- His main intention behind the torture of the Singetails was to play a mind game with Hiccup and force him to make a sadistic choice of betraying his own ideals and killing the dragons to take down the humans.
- He and his Dragon Flyers used the Singetails to launch an attack on Berk, which Stoick, even if he didn't want to, decided he must kill the dragons otherwise it will be a bloodbath on Berk.
- He then has his forces attack Caldera Cay, laying waste to the village that threatened the lives of its people.
- He captures Windshear and forces Heather to give up her Dragon Eye lens to get the key to free her. Krogan then knocks her cage into the ocean for her to drown, and as it turns out, the key Krogan gave wasn't even the key for the cage.
- He then a attack on Berk that lays waste to it and rounded up its entire population, threatening to wipe them all out to force Stoick to cow down to his demands. The negotiations didn't include the dragons of Berk, however, who he attempted to kill solely out of the cruel sport.
- He then launched another attack on Wingmaiden Island that threatened the lives of all the Wingmaidens and the baby Razorwhips they were protecting.
Trivia[]
- Krogan is, alongside Ryker Grimborn, one of the two How to Train Your Dragon Pure Evils to be a TV show-exclusive character.
- Originally, Dragons: Race to the Edge was going to end after its fourth season before Netflix renewed the show for two more seasons. Had the show not been renewed, Krogan would not have qualified as Pure Evil, due to his worst actions happening in the last two seasons.
