He is a member of the Hairy Hooligan tribe,which is never referred to by name in the film. He is son of the chief, Stoick the Vast thus making him heir to the tribe. His dragon Toothless is a Night Fury, the rarest and most intelligent of the dragon species in the film

Despite his physical shortcomings, Hiccup does his best to succeed as a viking. He is smart and is constantly

Among the other teenage Vikings, Hiccup first comes off as awkward, mainly because he is a poor fighter, and rather scrawny for a Viking but he doesn't wish to fight at first. As he becomes more adept at fighting dragons, however, they start paying more attention to him, some even starting to try to talk to him first. Despite this, Hiccup remains shy and secretive, preferring to be alone with Toothless and later on Astrid. He also tends to be sarcastic with a dry sense of humor that can sometimes put him at odds with the other Vikings in his tribe. creating inventions for various uses throughout the film, including a bola sling, a prosthetic tail, a saddle, and a riding vest. At first, however, Hiccup is almost obsessed with proving himself to the rest of his tribe; he often doesn't think things through and is more determined to gain the recognition of his peers than he is heedful of others' orders, often causing problems for the rest of the tribe, and himself. Hiccup also shows great aptitude at being a leader and strategist: he leads his dragon training class into battle, using his friends' strengths wisely in the battle against the Red Death.
