Description Drago Bludvist from How to Train Your Dragon 2. He is the main antagonist in the movie, and is the self-proclaimed 'dragon God', as well as the tyrannical leader of his army. He tries to conquer the world with his enormous army of both humans and dragons. He is feared by all and will destroy those who get in his way.

Drago is described as a crazed maniac with a human and dragon army that he plans to use to take over Berk, and then the world.He is referred to by Stoick as a madman without conscience or mercy, who is a tyrannical leader of his dragon/human army. He is a ruthless, sadistic, callous, arrogant, and power-hungry tyrant who seeks to enslave both dragons and humans and take over the world.

He is also quite abusive, as he has beaten and berated his Bewilderbeast and given his pawn, Eret, a symbolic scar for showing up with no dragons. Thus proves he is pure undiluted evil.

Whereas Hiccup and the others relationship with their dragons is one of deep trust and friendship, Drago's relationship with his dragons is one of control, abuse and domination. Having raised his Bewilderbeast from a hatchling he discovered in one of his earliest conquests, Drago subjected it to loveless, miserable life, frequently abusing and possibly torturing it to punish any perceived weakness. Presumably he mentally and physically broke the creature early on, turning what should have been a peaceful beast into a murderous, savage war machine, made to kill. He also never gives it any positive acknowledgement, only verbally berating it for doing something wrong or giving it commands. Interestingly, he has never been shown directly murdering others with his bare hands, but relies on his control of the dragons to do it for him, such as when he had his Bewilderbeast take control of Toothless to make him kill Hiccup and using armored dragons to burn down a hall filled with Viking chiefs after he had left the building in question.

He intimidates the dragons into obedience and controls them by swinging his bull hook above his head and roaring like an animal in a frightening display of power. This is first demonstrated when he uses it to scare Hookfang into submission, then places his foot on his snout, rather than his hand like Hiccup originally did, emphasising that Drago's relationship with dragons is one of master and slave, rathen than trust and equality.

Paradoxically, his greatest strength was also his greatest weakness; while his ruthless insanity made it impossible for Hiccup to reason with him as he had originally set out to do, allowing Drago to outmaneuver and take control of Berk's dragons once Hiccup and the dragon riders unwittingly told Drago of their existence, it also rendered him incapable of understanding Hiccup's bond with Toothless, which allowed Hiccup to regain "control" of his dragon.

Drago's screams could be an homage to the original books, for in the story, to train your dragon you must yell at it.

Sounds like a nasty piece of work. I haven't seen the second film yet, but it sounds interesting. Nice work
