| “ | Hello, Mr. Night Fury. How are we doing today? Happy? Feeling 'Hiccup-y' good? Just a big love fest over there on Berk, isn't it? Well, not for long. That's right, you and I are going to spend some quality time together, ramming it up— | „ |
| ~ Dagur attempting to use Toothless as his death machine to destroy Berk. |
Dagur the Deranged is a major character in the DreamWorks Dragons series, a part of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise. He serves as a minor antagonist in Riders of Berk, the main antagonist of Defenders of Berk and the first season of Race to the Edge before becoming a supporting antagonist in Season 2 and then ultimately becoming a supporting protagonist from every season onwards.
He is the barbaric and ruthless Chief of the Berserker Tribe upon his father, Oswald the Agreeable, getting himself lost, leaning on the rumors he killed him to appear as a strong successor. He becomes the former archenemy of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the son of the chief of the Hooligan Tribe, Stoick the Vast, who Dagur tried to wage war on to satisfy his wanton bloodlust. Eventually finding his long lost sister, Heather, Dagur eventually grows a soft side and redeems, becoming an ally to the Dragon Riders.
He was voiced by David Faustino.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- Despite having multiple comedic moments, his actions are played seriously and horrifically in-universe, and most of his comedic moments simply highlight how sadistic and twisted he was.
- Bullied Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs as a child, even tossing knives at Hiccup for fun and tossing Fishlegs into a cramped cage, feeding him rotten fish heads and having made attempts on his life even before they were even enemies out of sheer sadism.
- Captures Barf and Belch and attempted to kill it and use its blood to sign a peace treaty with Berk simply because he can.
- Personally went a hunting game, killing many dragons for sport.
- Upon finding out about how Berk became more gentle on dragons and started training them, he uses this as an excuse to wage a massive war against the island.
- He makes multiple attempts to destroy it and make it defenseless:
- Using a catapult to capture dragons and their riders to cripple its defenses as he wipes the island out.
- Having Johann sell scrap metals containing a Smothering Smokebreath's nest to steal all of Berk's metal to leave them defenseless as he attempts to wipe them all out.
- Plants Dragon Root, a plant that will drive dragons feral and insane and make them lethally aggressive, to send Berk's dragons to a violent frenzy that will kill any human and dragon on sight and lay waste to Berk, being the most twisted tactic yet.
- He makes multiple attempts to destroy it and make it defenseless:
- He threatened to cut off one of his own minions legs (who was actually Tuffnut passing himself off as a minion but doesn't change what happens) for simply annoying him. Had he not impressed him with his poetry, Dagur would've followed through the threat.
- He betrayed Alvin the Treacherous and electrocuted him to near death with a Skrill. He then convinced Savage and the rest of the Outcasts to join him by threatening to kill them if they refused.
- He attempted to enslave Toothless and use him as a weapon to terrorize the Archipelago after destroying Berk.
- At some point, he slaughtered his own sister Heather's entire adoptive village, leaving her as the sole survivor, all while having knowledge that Heather was his sister.
- While breaking out of jail, he badly injured multiple guards. He even injured the one who let him out, stating he hates traitors.
- Tells Savage that he is gonna betray and kill Ryker Grimborn and wipe out the Dragon Hunters to claim the Dragon Eye for himself.
- Frequently attempted to kill at least one of his men and sacrifice them solely because he can.
- While the franchise has high Heinous Standards, Dagur still stands out for his twisted and sadistic acts, planning to kill anyone who weren't even his own enemies, that too with attempting to spark a massively deadly war and wiping out an entire village that gives him a very notable kill count, and as a result, Dagur's wanton sadistic bloodlust gives him a huge visceral edge to make him stand out.
- Even after his redemption, he showed very little remorse for his past crimes.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He cares for his family. Unlike what Defenders of Berk heavily indicated and the way he disliked his father, the rumors of Dagur hating and killing his father were not true, and Dagur genuinely cared for him and was heartbroken and blamed his sadism and negligence for not bothering to search for him when he found out that Oswald died fighting for the dragons in Vanaheim. Upon finding out Heather was his long-lost sister, Dagur cared for her and threatened to kill Ryker if he laid a finger on her and when Viggo Grimborn has her captured and ordered him to execute her, Dagur betrays him and frees her and her dragon Windshear.
- He ultimately redeems himself after Season 2's finale of Race to the Edge by calming down and learning self control. After this, he is willing to atone for his crimes by helping Berk.
