Dragon's Fortress

  Okay, so get this: There is a new DreamWorks: Dragons series coming to Hulu and Peacock on December 23, called DreamWorks Dragons: The Nine Realms . This show takes place 1300 years after the events of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World , so essentially, it brings dragons back into the light, in a more modern era. The two heroes (or main characters) of this series are Tom, a teenage boy who might just be a modern-era descendant of Hiccup; and Thunder, a Night Light (a Fury dragon descended from the offspring of the Night Fury, Toothless and his mate, the Light Fury). Of course, being set 1300 years after the events of The Hidden World , the Night Lights of this more modern era would look just a bit different from the Dart, Pouncer, and Ruffrunner (the offspring of Toothless and the Light Fury), although you can clearly see that, despite a couple anatomical differences, Thunder is still obviously a Night Light dragon and, therefore, still shares many similarities with not only

  The Night Lights are the hybrid offspring of Toothless (a Night Fury) and his mate, the Light Fury, which appear at the end of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World  and again in the holiday short film, How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming . There are three Night Lights: two males and one female. Oddly enough, their names were not revealed in the films, but in the online computer game, School of Dragons . Their names are Dart, Pouncer, and Ruffrunner. Their species name--Night Lights--is a combination of the names of the parent species: the Night Fury and the Light Fury. Anyway, without further ado, here's a picture of the Night Lights. Aren't they adorable? Dart:  Black Night Light w/blue eyes (Female) Pouncer :  White Night Light w/green eyes (Male) Ruffrunner:  Black Night Light w/green eyes (Male)

  It was said that he was the first purple dragon ever born. Malefor, also known as the Dark Master, is in many ways, the opposite of Spyro. As his name dictates and represents, he is completely malevolent. He represents the unbalanced embodiment of evil after having gained full command over the dark side of Aether, a powerful element of the Purple Dragon that draws in the essence of the very universe itself. Despite being calm and courteous, Malefor is also cunning, highly intelligent, and manipulative, being able to devise twisted plans. While Spyro does good and wishes to protect the world he lives in, Malefor seeks the destruction of it, and will use all he can to finish what he started.

  The Guardian Dragon of Earth, Terrador is a battle-scarred warrior and the most militant of the four Guardians. He is dedicated and focused on the practical art of battle. His solid demeanor and skill of speech make him perfect for battle command. Not prone to erratic bursts of meaningless talk (Volteer) or prideful boasting (Cyril), or even fiery rage (Ignitus), Terrador is able to keep a level head in the face of greatest danger. He dislikes cowardice, but is wise enough to know when to retreat. He possesses the heart of a warrior and is the most powerful of the four Guardians when it comes down to brute strength. He does not judge others by their appearance or reputation, but by their skills in battle, having much admiration for Spyro, who proved himself in combat at such a young age.

 The Guardian Dragon of Ice, Cyril is a coldly confident and predominantly prideful dragon who constantly brags about supposedly royal ancestry. He is brimming with pride and arrogance, claiming that his lineage is that of some long-forgotten, yet great dragons. He does not hold his tongue when speaking and he can often be sarcastic, with Volteer usually being the target of these remarks due to the electric Guardian's incessant babbling. Despite his shortcomings, however, he knows when he should swallow his pride and do the right thing, admitting that Spyro is the way forwards and that he and his fellow Guardians must step aside.

  Volteer is the Guardian Dragon of Electricity. Quick-witted and fleet of foot, this lightning dragon says more than necessary and simply explodes onto any subject that sparks his interest. He is the most intellectual of the Guardians, though he and Cyril don't get along very well. Well-versed in lore and legend of the dragons of old, he is only too happy to add to any tale. As a wyrm of words, his spectacular speech will sizzle your sound sensors and burst your brain cells. And according to Sparx in The Eternal Night , his stories "will put anyone to sleep." Volteer may very well have swallowed a Thesaurus with all that he can fit into one sentence! Nevertheless, he is a friend and fellow to all, though none can keep that electric tongue of his from constantly wagging.
