And they spend time during the first movie trying to kill dragons they initially thought were evil before helping Hiccup rescue the adults from the Red Death.
Kid Hero: Astrid, Snotlout, the Twins and Fishlegs were teens (14-15) during the first movie, Riders of Berk, and Defenders of Berk. Horny Vikings: Many helmets have horns, and they're all nearly identical to the dragon's horns, which makes the trope justified - they're trophies. Had to Be Sharp: Elements of this due to the constant dragon attacks they had to face. Good Taming, Evil Taming: Thanks to Hiccup's teachings, the Hooligan Tribe embodies the "good" type of taming, learning to live alongside dragon-kind instead of fighting or enslaving them. Everyone Has Standards: Even Vikings know Gobber can get too smelly. In the movies? They're complete and utter morons with a perpetual cruel streak who exist merely for comedic relief. Depending on the Writer: The series incarnation of the Twins and Snotlout has Hidden Depths for each of them and Character Development for Snot in particular, with a lot of They Really Do Love Each Other moments, both with each other and with their friends. Dragon Rider: The first of the Viking tribes to perform this thanks to Hiccup. Even without dragons, however, they can hold their own. Badass Army: Subdued compared to other examples in the franchise, but with dragons they manage to defeat threats they greatly feared. Whereas once they fought a long, bloody war with the dragons, now they have made peace with them. Living on the island of Berk, the Hooligan Tribe has undergone great social change in recent years.
