Fishlegs Ingerman

"Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like if your mind was still in control of it, you could have killed that dragon from the inside, by... crushing its heart, or something."

- Fishlegs Ingerman Fishlegs Ingerman is one of the Berk Dragon Academy's smartest dragon trainers, third-in-command and is a member of the Hairy Hooligan tribe. Knowing the book of dragons intimately, Fishlegs rides on his gronkle Meatlug.

Appearence


Fishlegs is clearly the largest of the teens (especially in girth), his skin covered in freckles and cheeks rosy. His entire body is covered in a large, sleeveless fur coat, dark green pants and yak boots. He has a crop of blonde hair under a small, simplistic viking helmet.

In the 2nd movie Fishlegs is wearing the same furry outfit only this time with furry armbands, a belt with pockets and a helmet with something that resembles little gronckle wings witha five a clock shadow on his face.

Personality
Easily excited from an educational standpoint, Fishlegs has read the book of dragons over seven times, and spouts statistics about the dragons much like a modern teenager would an RPG.

After the events of the film, Fishlegs plays a more proactive role amongst the teens, favoring and applying book smarts over "the viking way" and Hiccup's more direct method of taming dragons. Though more familiar with self-defense than Hiccup (who is shown to be willing to fight if needed), Fishlegs displays a more cowardly approach than the other vikings, avoiding conflict when he can.

He and his dragon, Meatlug, share a deep, emotional relationship, as the two are sad when they are apart, as shown when the dragons were exiled to the Dragon's Nest, or when Meatlug and the other dragons got sick after Mildew planted the blue oleander plant around Berk to kill the dragons. Fishlegs and Meatlug are, as said previously, extremely close in the series. They have a rather odd nurturing relationship, Fishlegs pouring compliments on her as often as possible, and Meatlug seems to always try and console Fishlegs when he becomes upset. Fishlegs occasionally refers to himself as "Daddy" when speaking to her.

Powers and Abilities
Despite his pacifistic tendencies, Fishlegs is capable of defending himself if needed. In the series, it is shown that if his patience is pushed too far, Fishlegs goes into a berserker rage, where he is shown to pick up a wheel-barrow full of heavy weapons with his bare-hands and throw it overboard.

Weapons
Prefering not to fight, Fishlegs isn't seen with a weapon very often, nor does he seem to hold a preference. However, he has been shown with a different range of weapons, including swords, maces and shields.

Role in the Crossover
Much like the rest of the Berk Dragon Academy, Fishleg's role is severely downplayed and is pushed to the side as a supporting character.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
In the original novels, Fishlegs and Hiccup were close friends. In the film, Fishlegs is the only one who neither picked on him, made fun of him or really interact with him on an level. When Hiccup began to suceed in dragon training, he joined the other teens in his admiration of him. Later, Fishlegs learns how to fly on a dragon from Hiccup and ends up flying and owning the Gronckle used in Dragon Training, which he later names Meatlug. His analysis of dragons becomes invaluable for the rest of the Vikings when he identifies the characteristics and weaknesses of the Red Death. In the series, Hiccup and Fishlegs has been shown to have grown closer as friends, being able to match each other in an intellectual level and even acts a third-in-command (second to Astrid), helping re-write the book of dragons for the sake of taming dragons rather than killing them.

Jack Frost
The odds of Snotlout being able to see Jack is often left for debate, but Berk's worship of the Æsir would lead to his belief in Jokul Frosti (Jack Frost's scandenavian counterpart), allowing a chance for Fishlegs to interact with Jack.

Merida DunBroch
Being one of the few benign vikings on Berk, Fishlegs and Merida would be able to get along with each other more so than she would with the other vikings. His nervous attitude however would get on her nerves and could lead to very brief conflict.

Rapunzel Corona
Snotlout's interaction with Rapunzel is seldom touched apon in the fandom, but it can be assumed that their mutual curiosity and compassion would allow the two to get along.
