Snotlout, obviously still frightened, tries to resist, until Hiccup calms him and places Snotlout's hand on Hookfang's snout, and he begins to growl in a purring manner. When Hiccup brings Hookfang closer to the others, he grabs Snotlout's arm so he can touch the dragon. Ironically, Snotlout is terrified enough to prepare a broken end of a spear as a weapon, in case Hookfang starts attacking, but Astrid nudges him to put it down. Everyone is astounded by this, except for Astrid, who already knew what Hiccup was capable of. Later, when Hiccup is trying to get his friends to connect with the dragons and help fight the Red Death, Hookfang is the first one he brings out. Hiccup was given the chance and instead, tries to connect to him and show the Vikings that dragons are not monsters, but after an outburst from Stoick, he becomes startled and begins to attack Hiccup in defense, until Toothless comes and protects his friend from the much bigger dragon, having no difficulty in subduing the enemy. In the film, like the other main characters' dragons, Hookfang was kept prisoner at dragon training and the top of the dragon training class would have the 'honor' of killing him.
