The Boneknapper Part 2
Boneknapper
The Boneknapper is well-protected in its armor while it gets close and delivers a potent stream of fire to its fleeing opponents.Even the toughest of dragons need protecting every now and then. This was the case with a weaken Boneknapper that crossed paths with Eret. After taking care of the armored dragon, the two formed a friendship that has allowed vikings to bond with the Boneknapper’s eggs!
Eret had been following a trail of bones all day, and was quite concerned not knowing who or what was leaving them behind. It was a few hours before dusk when he encountered a weakened Boneknapper! While this Mystery Class dragon did not seem to have a lot of energy, it was still standing quite defensively in front of a nest of eggs!
The fame dragon wrangler was quite surprised! It was the Boneknapper who was leaving the trail of bones, mostly likely due to injury. Not wanting to scare the dragon away, Eret began the trek back to collect the bones. He returned the next day, with a bounty of bones for the Boneknapper, as well as smaller bones he had asked the other dragon trainers for the Boneknapper’s eggs.
Eret finally arrived to the Boneknapper’s nest and laid the bones halfway between them. After a good long stare the thundering dragon realized Eret simply wanted to help.
This spontaneous friendship has led to the vikings on campus to train and bond with the Boneknapper eggs! Will you be bonding with one of these shielded dragons?Early concept art from Nico Marlet resemble a Sword Stealer more, as the dragon appears to have arrows, chains and an axe attached to its very body.Eventually, the Boneknapper head evolved into one more similar to that of a Monstrous Nightmare. One by Nico depicted a triple-split tail and two pairs of wings. Most of the design development centered around the bone placement, as well as type of bones used for the dragon. Most, for example, depicted a smaller skull at the tip of its tail, or larger bones along its vertebrae.Egg
The Boneknapper Egg appears to be fragments and parts of bone, plated and fused together to form an egg. However, it is unlikely that the eggs are made of real bone, which is similar in composition to an egg shell.
A member of the Mystery Class, Boneknapper are built in a similar birdlike manner as the Deadly Nadder, albeit much larger. Their natural coloration seems to be a dull olive-green and gray, though it can be hard to see under their armor of bones. Unlike most dragons, which have hard scales to protect themselves from enemies, Boneknapper scales are thin and soft. To counter this weakness, Boneknapper cover themselves in the bones and horns of dead dragons and other animals. As a form of defense, they can use a huge concentration of bones, forming a club at the end of their tail to disarm or injure opponents. According to Dragons: Rise of Berk, the Titan Wing Boneknapper has orange, pinkish skin with many brown dots on its wings. They still retain their bone armor and most bones remain the same. However, the clubbed end of its tail becomes a smaller, sharp dragon skull. Fire Breathing
They can breath bursts of fire that are as large and powerful as that of the Red Death. It does not appear to be very hot as the gang was shown to be able to stay very close to it and the dragon ribcage that got burned was not charred.The Boneknapper main objective is to collect bones to protect itself. Gobber's Nemesis is special, since he will do what ever it takes to get the Terrible Terror pelvic bone, even if it means that he has to risk his own life to get it. The Boneknapper is known to create skeleton armor from the bones of other dragons. As their armored body can protect them from attacks for great defense. They are also able to create a club tail out of bones for smashing their opponents. Sometimes, this bone armor can be essential for the dragon to perform basic actions, such as roaring. The Boneknapper will often go to extreme lengths to find the bones it seeks, hunting down the fragments for years. Their stamina, as shown in The Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon, is very high to be able to fly and run well for long distances and show no sign of struggle. Their size is large and they have shown amazing strength to be able to wear bones of dragons as armor, can carry the weight of seven Vikings and a sheep on their body with no sign of struggle. They even have the ability to make a powerful roar that needs a special piece of bone, acting as a throat bone on its body in order to be released. This roar can also used as a mating call that can attract others of their kind. Boneknapper, due to their dependency on bones, spend a lot of time looting piles of dragon bones for the perfect pieces of armor. While they can spend years pursuing a single piece of bone, it is evident that these dragons are extremely determined and are perfectionists when it comes to maintaining their armor.It is also confirmed that as long as their objectives to collect perfect bone pieces is fulfilled, Boneknapper can be very calm and friendly towards human beings. This can be seen when Gobber gave up his lucky bone and instead of killing him, the Boneknapper affectionately nuzzled him and requested for him to stroke him. And when Gobber relented, the dragon too on a more stereotypical family dog portrayal, lying on its back and thumping its tail. The Boneknapper makes a brief appearance in the How To Train Your Dragon film. After Dragon Training, Hiccup reads through the Dragon Manual in order to find information on the Night Fury and ends up finding a page about the Boneknapper as he flips through the book.
