Little mistake on my end! Windgnashers tend to have more of a icy blast attack. We don't see them use their fire power in the films, so the only reference we do have are the games, where they have the blast! (doesn't change their positioning in the video) I glossed over the firepower quite a bit as it wasn't to relveant to the dragons beeing Tracker, but thats not excuse for sloppy research. May bad :) Thanks to people for leting me know!

Can't wait for Fear and mystery class

[@Imthekingoftheworld-io8uj]

Deadly nadders are actually in both classes and who said nadders ain’t also sharp I mean sharp class symbols is a deadly nadder and the deadly nadders fire helped on the dragon eye to show sharp class dragons

[@AbsentConsistency]

I’m not even joking when I say that during the height of my httyd obsession I redid the entire classification system for all the dragons because I was so mad that they didn’t make any sense lmao. So seeing someone with similar opinions and complaints makes me way happier than it probably should….

[@Afeef_Adams]

so i wasnt the only one that was stupidly opsessed with httyd a few years ago

[@Ferril21]

I was the same xd. I had notebook that served as book of dragons to me and i changed some dragon classes, created my own dragons, made maps like Hiccup in the second movie and stuff like that. Yeah and i deleted tracker class because it didn't make sence to me that their only characteristic was that they are good hunters.

[@thatmoththoth]

i mean i think it works, you know why? because back in the viking area they had STUPID classification systems, so it makes sense for the vikings to miss clasify these dragons.

Where is it if I may ask? It'd be neat to see it if you still have it.

That really makes sense if they are called thunderclaw if not they should be called stalkclaw or something that does not involve thunder cause it doesn’t really make sense but since I’m not the devs I respect their decision

[@peternagy6847]

Personally, I think the Tracker class itself is absolutely meaningless, with the criteria for it being way too vague, and the fact they tossed the Deadly Nadder in there who is meant to be the poster-child of the Sharp class is just downright stupid.

[@rocknpika1822]

Honestly I don’t even think the tracker class needs to exist it’s more of a sub class then a full blown one in my opinion

[@NewOrca]

Yeh, it needs a little more work

[@gobygal]

I think the best answer is to keep the original class system as shown from the first movie, to classify based on their biology, habitat and hunting strategy, and add a secondary class system based on what they are good at as tamed dragons, like tracking. The secondary classes would be a lot like how dogs are classified based on their old jobs they were bred for like herding, hunting, and companion dogs. Or with race horses vs work horses.

[@xaviermize4509]

That is a pretty good idea

[@itsturniptime3699]

[@thomasraymond7912]

I think it would make sense if dragons weren't limited to one class. Like deadly nadders would be classified as Sharp-Trackers.

[@knkayan9429]

you should do a theory on how all the dragons live in peace in the hidden world like screaming death and huge tidal dragons and skrill

[@omegon2540]

If any one knows one of the dragons in hidden world is tracker A rock eating hard shelled squat crystal horned lava spewing dragon called a gem breaker is a tracker class because it has good hearing

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

Getting rid of the fear class and replacing it with the Tracker Class is the dumbest thing to ever happen to the HTTYD series before it ended Especially in the sense of which dragons were moved as a result. - The Deadly Nadder is the FLAGSHIP of Sharp Class Dragons. I don't care how many games of fetch you play with Stormfly, that change is stupid. - The Hideous Zippleback is the FLAGSHIP of the FEAR Class. Being in the mystery class makes no sense, especially when we already know how the Zippleback works. gas + spark = BOOM. And no, having 2 heads does not justify being a mystery class. - The Snaptrapper should stay in the fear class as it's just a zippleback on steroids If you want to make the bullcrap excuse of the Fear class disappearing because the Vikings are no longer scared of the dragons due to training them. JUST BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRAIN A DRAGON DOES NOT JUSTIFY NOT BEING SCARED OF ONE, ESPECIALLY MORE DANGEROUS DRAGONS LIKE THE FLIGHTMARE, SPEED STINGER, AND WHISPERING DEATH. And hell, just have the frickin Rumblehorn be the flagship of the Tracker Class, as that's the dragon that prompted Hiccup to make a tracker class.

[@GuyWithAGreatsword]

I agree

[@wreylax6068]

I strongly disagree

[@FlintsForge6931]

look , I think mystery class is like the "where the feck is this going to go?" "eh mystery , it fits no other class" , so its basically a left over if it cant fit anywhere else , yeet it into mystery

[@namelessnavnls8060]

I'm still more than a little annoyed that Nadder got randomly re-classed as a tracker in like.. the THIRD movie.. For the longest time, there was no indication of a Nadder having a particularly noteworthy sense of smell. I'd say it's safe to say that it's quite similar to most non-Tracker class dragon senses of smell (ignoring the third movie entirely for now because I'm not done complaining about inconsistency.) It doesn't make sense for it to still be the symbol of Sharp class if it's now Tracker class, further throwing a wrench in these issues it has. And finally, if Nadders were as good at smelling as they've been alleged to be, why was Stormfly struggling to find the trainees in the maze Gobber set up in the very first movie? If she were truly a Tracker, it would've been easy for her to pinpoint their location and rush over, then keep tracking them if they moved until she eventually overwhelmed them. But no, she had to be _smart_ and cheat the maze to find anyone, of her own ability at least, I don't count smelling/hearing the Twins at point blank. And that's another thing, how did she NOT know the Twins were right in front of her (until they started making noise)? Are they saying that a Nadder can't recognize prey unless they've seen it first? Point-blank, she knows what Vikings smell like, the scent would be at its most powerful, so why in the world would she have _not_ attacked at that point?

[@1ishi7]

Even the School of Dragons game had mudraker as a tidal class originally, but for some reason its tracker now? I wouldn’t blame them either for thinking it was a tidal class. I mean.. look at it!

[@NewOrca]

To be fair when the Moldruffle initially released it said that was tidal as well.

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

I'm glad that this series is back and this video was pretty great.

[@hotbuffalolegs]

Can't wait for you to talk about the stoker class and how they are supposed to be the best with fire but they are the only ones who can 'run out' of fire like????

[@RiderBenDragon]

This was just a huge knowledge dump and I love it! And I see where you’re getting it with moldruffle I always thought it was a stoker class never a tracker class dragon anyway this video was incredible! Keep up the spectacular work!

[@sharksuperiority9736]

I love the idea of the tracker class, and it conceptually makes sense, it’s weakness just comes from being established so late in the franchise. Like you said, there is a lot of class overlap with tracker and the others, because it was added after all of the other classes which already included dragons with sensory abilities. If it had been created at the start then it could carve out a more firm set of characteristics, Night Furies wouldn’t get echolocation and Tracker would get to distinguish itself from the others. I also think the pain of this class is brought on by fundamental issues with the class system, which is kinda arbitrary. It’s based on “abilities” held by dragons, which is very loose but admittedly fitting for the shows time period. But the traits of each class just don’t make sense. Tidal class dragons aren’t distinguished for their abilities, but their habitat. So we’ve already broken the system Sharp class is defined by “spikes”, which is similarly a trait that most dragons have. The wiki mentions them all having venom but that blatantly isn’t true, Timberjacks, Hackatoo, and Eggbiters are all sharp class and they have no semblance of venom. And if venom was a defining trait, then why are Slitherwings mystery? The other trait of sharp is “vainness”, which is a anthropomorphic trait that non-human animals can’t comprehend (plenty of animals preen and clean themselves, but that isn’t because they’re vain). Stoker class dragons are distinguished for their fire, something that most dragons have. Stokers are just “more fiery” i guess, but that’s totally subjective. Nadder’s have the hottest fire of any dragon, why aren’t they Stoker? And don’t get me started on Strike and Mystery TLDR: Tracker Class doesn’t work, but that isn’t its fault. It was added too late into an already miserably flawed system

[@starcycle4308]

You said Submaripper and my immediate reaction was 'hey isn't it Tidal Class though -?'

[@WhispertheWolf]

"[The Windgnasher's] firepower is shooting small round balls of fire." I'm afraid that's incorrect. The Windgnasher is an ice dragon, its firepower being an icy blizzard blast. Its firepower was never seen in the films, but its frosty breath has been detailed in the games 'Dragons: Rise of Berk' and 'Dragons: Titan Uprising'. Not sure why the wiki steered you wrong here, guess it needs some correcting.

[@NewOrca]

Thanks! Yeh completly missed that. I didn't pay to much attention to firepower, as it's not to relvant for the Tracker Class

[@dragonkingeeveegen1484]

Nice work man can’t wait to see ones for the rest of the classes

[@hypnoticskull6342]

[@cha0s_552]

Submarippers have a bit of tracking, one could easily sense the vibrating knife when it was dropped into the water in race to the edge.

[@NewOrca]

Nah, there's no order :)

[@whitesage2066]

If i'm not mistaken Toothless is actually also a good tracker since he can throw some plasma waves and it's like an echo location. Not sure what is that all i know is him hiccup were being chased and toothless used that to escape.

[@NewOrca]

Toothless can use a form of echolocation like bats, sending sound waves out that bounce back to the user, enabling to navigate in areas where they cant see well.

[@Lady-Lin-Lin]

I love this series and cant wait for more but dont feel pressured to make these vidoes at a set time frame and it would be fine to have the bigger classes like mystery to be multiple parts

[@solysnivy]

Yesss, Tracker Class is one of my favorites

[@wither475]

Apparently the reason the Submaripper is a Tracker Class is because they can detect small vibrations in the water to hunt for prey. However, like you said for the Mudraker, it makes for sense still for a Tracker.

The mystery class is what used to be fear class (changed after vikings stopped fearing dragons) and is useed for dragons that do not fit into the other catagories, and dont have enough dragons with similar characteristics for a class to be made. The tracker class was made after they discovered enough dragons that had an insane sense of smell and an amazing ability to track there prey.

[@Qorvid20]

I wish some had more Tracker abilities. Like if Nadders could track where their spikes end up to find prey they've wounded.

[@joeybroekhuizen2589]

[@Firstcomefirstserve-tl3kh]

I'd assume that the submaripper was added due to these key details about it, one in the episode where the riders went to see what was up the submaripper seemed to be aware there was a lot of dragons in the area, and yes the scaldron I think is how its pronounced was in the area at the same time but even after it escaped the submaripper continued to use its ability to pull the riders in, although I do also think its a heavy sleeper, bro was sleeping like a rock when they came in the second time and only woke when rocks were flung at it, it also probably had similar sense receptors to the mudrakers, just a lot more, which gave it the ability to notice boats and dragons moving on top of the water from the floor, and considering its size it might have had to be a pretty deep area

[@snickerdoodles5223]

12:17 Something I’d mind is, knowing from the playing it since launch, outside of certain necessary points, both Rise of Berk and School of Dragons make no sense of canon beyond the first movie what so ever, so I’d say it’s not best to trust them alone. However, since these are really the only sources, I’d say the best guide would be School of Dragons since in comparison to the other game it has more room for explanation of species in the game, plus as seen with varying cases such as the terrible terror, the Stoker class is often used as a mix of Stoker and “all-rounders” as some said to be in it, such as the two species, don’t inherently have distinctive skills or traits which appoint them to a specific class.

[@mrgharial]

there are only two little bits of information I would include. there is a snifflehunch subspecies called the sneezlehunch which sneezes ice instead. not anything defining but a cool detail and the rockstomper/moldruffle can use its horns like a divining rod to find water and probably have a tracking ability like squirrels as they bury things. both are still where you placed them and aside from windgnashers and rumblehorns you could argue every other tracker class could be in some other class instead.

[@NewOrca]

that would proabalytt be more approaite for a video on that specific dragon spieces, the fire type isn't to relevant to the reasons why its tracker

[@mrgharial]

true. it is not a big difference in the class system being as theres an ice spitting dragon from 3-4 classes.

[@ameerkat3932]

The reason why the summer ripper actually a tracker is because of its sense of vibrations he has shown in the show that is very good at picking up and we'll actually react high levels of intelligence and also able to tell friend from foe based on instinct

[@carolynchurch4642]

The submaripper can sense tiny changes in the water.

It might be that nadders are labeled as trackers because that trait is more important to a rider than the sharp spines. Being able to track people or animals would be much more important for a village of people. Thus at first, when it was an enemy, it would be sharp because that's what a person fighting one would need to know, but as the village changed from hunters to riders of dragons and grew to understand the dragon's better, it became tracker.

2:52 The rumblehorn probably detected the tsunami the way elephants do. Elephants can sense the vibrations deep down in the earth. Therefore, they know beforehand, even before our sensors know, when an earthquake is coming. Tsunami’s also emit vibrations. When a constant vibration is coming from the ocean, that’s a tsunami and the elephants know when to run and hide. Elephants aren’t the only animals that can do this, but since rumble horns and elephants are the same size, I am guessing they are taken inspiration from.

[@testerwulf3357]
