#HTTYD Ruffrunner

A little style practice where I push a little cartoony-ness into my art~

Also a very rare moment where I draw only canon furies instead of my OCs, lol~

The Night Lights! :D

Ruffrunner is truly my favorite of the furies. Astrid in the SOD said that he would grow to be the largest of the night lights. I like to think about it and imagine just a huge fury, bigger than Toothless. He looks dangerous. And yet he remains one of the most powerful dragons, therefore, even being with a gentle, peaceful character, he can devour someone if necessary XD

I've given up on keeping a style the same! XDD Here are my versions of the night lights! Pouncer is the future alpha, Dart is an explorer of the Hidden World and the Human World, and Ruffrunner is the strongest!!

Happy New Year 2025

We are finally in the year of the live-action Httyd, here is a small timeline of the important events of these years in the format of the Furies protagonists (and some similar extras).

Pouncer or ruffrunner please?

He's not named Pouncer for nothing

Dragon(s) #119 - Pouncer and Ruffrunner

Something I’ve been working on in between lab, classes, and homework

I wanted to distinguish the two different Fury subspecies and the Nightlights

Lore yapping under the cut

Night Furies are known for their dark complexion. These striker class dragons are normally seen in dense forest or high mountains. They are extremely fast and agile in the air, often seen flying through thunderstorms since they have the unique ability to harness stray lightning and momentarily ‘disappear’. Night Furies are opportunistic hunters. They have high adaptability and will migrate where the food is. They are generally more muscular with females being larger than males.

Light Furies are cousins of Night Furies adapted to cold climates. Their snow white scales blend in with icy surroundings with their inner fire keeping them warm. They are semi-aquatic, evolving extra membranes that help them move quickly through the water. Their scales are very reflective making it very easy to camouflage if they fly through a fire ball. They mainly prey on fish, squid, or seals, but will eat other animals if no other food source is available. Light Furies are slimmer and not as fast flyers as Night Furies are, with males being larger than females.

Both species are very social, forming family units until their offspring are old enough to start their own family.

Night Furies, however, are more aggressive. Night Fury courting consists of females fighting each other in aerial combat to see who is stronger. The winner will then pick what male she wants. Usually, females will pick males that have shown good hunting skills prior to mating season.

Light Furies are rarely aggressive unless backed into a corner or have a developed distrust. In the face of danger, they would prefer to flee or camouflage rather than fight. Light Fury courting consists of females going up to a male she is interested in and preforming a dance. If he can respond back with a dance that she approves of, she will accept him. Otherwise, she will find another male.

When it comes to Nightlights, I imagine them a lot like ligers or tigons (lion-tiger hybrid). Night Furies and Light Furies are close enough to produce successful offspring, but not without complications due to the amount of chromosomes the Nightlights get from each parent.

Dart inherited more Night Fury chromosomes from Toothless, making her appear more like a female Night Fury with some white spots and Light Fury blue eyes. Like female ligers, Dart can produce offspring with a Night Fury or a Light Fury, but not with other Nightlights.

Pouncer inherited more chromosomes from Luna (what I call the Light Fury from HTTYD 3), making him appear more like a male Light Fury with black spots, longer ear nubs, a shorter Light Fury sail, Night Fury spines, lacking Light Fury leg membranes, and Night Fury yellow eyes. Normally male ligers are infertile, but I figured since Pouncer has enough Light Fury DNA, he can theoretically produce offspring with a Light Fury, but not with Night Furies or other Nightlights. He has low fertility though.

Unlike Dart or Pouncer, Ruffrunner inherited a more even amount of chromosomes from both Toothless and Luna, making him appear like a male Night Fury with Light Fury legs and sail. The end of his ear nubs are also more rounded like a Light Fury. Due to his chromosome imbalance, he is infertile and would not be able to reproduce naturally at all.

In the wild, Nightlights are a rare occurrence, but not impossible. It typically happens when a Night Fury migrates to a region where Light Furies reside and most of them are pairing between a female Light Fury and a male Night Fury. Female Night Furies are generally too aggressive for male Light Furies to attempt courting.

Ruffrunner is willing to do anything to save the remaining egg, and it seems as though he won't be fighting alone.

(Sorry that it's taken SO LONG to get this page done. ;v;)

So I've got this httyd au idea that I've been sitting on for awhile now, I guess it could be considered as a rewrite or something but I don't see it that way. Anyway here's some ideas for my Colourful Nights AU, I'm still working out the factors so it's not the best.

There's going to be more of my thoughts under the cut (aka the usual Hauntley rambling)

First and foremost, the idea to give Grimmel a night fury comes from this post on reddit

Before seeing this I had 100% planned to just... Not have Grimmel exist in the Colourful Nights au? I kind of hate his whole- thing?

I had the idea of Grimmel seeing what Drago did and deciding that where the man failed was not in trying to control dragons, but instead that he didn't try to control powerful dragons specifically. I know that Toothless is supposed to be an endling, but I think the idea of Grimmel slowly building his own dragon army but with dragons he considers powerful and having a few night furies is cool so. Maybe he kept a couple of night furies back during the mass fury hunts, because having them bend to his will makes him feel powerful? Or maybe he only had one. I'm not sure if I'll even keep it but I like the idea.

For my light fury design (I call her Clearscales), I liked the idea of her being a night fury with some sort of genetic mutation, and I'm not sure if I want to keep the disappearing act or not? I like it but I don't know if it would still work if I gave her darker scales, but also! Would I be able to call her Clearscales still? :( That's a very important part, because I've gotten attached to the name.

I also had an idea that relates back to a fact about the Dramillion titan in rtte, it has the ability to camouflage itself like a changewing because they're distantly related, implying that titans have access to traits the normal members of their species don't have.

So what if Toothless' lightning isn't an inherent night fury skill, but instead a trait of night fury titans? Maybe it's due to a possible distant relation with skrills? I always liked the idea that the "lightning" part of "Offspring of lightning and death" was because their blasts look somewhat like a the result of a lightning strike (at least in the 1st movie), but maybe it's also because a titan was witnessed doing this, and because the second and third movies imply that after the first transformation, the titans don't look any different from the normal members, people just assumed that it was something they could all do, and ontop of everything else, it led to a mass panic and hunt?

I'm all over the place and am in no way coherent, but that's my dumb little idea, if you're reading this I can't believe you actually read what I wrote, or scrolled down through it at least. Thank you :)
