The Typhoomerang is a large Stoker Class dragon that first appeared in Dragons: Riders of Berk.
Description[]
The Typhoomerang first appears in The Terrible Twos, and was one of the first new species of dragons discovered on the show. A baby Typhoomerang was accidentally found by Fishlegs and Meatlug and caused them to crash land, describing it as a "flaming squirrel". The same Typhoomerang then passes by Hiccup and Toothless, and after discovering it as a new species, Hiccup takes it back home with him, much to Toothless' dismay.
Back home, Stoick names the dragon Torch after it lights up the fire. However, Torch begins to annoy Toothless, stealing his food and his bed (which Hiccup later assumes is jealously). That night, Toothless hears enraged and panicking cries of an adult Typhoomerang: Torch's mother. As several days pass by, Toothless tries to warn Hiccup, but to no avail.
An adult typhoomerang will form a circle of fire around a predator/prey that could or will mean harm to their babies. It can also control firestorms or create one, by sparking themselves up and whirling in a circle. The ashes are shown to act as fertilizer. This is probably because plant ashes contain many nutrients that plants need.
Eventually, the group takes it to the Berk Dragon Academy to document it in the Dragon Manual, learning that it has incredibly sharp razor talons and is the first and only dragon that does not fear eels, even going so forth to eat one. Snotlout was excited to name it, coming up with names as they documented new facts about this species (i.e. Eel Eater, Sharp Claw, Flaming Comebacker, etc.) When they discovered it spinning around the academy revealing sparks as they burn the ground, leaving a distinctive swirling burn mark, they come up with similes that eventually led to its final name.
Thanks to their large wings a fully grown Typhoomerang can fly at high speeds, near that of a Night Fury. In shape and size, they are comparable to dragons such as a Timberjack.
Much later, the group discovers a large portion of the forest destroyed, with a large swirling marking in the middle. They conclude that it was caused by a giant Typhoomerang and Hiccup finally realizes that this was what Toothless tried to warn him about. Torch's mother suddenly shows up and gives chase after Hiccup, Toothless, and Torch (who kept following them instead of its mother). After they trick the adult Typhoomerang into crash landing, Torch is reunited with its mother and its two siblings, the family of Typhoomerangs flies off.
Defenders of Berk[]
The Typhoomerang made two appearances in Defenders of Berk so far. It appeared in the Season Premier when the teens study it as part of Dragon fight club. Then in The Night and The Fury, it made a brief appearance on Dragon Island.
Physical Appearance[]
Egg[]
The color of a Typhoomerang's egg determines what color the dragon will be. The egg looks rather unique, as it has swirls all over its surface.
Hatchling to Adult[]
Typhoomerangs are very large dragons, and they come in a variety of colors covering the whole spectrum. They have two large horns and orange eyes. They look like a mix-breed of a Monstrous Nightmare and a Timberjack.
Titan Wing[]
Titan Wing Typhoomerangs look almost exactly like their adult counterparts, with few differences. A Titan Wing Typhoomerang is mainly black, with some grey patches around its wings. The tip of its horns and parts of its belly, as well as their wing fingers are colored red. Their legs also have red claws.
Abilities[]
Firepower[]
The Typhoomerang's fiery breath resembles a large typhoon that can burn anything in its path except for those that remain right in the middle of it. This implies that the fire may not be intensely hot as none of the Riders were hurt when flying straight through the fiery tornado. A single shot of these flames spread continuously for several seconds, and reach hundreds of meters from the dragon's mouth. Typhoomerangs are also able to cloak themselves in a veil of flames, similar to how Monstrous Nightmares cover themselves in flames, and perform a drill-like lunge towards their foes.
Typhoomerangs can launch into the air and fire their flames in a spiraling manner, which they use to surround and trap foes and potential prey. The flames spiral closer and closer until they eventually engulf and scorch the target, as shown when Torch's Mother caught and killed a wild boar. A Typhoomerang's flames leave scorch marks on the ground, which apparently increase the fertility rate of the surrounding ground, enough so as to stimulate increased plant growth in the area.
Due to reasons unknown, consuming an eel recharges a Typhoomerang's shot count or increases their shot limit by an unknown amount, making them one of the few dragons that are able to recharge their shot limits immediately.
Typhoomerangs are also able to emit a shower of sparks from both their mouths and backs. The display is almost as dazzling as fireworks, and can be produced during flight, by adults as well as juveniles. These sparks leave burn marks in the ground, which may reveal how old the dragon is, how big it is, and where it went — similar to the rings in a tree.
Strength and Combat[]
Typhoomerangs possess immense strength, which combined with their large size and weight make them one of the strongest non-Alpha dragons known to Vikings. They can stop forest fires with the flaps of their massive wings, and uproot trees simply by walking into them. They can also effortlessly carry large dragons such as Hideous Zipplebacks on their backs while showing no signs of strain or effort. Typhoomerangs are strong enough to fight off, and heavily injure even dragons like the Razorwhip.
Typhoomerangs use their Stoker Class temperament to attack foes and use their size, strength, and relentlessness to outfight most opponents. They use their massive wings to both cause huge gusts of wind and form shields to protect them from most attacks. Their long tail is also use to whack their opponent as adult Torch did to Toothless when they reunited. Being a Stoker Class dragon that can manipulate fire and air to attack, Typhoomerangs can use their large, powerful wings to create a powerful blast of wind, which Torch used this to help Toothless and Barf and Belch redirect the forest fire before Hiccup ordered him to use the combined gathered wind to separate the flames, extinguishing them.
As shown by Torch as a baby, baby Typhoomerangs have razor sharp talons on their wings that can cut through paper and has incredible jaw strength, as both Ruffnut and Tuffnut were reacting in pain when Torch bit their nose. Torch was able to bite Toothless' tail, causing him a brief roar in pain after Toothless accidently tail swiped him after hearing his mother.
Speed and Agility[]
As shown by Torch, as a baby, Typhoomerangs have great speed and reflexes. This is shown shown when Toothless threw Torch aside, and before Toothless could even turn his head, Torch had returned. Torch also swiftly stole all of Toothless' fish before he even noticed. As adults, they seem to lose their original speed and agility, but in flight their large wingspan makes them fast enough to be able to steadily pursue even the fastest dragons, like a Night Fury.
Typhoomerangs are quite flexible, sharing similar stature with the Timberjack. Typhoomerangs are perfectly able to fold their huge and powerful wings together, such as when Torch gave a hug to his beloved, old trainer.
Endurance and Stamina[]
Typhoomerangs are capable of surviving crashing into multiple obstacles without much injury and are capable of enduring multiple shots and physical attacks from other dragons, such as Gronckles and Hideous Zipplebacks. Typhoomerangs also are capable of relentlessly pursuing their targets for long periods of time, showing no sign of fatigue or muscle strain.
As an adult, Torch is able to use his enormous wings to shield Hiccup and Toothless from being scorched alive and another Typhoomerang used it to resistant the receive blasts from other dragons like Gronckles.
Eel Consumption[]
Being immune to Eel Pox, Typhoomerangs are able to consume eels without suffering any of the ill effects caused by the Pox, making them one of the only three known species capable of eating eels.
Intelligence[]
As shown by Torch, Typhoomerangs can learn commands and hand signals, such as lighting up with fire, "wing raise", and "spin". With the last two, Torch helped the Berkians clear a big forest fire.
Weaknesses[]
Lack of Agility[]
Due to their large sizes, adult Typhoomerangs have trouble making sharp or sudden turns while in flight, needing more time to coordinate their moves, with failure to do so often resulting in their crashing into nearby obstacles or landing prematurely.
Recognizable Scorchmark[]
Their spiraling jets of flame are tornado-like in structure sporting a non-fiery center, which grows along with the flame the further it gets from the Typhoomerang. This opening can eventually get large enough for large dragons such as Hideous Zipplebacks and Monstrous Nightmares to fly through.
Behavior and Personality[]
Typhoomerangs are high strung, hot-headed and passionate dragons, and are extremely protective of their offspring and rather territorial. They use their spiral jets of flame to mark their territories, or as mating displays. Typhoomerang younglings tend to grow up very fast. Typhoomerangs tend to sleep and rest in caves and caverns that litter their forest home. Also like most dragons, they protect smaller creatures by folding their wings tightly into a cocoon-like casing. When hunting for food, Typhoomerangs use their flame vortex to trap and kill prey. In addition, Typhoomerangs have been known to hunt for aquatic prey (eels in particular) by skimming the water's surface and snagging their catch with their mouth.
