Even after they bonded and started coming up with all those battle tactics together, I still thought it was a bit weird. Also, seeing Dagur responding to this majestic and intelligent animal in a way I could only call ‘underwhelmed’ set my teeth on edge. It’s not the best personality for a Dragon like Shattermaster. Even when trying to be a better man, he was always kind of a maniac. I have a soft spot for Gronckles, but even among those beautiful beasts, Shattermaster stood out as more intelligent and resourceful than any of his pack. There are a lot of wild Dragons we were keeping track of near The Edge, looking for those we might tame. The thought of Shattermaster and Dagur working together was a bit of a ‘what the Thor’ moment for me.

Although there is something of truth in these speculations, the truth might be a bit closer to the heart.įishlegs, who fancies himself somewhat of an expert in Dragon Sociology has this to say on the matter: There has been a lot of speculation as to what happened to Shattermater between being injured by a boulder while saving The Edge from Dragon Hunters and his brief return as the ring bearer in Dagur and Mala’s wedding. But, surprisingly, these two make an excellent team.

This small and happy Gronckle was definitely NOT what Dagur expected for his first dragon. 2.2 Being Rescued and Fighting the Dragon Hunters.
