Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is a young VIking who can't seem to do anything right. One night, he shoots down a Night Fury dragon with a powerful net, and tries to explain to the village that he really accomplished something. No one believes him, so he rushes to find the dragon.
He finds it and is determined to bring its heart back to the village to prove he really is a Viking after all. But out of pity, he can't bring himself to kill the dragon, and instead sets it free. The dragon, in a similar act of mercy, refuses to kill Hiccup and instead howls in his face, leaving.
Hiccup is put into dragon training--the field where he has to learn to kill a dragon--along with several other Vikings around his age. He is taught several things about dragons, but he keeps going back to the Night Fury--whom he names Toothless due to its retractable teeth--and finds out that all he's being taught about dragons is wrong. He uses his skills learned with Toothless to manipulate the dragons back to their cages without harming them, which ends up crowning him as the top of his class.
As he is about to run away from home, his friend Astrid happens upon him interacting with Toothless. He takes her on a ride on Toothless and they end up going to the Dragon Nest, which his father Stoick has been looking for for years. He decides not to run away, but instead show the Vikings the dragons' true nature.
However, his plan goes bad, and it ends with Toothless being captured and Stoick leading the Vikings on a trip to the nest. Hiccup is forced to teach his classmates how to ride dragons, and they fly off to save the Vikings and defeat the dragon "queen". Once they get there, Hiccup saves Toothless (with some help from his change-of-heart father) and manages to defeat the oversized dragon--though he loses his left foot in the process.
Hiccup and Toothless began living together in Berk, having united dragons and Vikings once and for all.

Stoick the Vast is Hiccup's father, and the leader of the Vikings. It was said that when he was a baby, he tore a dragon's head off its shoulders with his own hands. He is known for his strength, spunk, and one-sided conversations with Hiccup.
He longed to find the Dragon Nest, and it became an obsession of his. He was flat-out embarrased to have Hiccup as his son, due to Hiccup's un-Viking personality and looks. However, he was very brave and several times helped save Vikings' lives, including his son's.
One day, after coming back from an attempt to find the Dragon Nest, he found out that Hiccup had not only passed dragon training, but was at the top of his class. He was extremely proud of Hiccup for this, but after he found out Hiccup was only fighting dragons through unorthodox means--including keeping a Night Fury dragon of his own in secret--he denounced Hiccup as his son and used the Night Fury, Toothless, to lead him and the other Vikings to the Dragon Nest.
He only realized his mistake when a monstrous-sized dragon emerged from the nest, threatening to kill all the Vikings. Hiccup arrived and tried to rescue Toothless, and seeing his son's love for the dragon, he broke Toothless free of its bonds himself. After Hiccup and Toothless defeated the dragon, he apologized to his son and made amends. He then decreed that the Vikings and dragons would live together in harmony from then on.

Astrid is a young girl Viking who is determined to be the best in her dragon training class. However, her attempts are thwarted by Hiccup, who uses unorthodox methods in passing the class. She begins suspecting that Hiccup is cheating somehow, and follow him to a cove on day--only to find out that he has been keeping his own dragon, Toothless. While at first she is terrified of the dragon, she slowly warms up to Toothless after Hiccup invites her on a flight.
After Toothless is captured, Astrid helps HIccup rescue him and eventually helps the rest of the Vikings defeat the "queen" of the dragons. By the end of the film, she has developed a romantic relationship with Hiccup, and has a dragon of her own.
Voice actor : America Ferrera
Gobber is the town's blacksmith. He is in charge of creating weapons for the Vikings to use when facing off against dragons, and isn't afraid to go against dragons himself. He lost his hand and leg to the dragons years ago. And one more thing: Hiccup is his incompetent apprentice.
Gobber seems to understand Hiccup pretty well, and isn't at all embarrassed by him being unable to fight dragons. In fact, he seems to see Hiccup's weakness as a gift, perhaps one that could come in handy.
He is in charge of training young Vikings to fight dragons, and is very surprised at Hiccup's progression. When it is revealed that Hiccup has a dragon named Toothless, Gobber doesn't seem to be too surprised.
He fights alongside Stoick in the final battle of the film, risking his own life to save the rest of the Vikings. He also makes a prosthetic leg for Hiccup after the latter loses his in the battle.
Voice actor : Craig Ferguson
Fishlegs is one of the Dragon Riders of Berk and owns a Gronckle named Meatlug.
Fishlegs is big and chubby and very informed about the dragons, infact during the trainings with the other boys, he kept talking about the dragons weaknesses, strenghts, etc, which made his friends annoyed by him. He was very useful when the group has to face the Red Death because he could identify the weaknesses of the enemy dragon.
