'How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World' To Introduce Five New Dragons

FISHMEAT

Fishmeat is not exactly new, but he is the cutest of them all – an infant Gronckle whom Fishlegs carries around throughout the film in a pouch on his armor.

“In the script, there was this idea that Fishlegs becomes a surrogate parent to one of the Gronckles and he would take this baby everywhere since he’s such a dragon nerd,” Simon shared. “Early on in one of the animation tests, we tested giving Fishlegs a backpack and sticking the baby in it, and then later on we thought, ‘Well, what if it’s like a Babybjörn?’ And that just really worked. We sold the producers and Dean on it immediately. There was so much humor that could then be written into the script just by adding that idea, and that relationship was really cute to develop.”
