Son of Viking chief Stoick, wants to be a fierce Viking like his father, but he simply… isn’t. What Hiccup lacks in physical strength and fighting skills, he makes up for in brainpower and problem-solving skills. Hiccup is sincere and always wants to do the right thing, even when it’s hard or goes against the grain.
