While gathering an eel for medicine for an Eel Pox epidemic on Berk, Toothless eats a red eel attacking Hiccup after he falls into eel infested waters.

Production notes

CG-animated series based on the Oscar-nominated and hugely popular 2010 motion picture adventure How to Train Your Dragon.

Hiccup is a young Viking who defies tradition when he befriends one of his deadliest foes - a ferocious dragon he calls Toothless. Together, the unlikely heroes must fight against all odds to save both of their worlds. Through their training, the kids are finding out the cool things dragons can do. Not only will they learn more about their dragons, they'll also discover new ones and battle against enemies as they explore worlds they never dreamed existed.
