The people and dragons of Berk learn to live together in peace. Young Vikings train their winged friends to fly, but not everything in the village goes smoothly.

The dragons are noisy and clumsy on the ground, and they do whatever they want. The Vikings accept the dragons as they are, but some disagree. For example, a farmer is upset because his cabbage is regularly destroyed by dragons. Hiccup and his team are entrusted with training the dragons to be well-mannered.
