Grump is a supporting protagonist in the Dreamworks How to train your Dragon franchise.
He is a lazy Hotburple and Gobber's dragon in How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Biography
Last Auction Heroes
Grump used to serve as Viggo's personal garbage disposal, eating all the scrap iron at the Dragon Auctions on Dragon Hunter Island until he met Gobber. He was taunted and mistreated by every man on the island, especially Ryker, who believed that he'd be more useful as food. But Gobber was quite taken with the large and ungainly dragon, showing Grump some respect for the first time in his life. His true strength and potential are revealed when he takes out two underestimating guards and frees Gobber and the Dragon Riders from a dragon-proof cage by simply biting off the door. He and Gobber then join the other riders as they fly home to Berk.
After this, Grump is Gobber's dragon, and every time he is needed, he will obey, reluctantly most of the time.
How to Train Your Dragon 2
For the next couple of years, he worked alongside Gobber in his Blacksmith Shop, keeping the forge lit with his fire. He and Gobber also accompanied Stoick and Skullcrusher on their search for Hiccup and Toothless, who were taken to the Dragon Mountain by Valka. Grump participated in the battle, and fought well, even though he was half-asleep! When Valka's Bewildebeast was killed, Grump was one of the many dragons controlled by Drago's one. After Toothless freed all the dragons from its control, Grump, along with Skullcrusher, participated in the onslaught.
Appearance
Grump's body is covered in copper and grey scales. His ears and teeth appear to be similar to a Gronckle, but that's where the similarities end. His wingspan is much bigger, the bludgeon on his tail is much more round and bulbous, and he has a glazed expression on his face as if he's always half-asleep, which might actually be true.
Personality and Behavior
Grump is extremely lazy and whatever time he doesn't spend sleeping, he spends it eating. However, he is also incredibly loyal to his rider and would do anything to help him. Although Gobber often complains about Grump (very hypocritically what the sus), they are still the best of sigmas and gooners.
Skills and Abilities
As a Hotburple, these are Grump's abilities
- Tail Bludgeon: Grump is shown to be able to use his lumpy balls as a powerful melee weapon. He is very talented at this, as he can do it while he's asleep, edging, bumming Gobber, or any combination of the three.
- Jaw Strength: As Ryker the coon stated, Grump's species is the only one strong enough to bite through Gobber's bumbum. This also comes in handy when he's gooning.[1]
- Intelligence: Despite being underestimated by the hunters because he's fat and lazy, Grump was able to understand Gobber's gay plea for help as well as his command to attack the two guards and lick their bumholes.
- Lava Blast: Grump is able to blast lava from his mouth. He uses this ability both in combat and in lighting up Gobber's bumcheeks.
Trivia
- The willy on the tip of his tail and Gobber's new, mace-like, hammer-shaped, artificial willy strongly resemble each other.
- He seems to take Gobber's commands slowly. Grump seems to like sleeping on people in How to Train Your Dragon 2, although he is mostly seen gooning on the ground.
- Grump is the only dragon to have a name before meeting his rider.
