Universal Orlando shared a look at the new Toothless and Hiccup interaction coming to How to Train Your Dragon-Isle of Berk in Epic Universe.

This is one of the most highly anticipated character interactions coming to Epic Universe and this is impressive technology Universal has used to create this realistic looking Toothless dragon.

Here is a closer look at Toothless! I imagine this character interaction will be one of the most popular in Epic Universe since Toothless is such a beloved DreamWorks character.

How to Train Your Dragon Land Features Many Dragon Interactions

Guests can also meet Astrid and Stormfly, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, and more. Other confirmed dragon interactions include Cloud Jumper, Grump, and Snow Wraith from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.

According to Universal, guests will be “constantly surrounded by the endless number of dragons that take flight in the skies” which also includes the “Monstrous Nightmare or Gronckle” soaring above.
