In How to Train Your Dragon 2, what is the name of Drago Bludvist’s enormous dragon?

The story behind the answer

In How to Train Your Dragon 2, Drago Bludvist’s enormous dragon is the Bewilderbeast.

The Bewilderbeast is a massive alpha-class dragon whose size and dominance make it central to Drago’s plan. Drago uses the creature’s ability to control other dragons as a weapon in his attempt to build an army.

The film presents the Bewilderbeast as a rival to the alpha dragon associated with Valka’s sanctuary. This conflict helps expand the series’ mythology beyond individual dragon species and introduces a hierarchy in which certain powerful dragons can influence others.

The Bewilderbeast is often confused with the Red Death from the first film. Both are gigantic dragons, but they belong to different stories and serve different narrative roles. The Red Death is the final threat in the 2010 movie, while the Bewilderbeast is the dominant dragon connected with Drago in the sequel.
