Answer
The Bewilderbeast
In How to Train Your Dragon 2, the villain’s dragon-control weapon is the Bewilderbeast.
The Bewilderbeast is a colossal alpha dragon that Drago Bludvist uses to control other dragons. Its ability to command dragons makes it a strategic weapon in Drago’s attempt to build a powerful army. The creature’s size and authority also place it at the center of the film’s conflict over how humans and dragons should coexist.
The film presents the Bewilderbeast as an alpha capable of influencing other dragons, rather than simply as a large animal. It ultimately confronts the alpha dragon connected with Valka’s sanctuary and becomes part of the battle for control over the dragon population.
The name is often confused with the Red Death, the giant dragon defeated at the end of the first film. They are different creatures appearing in different films.
