How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

As the son of a Viking leader on the cusp of manhood, shy Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III faces a rite of passage: he must kill a dragon to prove his warrior mettle. But after downing a feared dragon, he realizes that he no longer wants to destroy it, and instead befriends the beast – which he names Toothless – much to the chagrin of his warrior father.

In How to Train Your Dragon, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “dragon‑tinged Viking world”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, fear, tradition.
