In DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon Legends season 1 episode 2 "Book of Dragons," viewers are taken on an educational journey through the Dragon Manual, a comprehensive guide that outlines all known dragon species and how to train them. The episode begins with a class of dragon enthusiasts, including Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, and Snotlout, who are eager to learn more about dragons and how they can become better dragon riders.
Gobber, the resident dragon expert, leads the class as they delve into the pages of the Dragon Manual. He introduces them to new species of dragons, including the Terrible Terror, the Gronckle, and the Nadder. As the class learns about each dragon, Gobber offers tips and tricks on how to train them, including what foods they like, how to approach them, and their weaknesses and strengths in combat.
In addition to learning about individual dragons, the class also learns about dragon communication and the different types of dragon fire, including gas, acid, and plasma. Gobber demonstrates how different types of dragon fire can be used in battle and how to protect oneself from it using shields and other defensive techniques.
As the class progresses through the Dragon Manual, they are introduced to the legendary Book of Dragons, a powerful tome that contains knowledge on every dragon that has ever existed. The Book of Dragons has been passed down through generations of Viking dragon trainers and is considered one of the most valuable and coveted items in all of Berk.
Gobber tells the class the story of the Book of Dragons and how it came to be in their possession. He explains that the book was created by a group of dragon trainers who sought to compile all of their knowledge on dragons into one comprehensive volume. The book was painstakingly crafted over many years, with each page containing intricate illustrations and detailed descriptions of dragons from all over the world.
Despite its enormous value, the Book of Dragons is kept in a secret location, known only to Gobber and a select few other dragon trainers. This is because the Book of Dragons contains information on the most powerful dragons in the world, including the legendary Night Fury. If the book were to fall into the wrong hands, it could spell disaster for the entire Viking community.
After the class concludes, Hiccup and his dragon Toothless sneak away to try and find the location of the hidden book. Their curiosity gets the better of them, and before they know it, they find themselves in a precarious situation. They must use all of their skills and knowledge of dragons to stay alive and find their way back to safety.
