Trivia[]
- The Red Death will appear in Pooh's Adventures of How to Train Your Dragon.
- The Red Death has the distinction of being the only main antagonist from the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy to be a dragon. Drago Bludvist and Grimmel the Grisly, his successors, were both humans.
- The Red Death is the first Dragon in the series to actually be somewhat evil. The second is Drago's Bewilderbeast and the third is the Deathgrippers. However, unlike Drago's Bewilderbeast who redeemed himself after his evil master Drago Bludvist's defeat, the Red Death never redeemed himself, and in the Deathgrippers' case, Grimmel drugged them with their own venom (though, it's implied that they were already dangerous before Grimmel brainwashed them).
- The Red Death's defeat is, without a doubt, one of the most violent, painful, gruesome, and agonizing deaths in the entirety of DreamWorks' history; He is blown up and torn apart from the inside once Toothless shoots a plasma blast down his throat causing his methane fuel to ignite.
- The Red Death acts as a dark counterpart to Toothless. Both dragons have experienced fighting against humans for the safety of their species. However, Toothless has his own moral center, as he truly cares for other dragons like him, whereas the Red Death only cared about himself. Furthermore, Toothless was able to willingly bury the hatchet with the human race after meeting Hiccup, while the Red Death fully refuses to do the same thing. The Red Death demonstrates what Toothless could've been if he never saw the entire humankind beyond their threatening aspect.
