Sentinels are dragons that appeared in DreamWorks Dragons: Race To The Edge.
- "Although sightless, the Sentinels still keep close watch over the dragon graveyard on the Isle of Vanaheim.
Often mistaken for stone statues, the Sentinels remain absolutely still when they allow ailing dragons to enter Vanaheim. But at first hint of an intruder, these sentries defend the sacred burial ground with sonic screeches and downdraft wingblasts. Born blind, sentinels have evolved their senses of hearing and smell to hyper-keen levels, making them incredibly alert. Yet despite their fearsome appearance, Sentinels show a a softer side by caring for the old and ill dragons who have come to spend their final days on Vanaheim.
If you're unsure how to handle an unfamiliar type of dragon, just follow a Sentinel's lead. These observant dragons have kept vigil over every class and every breed to pass into their cemetery, making them the dragon experts of the dragon world." - ―Dragonpedia
Description[]
These dragons are the mighty guardians of Vanaheim, an island where sick or old dragons come to spend their final days. Although Sentinels are blind, their sense of smell and hearing are extremely developed. Because they have encountered every type of dragon except the Night Fury, Sentinels know their every strength and weakness, and by beating their wings really hard they can create powerful wind currents. Their smell is similar to the fruit that grows in Vanaheim. As seen in Race to the Edge, by Hiccup and Toothless, you can seemingly escape Vanaheim through covering yourself in squished fruit.
Abilities[]
When taking too much damage these Boulder Class dragons will hibernate in order to heal themselves. Once one Sentinel is injured, the entire group will hibernate as well. Heat speeds up the healing process. They are also known to breathe fire that can ignite Zippleback Gas. These dragons also have sonic screech that could even knock down other dragons. They are also known to create thunderclap-like gusts of wind with their wings.
