The Timberjack is a Sharp Class dragon that appeared in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
Appearance[]
The Timberjack is a large Sharp-Class dragon with huge wings! Native to dense, wooded area, Timberjacks are acutely sensitive creatures that prefer the peace and solace found in their beloved forests. But don't let their introspective demeanor fool you. When attacked, betrayed or offended, Timberjacks will flail their expansive wings, whose edges are razor-sharp — sharp enough to shear through the thickest tree trunk and still not slow down a Timberjack's flight.
Those huge wings do more than just fell trees. On the ground, Timberjacks can fold their wings around weary riders like a makeshift tent, offering warmth and protection from the elements and other dragons! They have a wingspan of 90 feet and a weight of 900 lbs.
Timberjack eggs look like they have been formed with layers of leaf-like shell from the base that are folded up to the tip. Its shell is segmented vertically and the tip is pointed. As it has a wider base, it resembles a pear or rosebud in shape. A Timberjack possesses a long serpentine-like body, with short spines along its back ending in an ordinary pointed tail. Their wingspan is huge, and each wing has two hooks in the middle of each wing, on opposite ends, pointing in opposite directions. The dragons use them as weapons, more accurate slicing and as legs. Timberjacks have long necks, a stout head, two horns, and several tendrils coming out of their chins.
Fire[]
The Timberjack spits a fire similar to the Monstrous Nightmare's, although it is slightly more sticky and globulous, and significantly hotter. It resembles burning embers and creates beautiful glowing sparks. The Timberjack will occasionally secrete a few drops of its oil-based fire to burn the kindling wood it has chopped and collected. It can, then, fold its wings around the fire like a tent to warm itself. The Timberjack is capable of unleashing an extremely powerful Fire Nova attack, which appears to be a supercharged version of its fire breath, capable of striking multiple targets at once and causing devastating damage.
Powers[]
Timberjacks are shown to have great speed and agility, in both land and air, and possess excellent maneuverability, mostly due to their large wings. Timberjacks have quite the stamina, flying and gliding over oceans while showing no sign of fatigue. They can endure almost anything, capable of handling extreme punishment by using their powerful wings as shields. The Timberjack's broad, razor-sharp wings can cut through a forest of trees. Physically, their main weaponry is their wings. They can be used for offensive or defensive goals. According to Dragons: Rise of Berk, the Timberjack's wings are not only great at slicing trees, but they are also tough and have the ability to absorb a great deal of punishment. The fact that they have strong wings was later reinforced in School of Dragons as it has the 'tough' factor. Tmberjacks have two hook-like claws on each wing. They use them them as limbs to walk on, and as more delicate and specific cutting instruments, capable of slicing almost everything.
Timberjacks can also fold their wings around themselves to form makeshift tents, utilizing them for both protection from external elements and for warmth, often collecting wood and timber and setting it ablaze before forming a tent, so as to keep warm during nighttime and the cold winter of Berk. They form tents when resting and sleeping, especially during nighttime, but also fold around their weary riders, protecting them.
Weaknesses[]
Due to the lack of legs, Timberjacks are extremely vulnerable on the ground, as they can't run away. If their wings are injured or they can't take off the ground, Timberjacks are almost immobile and are an easy target for hunters or predators.
Behaviour[]
Timberjacks are sensitive creatures and prefer peace and solitude in their forest homes. They do not take to being disturbed and will respond violently. If attacked, offended, or betrayed, they will start flailing their massive wings, which are as sharp as guillotines. Timberjacks seem to enjoy slicing objects, especially trees and wooden structures, utilizing their massive sharp wings to level forests and slice trees and buildings, often collecting what remains for kindle wood or for construction material for their nests. While resting, sleeping, or even cold, Timberjacks will fold their wings up like a giant tent, burn collected timber and put it inside their tent like shape and use a small breath of their oily flames to warm themselves up. They also make nests out of the wood and logs and prepare it in a similar fashion.
