*sweeps away all the tomatoes and beer bottles left over from the "We Hate Puns" crowd*
It's hardly any secret that, as of my typing this, Zootopia has burrowed straight into my heart (and is still the only channel my brain can get). But it's going to have to share the heart space with How To Train Your Dragon, which has a guaranteed permanent residence there.
See, while I do struggle on occasion to truly answer the question "What's my favorite movie?", HTTYD is the official answer because it might as well have been custom-tailored by me, for me.
#1: It's by DreamWorks Animation, who had been responsible for my previous #1 and #2 favorite movie (Shrek & Kung Fu Panda).
#2: It's about dragons. Which are kind of like pizza: Incredibly difficult to get just right, but even harder to completely ruin.
#3: It's about Vikings. Those are my ancestors on my mother's side.
#4: Its U.S. release date was March 26th. That's my birthday.
So when Deva gave me the okay to help investigate the Terastas theory (which is, in a nutshell, that there's something that just randomly came by the name Terastas and which more or less fills the same role in every given dimension), I knew the first place we had to look for one (assuming we could even get there) was the Dragon continent.
And wouldn't you know it: There he is. And sharing my coloration no less.
Deva: "Not to mention your parenting habits."
Umm. . . ^^;
We haven't had any contact with him (and I probably never will, just in case two Teras meeting each other could wipe out time or whatever), and he doesn't speak any languages that any of us understand, but near as we can tell, NadTer was one of the first dragons reared to adulthood after the Red Death alliance peace accord. . . thingy. . . Um, yeah, and he took to humans quite well compared to his kin.
Like. . . Too well. Like the first time he was ridden against the Berserkers, he thought they were playing and tried to cuddle one of them. His only real function has been for early education -- in giving the children of Berk a (relatively) safe and secure experience before Dragon Academy. Beyond that, the residents of Berk pretty much dismiss him as a mostly harmless goof.
Mostly harmless because, as you can see, he does have a habit of asserting ownership of his favorite Vikings via his craw for extended periods of time. And by the look of that belly, he might even have a "favorite dragon" or two as well.

You know how, in Final Fantasy games, there's always a character named Cid? It's sort of the same idea.
Currently, the theory is that every Terastas will be an observer -- a character who will wind up in the best possible position to know (for lack of a better word) all the important things one would need to know about any given setting, and who is guaranteed to survive whatever events unfold within the setting. In a nutshell, it will either be the narrator or a close associate of the narrator.
In my case, that means staying at home with the kids and being a confidant to a centuries-old ninetales. And in the case of NadTer, it means he knows every single Viking in Berk from riding/husbandry training and is free to observe and listen in on whatever happens (as long as he isn't "asserting ownership" of anyone with anything better to do).
