What if Stoick never died?

If Stoick never died, Hiccup likely wouldn't have fully embraced his role as chief as quickly, remaining more in his father's shadow, though Stoick intended for Hiccup to take over, possibly leading to a smoother transition with Stoick as a supportive advisor, or a prolonged training period where Hiccup still grappled with leading, but with his father present for guidance and support, rather than the profound catalyst of loss driving his immediate transformation into the leader Berk needed, altering the dramatic arc seen in the films.

What would happen if Toothless killed Hiccup?

If Toothless killed Hiccup, it would shatter the human-dragon bond, likely leading to Toothless's demise through starvation or further conflict, while Berk would face endless war without its leader and dragon master, with potential shifts in leadership (like Snotlout becoming chief) and the loss of the dragon-human cooperation future entirely, as explored in fan theories and fanfiction.

Night Furies are rare because they were hunted to near-extinction by dragon hunters, especially the villain Grimmel, who targeted them for being the most dangerous and intelligent dragons, capable of camouflage and stealth, making Toothless the last known one. Their rarity also stems from their specific habitat needs (warmer climates, not cold) and natural behaviors, like staying hidden at night, making them hard for Vikings to find even before the hunts began, according to sources like the How to Train Your Dragon Wiki.
