With its long neck, the Scauldron has a long firing range and tin can boom an entire transport in a thing of seconds. Being ocean-based, the Scauldron will not typically attack on land.

Development
Originally, the Scauldron was going to be much smaller, around the size of a Monstrous Nightmare, with a shorter neck. Early concept art depicts the Scauldron with a thin membrane within its rima oris, covering the lower jaw when information technology's not filled with water.
Physical Appearance
Egg
In School of Dragons, Scauldron eggs are blue in color, ranging from turquoise to cyan and even shades of dark green. They are ellipsoidal in shape. Simply in Dragons: Ascension of Berk, they look the same, except that they take a clear liquid flowing off its pinnacle that resembles water, yet more sticky.
Hatchling to Developed
This dragon is gigantic, growing up to a size nearly the same as many giant cetaceans. It is a huge sea dragon that walks on four chubby and powerful legs. They have intense obesity to rut the h2o they suck in. Its tail is like that of a fish, helping it to swim. When filled with h2o, the Scauldron's tummy protrudes out and becomes very round. Its neck is very long and thin, and its caput is usually fairly slender with its bottom jaw having a sort of pouch that hangs from its chin. When information technology is out of water for a long time, it begins to dehydrate due to which its pare turns into a shade of greyness.
Its bottom jaw is very flexible, and it bulges out when filled with water. The bulging of its jaw is an indication that it is going to shoot boiling water. Its optics are located almost the front of its face, and information technology has a thin, curving nasal horn. It has peg like teeth that are ideal for communicable fish, very sharp, and as well happen to be venomous. Two or more whisker-like strings are connected to the Scauldrons' upper jaw. They have only been seen in iii colors: turquoise, green, and pale blue, although they change colour into parched gray when their body loses wet and, according to Mildew's Misery's clarification in Dragons: Rise of Berk, into nighttime blue after eating a big amount of Bluish Oleander flowers. These colors are close to that of the ocean and it could serve equally a form of camouflage.
In Dragons: Race to the Edge, orange and yellowish Scauldrons were seen, revealing it is possible for Scauldrons to come in other colors.
Titan Wing
Titan Fly Scauldrons are dark blue in colour and their tail fin and wings take an elaborate pattern of water droplet shaped pink spots. There are tints of light blue and royal on its wings besides. Likewise, they accept grown two more horns on the top of their snouts. Forth with that, the little tentacles on their chin are thicker, and more spread out, and spines have been known to grow on their long, slender cervix. They have a rotund belly to store and boil the water that they accept nerveless.
Abilities
Rechargeable Firepower
The Scauldrons are mostly considered as non-burn down breathers, simply they possess sources of heat other than a fire. According to Fishlegs, a Scauldron'due south water is hot enough to peel the scales off of a Screaming Death.
Considering of their h2o-breathing ability, Scauldrons are one of the few dragons that can easily accept down a Skrill. Because they alive in h2o, Scauldrons are ane of the few dragons to exist able to refill their shot limit.
In School of Dragons: Dragon Tactics, they accept an ability called "Steam", which poisons the target, suggesting they tin shoot water with venom in it.
Venom and Amnesty
It is revealed that the venom of these dragons is the simply known antidote for dragons to the critically noxious Blueish Oleander; they have tolerances to the flowers despite being an aquatic species. According to Hiccup, Scauldron venom can kill a human inside 24 hours. According to Fishlegs a Scauldron venom might exist delivered in the same way that snake venom is, beingness independent inside their teeth as demonstrated by Mildew's Misery, and it's injected into their prey from a bite. An alternative to spreading their venom is they tin can combine with with their ability to spit humid water.
They are allowed to the Blue Oleander. They besides appear to enjoy eating Blue Oleanders as a natural food source, every bit Hiccup deliberately used Bluish Oleanders to attract a Scauldron. However, the flowers abound on state, then Scauldrons would have to get out the ocean to eat them. The flowers are what give the Scauldron their venom.
Strength and Gainsay
Scauldrons are shown to be able to use their jaws to crush a butt with minimal try. They besides have strong, flexible tails, making them able to easily whip a Viking a long distance abroad. Considering their size, Scauldrons can take on a lot of pressure, as Bonecrusher'due south Conquest has shown to keep flying equally Fishlegs ran up his neck, even after Meatlug bashed him in the head a few times. Scauldrons, like Scauldy are unable to get their wings out from a pile of rocks as seen in "Free Scauldy".
Hunting and Stealth
Scauldrons have shown to be able to hunt smaller body of water dragons such equally Seashockers. They hunt in a pair or more than, and will chase their prey to a corner and set on. They accept been shown to not be quitters unless their casualty reunites with the pod.
Because most have a sea green colour they tin can camouflage inside the ocean and sneak upwardly on prey.
Speed and Agility
Scauldrons are shown to exist flexible as they are able to swing their head and tail around. They are as well able to make quick turns while both flying or swimming.
While their speed stat was stated to exist depression, their speed underwater was proven to exist fast enough to catch up to a Seashocker. On land, their curt, stubby legs are strong enough to run fast plenty to catch up to a Deadly Nadder.
Endurance and Stamina
Scauldrons are able to endure firepower from Monstrous Nightmares like Hookfang, plasma blasts from Toothless, and the brute strength of a Gronckle on the face. They're able to endure many electrical attacks from Seashockers. They have loftier stamina and are able to chase down their prey for a long period of time, as they have been shown to travel at total speed and didn't surrender chasing their prey. Hunting in pods, Scauldrons are ane of the most dangerous species of dragons. If you cruel in the water and started struggling, it wouldn't be long earlier you would start seeing Scauldrons showing up. Their incredible stamina proves that they tin can and will travel long distances to chase for prey.
Senses
The Scauldron's sense of smell is shown to be very astute, equally one individual was able to choice upwards the trail of Blue Oleanders that are being thrown into the ocean. Ii individual Scauldrons were able to track a Seashocker past hearing sounds Fishlegs made. Scauldrons have electrical senses to detect electric pulses like sharks, skates, and rays. They can use this to track their favorite prey; Seashockers. They can likewise sense electric pulses even when they are higher up of h2o. Nonetheless, due to this, Scauldrons can accidentally track downwardly electric eels; one of the few things that they are afraid of.
Aquatic
Beingness Tidal Course, Scauldrons are able to stay underwater for long periods of fourth dimension. They are very skilled swimmers, for they are able to continue upwardly with smaller dragons, like Seashockers, and maneuver through tight spaces. In improver, as mentioned in Breampunk'south description, Scauldrons are able to dive extremely deep, presumably pregnant that they can stay at swell depths for long periods of fourth dimension as well. The Adolescent Scauldron that nearly got sucked into the Submaripper'due south whirlpool, was able to avoid beingness sucked in with a petty help of the Dragon Riders.
Combustible Gel
Co-ordinate to Hiccup in DreamWorks Dragons: To Berk and Beyond!, Scauldrons tin produce gel like Monstrous Nightmares, which can fire fifty-fifty when they are wet.
Weaknesses
Dry Country
Beingness Tidal Class dragons, Scauldrons tin only stay out of the water for a short period of time. If they don't make it dorsum in time, their pare will dry out and turn gray equally they grow weak and become vulnerable to predators. All of the water will spill out, disorienting the dragon and depriving them of their powerful ability.
Limited Storage of Boiling Water
If a shot is fired at a Scauldron'southward jaws when they are inflated with boiling water, all of the h2o will spill out, disorienting the dragon and depriving them of their powerful power. This weakness only applies to a Scauldron when it is on dry out land, as the bounding main has plenty of h2o to recharge their shot limit.
Pod Dependency
Scauldrons live in pods, which gives them their corking power. When a Scauldron is without its pod, information technology can be defeated with less endeavour.
Tracking Electric Eels
Scauldrons can too fault large and groups of small electric eels for a Seashocker, since the eels mess with the Scauldrons' natural electric sense.
Food Motivation
One can set a trap for this dragon by first attracting it with Blue Oleander. More specifically, leading it you by placing a trail. It will also be attracted to fish oil like that which Ruffnut Thorston puts in her hair.
Low-cal
If you tin block their vision with light reflected from a shiny object or a lens the Scauldron volition retreat immediately.
Beliefs and Personality
Like cetaceans and Thunderdrums, Scauldrons form pods. Both of these are whale-like dragons, and they are fearsome hunters, and are described to be 'meaner than sharks' and the 'original body of water monster' past Dragonpedia.
Scauldrons tin can exist rather aggressive and territorial at times. Scauldy displayed signs of aggression and attempted to harm the gang when they approached him. These reptiles volition not hesitate to spray a mouthful of boiling hot water at its opponents when information technology senses danger. Gobber fifty-fifty further states the Scauldron is fearless, and consciousness, evidenced in how one individual attacked a Viking ship for the sake of consuming the blue oleander, despite being outnumbered. However, once a person gains its trust, a Scauldron can remain loyal and kind, as displayed by Scauldy to Ruffnut.
Scauldrons are known to be organized strategists who are patient. Similar to Seashockers, Scauldrons work together to accept downwards prey in pods, this is extremely benign since they have been known to prey on other dragons, which may exist hard to defeat alone.
Scauldrons, similar most dragons, are scared of eels. Only as shown in "Daze and Awe", they announced to be able to tolerate them meliorate only not eat them) than most dragons because when one of the Scauldrons was presented with a big electrical eel, it didn't immediately swim away. This is possibly because Scauldrons are a member of the Tidal Course, and take probably gotten used to the fact of sharing an ecosystem with Eels. Another reason is that their electrical senses made them attracted to the electric eel while existence scared of it when they spot it.
Though Scauldrons can fly, they prefer to travel underwater, popping their heads to the surface occasionally to search for prey, enemies, and for air.
Training
Similar the Skrill and Whispering Death, training a Scauldron is incredibly difficult and shut to impossible due to their aggressive nature. If you want to train a Scauldron, the all-time way to first is simply to cover yourself in water or anything that smells like fish. Scauldrons are sentimental creatures who love anything that reminds them of their home. Saving their life from certain situations tin create a grateful and loyal friend who will also cede his own being to keep you prophylactic.
Information technology is also possible to train a Scauldron by giving information technology Bluish Oleander, only like offering other dragons their favorite food.
