However, Astrid's insecurities about her dragon-riding abilities only grow, especially when faced with the challenge of battling a wild Smothering Smokebreath. As the others rally together and utilize their dragons' strengths to defeat the enemy, Astrid begins to question if she has what it takes to be a true dragon rider.

In the end, it's Toothless who comes to Astrid's aid, showing her how to trust her instincts and believe in herself.
