- January 15, 2016
After two great seasons, the DreamWorks Dragons season 3 arrived full of adventures and challenges for Hiccup and his friends. Episode 17, titled "Bad Moon Rising," is an exciting continuation of the animated series. The episode begins with Hiccup and Astrid, who are working on some designs for the armory, noticing a strange, red moon rising in the sky, marking the beginning of a turbulent night.
The red moon is a rare and mystical event that occurs once every ten years, bringing with it an array of unexplained occurrences. The magical aura of the moon changes all creatures' behavior, and there's a sense of melancholy and unease in the air. Hiccup and Astrid wake up to find all dragons in Berk acting strange, agitated and restless, causing chaos throughout the village.
Hiccup leads a team of the dragon riders in search of clues to understand what is happening to the dragons and how to counteract it. They discover that the red moon affects the dragons' circadian rhythm, making them short-tempered and aggressive. As night deepens, things get worse, and the dragons seem to be taking their aggression out on one another.
With matters worsening by the hour, Hiccup sends Astrid and Fishlegs in search of old Viking tomes in the hopes of finding a way to dispel the red moon's influence. Meanwhile, they must fend off the furious dragons and prevent them from destroying Berk entirely. They also have to deal with a new enemy that has come to the island, drawn by the red moon's magical power. The enemy is a fierce, dragon-hunting warrior, a devastating threat to Berk and its dragons.
As Astrid and Fishlegs study the ancient texts, Hiccup and the rest of his team mount a risky rescue mission to save their friend Snotlout, who's been captured by the dragon-hunter. The dragon riders use their resources to break into the warrior's lair, but it is clear that the dragons' erratic behavior is making this operation a lot more dangerous than it should be.
As the clock ticks closer to dawn, and the red moon sinks lower in the sky, Hiccup and his companions face their most challenging test yet. Will they be able to save Snotlout and Berk, and put an end to the nefarious influence of the red moon?
