The Night Fury's jet black color and dark scales make it nearly impossible to spot in the night sky. Toothless blending in with the night sky basically making him virtually invisible
He has proven against a Triple Stryke is one of the few dragons on the ground to be formidable opponent. Even with the inability to fly, he is a capable fighter as shown in What Flies Beneath. He has easily taken out a Gronckle in a short amount of time, as well as holding his own with Monstrous Nightmares and Whispering Deaths. Toothless is also a very strong and persistent fighter on the ground. Toothless has not only knocked back a Razorwhip with his tail, but also knocked a Triple Stryke onto the floor and knocked out Krogan with it.
In one of the TV series, Toothless used his tail to knock out two guards. Toothless's tail has been shown to be very flexible and strong, as he has used it in combat many times. He also shown to struggled lifting Barf and Belch with extra weight of Hiccup. Toothless could also carry Hookfang (over 5,000 pounds) by his tail with the extra weight of Hiccup and Snotlout. Toothless has also shown to push a Whispering Death head on, though he was charging from a low altitude, it still takes a strong force to push a Whispering Death to the ground. He can also fly while carrying the combined weight of Stoick and Hiccup, over 400 pounds. The Night Fury is also known to be very strong, even for a dragon of their size, being able to hold off Vikings like Stoick and other Vikings in the first film.

The blast can then do destructive damage, as it has even been seen to knock a Red Death to the ground. At the last moment, they release a plasma blast at its target and open their wings to create drag and then lift off. Using their great speed, Night Furies fold their wings to create a streamlined, aerodynamic shape while they dive from the sky. The Night Fury's main type of attack style is using a dive-bomb. The reaction when Toothless plasma blast hits head on with lightingĪ strange effect was discovered, that when the plasma blasts of a Night Fury and the lightning blasts of a Skrill meet head on, a massive explosion of an electrical plasmatic surge will form that can knock dragons from the sky.
