The Bewilderbeast is a massive, non-playable, Tidal Dragon that can be encountered in the Age of the Night Lights expansion pack. It currently resides in Valka's Sanctuary.
Description
From the How to Train your Dragon Wikia:
- "As with all members of the animal kingdom, dragons, too, must follow a hierarchy of power and leadership.
At the apex of that chain of command rules an exceedingly rare alpha dragon to which all others bow — the Bewilderbeast. However, Bewilderbeasts are not born to that alpha status; it is earned through combat, vigilance, and most importantly, a desire to protect the dragons and all other creatures in its nest. Fortunately for Bewilderbeasts, there are few other dragons in the world that can match their intimidating stature and ever hope to compete for the designation of "king of all dragons". - Bewilderbeasts are also quite impressive architects, fashioning near-impenetrable nests out of their self-generated ice and using natural hot springs to provide warmth and sustenance to the flock under its care. From its oasis within this icy cocoon, the Bewilderbeast rules all dragons without bias, without malice, and without question."

In Quests
Age of the Night Lights
In It takes a Village, Valka reveals to have another Bewilderbeast under her care in Valka's Sanctuary, he helps the Night Lights find themselves, specially Ruffrunner who felt intimidated and shy around such a massive beast. The Night Lights are able to grow with the Bewilderbeast's assistance, though it's unexplained why.
Trivia
- It is currently the largest dragon in the game.
- Implied alternative universe aside, a fairly common theory describes how the new Bewilderbeastis is not the second installment's dead Bewilderbeast but yes, the egg from the final Episode of Race to the Edge. The series itself takes a year before How To Train Your Dragon 2 and the third installment takes a year after the second installment - if one follows the lesson from Secret of the Leviathan, a Leviathan takes a while to be fully grown up, even with the help of a special fruit, so by the second and perhaps third installment, the Bewilderbeast would've still been a baby and would later grow into the adult in the game.
