Good morning, my friend. I'd take off my hat but I'm afraid it's attached to my head. I'm also afraid that a lot of Vikings - including myself - are afraid now, too. Hey, that rhymes!... wait.
Anyway, all of us have been hearing strange noises coming from beneath Berk. They say that a monster has been spotted during the night!
Will you talk to Fishlegs and see what you can find out? My bucket can't take this kind of stress.
Our mutual bucket-wearing friend is right! Many Vikings have told me about this so-called monster. They haven't... seen it, exactly... but they can hear it roar at night. I think that it's coming from the caves!
I don't do well with monsters... Oh dear. The entrance of the cave is in Berk, through a hole a Whispering Death mad by the Great Hall. Why don't you go down there and see what you can find?
[Your Viking's name]! Don't worry. There's generally a reasonable explanation behind things! If we use science, we can understand what's really going on, and maybe it would be less scary. Will you explore the caves and see if you can find out what's really going on?
It's not a monster, it's the sound of the wind! Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. When they're slow, you hear a low note. The wind traveling through this entrance made it roar like a monster, and the sound echoed through the cave and into Berk! Whew.
Is that a pile of bones over there? What could have possibly brought them there? There are two types of skeletons out there: endoskeletons and exoskeletons. The endoskeleton is the internal support structure of an animal's body. It can grow with the organism and is generally found in animals that are large enough to pet.
The Exoskeleton is the external outer shell of an animal, and is a rigid covering. It does not grow, so the animal needs to molt out of it. Generally, insects and other small animals have exoskeletons!
That look like a pile of bones from endoskeletons. WIll you go closer and check it out?
There's a Boneknapper down there? las time, Gobber was convinced that the Boneknapper was attacking him to steal his treasure. Well, as it turns out, the Boneknapper was following him! We found out firsthand how ferocious the dragon is.
The Boneknapper is special in that it creates a suit of armor around itself by collecting bones from different dragons. Gobber had the one bone piece that would complete the Boneknapper's armor, so he was chasing Gobber! I wonder why this Boneknapper is here.
