In School of Dragons: Dragon Tactics, they have an ability called "Steam", which poisons the target, suggesting they can shoot water with venom in it. Because they live in water, Scauldrons are one of the few dragons to be able to refill their shot limit. According to Fishlegs, a Scauldron's water is hot enough to peel the scales off of a Screaming Death.īecause of their water-breathing ability, Scauldrons are one of the few dragons that can easily take down a Skrill. The Scauldrons are mostly considered as non-fire breathers, but they possess sources of heat other than a fire. They have a rotund belly to store and boil the water that they have collected. Along with that, the little tentacles on their chin are thicker, and more spread out, and spines have been known to grow on their long, slender neck. Also, they have grown two more horns on the top of their snouts. There are tints of light blue and purple on its wings too. Titan Wing Scauldrons are dark blue in color and their tail fin and wings have an elaborate pattern of water droplet shaped pink spots. In Dragons: Race to the Edge, orange and yellow Scauldrons were seen, revealing it is possible for Scauldrons to come in other colors. These colors are close to that of the ocean and it could serve as a form of camouflage. They have only been seen in three colors: turquoise, green, and pale blue, although they change color into parched gray when their body loses moisture and, according to Mildew's Misery's description in Dragons: Rise of Berk, into dark blue after eating a large amount of Blue Oleander flowers. Two or more whisker-like strings are connected to the Scauldrons' upper jaw. It has peg like teeth that are ideal for catching fish, very sharp, and also happen to be venomous.

Its eyes are located near the front of its face, and it has a thin, curving nasal horn. The bulging of its jaw is an indication that it is going to shoot boiling water. Its bottom jaw is very flexible, and it bulges out when filled with water.

When it is out of water for a long time, it begins to dehydrate due to which its skin turns into a shade of grey. Its neck is very long and thin, and its head is usually fairly slender with its bottom jaw having a sort of pouch that hangs from its chin. When filled with water, the Scauldron's stomach protrudes out and becomes very round. Its tail is like that of a fish, helping it to swim. They have intense obesity to heat the water they suck in. It is a huge sea dragon that walks on four stubby and powerful legs. This dragon is gigantic, growing up to a size nearly the same as many giant cetaceans. But in Dragons: Rise of Berk, they look the same, except that they have a clear liquid flowing off its top that resembles water, yet more viscous. In School of Dragons, Scauldron eggs are bluish in color, ranging from turquoise to cyan and even shades of dark green.

Early concept art depicts the Scauldron with a thin membrane inside its mouth, covering the lower jaw when it's not filled with water. Originally, the Scauldron was going to be much smaller, around the size of a Monstrous Nightmare, with a shorter neck. Instead of breathing fire, Scauldron spits scalding hot water at its prey. This huge underwater dragon is a speedy and silent swimmer. In fact, if a Scauldron is out of water for too long, its body will dry out and eventually perish, unless it is returned to the sea before it's too late.ĭespite their dreadful reputation, Scauldrons actually possess a secret, healing ability: their venom is the only known antidote to the rare Dragon Flower, whose pollen can prove harmful - even fatal - to all dragons!Įmerging from the depths of the Northern seas, this Tidal Class swimmer blasts enemies with steaming streams of boiling water!Ī bellyful of boiling water quickly teaches opponents not to get too close to an angry Scauldron in battle. Being ocean-based, the Scauldron will not typically attack on land. With its long neck, the Scauldron has a long firing range and can blast an entire ship in a matter of seconds. Instead, Scauldrons scoop up water in their gullets (like pelicans), then boil it internally and shoot the boiling-hot water out again. Although a Scauldron has never been seen to shoot flames, the few Vikings who have survived encounters with the fearsome sea dragons have reported smelling traces of the signature flammable gas that precedes a dragon fire strike. Scauldrons hunt in groups, or pods, and have picked-off smaller species to near-extinction. Patient and organized strategists by nature, Scauldrons are one of the few dragons known to prey on other dragons.
