The Fissure Fault Ripper is the main antagonist of Season 1 and a supporting character from Season 2-onwards of the DreamWorks series, Dragons: The Nine Realms. He is a male Fault Ripper, who first appeared in the episode of the same name. He lives in the Kullersen Fissure.
His tunneling underground throughout most of the first season was the cause of the series of earthquakes that occurred throughout the series. It was later tamed/trained by Tom Kullersen and became an ally of the Dragon Club.
Powers and abilities[]
- Fire Power: The Fault Ripper can fire orange and purple flames out of its mouth. While it spins in a circle, it can emit those flames in a barrel shot similar to Toothless' battle tactic. It can melt the rock in its path while burrowing through the ground.
- Strength and Combat: Fissure Fault Ripper possess remarkable strength and exceptionally resilient skin, enabling them to endure numerous assaults from various dragon species. His power is such that it is insufficient to incapacitate them. The Fissure Fault Ripper managed to survive the descent and is now residing at the bottom of the Fissure, alongside the Dragon Club.
- Tunneling: Due to being a burrowing dragon for most of its life, the Fault Ripper can tunnel through the Earth relatively quickly, first by heating its mouth with its orange and purple flames and using them to melt through the rocks, allowing it to tunnel. However, he is powerful enough to cause earthquakes.
- Speed and agility: The Fault Ripper appears to be a very fast-moving species, especially when using its spinning-flame attack.
- Enhanced Senses: Despite his poor eyesight, the Fissure Fault Ripper makes up for it with its Titan senses of hearing and smelling through his giant ear canals near its eyes, allowing him to hunt their prey more easily. He can find other dragons with their senses of smell, despite their best attempts to hide from him. Aft
- Intelligence: The Fissure Fault Ripper had an excellent retention of memory, as it fearfully remembered its first encounter with the Dragon Club. However, the dragon is also easily trainable because the dragon understands Tom's commands and rallies all the dragons of the Crystal Realm against the Fire Dragons.
Weaknesses[]
- Poor eyesight: The Fissure Fault Ripper, classified as an underground dragon, possesses limited vision and primarily relies on his acute sense of hearing for hunting purposes. Consequently, this dragon is nearly blind, unable to perceive objects even when he is near its snout.
- Loudness: The Fissure Fault Ripper, a burrowing dragon, relies on sound due to poor eyesight. Loud noises, such as Feathers' sonic scream, can cause the Fault Ripper pain or disorientation and disrupt its ability to fly.
