In straight and level a Falcon can hit up to 60mph (approx.) and 200mph in a dive. So that's extremely fast (and pretty amazing) if Toothless can do more than that in straight and level alone. |

This is the most accurate, correct, and scientific answer. |

Toothless is going to weigh much more than 130kg. Stormfly was just confirmed to weigh 2,628 lbs, or 1,192 kg. Toothless is slightly smaller than Stormfly in terms of wingspan and length. It would be reasonable to assume that he weighs at least 800 kg, or 1,700 pounds. That's about the weight of an economy car, and Toothless is about the size of one. Granted, these are estimations based off of Stormfly's weight, but I think Toothless would be much closer to 1000kg than 100-200kg. |

The biggest Pterosaur ever lived was the Quetzalcoatlus. His wing area was around as big as Toothless' and with its weight of 200kg he was a very sluggish flier. Maybe it was confirmed from the creator that he his much heavier, but that would implify that he would not be able to fly in our world. The question is, what do you want to believe in? Science or magic? |

The movie team seems to struggle a bit with weights. I remember when they first launched the Viking Guide on the new website, they had Hiccup and Astrid (maybe other characters too, but they were the most extreme cases) listed at weights that would make them full-blown anorexics paired with their listed heights. That's since been removed, but since that already happened once I wouldn't be surprised if they gave the dragons weights that are implausible either. That being said, dragons don't/didn't exist in the real world anyway. It won't affect my enjoyment of the movie very much if they defy physics. |
Come death. Come suffering. I will not live in fear. In this fleeting life where time escapes us, the path of least resistance is a slow quiet death. I'd rather burn out than fade away. | |

Yeah, the weights are completly ridicolous. The Bewilderbeast weights only 8 tons with a lenght of 520 feet. |

Only 8 tons? Wow, really?! That's just weird. I mean how can it weigh only 8 tons? It's huge! I understand it may have hollow bones or something, much like a bird, but even then surely it would weigh more! |
