I just don't like that first photo. Toothless' facial expression almost looks too human. I think it's the fact that his mouth isn't as wide in that picture as it should be. I think the one "eyebrow" raised kind of adds to the effect as well. I hope that the pic is only used for promos and not in the actual movie itself.

Haha, yeah. I always thought of that pic as Toothless' *derp* pose as if someone is taking his picture (as if there were cameras back then ).

One thing I'm a bit concerned about is how much human-like characteristics the animators may have injected into Toothless' mannerisms. The one thing I always liked about Toothless in the first move is that there are times where he has a very feral, unruly, undomesticated demeanor which keeps you guessing what's going on in his head. One scene I remember is at the very end of Forbidden Friendship where he backs away from Hiccup's hand, huffs, and hobbles away. I always wondered what Toothless was feeling/thinking at that moment.

Now from what I've seen from the new trailers/clips, everything that Toothless does has almost no ambiguity because all his actions are modeled closely to a human response (like pouting), or in some instances, a well known real animal (like a cat when he freaks out in that one clip). Granted, it's great that you can understand what Toothless is thinking/feeling when the behavior is communicated in an explicitly clear and literal way; it allows you to easily identify and connect with him. However, as a result, you take some of the mystery out of his character that makes him so interesting. I actually like StormFly for this reason. She has an unshakable wild side with a primal, beastly temperament where you often can't quite figure out why she does some of the things she does.

I think compared to the first movie, Toothless has "matured" out of some of that feral attitude because he has spent so much time in human society. Having a human ride and talk to you all day for five years had to have rubbed off on Toothless' personality a bit.
