The rarest and most intelligent of the dragon species, the Night Fury is distinguished by its dark color and piercing yellow eyes, as well as its smaller size, heavy chest and short neck.
Possessing the largest wing-to-body ratio of all dragons, it can fly higher, faster and longer than any dragon, and also makes it the most dangerous. Its incredible power-to-weight ratio renders it capable of vertical takeoff. Its unconventional fire (a semi-solid mass alight with an acetylene/oxygen flame) explodes its target on impact. Its signature attack mode is executed after sundown and from high altitude -- enwrapped in its wings, it dives like a bullet, pulling up at the last moment to deliver one precise and explosive burst ... then vanishing back into the darkness. The only warning is the ballistic noise the diving Night Fury makes. Its kamikaze attack, along with its cautious behavior and analytical mind, makes the Night Fury a devastating opponent with an extraordinary success rate as no one saw it or was able to bring it down until Hiccup.

Night Furies are Reclusive, analytical, and extremely intelligent, and prefer to work alone. However, it often acts as the "special forces" in a dragon pack, dive bombing villages and taking out obstacles with one swift move. Night Furies, surprisingly, are also extremely picky eaters, and restrict their diet to fish.
A Night Fury has retractable teeth that only show when it is eating or feels threatened by an opponent.
They also seem to have the ability to use some sort of echolocation.
