Are Night Furies really extinct

We keep hearing over and over again that Toothless is the last Night Fury in How to Train Your Dragon - And that night furies are extinct. How do we KNOW they are. If they are deemed the MOST intelligent species of all the dragons in How to Train Your Dragon, then if someone was hunting them down to quote and quote Near Extinction, Wouldn't they be intelligent enough to stay hidden even the more?

PIN MEH OR TOOTHLESS WILL MURDER THE HUMAN RACE

[chelseamae]

Considering that Grimmel, the villain for the third movie, claimed that he'd killed all of the Night Furies but hadn't even realized Toothless existed, it's highly possible he hasn't killed them all. I'd bet there r otherwms out there somewhere

[dirandrous]

I have a theory, maybe night fury's arent native to the Viking regions
Some of them might venture in to the Viking regions, so they might be native to more southern regions
This might explain why Toothless was always heating up his bed or he is a skilled swimmer, or the fact that he has fins like a fish

[Alteori]

One of our watchers brought to our attention that the Light Fury doesn't teleport, but merely disappears by mirroring her scales to environment as a sort of cloaking mechanism.

*_Night Fury+Light Fury=50 shades of Grey Fury_*

[nightfury]

In reality yes, more Night Furies seem plausible and I was hoping Toothless would find one/his real mate/more of them in the hidden world.Dean DeBlois confirmed that while there are other Light Furies, Toothless is the last of his kind.
Also, Dean confirmed that the Light Fury is not teleporting. She is simply cloaking. She super heats her scales and being white, they mirror the environment, effectively turning her invisible so she can fly away unseen.

Toothless is a Night Fury. So, it ain't extinct

[kawaiiyanderlee]

Dean DeBlois literally said Toothless is the last Night Fury though
Also the Light Fury didn't teleport. She uses that blast to heat her scales in order to turn them mirror-like, and so they reflect against the environment. She doesn't teleport; she cloaks.

[snapcracklepop]

If night fury's are so hard to kill how would they be extinct. They are so strong. If anything they would make humans go extinct.

[billthebanuk]

There is no way that one guy hunted them all down
How can you be sure you got them all
You can't search in all the corners of the world

[Bonniethebunny]

I don't think Toothless is the last of his kind, he may be the only one in the archipelago, but not the last one overall. Night furies could be native elsewhere, and some just wandered into places they weren't supposed to. Like Hiccup said in the first film, "No one has ever killed a night fury". If Grimmel was so well known for his night fury genocide, it should have reached Berk too. Stoik knew him, otherwise Grimmel wouldn't have commented on how great of a chief he was. Also, wouldn't they have gotten Grimmel to come kill Toothless if they knew what he did in the first film? Some plot lines just don't add up there. On top of that, like Alteori said, night furies are among the smartest dragons in their world. They would know if they were in danger, and they would go into hiding to protect themselves. Grimmel may claim to have killed them all, but i highly doubt he did. He can't have killed a whole species in his lifetime, especially such an intelligent species like the night furies. Night furies are elusive, and well as highly evasive due to their speed, agility, and camoflauge, especially in dark areas. This is why i have high doubts that Toothless is the last one. Grimmel may have killed the ones he found, but he would have to go very much out of his way to try killing all of them, but even then, he is very unlikely to have done that. Night furies learn, and adapt. They would know to hide, and they have very good tools at their disposal to do just that. Even if the director said Toothless is the last one, it doesn't make any sense from a realistic standpoint which is why i don't believe it. There are more, We just haven't seen them.

Toothless is the cutest living being EVER!

[axaldusteliora]

I Have A Theory. The LightFury And NightFury Are 2 Separate Species. But They Haven't Diverged Enough To Make Hybrids Impossible Between The Two. So At The End. The Night Fury Might Go Extinct After Toothless Die In A Way. But The Offsprings Will Be Part NightFury So No At The Same Time.

Or Maybe Toothless Is Part Of One Of Several Subspecies The NightFury Contains

[JustInceptive]

“I’ve hunted every nightfury but yours”
This line in the trailer continues to claim that nightfurys are extinct.

[Dominikpterus]

The How to Train Your Dragon 3 trailer debunks your theory. In the trailer the hunter named Grimmel says that he killed every single Night Fury except Toothless so he IS the last one.

PS The director of the How to Train Your Dragon movies confirmed in a recent inteview that the Light Fury is NOT in fact a Night Fury and unlike Toothless she is not the last of her kind.

[QueenSoniaLover]

Im not trying 2 be rude: The light fury doesn't acctually teleport. It changes its scales to its surroundings, like the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter.
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD OF THIS PART!!


Toothless is in fact the last of his kind. You find this out in the new httyd film.
The new enemy is said to be the smartest dragon hunter out there and that if he leaves tracks behind it's deliberate. The moment the new dragon hunter knows about Toothless the people that work for him actually say " looks like one of them slipped past your grips" you also find out that Grimmel (I think that's his name) acctually hunted down every night fury execpt that Toothless escaped, as Toothless is the same age as hiccup the night furys may have gone extinct when Toothless was young, a baby, and so he wasn't taught the abilities that Toothless acctually had because he had no teacher, because Grimmel hunted them down, .
Sorry this is long. Please don't complain I gave every one a warning before this section of information. I was not trying to come across a rude either. I was just trying to state facts.

[aabanfaisal]

I think Valka has seen night furies before because she is the one who triggered the fins on his back meaning she had studied them before.

[laseraids]

I just wanted to tell you something REALLY important
in the German version of the trailer Grimmel said that he CAPTURED every Nightfury except Toothless (I know that because I live in Germany and so I can speak German)

and my theory is that they aren't extinct just captured in traps and closed away in cages from the rest of the world like we see in the trailer with the Lightfury

I hope that helps you and keep making videos Alteori

[tommytheomeganerd]

It has been confirmed that their are other light furies however not night furies. They are also confirmed to be different species so the light furies could be the only furies with cloaking for all we know. She has now seen it

[-PocketPuppies-]

I really love the concept of more living night furies, and I would’ve loved seeing the interaction of toothless and his old family, flashbacks on what happened to his family, or meeting a foreign clan of night furies in an unknown area.
