Oh I'm Eret, son of Eret. Last in a long line of Eret sons of Eret. Finest trappers in any land. Although I dare say I may be the finest.
―Eret introducing himself to Hiccup.

Eret is a major character in the DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon franchise. He used to be a dragon trapper working for Drago Bludvist before switching sides halfway through the movie and bonding with Stormfly. He is voiced by Kit Harington.

Background[]

Cocky and charmingly cavalier, Eret has the showmanship of a cowboy and the shady ethics of an arms dealer. His rugged good looks and brawny physique appeals to Ruffnut's inner-most desires--which turn out to be quite shallow. But despite his boastful, brash charisma, Eret lives in endless dread of Drago's merciless wrath, and will do anything to save his own skin.

Trivia[]

  • Eret is similar in personality to Han Solo, according to Matt Paulson, the modelling supervisor of How To Train Your Dragon 2.
