TheDragon Manual, also frequently referred to as the Book of Dragons, is a Viking encyclopedia of all the dragon species discovered by the Hooligan Tribe. Considered an important piece of knowledge, it is how the Vikings of Berk know the weaknesses and methods needed to slay the dragons, and in the future, to train them.
After that, it was handed to the members of the Berk Dragon Training Academy, to gain more knowledge on dragons and to add more information. It helps them understand the abilities, weaknesses, and behavior of the dragons, helping them study and train dragons easier.
The Dragon Manual is given to the students of Dragon Training in order for them to study up on the dragons they will be facing in future sessions. Apart from Astrid and Fishlegs who have already read it, the rest of the group don't appear to be keen on studying the Manual.
Later on that same night, Hiccup returns to the Great Hall to try and find any information on Night Furies, hoping to use the book to try and approach the one he shot down. The Manual proves to be fruitless, devoid of statistics, and only warning him that Night Furies are considered too dangerous to try and kill and should be avoided at all costs.
The book played an important role in "Heather Report, Part 1" and "Heather Report, Part 2" when Heather stole the book for the Outcasts in exchange for her parents. An Outcast tried to use the book in order to train a Deadly Nadder but failed.
In "Tone Death", after rescuing a mysterious Dragon Egg, Hiccup is seen with the Book of Dragons to search for what kind of Dragon egg they retrieved from the hunters. However while looking through the Dragon Manual, he didn't find any information of it and concludes it is not in record. The dragon egg eventually hatches and the baby dragon is later reveals to be a Death Song hatchling.
After Hiccup and Astrid learn that their daughter Zephyr is building traps to defend the house from dragons, Hiccup tells her that it would actually be great if one showed up because they love dragons. Zephyr doesn't believe him, and shows her parents that she found the Dragon Manual in the attic, and flips through the images it contains depicting how violent and fearsome dragons are. She asks why her parents never told her the truth about dragons, though she doesn't understand how the images in the book were drawn before the dragons became friends of the Berkians. It's then when Hiccup and Astrid decide to bring back the Snoggletog Pageant to show the children of New Berk how the dragons became their friends.
Thunderclaws, specifically Sturmundrang, are listed in the Book of Dragons. It details that Sturmundrang behaves differently than typical Thunderclaws and points out a very specific method of earning this dragon's trust and loyalty: monkfish, sagefruit, and lots of time.
Deathgrippers, specifically Marshland Deathgrippers, are listed in the Book of Dragons. It details the Deathgripper's abilities and suggests imprinting on Deathgripper hatchlings in order to train them. In addition, instead of the typical 'Extremely dangerous; Kill on sight,' the Deathgripper section includes the line 'Immediately fatal, Avoid at all Cost'.
The language used in the Dragon Manual consists of a language that Vikings in Berk use to read and write. Some letters share the same symbols such as w, v, u, o, and y; e and i; s and z; etc. The language lacks punctuation and some letters such as the letter x uses "cs" or "ks". Few letters, such as the letter q, are unidentifiable because it's not mentioned in the film. Other texts consist of symbols that have no meaning or organization. Other than the film, the language appears in animated webisodes.
During Riders of Berk, the teens put in notes on dragons. The also add information to new dragons they ecountered like the whispering death, changewings, scauldrons, smothering smokebreath, and thunder drum.
Does anybody have a scan of the cover for the first run of Double Dragon manuals? All the ones I have seen (online only) seem to be cropped poorly. I know Telegames have an up and down history when it comes to their quality, but I figured the first run would have been done professionally and would look like it.
I have the manual. Only about 4 pages are actual instructions. The rest are the copyright information and ads for other Telegames Lynx titles. If you're still interested, I can scan those 4 pages and post them here.
The cover for the Atari manuals look exactly like the front of the box without any kind of black borders on the top or bottom. I really thought the Telegames manuals looked the same, but after looking at Desert Strike, European Soccer Challenge, and Super Off Road I do not think they ever looked like the Atari ones. I know later copies of these manuals cropped off some of the comlynx information, but I do not think they ever were released without the extra black space at the top and bottom.
The in-game tips when you first encounter a new feature (like crafting or the tactical menu) is very helpful. However, there are a couple of things I inadvertently skipped or didn't read carefully. How can I go back and view those or see the same type of instructions in a manual?

When Hiccup is reading about the dragon types from the manual at some point some of the dragons on the pages are shown as animated (very little general body movements on the manual pages) after he startles by the lightning. It looks like his imagination and fear gets to him. But why did they show those animated dragons just for a brief duration and then finished doing it? Was it referencing some older dragon related animation movie or was it just a little gimmick to make the younger viewers get into the mood?
