Tooth Less (Night Fury) – DreamWorks (2017)

Figure 1: Toothless Eyes

At first toothless is introduced as a fearsome, powerful, agile and hostile creature. No one has ever encountered one from vicinity and those who did, did not leave to tell the tale. The design of the character suggests all of the above mentioned. Strong scaled dark black skin, big green cat looking eyes, massive wings and very agile and fast flying. It also has retractable teeth which his nickname tooth less derives from and abilities like echolocation sense which allows it to maneuver and fly in tight or not very well visible places. It is also capable of firing an acetylene/oxygen shaped powerful charges.

When Hiccup manages to shoot it down believing it was a treat, the night fury crashes with an injury to its tail and was uncappable of flying. After that Hiccup gets to know it, he discovers that it has more of a cat like behaviour and very friendly and loyal. They will soon start flying together and create an inseparable friend ship. Tooth less, a long side of Hiccup, do their best to keep peace and in doing the right choice.

They both like flying a lot and they do a lot of training in order to be able to maneuver as swift as tooth less once was by himself, since it now needed Hiccup’s help to control his mechanical tail invented by Hiccup himself. The design of the character changes from a standalone creature to a mounted one, which this has added a saddle, mechanical tail and connecting wires.

Kid buu – Dragon Ball Z (FUNimation Productions, Ltd., 2017)

Kid Buu is the representation of pure evilness. He has no mercy and enjoys in creating havoc and suffering. From his design alone you can see how great his self-esteem is. He knows he is very powerful, his posture is always relaxed and even when he fights he doesn’t struggle and instead takes it as play. As long as something makes him happy he will do it. Black eyes with a red iris transmits evilness to the viewer and his pink skin makes him unusual and pops out from other characters.

His relentless evilness comes from his past. Once Buu was a playful uncontrolled being that had also good in. It was always struggling whit his evilness inside him when one day they got separated, evil and good. The evil Buu took over and won the fight since he knew no mercy and in time absorbing more power from other beings, he transformed in Kid Buu.

The abilities of Buu are impressive and you will immediately understand why he is much feared and powerful. The following is a brief list of his abilities: he can control his body perfectly and can shape shift, learns anything instantly just by looking at it, regenerate, absorption of another being and many different fighting skills and techniques.

After several destructions of cities and killing of innocent people Buu destroys the planet by a massive energy sphere. His evilness knows no limit and in my opinion Kid Buu is one of the fearsome and evil villains ever created, because his joy is in doing evil and he doesn’t talk about it, but instead he immediately acts.
