![]() The third movie and its corresponding art book reveal that all dragons follow their Alpha to the point where many of them came to Berk to pay their respect to Toothless and decided not to leave. Dragons can sense things, like Hiccup later says in the same comic, so it is more likely that dragons can sense when they are in presence of the Alpha and it is their instinct to listen to him. Dragons who live far away from the Alpha and unaware that the dragon in question was the Alpha, are affected by the position, as the sea dragons and Foreverwings in The Serpent's Heir, obeyed Toothless, even though they were nowhere near Berk and wouldn't have known that he became Alpha. The rank of Alpha is one of the most powerful forces in the dragon world. Toothless was also able to overcome the Alpha control thanks to his unique bond with Hiccup, yet this seems to be quite an exception. If the dragon is too frenzied to listen, like the Silkspanners in Dragonvine or drugged by Deathgripper venom like Grimmel's Deathgrippers, then they also will not be affected. Dragons can also become exempt from this control by challenging the Alpha to mortal combat. Since their senses aren't fully developed yet, they can't hear or feel the Alpha's power. There have been exceptions to this, such as baby dragons. ![]() Drago goes so far as to say that no dragon can resist an Alpha's command. Valka's Bewilderbeast used this ability sparingly, while Drago Bludvist abused it. An Alpha holds the ability to very strongly manipulate the wills of other dragons. The Bewilderbeast has been referred to as the Alpha species, and this may be because their size and natural hypnotic ability lead to them often rising to that rank. Because the role of Alpha is won by combat, it seems very likely that Alphas are almost always massive dragons, with Toothless being an incredibly unlikely case. The Alpha Dragon has been seen providing food, protection, and peace for other dragons.
