Fish feared by dragons in “How to Train Your Dragon”

EELS

These slippery sea creatures were used as bait to lure the deadly Red Death in the first film. Look for a plural word that starts with a vowel.

This clue refers to the How to Train Your Dragon movies, where eels are depicted as dangerous, electric creatures that even dragons avoid. The answer plays on the real-life eel’s slimy, snake-like appearance while tying into the franchise’s lore, where they’re shown as a threat in the water. It’s a straightforward reference—no wordplay—just a nod to fans of the series.
