Toothless vs Smaug
Toothless was able to drop the Red Death in How to Train your Dragon. He has both tailwings in this scenario. He's also being piloted by Hiccup who likewise, has both legs.
Both start a hundred feet from each other, upon Dragon Island. Outside interference is not allowed. KO and/or kill counts as victory.
Who wins?

Smaug isn't a big dumb animal like the Red Death. Or Toothless for that matter.

Heat also seems to do little more than piss Smaug off, even of the molten gold variety.

Smaug was stupid enough to get riled up and outwitted by a bunch of dwarves and a hobbit, LOL. Toothless on the other hand is actually renowned for his uncanny cunning, and sheer intelligence not to mention is far faster, more agile with much better maneuverability than Smaug. Toothless is smart enough to scurry along Smaug's body to eventually find his weak spot. Game over once that happens(and it'll happen, sooner rather than later).Good thing then that Toothless actually spits out plasma blasts with powerful concussive force as opposed to just ordinary fire.
Scurry along Smaug's body?
Toothless is smaller than Smaug, but not so small and nimble as a Hobbit. Smaug would crush it under his weight if it clung to him.
What have these blasts actually destroyed though? Nothing on the level of Smaug in durability, surely.

They knocked down the Red Death. They have destroyed wood, viking steel, stone etc. The Red Death didn't have a weak spot and still Toothless defeated it.
Toothless would murder Smaug in this scenario. Toothless wins 8-9/10.
If it flew away, maybe, but if it actually grapples with Smaug like you suggested? Lol, no way. Keep in mind that Smaug was also fighting Bilbo and the Dwarves in a much more confined area, with no room to fly.
The Red Death's weak spot was its throat, why are you lying? Also none of those are as durable as Smaug except the Red Death, who once more was hit in a much larger weak spot. Toothless' breath is unsuited for puncturing the crack in Smaug's hide.
Viking steel was fairly shitty by the way.

I am talking about it's external body, you dunce. The RD literally had no weak spot on the exterior of its gigantic body. Still, Toothless and co figured out how to beat it. It's clearly not much of a stretch to assume that he could beat Smaug as well once the unscaled patch of skin is discovered.
Based on literally nothing whatsoever.

Which island is Dragon Island again? The one where Red Death resides?

Beat him how?
Toothless has no piercing attacks on par with a ballista that fires magical arrows. His teeth are too weak, and his breath attack, though powerful, is not the right tool to do this job.
Meanwhile, Smaug needs to hit Toothless once, with any attack, to win.
Based on literally nothing whatsoever.
No, it's historical fact. Like the Japanese, the Vikings had to fold their swords many many many times in order to burn off the impurities of the steel in the blade, making it more consistently durable. Hell, the Ulfberht Viking Swords, of which less than 200 have been found, were remarkable simply because of how high quality they were back in the day. They were also rare as ****. Steelsmithing in the Viking Age was overall quite a bit less high quality than it was in the later middle ages, mostly due to the poor quality raw steel the Vikings had access to.
Also, the "steel" you're talking about was most likely wrought iron, but I don't know which scene you're talking about.

Prove that Smaug has the reflexes and reaction time to get a successful shot on a creature as fast, agile and stealthy as Toothless. You've been making baseless claims without adding much weight behind them, lol.

Originally posted by EpicurusLol, prove that the black arrows are magical. The only reason they were said to be capable of penetrating Smaug's hide was because they were dwarven-forged, meaning better than ordinary arrows.
Sorry, mistook it for the book version.
Point still stands though. What piercing attacks of Toothless can compare?
You mean to tell me that a powerful plasma blast(the sort which put the RD on its back once Toothless was released) can't penetrate an exposed patch of soft skin? GTFO here.
Considering how large Toothless' fireballs are, no, they can't actually. Toothless' breath is a sledgehammer, but what it needs is a scalpel.
Smaug couldn't even get a proper shot on a bunch of dwarves, and a hobbit managed to evade him multiple times. Not to mention that not all of these instances relied on his magic invisibility ring.
And all of them relied on Smaug being so massive in a confined space that he couldn't pursue them in the manner he was built for, as known as flight.

Toothless was not so fast that the similarly large and cumbersome RD could not hit it (Or come close, IIRC). Smaug flies at least as fast.
The movie vikings are different. Hsitorically, Vikings aren't even supposed to be the horned barbarians they are portrayed as in fiction. Not to mention that viking weapons in the movie are forged with the primary purpose of fending off wild dragons that attack their town on a regular basis.
Right, and only Astrid of the Vikings has an actual Norse name.
Why bring up that it was Viking steel though? I mean, no one here can prove beyond a reasonable doubt how pure or impure their steel is.

Heck, a Night Fury's speed/agility along with stealth is one of the main attributes listed as its specialties in the book of dragons.

And while we're discussing names of norse origins, the name "Hiccup" doesn't sound like something that an ancient viking warlord would call his son.

The ones which blow shit up.
The ones that don't pierce?
How large are they? The answer to this question is; large enough to fit the exposed patch of soft skin on Smaug's hide.
No, the exposed patch of skin is too small to be hit with precision by Toothless' breath.
Smaug used his wings for gliding/flying in his treasure room, let alone the hallways where the dwarves continually evaded him and his fire.
Yes, by going through hallways that Smaug is too large to fit through. I've said that.
Lol, are you f*cking kidding me? Toothless was more or less like a bigger, panther shaped version of a peregrine falcon. Toothless did jet dives from thousands of feet up in the air. He shot straight like an arrow on more than one occasion that I can count of.Heck, a Night Fury's speed/agility along with stealth is one of the main attributes listed as its specialties in the book of dragons.
I was comparing Smaug to RD, not Toothless.
What's that supposed to mean?
Exactly what I said: Astrid has the only genuine Norse name.
And while we're discussing names of norse origins, the name "Hiccup" doesn't sound like something that an ancient viking warlord would call his son.
Right, like that thing I said.
Because they were vikings, that's why. Same reason both Toothless and Smaug are "dragons" despite one being of magical origins while the other being a purely biological creature.
But viking steel is relatively poor.
