Since I will be posting theories about the HTTYD dragon, the Hackatoo, come Saturday, I thought I would make another one of my soundtrack compilations for this dragon!

The Hackatoo is a rare Sharp Class dragon with six legs, two wings, and an axe-like snout that it uses for cutting down trees. It's an impulsive, reckless, and wild creature with a crest makes it seem like it's always laughing. It can also shoot fireballs across an impressive distance! This daredevil can not only fly at high altitudes but even lays its own eggs at altitude, after which they can hook onto whatever they hit. Once hatched, even the young Hackatoos can be a handful. Truly it's a dragon that can benefit from training. However, despite being such a wild creature, this forest dweller is also quite intelligent and one of the most generous dragons; some are known to be eager to give gifts. Generally these dragons can be found at the Wild Dragon Cliff, a forest cliff with a gorgeous waterfall where young dragons learn to fly and many young Vikings learn to ride. One Hackatoo, Hackagift, can also be found at the cold Avalanche Range.

For this soundtrack, I focused on the Hackatoo's axe-like snout, wild and impulsive nature, resemblance to a cockatoo, eight limbs, crest, and ability to fly at high altitudes. "Dragon Cliffs" by Derek & Brandon Fiechter refers specifically to Wild Dragon Cliff, and "Gift" by Really Slow Motion refers to Hackagift. I tried to make the soundtrack balance the Hackatoos generous and kind disposition with its crazy behavior, choosing many songs that straddle the line of soothing and exciting or change between the two throughout the piece. I chose "Wild and Free" by Bausic Productions because I felt it most matched this dragon's interesting nature.

Notable individual Hackatoos include Hackgift, Cloudcarver, the Defender Hackatoo from Dragons: Rise of Berk, and the Exotic Hackatoo from Dragons: Rise of Berk.
