In order to explain this, I think the mother charges the egg with electricity to protect the egg from predators. In the games, the Skrill egg seems to be electrically charged. Theory 9: Skrill mothers charge their eggs with electricity when they lay them to deter predators. Also, they are mentioned as being both rare and "reclusive," which further supports a solitary, non-social existence. As for Skrills being solitary, we only see them as solitary animals in the TV show. Y'all know the drill.most dragons we've seen with mates appear to not mate for life, so I don't think Skrills do, either. Theory 7: Skrills are solitary and don't mate for life. To adapt to this, the Skrill is probably capable of adjusting its sleep pattern in a way that's not dependent on daylight. Theory 6: Skrill sleep patterns are adaptable they can be diurnal or nocturnal or both.Skrills live in extremely cold environments, some up near the arctic, and the arctic has a habit of being in complete darkness for 4 months out of the year and complete sunlight for 4 months out of the year. (SoD's animation also indicates the Skrill uses its frill for social communication, but there's no reason it can't be duel-purpose.) So if the frill is not part of the Skrill's electrical current, what is it for? I think it actually makes a shield around the Skrill's head that prevents the electricity from traveling up to the Skrill's skull and brain. Theory 5: The Skrill's frill prevents the electricity from entering its brain. Rather, I agree with Skywarp in that the "gills" of the Skrill are actually the electric organs, hence why pulling on a collar a certain way forces it to fire. Now the one part I don't agree with is electric organs being located on the wings because I don't think the collar Dagur had on his Skrill was actually attached to them. So rather than re-explain his theory, I'll just link you to his video here. So we know the Skrill channels lightning down its metallic spine on its back, but how does it conduct electricity from the sky and where does it store it? Well, Tim Hickson of the YouTube channel Hello Future Me has a theory about this that I love, which is what I described above. The energy is stored in organs on its "gills" made up of electrocutes. Theory 4: The Skrill conducts electricity using its large wing claws, which are metallic. For other places where they are commonly found - Isle of the Quiet Life and Fowl Smell Flock - no habitat description is given to indicate they live anywhere else aside from cold, snowy habitats. Even their named locations where they can be found throughout the franchise are chilly locations: Chilblain, the Icy Wastes, Scuttleclaw Island, and according to Dragons: Rise of Berk, the main island where they can be found, the icy Wreck Reef. When Viggo sets out to find a Skrill, he also directs Hiccup and Toothless to a cold and snowy island. There's a lot of evidence for this! Skrills are shown to be able to hibernate completely frozen in glaciers, an adaptation one would only need in bitter cold regions. According to Dragons: Defenders of Berk, their favorite food is mutton (sheep), but based on their reclusive nature, they probably go after many different types of prey. So fish would not be a good prey for them to go after. The reason is Skrills tend to avoid water because they are helpless in the water (e.i. I know we feed our Skrills lots of fish in the games, but I honestly don't think this would be a good food for them. Theory 2: Skrills consume just about any meat except fish. With eyes positioned very far forward on the head, the Skrill is not going to be seeing much behind it. Theory 1: The Skrill's blind spot is behind its frill. ![]()
