Very friendly and nurturing, Toothless is very affectionate toward young creatures most especially his Dronkey cousins. Due to spending a lot of time with them he has become very playful, and he sometimes does not act his age. Toothless is usually very wary with strangers at first, but he is very easy to get along with.
History:
Toothless was once known as "The Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death." This was so as he originally was only a shadow without a definite form created by Pitch Black himself, borne with a mind of his own with the purpose of inducing and absorbing fear in children - even to the point of death. He never saw Pitch as his father but rather as his master, and he had been mindlessly serving him until Pitch disappeared without his knowledge. He continued on with his last mission, going from door to door to feed on fear but with Pitch gone, he had no one to pass the absorbed energy to. Upon discovering his master's disappearance he lurked mostly around hospices, feeding on the fear of death most terminally ill patients would express, as this was the only thing he knew and was only supposedly created for.
This is the reason why terminally ill patients become unafraid once they accept their fate - the Nightfury fed on and absorbed their fear dry that it became absent from their system. He never knew he had been doing a good deed and doing these patients a favor long after his master's disappearance, until the Man in the Moon sent forth a child his way.
Living in the hospice for quite a while now, the energy he absorbed grew and grew, up to the point that his presence was almost visible to some of the patients. When he was there, they knew their time was coming and so came to accept their fate and feared no more, which was actually the Nightfury's doing. Only one child thought of it differently, and he was described to his parents as the "Shadow Dragon" that took his fears away. In time with the child fully aware of his presence, he grew a bond with him and became his imaginary hero. This was the time he first encountered the feeling of happiness and fulfillment, and upon the child's death, he grieved for the first time and demanded to be given a different purpose.
The Man in the Moon heard of his prayers and granted him his wish: to become the Shadow Dragon the child knew, taking form of a blueish, dark dragon with green eyes as depicted and illustrated in the child's sketches.
Living in a different world now, he met Donkey's family with Dragon wanting to adopt him as her child. But as he knew he had Pitch as a creator and father of some sort, he refused to let that go. The Donkey's family then agreed to be their foster aunt and uncle instead, having him babysit his foster cousins from time to time.
