10 Reasons Hiccup would make a great Mormon Missionary

As a Viking dragonrider, Hiccup (the protagonist of Dreamworks Entertainment’s How to Train Your Dragon series) is more likely to be found burning houses down than knocking on doors. Still, there is much about the diminutive Nordic-with-American-accent-and-Scottish-dad that would make him fit right in with the ranks of the modern Latter-day Saint missionary corps.

Here are 10 reasons Hiccup would make a fantastic Mormon missionary:

1) He can handle rejection

2) He’s just a little bit…peculiar

3) He never goes anywhere without his companion

4) He’d rather make peace with his enemies than fight them

5) He does service

6) He makes friends with those who don’t speak the same language

7) He doesn’t leave the house without putting his armor on

8) He won’t, or can’t, flirt with girls

9) He’s willing to tell people things they don’t want to hear

10) In the end, his number one priority is to help people
