It was custom made by Monoyasha herself. You can't get a costume like this in a store, and Mono isn't making suits anymore. There is another costume maker who makes costumes like this named Beastcub, but she will not make copyrighted characters on commission, as doing so is illegal.
I do not recommend quadsuits for Any back problems. this does make my back ache a bit after use and I can image it would be much worse for anyone with a medical condition.
years ago when I worked in a scare house, I helped construct a big and beautiful stilt beast dragon. He was a labor of love that took six months to build. We decked it out and even put air pressure pistons in his wings that were triggered via a button placed next to your thumb in the armature. He was stunning in every sense of the word, sadly the design was scrapped in favor of a stilt beast Zombie Demon Dog. I've never gotten over the sheer disappointment of having all our hard work go to waste. I'm hoping that next year I can try to rebuild him for Halloween, just on a smaller scale. Regardless, amazing work dear! Your dedication is a labor of love. I hope you never stop being amazing!
sorry to hear your dragon was dropped. I planned sketches of this costumes for 6 months then only had 3 weeks building time before the debut convention....because i was crazy back then. ^^:
i have researched tacking a Nadder myself and yes the puffy paint sticks well to any fuzzy fabrics. only downside is it will take weeks just to make scales for the entire costume and you can only work on about 1ft at a time and let it dry overnight to prevent any possible smearing or accidents.
the heaviest part are the front arm stilts. overall costume weight is 12 pounds which is not bad at all with the weight distributed through out the suit.
I love that! I wish I could get something like that, maybe when I’m older I’ll get a Night Fury. Not toothless because I want to be a female with blue eyes and a full tail and no saddle. Her name will be Niva.
Epically Awesome!!! You forgot one thing, though: make sure you go to the bathroom BEFORE you get into the costume. It looks like it'd take half an hour to get out of the thing XD
Oh, she says in another vid that the fabric is over $200 for 9 yards of microsuede and it took 3 months to make. Easily could see another $200 on top of that for other materials, though. Tips: stay hydrated; with any limited sight costumes especially if you're alone, tour the site prior, to check for problem areas (like stairs) so you know alternate routes.
I'm super curious on what you planned out to make this from scratch, did you get a body suit to base the foam around and then pattern out the fabric??? Really curious about the whole process of this thing, I'm very interested in cosplay and would like to start trying make slightly more complex cosplays or even a quadsuit eventually.
i had to build a duct tape dummy of my body in the pank position with the help of my mom at the time. then i started to build a hiking backpack frame from pvc piping and thick nylon straps. from there i could add the neck frame, wings and tail attachment.
For 1st cons, my advice is go with a manageable costume within your skill & budget til you know your limits with con wandering & what you're willing to deal with for a costume. After years of cons & ren fairs, experience has taught me which of my costumes I can wear for how long & will choose accordingly based on the con re: travel, hotel room access, available assistance, etc. I'd estimate Toothless to be at least $50-$120 for suede cloth alone depending on fabric quality. idk for the rest.
I do have fun wearing toothless but he only gets worn to one convention a year and this costume really deserves to be out more than that. Plus i have ideas for other large costumes i might want to make in the future and need the room.
I've seen a lot of suit up videos. This one looks like it was long and a lot more complicated that regular bipedal fursuits, but the end result is really cool-looking.
how do you feel physically after a day of cos-playing? i did a Kirby once going from my knees to standing, and for a week after i could hardly walk :p also any tips or hints for anyone thinking of a "quad - cos-play?"
“Hey...it looks like the dragon is f*cking her” “You know they can hear you right?” IM SORRY I DIED XD This suit is amassing btw! Most I’ve her done is make tails and ears?? I don’t have the patients and dedication to make something this big.
Have you weighed the costume? I can see, from the video, that you are not supporting the entire costume on your back because the tail section is touching the ground. However, the wings and the fan must add some weight on your back. In addition, depending on how long you are bending over on all fours and carrying anything on your back gets weighty.
are your front shoulders lower than your hips, i have seen other quads and they always seem to have really long front legs to keep them up, however you seem to be really low to the ground stilt wise, just wondering how big the front stilts are
I'll admit, I'm uber jealous of whoever owns the costume now. XD I wonder though.... If there was a sort of string (fishing line?) attached to the legs and connected to the head, it might allow you to lower the head when standing upright and raise it when on all fours. Much like how the mechanical hand I had uses the string and pulling mechanism to bend the fingers. It starts at the knees or ankles, goes through a flexible tube-like structure along the back, and ends near the chin to implement the IK effect of the head. A similar method could be achieved with the movement of the wearer's head (a headband or helmet-like object with fishing lines attached). The lines intersect at the back of the wearer's neck in an "x" shape so that wen the user moves his or her head to the side, the suit's head will move in the same direction. Another idea is that a gear-like mechanism to rotate the head in the direction your head is facing (rotated).... Maybe even a VR with a camera system to help you see, but that might utilize more resources/battery power, as well as software that specifically works with the VR and camera.... And then there are concerns of how to navigate with loss of power or when the camera system malfunctions.... Still, the fishing line idea's much more simple and uses less resources and battery power.
oh trust me i had all those ideas when the original costume was made but sadly lack of skills and time didn't give me the opportunity to really experiment with all those mechanics. If i made another i would employ many more puppet like aspects to really bring the suit to life
I had no idea haw hard it was to suit up in your toothless, but at the same time i find it epic on haw it all fits together. :7 Also 6:14 lol naughty xD
Where can I buy such an awesome costume? I mean, i would chance the position of the pupils because else it looks like the dragon is squint-eyed. but the complete costume itself is just fucking awesome. so please tell us, where we can buy this. thank U ;-)
would you recommend a costume like this to somebody who has minor back problems? i thought about making a quad suit, but since i have a herniated disc, im sure id have to really fit it so my back wouldnt suffer much.
I love your toothless quadsuit ^^ It's so cute and all. If I could afford it and have the room to have it I would so much buy him from you. I will miss this little fellow :( Byebye Toothless!
I've worn costumes similar to this and it's so much fun to mess around in and have people oo and aww over you Haha, it gets a bit uncomfortable FAST though. I'd assume it's very claustraphobic and sweaty in there lol.
So awesome! I'm going to miss Toothless, but its great to see what you had to go through to put him on. That takes some real patience along with actually building it xD
Monoyasha, can you make a tutorial to make the cage, head, and materials you used? please I am dying to find every piece of information from only comments, videos, and what you say >.< And also, is there a certain height you need to be? The costume looks small but not small enough for young people.
I would love to make a costume like this!!! I've never been to a con, but I desperately want to go, and I want my first cosplay to be epic. If you dont mind my asking about how much would something like this cost to home-make? and about how much time would you expect it to take to build? Do you have any tips for a new cosplayer?
Amazing! i want one so bad. my son thought it was a real toothless dragon lol. im a huge fan of How to train your dragon everything. so this is epicly amazing. i reeeally want one. i so wish dragpns were real... oir world is so boring and plain...y cant dragons or pokemon or superheroes b real... ugh... thank god i still have a good imagination at 28, and thank goodness for vid games and cartoons and anime. but still... i want a pet friend dragon! ph and whoever made this did a great job. i would make the wings and tail move and do a few diff things but im sure it would cost more and b more high tech. this is simple and beautiful. great job. u should make a vid on how to make it!
How long did it take you from planning to building, in making your Toothless quadsuit? That looks like a lot of planning and effort that went into his creation.
omg how did u make this and how long did it take? because im a big fan a HTTYD and i need sompthing like this for Halloween the little kids would be amazed to see this. so plese tell me how u made it and how loong it took and the materials. thanks!
I have been making extreme costumes since 2003 and it took me 6 months of planning and 3 weeks of construction. Best to look up videos on youtube on how to build quadsuits and start planning 1 yr ahead of time to build.
I remember watching this yearrssss back and it's still the best costume that I've ever seen :')
It was custom made by Monoyasha herself. You can't get a costume like this in a store, and Mono isn't making suits anymore. There is another costume maker who makes costumes like this named Beastcub, but she will not make copyrighted characters on commission, as doing so is illegal.
TH-cam : "Hey, wanna watch a person run around in a Toothless costume, most of it being them getting into the suit?"
Me : *"Of course."*
I do not recommend quadsuits for Any back problems. this does make my back ache a bit after use and I can image it would be much worse for anyone with a medical condition.
Monoyasha it is SSOOO amazing!!!!!
I still what one that's a httyd one like Luna or toothless 😊
I'm so glad I found this video again. When I was little I wished for this costume every year for Christmas. This makes me so nostalgic ugh

Whoa I wanna see

That costume.... That is insanely well made!!

Hey the light fury is a female ad and has a full tail
God you look like a real moving toothless haha I wish I wear that whoo ha
Epically Awesome!!! You forgot one thing, though: make sure you go to the bathroom BEFORE you get into the costume. It looks like it'd take half an hour to get out of the thing XD

Hey, what do u do for a living? Oh I dressed up in a dragon suit and be a dragon!
SO AMAZING! I really just am in awe about this outfit.

The toothless costtom looks nice and beautiful

This was a rush project? That was gorgeous work.
we're the wings able to open up and spread out?
sadly they do not
Im srry but no
Extremely impressive !
I've seen a lot of suit up videos. This one looks like it was long and a lot more complicated that regular bipedal fursuits, but the end result is really cool-looking.
I love Toothless and that costume is absolutely amazing, it’s so realistic. Well done on creating a fabulous costume. Jennifer xx 😀
how do you feel physically after a day of cos-playing? i did a Kirby once going from my knees to standing, and for a week after i could hardly walk :p
also any tips or hints for anyone thinking of a "quad - cos-play?"
I WANT THIS COUSTUME IN MY LIFE 😍

Same here
Me to so cute
Ikr!!!!!!
Same
i planned this suit for 6 months and did small scales tests. only had 3 weeks to create it.
I was waiting for him to start flying
This is where I first knew about cosplay and fursuits.
Nice Costume! I Love How To Train Your Dragon From DreamWorks Animation.
“Hey...it looks like the dragon is f*cking her”
“You know they can hear you right?”
IM SORRY
I DIED XD
This suit is amassing btw! Most I’ve her done is make tails and ears??
I don’t have the patients and dedication to make something this big.
I suddenly have more appreciation for seeing you at A-kon...

This is The best toothless cutstom ever NEVER SELL THIS IF U DO SELL IT FOR 10,000
the head movement looks so cool. Is the springs just like bungee springs or are they something more solid?
I tried to look this up until i realized............ you made it *YOURSELF*
are your front shoulders lower than your hips, i have seen other quads and they always seem to have really long front legs to keep them up, however you seem to be really low to the ground stilt wise, just wondering how big the front stilts are

I love your toothless quadsuit ^^ It's so cute and all. If I could afford it and have the room to have it I would so much buy him from you. I will miss this little fellow :( Byebye Toothless!
omg what a old vid about my favorite series
8 years ago lol
im glad to see HTTYD fans
When I was little, I asked my mom to buy this for me because I loved the movie and I would always pretend and roleplay it with my friends. XD
Oh my god this costume is GORGEOUS!!
How is this a rush project for you?! This looks like it took months!!
thank you. took months of planning but i only had 3 weeks to build the physical costume. so yes thats a rush job
Monoyasha that’s amazing that you got it done in only three weeks-
I've worn costumes similar to this and it's so much fun to mess around in and have people oo and aww over you Haha, it gets a bit uncomfortable FAST though. I'd assume it's very claustraphobic and sweaty in there lol.
It really is!
So awesome! I'm going to miss Toothless, but its great to see what you had to go through to put him on. That takes some real patience along with actually building it xD
Very good
8 years later this is on my recommended because I’ve been watch a lot of httyd ....
i know this is really old, but i really have to at least try. How'd you manage to make the claws? That's the only thing stumping my project rn
i sculpted and made molds to cast plastic versions
@@Monoyasha Tysm for replying! Even though I already made them, I really appreciate your answer.
Monoyasha, can you make a tutorial to make the cage, head, and materials you used? please I am dying to find every piece of information from only comments, videos, and what you say >.< And also, is there a certain height you need to be? The costume looks small but not small enough for young people.
sorry i can not make a tutorial for something i no longer own and did not document the construction process
So cool. Great job! :)
Normally, I would expect this to be weird/creepy but this was just good. High quality costume for a movie trilogy I love.
I would love to make a costume like this!!! I've never been to a con, but I desperately want to go, and I want my first cosplay to be epic. If you dont mind my asking about how much would something like this cost to home-make? and about how much time would you expect it to take to build? Do you have any tips for a new cosplayer?
in total its 20 pounds but considering its size that's very light.
Was it easier than its looked getting in toothless?
This is so impressive. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I hear you. Can't wait to see other cool costumes that you make in the future!
Wow is that a costuming department, is that how costumes were made?
Wahhhhhh I want it so bad
same
;-;
What is the name of the costume or did you make it if you don’t mind me asking?
I made this costume
That is so awesome!
Amazing! i want one so bad. my son thought it was a real toothless dragon lol. im a huge fan of How to train your dragon everything. so this is epicly amazing. i reeeally want one. i so wish dragpns were real... oir world is so boring and plain...y cant dragons or pokemon or superheroes b real... ugh... thank god i still have a good imagination at 28, and thank goodness for vid games and cartoons and anime.
but still... i want a pet friend dragon!
ph and whoever made this did a great job. i would make the wings and tail move and do a few diff things but im sure it would cost more and b more high tech. this is simple and beautiful. great job. u should make a vid on how to make it!
How long did it take to make this again?
with how busy i am 1yr if not longer
Quad suits are REALLY hard to walk in, good job!
How long did it take you from planning to building, in making your Toothless quadsuit? That looks like a lot of planning and effort that went into his creation.
Nice wow that must of took a long time for the prosses of making the costume
This looks better than the actual one in universal studio
agrees
wow cool if I go in a suit like that that would be awesome!
Dude, how do you not have claustrophobia in that thing?
i just dont have that problem
Wow! The costume looks real. Where did that come from
i built this costume
I would die in that thing... but good job on it! REALLY GOOD JOB!
That is so cute. I love it. :)
where did you buy that cause it looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME
This is so cool and detailed, you should be very proud. How did you get the leathery look?
thank you, I found a textured upholstery fabric from jo-ann fabrics. then used puffy paint to create the large 3D scales
oh wow that is really cool. Thanks for the info on the inner working of the suit and great advise too. Now I'm wishing i had a quad
WERE DID YOU FIND THAT! Or did you make it.
I made this
I actually want to know what all you used to make this so I can make one myself. seems like a very challenging but fun suit to make
you can research quadsuit construction here on youtube. sorry other than this video i dont have any tutorials
I first thought were a real night fury LOOL
omg how did u make this and how long did it take? because im a big fan a HTTYD and i need sompthing like this for Halloween the little kids would be amazed to see this. so plese tell me how u made it and how loong it took and the materials. thanks!
