Edentulous - Gum and Gummer

Toothless & Hiccup

EDENTULOUS

Adjective. Early 18th century.

[from Latin edentulus.]

Having no teeth; toothless.

If the writers of the most excellent How to Train Your Dragon hadn't chosen Toothless as the name of the main dragon, they could have chosen Edentulous which, if you just think about it for a second, does rather sound like a classic Greek hero.
