Toothless was designed by Chris Sanders who made Lilo and Stitch. He more or less reused Stitch's design and mixed it with big cat proportions when he did toothless. It's kinda funny/cool once you realize the Stitch influence. Even some of toothless' behavior is lifted from Stitch.

So you know that scene where the kid puts the tail prosthetic on and Toothless tries to shake it off by bouncing crazy?

The way those motions were animated was that Chris took his black kitty, and stuck some tape on the kitty’s tail and recorded the ensuing chaos.
