Well, you might introduce Nidhogg as a rare dragon that only appears under specific circumstances, like during a lunar eclipse or in a hidden realm. And you could make its interaction with the main characters change the course of the story in unexpected ways.
One way could be to have Nidhogg be an ancient and mythical dragon that holds a secret key to some hidden power or treasure that the characters must discover. You could also give Nidhogg special abilities that make it stand out from the other dragons in the story.
You could have the characters wear masks for a disguise during a secret mission or adventure.
It's not too complicated. You can start by imagining yourself as a character in the How to Train Your Dragon world and describe your interactions and experiences with the existing characters.
