Hidden in the corner of one of the artist renderings for How To Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk land is Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson.

Underneath the wrath from Screaming Death, a scary white dragon featured in the How To Train Your Dragon series, is the former All That Nickelodeon star. Theme park blogger Alicia Stella shared her super sleuthing on X, formerly known as Twitter, and revealed that the photo edited into the artist rendering is, in fact, a photo of Thompson and his family during a 2020 ad campaign for the theme park.

Four years ago, Thompson was made a Universal Parks and Resorts spokesperson and shot a commercial for the park's "Let Yourself Woah" campaign.

This rendering with the hidden Easter egg wasn't the only released by the theme park in anticipation of Epic Universe's grand opening. They also shared more rides and attractions from the How To Train Your Dragon Land, including Hiccup's Wing Gliders, Fyre Drill, Dragon Racer's Rally, The Untrainable Dragon and Viking Training Camp.
