I know it’s never explained in the show, but how the hunters captured some dragons is unfathomable to me:

Seashockers

Catastrophic Quakens

Eruptadon

Submaripper

Shellfire

I recall in one episode it shows that one method to subduing a dragon is luring them into a trap with food then gassing them with dragon root.

I am not confident that would work with a Quaken given how incredibly powerful they are. But the gas method would not work on a tidal class dragon.

I am trying to fathom how dragon hunters found deep sea dragons. Let alone dragged and chained the submaripper, and got the shellfire under control enough to guide it and attach a base of operations to it.

However once they did, the submaripper has been shown to be sensitive to vibrations from daggers, likely hinting at a type of echo location to track their prey. So the key would be driving it up towards the surface at high tide to an area that takes longer for lowtide to come in. This happens a lot with beached whales were something brings them to the surface towards beaches and they don’t recognise their own size so beach themselves. Essentially what I’m saying the hunters likely did was make a pool with an open end, disrupt the environment to flush the submaripper towards it, then as the sea level fell it was unable to emerge.

I’d assume a similar method was used for the shellfire since they appear to be controlled through Ryker’s hammer thing.

For the eruptidon, it seems to be quite used to human company so the most likely thing is they got close enough to shoot it through the dragon not being startled by their presence. As shown by the arrows left there. Then rolled it away on a large wagon. Probably would have taken a lot longer than the show implies since it’s heavily implied it happened at the top of the island but Tv logic.

Seashockers are quite rare according to Fishlegs so its very possible they aren’t as hunted but just as a thought experiment, I’d say you’d probably do a similar method to what he did. Allow them to surface in a lagoon, block off the exit, and lure them to the surface with fish. It’d be difficult and you’d likely need the net to be a more conducive material like copper so their shocks are contained. As we can see from fishlegs that the shocks aren’t powerful enough to kill so can likely be withstood though likely with some side affects
