How to Train Your Dragon[]
Meatlug is the first dragon the teens are forced to battle during the Dragon Training lessons. She defeats and knocks down all of them except for Astrid and nearly kills Hiccup. She notably does not even contemplate sparing him, but Gobber yanks her away just in time to save Hiccup. The teens continue to train with her throughout the film, and Hiccup's tactics, which he has learned from watching Toothless, work very well with her.
At the film's climax, Hiccup taught his classmates how to ride the dragons before they flew off to rescue their tribe from the Red Death. Meatlug was ridden by Fishlegs. She fights in the battle, but gets discombobulated by the noise of the Viking shields. She spins out of control and lands on Fishlegs. That ends her part in the battle. She is seen again at the end of the film being ridden by Fishlegs. She and her rider race off after Hiccup as the new era of Berk begins.

Gift of the Night Fury[]
It is revealed Fishlegs named his Gronckle Meatlug, and Berk is preparing to celebrate Snoggletog for the first time with their dragons when suddenly the dragons all leave.
Fishlegs is revealed to have chained up Meatlug, preventing her from leaving until Hiccup accidentally releases the Gronckle, and she flies off, taking a surprised Hiccup with her. Inside the barn where Fishlegs kept Meatlug, he, Astrid, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnutdiscover that Meatlug is a female when they find her eggs in the hay. Until that point, the Vikings, including Fishlegs had thought that Meatlug was male, although apparently having noticed some behaviors more in line with female dragons, Fishlegs comments that "actually explains a few things".
Meanwhile Meatlug, with Hiccup on her back, flies to an island filled with dragons and their newly-hatched babies. There, Hiccup realizes this is where all the dragons come to lay their eggs. Hiccup manages to return all the dragons and their babies to Berk, where Meatlug immediately goes to feed her hatchlings which she left at the barn and is tackled by a happy Fishlegs. Meatlug presumably partakes in Snoggletog with her rider as Fishlegs is holding two of her babies.
DreamWorks Dragons[]
While the Dragon Riders practice flight maneuvers in Berk's forest in "The Terrible Twos", Meatlug and Fishlegs get separated from the group. Turns out that both rider and dragon became stuck in the trees. Hiccup pulled Fishlegs from a branched tree trunk (after first accidentally pulling his pants off) and then Meatlug crashed to the ground on her own from her weight breaking the trees.

Hiccup convinces him to take him to Dragon Island. Stoick and the other Dragon Riders follow by ship. They retrieve their dragons and force a show-down with Alvin and his men. Stoick allows the dragons to return to Berk, much to Mildew's dismay.
Meatlug is showcased by Fishlegs in "How to Pick Your Dragon", when Hiccup encourages his father to pick a dragon of his own.

In "Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man" Meatlug assisted with finding the lost treasure of Hamish I, using a map created by Hamish II.

In "The Iron Gronckle", Meatlug, when she and Fishlegs were dismissed from finding an Outcast ship because they were slow, Meatlug ingested a large amount of rocks, which allow her to create a lava pool that when dried up was stronger and lighter than iron, dubbed Gronckle Iron by Gobber. After she ran out, Fishlegs and Gobber gave her different rocks, accidentally giving her a magnetic one which results in her skin becoming magnetic. Meatlug became frightened and ran out of the village after attracting different metal objects, including Hiccup's metal leg, and discovering the Outcast ship, Fishlegs and Hiccup used her magnetism to disarm the Outcast ship, sinking it in the process.
In "Fright of Passage", Meatlug went with Fishlegs and Stormfly to assist Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless in fighting off the Flightmare during Aurvandil's Fire.
In "Worst in Show", Meatlug felt neglected when Fishlegs spent time training with Iggy. During the competition, Meatlug found Alvin, Savage and Mildew spying on the teens.

Afterward, having regret neglecting her, Fishlegs decided to catch up with Meatlug and played games with her.
In "Appetite for Destruction", Meatlug and Fishlegs were able to rally the wild Gronkles of Dragon Island to defend their home against the Screaming Death.
In "A View to a Skrill, Part 1", Meatlug then helped Fishlegs and Hiccup examine the FrozenSkrill that was found by the Berserkers.

After the Skrill and the twin disappeared, Meatlug and Fishlegs then searched for them with little success.
In "A Tale of Two Dragons", Meatlug assisted Hiccup and the other riders in cleaning up Mildew cabbage field. When Stormfly and Hookfang started to act weird, Meatlug assisted Fishlegs in finding the cause, which was Dragon Root. After Stormfly cut it loose, Meatlug flew it out to sea.
