The Hungarian Horntail is a highly dangerous dragon from Hungary. Harry Potter fought a fully-grown Horntail during the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament.

About[]

The Hungarian Horntail has black scales, yellow eyes, bronze horns and pikes protruding from its long tail. It is lizard-like and blows flames that can range up to fifty feet, one of the longest for dragons. It feeds on goats, sheep and even humans.[1] The eggs of a Hungarian Horntail are black[3] like cement and hard-shelled. The newborn dragons claw their way out using their tails when the pikes protruding from its tail have developed. They are considered the most dangerous dragon out of every breed.[1]
