- "I don't envy the one who gets the Horntail. Vicious thing. Its back end's as dangerous as its front."
- —Charlie Weasley about the first challenge of the Triwizard Tournament[src]
The Hungarian Horntail is a dragon native to Hungary, and is considered to be the most dangerous dragon breed. It has black scales, a spiked tail, and bronze horns protruding from its head. It has yellow eyes with vertical pupils. Its roar is a yowling, screeching scream, and its flame can reach to about fifty feet. The Horntail's food of choice is Humans, sheep and goats. Its eggs are cement colored with very hard shells.
During the First Task of the 1994 Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter had to face one of these dragons in an effort to retrieve a Golden egg. He Summoned his Firebolt broomstick to him, and used it to maneuver around the dragon to retrieve the egg.
