Creature of the week

Hungarian Horntail

The Hungarian Horntail is supposedly the most dangerous out of all dragon breeds. This breed is especially aggressive when protecting their young. Horntails are classified as a beast according to The Ministry of Magic. They are also amazing flyers, in addition to that they can keep up with a Firebolt broomstick. Horntails can fly to incredible speeds, and Firebolts can go up to 150 miles per hour, so just imagine a dragon going that fast. One Hungarian Horntail was a guardian of one of the cursed vaults. The Horntail's diet could include cattle, sheep, goats, and on occasions, humans.

What they look like

The Hungarian Horntail has black scales, almost lizard-like. Their eyes are yellow and their pupil are cat like and vertical. They have bronze like horns and similar colored spikes along their long tails, which is good for combat. Hungarian Horntails can reach up to 50 feet in length when grown.

Magical Abilitys

Their blood, dragons blood, has many magical properties and the heartstrings from them can indeed be used as wand cores.

Quote from a Character

"I don't envy the one who gets the Horntail. Vicious thing. Its back end's as dangerous as its front"
