" Keep back there, Hagrid! They can shoot fire at a range of twenty feet, you know! I've seen this Horntail do forty!" - Charlie Weasley regarding the firepower of these dragons Īlong with their viciousness, tail spikes, and fiery breath, Horntails were shown being extremely fast in flight, as the one Harry fought in the Triwizard Tournament was able to keep up with his Firebolt, a broomstick that was capable of going from 0 to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and was also able to keep up with his flying skills, a very impressive feat considering Harry's talent as a seeker. Young ones were noted to be quicker and more vicious, making them even more dangerous. This breed was especially aggressive when protecting their young.
Horntails were also known for being one of the most vicious and aggressive breeds of dragon, and that was saying something since all dragons were known to be ferocious Charlie Weasley commented on their ferocity, saying that the Horntail was a "vicious thing", and even Rubeus Hagrid regarded it as a "right nasty piece of work". The Horntail's foods of choice included cattle, sheep, goats, and whenever possible, humans. Its eggs were cement-coloured and particularly hard-shelled. While having a very far reaching flame, the Horntail's breath could reach extremely high temperatures, as it made a stone turn red hot in seconds. The dragon's roar was a yowling, screeching scream, and its flame could reach to about fifty feet. It also had yellow eyes, with vertical pupils like a cat's, bronze horns and similarly coloured spikes that protruded from its long tail which it would gladly deploy in combat. It had black scales, and was lizard-like in appearance. | Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire | Movies (function(w,d,s,l,i).kHvagc a svg." And there was the Horntail, at the other end of the enclosure, crouched low over her clutch of eggs, her wings half-furled, her evil, yellow eyes upon him, a monstrous, scaly, black lizard, thrashing her spiked tail, leaving yard-long gouge marks in the hard ground." - Harry Potter's perception of this dragon at the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament
