In the end, Horntail broke the Pact between the dragons and Halflingers and attacked the Halflingers' village, stealing the egg of Nine Spirit which they were protecting. This was a crime that no dragon known as the guardian of order should have committed.
Ultimately, Horntail overthrew the reign of Nine Spirit, and the forest was conquered by the demonic servants of Horntail. Since then, no traces of true, honorable dragons could be found in the forest. Horntail, who has three heads and, subsequently, three different minds, is currently hiding in a cave to heal his wounds, and plotting to rule the regions even past Leafre using the egg of Nine Spirit.”
- ― Chronicler J.K.
Horntail is an evil dragon and one of the Great Kings of Minar Forest.
Story
Long ago, a war took place between the two great dragon kings, Nine-Spirit and Horntail. To undermine Nine-Spirit's rule, Horntail killed the good king and stole his egg, causing Nine-Spirit's followers to leave Leafre. However, Horntail was gravely injured in the battle and retreated to the Cave of Life in order to recover, planning to one day use the egg to expand his rule beyond Leafre. Under his influence, all the lesser dragons were corrupted and became evil, while the Halflingers who served the dragons cowered in fear.
When the player approaches the cave, he/she sees Moira trapped in a cage; she pleads with the player to slay Horntail.
In Yum Yum Island, Puptail is a fusion of Horntail and a dog, who was formed in an experiment that involves reusing the Erda (life energy) of Maple World's strongest creatures to create new lifeforms, conducted by Kaling.
Battle Overview
Horntail is a Boss that, much like Gollux, consists of multiple body parts that appear in different maps. The party must defeat all of them to win the Boss Battle.
Before the main battle, the party must fight the Right Head and Left Head in two preliminary battles. Both have 100,000,000 HP in easy mode, 330,000,000 HP each on normal mode and 3,300,000,000 HP in chaos mode. The Left Head has ice-based attacks, can summon Red Wyverns, Blue Wyverns (not in easy mode), and Dark Wyvern (2 at a time), can create spiked tombstones on the floor (below the platform) and cast Weapon Cancel and Magic Cancel. The Right Head is similar, but uses Electric attacks.
Horntail as a whole consists of his three heads, two arms, wings, legs, and tail. In the main fight, his Left Head and Right Head retain some of the abilities from the preliminary battled, while the middle Head uses Fire-based attacks and skills, as well as summon Wyverns. The left and right heads have 100,000,000 HP in easy mode, 330,000,000 HP each on normal mode and 3,300,000,000 HP in chaos mode. The middle head has 235,200,000 HP in easy mode, 490,000,000 HP in normal mode and 3,900,000,000 HP in chaos mode. All three heads can cast Weapon Cancel and Magic Cancel. In chaos mode, the left head can cast Physical Reflect, and the right head can cast Magical Reflect.
His Right Arm and Left Arm can Seduce and drain MP. Both have 90,800,000 HP in easy mode, 230,000,000 HP in normal mode and 2,300,000,000 HP in chaos mode.
His Wings can heal both the HP and MP of the rest of the body and can summon Green Cornians and Dark Cornians. They have 100,000,000 HP in easy mode, 270,000,000 HP in normal and 2,700,000,000 HP in chaos.
His Legs have an earthquake stomp attack with a powerful knockback that can also stun. It has 67,200,000 HP in easy mode, 130,000,000 HP in normal and 1,300,000,000 HP in chaos.
His Tail also has an earthquake attack and can summon a poison mist cloud. It has 33,600,000 HP in easy mode, 80,000,000 HP in normal and 900,000,000 HP in chaos. (It is recommended that players destroy this part first; aside from the poison its touch attack can do upwards of 27, 000 points of damage, or 33,000 when buffed.)
His body is not dangerous unless physically touched, but only when all parts are reduced to zero HP is he finally defeated.
Easy and Normal Horntail will both grant 4,611,597 EXP upon clearing, and Chaos will grant 8,473,319 EXP upon clearing. The EXP reward will not be affected by any EXP boosts.

Trivia
- Horntail's name is similar to the Hungarian Horntail of Harry Potter.
- A photograph found in the Monster Park prior to the REBORN update shows Horntail with Spiegelmann, suggesting the two are friends, or used to be.
- If the photograph is shown to Spiegelmann, he'll bribe the player with Monster Park Coins into keeping quiet about it.
- Horntail also appears in Zero's early game (after Alpha and Beta meet) but only as the giant Left Head. Horntail starts crying after being attacked by Zero, and Freud states that Horntail is just a baby.
- In Chaos mode, the background turns from being a cave to a stormy, dark background. This is also seen in the battle against Chaos Pink Bean and pre-revamped Chaos Zakum. This is probably because the Black Mage corrupted them, making them stronger and more menacing.
