Horntail

Horntail is an evil power-hungry dragon who rebelled against the Nine Spirits' rule and distorted the area with evil in order to kidnap an egg of Nine Spirit Dragon and consolidate its power over Minar Forest. Horntail now holds an ambitious wish of ruling over the entire Minar Forest. It now waits for powerful Maplers to enter the Cave of Life to challenge it.

When the player approaches the cave, he/she sees Moira trapped in a cage; she pleads with the player to slay Horntail, giving the pendant to enter the cave and do so.

Battle Overview
Horntail is a Boss that, much like Zakum, consists of multiple body parts. 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, can create spiked tombstones on the floor (below the platform) and cast Physical Reflect (chaos mode only). The Right Head is similar, but uses Electric attacks.

Horntail as a whole consists of his three heads, two arms, wings, legs, body and tail. In the main fight, his Left Head and Right Head retain the abilities from the preliminary battled, while the Main Head uses Fire-based attacks and skills, as well as summon Dark Wyverns. It has It has 100,000,000 HP in easy mode, 390,000,000 HP in normal mode and 3,900,000,000 HP in chaos mode. All three heads can cast weapon cancel or magic cancel.

His Right Arm and Left Arm can Dispel and 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.

Trivia

 * A photograph found in the Monster Park shows Horntail with Spiegelmann, suggesting the two are friends, or used to be. (If it is shown to Spieglemann, he'll bribe the player into keeping quiet about it.)
