LEGO SET 76406 - Alternate build | Hungarian Horntail Dragon
Lego Set 76406-1: Beyond the Hungarian Horntail
The Hungarian Horntail is one of the most striking dragons ever released by LEGO: its soaring wings, articulated tail, and flame-ready jaws capture the raw power of Rowling’s fiercest beast. But what if we reimagine these same 762 pieces not as a fearsome wyrm, but as a whole zoo of prehistoric giants, sea-going vessels, and even mech warriors? In this post, we tap into the sculptural spines, textured plates, and technic elements hiding within set 76406-1 to spark your creativity. Whether you’re into dinosaur reconstructions that stomp across your desk or steampunk-style ships that ride imaginary seas, these seven MOCs will show you just how versatile your Horntail haul can be.
Each build here uses only the bricks from 76406-1—no extra parts required. Click on any model to jump straight to the full instructions, then let your own imagination take flight. And if you ever want to drift back to dragon form, your Horntail awaits in the box!
