Norwegian Ridgeback

The Norwegian Ridgeback is a dragon native to Norway, and its habitat is the Northern mountains of Norway. It resembles the Hungarian Horntail, except for its black ridges on its back, the browner texture in its scales, and its less hostile attitude. It has venomous fangs, and its food of choice is large mammals, including water mammals. Its eggs are black. During the 1991 school year, Hagrid received a Norwegian Ridgeback egg from a hooded stranger in a pub. After hatching the egg, Hagrid named the creature Norbert, and tried to raise it. Eventually Hagrid gave Norbert to Charlie Weasley who took the young dragon to live with others of its kind. It was later discovered that Norbert was a female dragon, so they changed it's name to Norberta. Charlie Weasley said that the female Ridgeback's are more ferocious.
