The Chinese Fireball was a dragon native to China who was given its name due to the mushroom shaped balls of flame that shot from its nostrils. An alternative name, the Liondragon, came from its scarlet colour and golden fringe surrounding its snub-snouted face. Viktor Krum came up against the Chinese Fireball in the Triwizard Tournament and used a Conjunctivitis Curse to secure his prize egg.
