History
Even if it was officially created on December 6, 2014, the project was initiated by Yeray Espinosa in March that same year. After some months looking for people to join him, he met enough people to start training. The first to join the team where Nahia Otegui, Javier Fernández and Irene Velasco. One month later, Sergio Gutiérrez and Ander Carbón joined the team. This was the roster when they played their first game ever, where they won 210*-70 against Imperius Zaragoza.
After some months without any games, they played against the newly created Gasteiz Gamusins in the neighbour city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, winning again 40*-110. In that summer Nagore Marquina, Josema Molinos, Sergio Johan Serrato and Sandor-Aritz Augusto joined the team.
They played their first tournament on August 8, 2015, the Transpirynees Cup. Their roster for the tournament was of only six players, and Nil (Barcelona Eagles) and Miguel (Madrid Wolves) joined them to complete a 8-players roster. Even with that they defeated Toulouse Quidditch and Nightmare Grims to reach the final and lose by snitch catch, 80*-30, against Barcelona Eagles. They had their biggest victory there, winning 200*-0 against Toulouse. After this tournament and before next season started, Andoni Aranguren and Alexander Domínguez joined the team.

Heroic was the victory in semifinals, 80*-20 against Malaka Vikings, with a player in the hospital and another player injured.
