Acromantula are believed to be wizard-bred, possibly to guard dwellings or treasure, and are therefore possessed of the power of human speech and human intelligence. With this, it is also their tradition to feast upon their dead, as they were going to do to Aragog. They are, however, totally untrainable and gain a XXXXX Ministry of Magic rating (wishfully amended to fourteen Xs by Ron Weasley). Only Rubeus Hagrid has had any success with one of them, as he befriended Aragog when it was at a very young age. Aragog's children, however, are quite wild and only refrained from eating Hagrid due to Aragog's command. After their father's death they felt quite free to attack his old friend.

Augurey

The Augurey, also known as Irish Phoenix, is described as looking like a small and underfed vulture. It is greenish black in colour and are found in Britain and Ireland and sometimes Northern Europe. It lives in a tear-shaped nest that is usually found in a bramble and thorn patch and it usually only leaves its nest in heavy rain, to feed. Augureys were once thought to foretell death with their low wailing cry (more than one wizard has suffered a heart attack when passing a bush and hearing an unseen Augurey wail). In recent times it has been revealed that Augurey cries usually foretell bad weather and have since been used as household pets, although their almost continuous wailing during the winter months can be hard to bear.

Billywig

A Billywig is a vividly-coloured insect native to Australia. About half an inch in size, a Billywig is sapphire blue and can fly at great speed by rotating the wings attached atop its head. At the end of its body it has a long, thin stinger, which has been known to cause extreme giddiness and levitation in humans. Too many stings have also been known to cause uncontrollable flight which can last for days. In rare cases, a severe allergic reaction can occur, which causes permanent hovering.

Blast-Ended Skrewt

A Blast-Ended Skrewt is a creature that Rubeus Hagrid, in his capacity as the Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts, introduces to classes during Harry's fourth year. The Daily Prophet journalist Rita Skeeter reports that they are a crossbreed of a Manticore and a Fire Crab, although her stories are not at all reliable (she refers to the Skrewts as "Bang-Ended Scoots" when interviewing Hagrid).

Upon their birth, Skrewts are described as looking like shell-less lobsters, pale and slimy on the surface. They have no identifiable head. Upon hatching they measure six inches (15 cm) and smell of rotting fish. Blast-Ended Skrewts have a natural mechanism to emit a strong spark from one end (hence their name), and the blast is typically strong enough to move them several inches. The spark occasionally causes surface burns to anything in contact with the beast. The males also sport a stinger at the other end and the females, although missing the stinger, have a sucker for blood on the underside. Skrewts do not hibernate. Subfamilies and Genera Neophoberinae Acanthacaris Thymopinae Nephropsis Nephropides Thymops Thymopsis Nephropinae Homarus Nephrops Homarinus Metanephrops Eunephrops Thymopides Clawed lobsters comprise a family (Nephropidae, sometimes also Homaridae) of large marine crustaceans. ... This article refers to the process of hibernation in biology. ...

At two months old and measuring a metre in length, Skrewts develop a thick, grey, shiny armour — described as looking like a cross between a scorpion and an elongated crab. At this stage the Skrewts begin to display their aggressive tendencies between each other — often killing one another. Though aggressive, the males may be controlled by fastening a rope around its stinger. After another month they measures 2 metres in length.

A Blast-Ended Skrewt was used as an obstacle in the maze during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament. At this point, over nine months since birth, the beast is 3.5 metres in length and the male's stinger now extends over its back. The shell is resistant to most spells, though the fleshy underbelly is still vulnerable.

Bowtruckle

Bowtruckles are small, wooden tree guardians that live only in trees that are used in the making of magic wands. Only about eight inches tall, they are found in the West of England, Southern Germany and some forests in Scandinavia. They feed on woodlice and fairy eggs. Though shy and generally peaceful, Bowtruckles have long, sharp fingers that can scratch and gouge out eyes if they feel their trees are threatened. Tree cutters often get attacked, but an offering of woodlice normally keeps the Bowtruckle at bay long enough to harvest wand wood.

Bundimun

Bundimuns are walking fungal creatures whose secretions rot the foundations of houses. Described as looking like green fungus with eyes when at rest, Bundimuns have many spindly legs for scuttling away on.

Crup

Originating from South East England, Crups look much like Jack Russell Terriers except that they have a forked tail. They will eat almost anything, even old tires. Crups are loyal and friendly to wizards and witches but ferocious toward Muggles. As such, owners must pass a test that determines if they are capable of controlling their animal in Muggle areas. Once the test has been passed, a Crup license is granted. Crups also must have their forked tail removed by a painless Severing Charm at around six to eight weeks old, to prevent Muggles noticing the suspicious trait.

Chinese Fireball

Also known as the Liondragon, the Chinese Fireball is the only Oriental dragon and has a noticeably striking appearance. Scarlet and smooth scaled, it has a fringe of golden spikes around a snub-snouted face and prominent eyes. Gaining its name for the mushroom-shaped flames that burst from its nostrils when it gets angry, the Fireball weighs between two and four tons. Its eggs are vivid crimson speckled with gold, and the shells are much prized for use in Chinese Wizardry. The Fireball is aggressive but more tolerant of its own species than most dragons are, sometimes consenting to share its territory with up to two others. It will feast on most mammals but seems to prefer pigs and humans (this, of course, contradicts the Chinese dragon myths, in which they are usually benevolent to people and are aligned with water as opposed to fire).

In 1932, a Welsh Green flew over a beach of sunbathing Muggles. This has become known as the Ilfracrombe Incident. Fatalities were prevented because of the efforts of a wizarding family that happened to be on holiday at the time. These wizards subsequently performed one of the biggest batches of Memory Charms in a century on the terrified Muggles. This action was necessary to uphold Clause 73 of the International Code of Wizarding Secrecy, which states that if any magical creature is noticed by Muggles in a particular country, then the Ministry of Magic in that country, and any wizards involved, will be subject to discipline by the International Confederation of Wizards. However, as reported in the 1972 book Muggles Who Notice by Blenheim Stalk, there was one Muggle who escaped the Memory Charms: "To this day, a Muggle bearing the nickname 'Dodgy Dirk' holds forth in bars along the south coast on the subject of a 'dirty great flying lizard' that punctured his lilo."

A dangerous British dragon with rough scales, the Hebridean Black is known to be quite violent — so much so that it reportedly requires an area of a hundred square miles as territory.

Norwegian Ridgeback

Norwegian Ridgeback juvenile (Norberta)

The Norwegian Ridgeback, in the form of Norberta (Norbert), was the first dragon encountered by Harry Potter during his time at Hogwarts. The book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them notes several facts about this species, including the prominent jet-black ridges on its back (hence the name), the fact that, unusually for dragons, the species preys on water-dwelling creatures (as well as most large land animals), and the fact that this particular species develops its fire-breathing abilities at the age of 1 to 3 months, which is earlier than other species of dragon. It is also a rarer breed of dragon and is especially aggressive towards its own kind. The eggs of the Norwegian Ridgeback are black and, as demonstrated by Hagrid in HP1, can be placed in the center of a fire to hatch. The name ' Norwegian Ridgeback ' most likely was copied off of the ' Rhodesian Ridgeback ' a well loved breed of dog. ^[HP1] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Snidgets are walnut sized, have spherical bodies and have red, jewel like eyes. // Quidditch is a fictional sport developed by J. K.
