DRAGON

ANTIPODEAN OPALEYE

            "Perhaps the most beautiful type of dragon, it has iridescent, pearly scales and glittering, multicolored, pupil-less eyes, hence it's name." 
-J.K. Rowling

DOXY 
"Like the fairy, it has a minute human form, though in the Doxy's case this is covered in thick black hair and has an extra pair of arms and legs. The Doxy's wings are thick, curved, and shiny, much like a beetle's. Doxies have double rows of sharp, venomous teeth."
-J.K. Rowling 











DIRICAWL


"The diricawl originated in Mauritius. A plump-bodied, fluffy-feathered, flightless bird, the Diricawl is remarkable for its method of escaping danger. It can vanish in a puff of feathers and reappear elsewhere... Interestingly, Muggles were once fully aware of the existence of the Diricawl, though they knew it by the name of "dodo". 
-J.K. Rowling





DEMIGUISE


"The Demiguise is a peaceful herbivorous beast, something like a graceful ape in appearance, with large, black, doleful eyes more often than not hidden by its hair. The whole body is covered with long, fine, silky, silvery hair. Demiguise pelts are highly valued as the hair may be spun in Invisibility Cloaks."
-J.K. Rowling




CRUP

"The Crup originated in the southeast of England. It closely resembles a Jack Russell terrier, except for the forked tail. The Crup is almost certainly a wizard-created dog, as it is intensely loyal to wizards and ferocious towards Muggles."
-J.K. Rowling

CLABBERT 

"The Clabbert is a tree-dwelling creature, in appearance something like a crosss between a monkey and a frog. It originated in the southern states of America, though it has since been exported worldwide. The smooth and hairless skin is a mottled green, the hands and feet are webbed, and the arms and legs are long and supple, enabling the Clabbert to swing between branched with the agility of an orangutan. The head has short horns, and a wide mouth, which appears to be grinning, is full of razor-sharp teeth. The Clabbert feeds mostly on small lizards and birds.
The Clabbert's most distinctive feature is the large pustule in the middle of it's forehead, which turns scarlet and flashes when it senses danger."
-J.K Rowling









CHIZPURFLE


"Chizpurfles are small parasites up to a twentieth of an inch high, crablike in appearance, with large fangs. They are attracted by magic and may infest the fur and feathers of such creatures as Crups and Augureys. They will also enter wizard dwellings and attack magical objects such as wands, gradually gnawing their way through to the magical core, or else settle in dirty cauldrons, where they will gorge upon any lingering drops of potions."
-J.K. Rowling
