The MONSTER BOOK of MONSTERS
From across the world, to your very back yard, monsters and creatures can be found.
In this comprehensive book, both Monster, Beast, and Creature are described.
While not every creature described is the ideal “Monster” all must remember that every creature,
when caged,
when muzzled,
when backed into a corner at wand-point,
when cursed to reveal it’s powers,
or corked in a potion bottle to ferment,
can,
become,
Monstrous.
Please Note, that due to the nature of this book,

some pages may be devoured
and
lost.

Bundimun
e Bundimun is a magical creature found worldwide. It is a greenish fungus with many eyes, that
can destroy a whole house. The secretions of the Bundimun rot building structure, and if a
house gets a large enough infestation it can collapse. Scouring Charms can clear out small
infestations, but large colonies should be dealt with by the Department for the Regulation and
Control of Magical Creatures (Pest Sub-Division). Bundimuns are known to spit ou
t acid that can seriously harm anyone who bothers it. Bundimun Secretions, when diluted,
are used in some magical cleaning solutions.

A Hippogriff is a magical creature that has the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of a horse.
It is very similar to another mythical creature, the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear.

Murtlap
The Murtlap is a marine beast with a growth on its back resembling a sea anemone, found on the coastal
areas of Britain. The favoured prey of the Murtlap are crustaceans, though they will also go
for the feet of any human foolish enough to step on them The growth on the Murtlap's back may
be pickled and eaten to improve one's resistance to jinxes, although eating an excess of pickled murtlap
may cause one to grow unsightly purple ear hair. Murtlap Essence is a home remedy for cuts and abrasions.

A Niffler is a
treasure-hunting creature with a long

narrow snout. They are very attracted to shiny things,

BOOK of MONSTERS
which make them wonderful for locating anything metallic or shimmery,

but they might bite if a person is wearing any jewelry. Nifflers are gentle
creatures, and can be affectionate to its owners but will also destroy
belongings and property looking for things that sparkle.
Nifflers live twenty feet below the ground in
lairs, and can produce six to eight
young in a single litter.
Night Gaunt
Nightgaunts have a vaguely human
shape, but are thin, black, and faceless.
Their skin is slick and rubbery.
They sport a pair of inward-
facing horns on their heads,
and have clawed hands and a
long barbed tail which is used to
"tickle" their victims into submission.
They can fly using a set of membranous
wings. They make no sound.
Nogtail
The Nogtail is a demon-like creature resembling a piglet, but stunted by narrow
black eyes, a thick stubby tail, and long legs. It is mainly found across rural areas in
Europe, America and Russia. Nogtails sneak into a pigsty, and suckle on an ordinary
pig which curses the farm. The longer the Nogtail goes undetected, the longer the blight
will stay on the farm. Fast and hard to catch, the only way to make sure the Nogtail
will not come back is to chase it away with a pure white dog. Some people also hunt
Nogtails for recreation.

The phoenix is a large swan-sized Phoenixes are immune to the gaze of a

scarlet bird with red and gold plumage Basilisk which would normally kill anyone
, along with a golden beak and talons, who has direct eye to eye contact, or petrify
black eyes, and a tail as long as a through indirect eye contact. It boasts magical
peacock's. Its scarlet feathers glow tears and song. Their tears have potent \

Phoenixes are known for nesting
on mountain peaks. Their tears are also able to bring a person back
even from the brink of death, while the Phoenix song

approach their burning day they resemble
a half-plucked turkey. Also, their
eyes become dull, their feathers start to
fall out, and it begins to make gagging
noises. Then the bird suddenly bursts
into flames only to rise from the ashes
shortly after. In a number of days, they
grow back to full size, hence, phoenixes
are immortal.
Phoenix
The most startling of the phoenix's abilities
is its ability to regenerate itself. It periodically
bursts into flames when its body becomes old,
and rises from the ashes as a newborn chick.
This event is called burning day, and gives these
birds a great life span (if not forever), to the point of
virtual immortal, as well as the ability to take
the full force of a Killing Curse and still be reborn.
Phoenixes are capable of lifting a great

weight with their tails, such as being able to
effortlessly fly up a distance with four people
holding on to its tail. They can also leave
messages by bursting into flame to reappear
elsewhere, leaving behind a single golden tail feather.
Pixie
A Pixie is a small, bright blue mischief-maker,

and loves tricks and practical jokes. It is able to fly, and enjoys lifting people up
by their ears and depositing them on the tops of trees and buildings, showing incredible
strength for creatures of their size. Pixies can only communicate with other
pixies; their voices are described as shrill. They bear live young and mate
in the early winter.

the feet and clothing of unsuspecting
swimmers. Merpeople consider the
Plimpy to be a pest, and they deal
with it by tying its legs into a knot
and letting it drift away.
Pogrebin
The Pogrebin is a foot-tall Russian demon with a hairy body and an oversized
grey head. The Pogrebin is attracted to Humans, and enjoys trailing them. When
the Human turns around, the Pogrebin crouches down, and, because of its large head,
resembles a rock. If the creature manages to tail a Human for a few hours, a sense
of despair and futility will wash over the Human. When the victim sits or sinks
to its knees to weep, the Pogrebin attacks and attempts to devour them. Fortunately,
the Pogrebin can be fought off with simple hexes, Stunning Spells, or kicking.
Poltergeist
The Porlock Is
a horse guardian
native to England
and Southern
Ireland. They are
small, reaching a
height of two feet on
average when they
are fully grown and
covered in a large
amount of rough,
shaggy hair. It has a large nose,
small arms ending
in four stubby
fingers, and it walks
on two cloven hooves.
The Porlock
guards horses, and
lives on grass. It
can either be found
nesting in the straw
Porlock of a stable, or in
the middle of the
herd it is protecting.
Porlocks ar

A Puffskein is covered in soft, fur and spherical in shape.
Puffskein
It is a popular pet that does not object to being cuddled or thrown about.
The Puffskein is a scavenger, eating anything from leftovers to spiders, but it particularly likes to use
its long thin tongue to eat wizards' bogeys while they sleep.
The Puffskein is easy to care for, and they emit a humming sound when they are content.

Because of this, the Runespoor rarely lives

only magical beast known to do so. Runespoor eggs are
very valuable in making potions to stimulate mental agility
and have flourished on the black market for several centuries.

to occasionally be an omen

The salamander is a small
fire dwelling lizard that feeds on flames.
They are born out of flames,
and appear to be blue or red depending
on the heat of the flames. They live as long as the flames
that spawned them. The salamander can survive outside out of
the flames that birthed
it for up to six hours if fed on pepper.
Salamander blood has powerful regenerative
and curative properties.
Muggle world salamanders are amphibians, not

The sea serpent is an aquatic creature

found in several oceans around the world
including the Atlantic,
Pacific, and Mediterranean
Sea. Reaching over a hundred feet long with a
horse-like head and snake-like body
, the sea serpent is a
fearsome looking creature.
Despite this, no Sea
Serpent has ever been
known to hurt a human,
despite Muggle stories of
encounters with the beasts. It rises in
humps out of the water as it swims.
Curiously, the world's best known sea
serpent, the Loch Ness Monster, is
not actually a sea serpent. It is a Kelpie
whose favorite form is that of a Sea Serpent.
Sea Serpent
The Sandworm is a form of desert- dwelling creature, also called

Shai-Hulud, are cylindrical creatures with no significant appendages,
equipped with a fearsome array of crystalline teeth, used primarily for rasping
rocks and sand, and more than capable of eating anything imaginable.
Sandworms grow to hundreds of meters in length, with specimens observed
over 400 meters long. Sandworms live beneath the sand. Attracted to
rhythmic vibrations on the surface, they would breach in pursuit of the origin
of such vibrations. Due to the difficulty of studying these creatures, not much
was originally known about the wild sandworms. The longevity of the sandworm
was supposedly extreme, estimated in the thousands of years. Their skin is thick,
rough, and orange colored. It served the simple function of armor and was
comprised of many scales, each a few feet in size. These scales overlap and
interlock to form the armor that protect it against internal sand invasion.

Trenti
Th

The Trenti comes from the
folklore of Cantabria, Spain
. It is an imp-like creature
that is annoying but not malicious.
It is very difficult to see because
it lives deep in the forest and o om s m
resembles mushrooms, leaves, and ay ge
moss. Its most distinguishing features
t y ou
!
are a completely black face with green
eyes. This creature tends to stay
away from humans but it does like to
jump out of the bushes and scare
innocent walkers. Its favorite prank
is to pull women's skirts.

by Muggles in different stories; some of which conflict with each other.
Veela are a race of semi-human, semi-magical hominids reminiscent of the

Sirens of Greek mythology. Little is known
about their biology; they appear to be young,
beautiful human female caucasians.
Their appearance and especially their
dance are magically seductive to almost
all male beings. Veela are thought t
o have their own type of magic which doe
s not require a wand. When Veela are
angry, however, they transform into
something more like Harpies — their
faces turn into cruel-beaked bird heads
and long scaly wings burst from their
shoulders, and they can launch balls of
fire from their hands.

A werewolf is a human being
who, upon the complete rising of the full moon,
turns into a fearsome and deadly near-wolf. Werewolves
can be easily distinguished from regular wolves by several small
distinguishing characteristics, such as the pupils of the eyes, the snout
shape, and the tufted tail. At all other times, they appear as normal
humans, though will often seem to be ill as the full moon approaches. This
condition is caused by infection with lycanthropy, usually occurring when a human
is bitten by a transformed werewolf. A werewolf differs from an Animagus in the
fact that he or she does not transform by choice. With each full moon the person transforms
and no longer remembers who he or she is, and would kill even their best friend given the opportunity.

It is a malevolent
cannibalistic spirit into
which humans could transform,
or which could possess humans.
Those creatures who
indulged in
cannibalism were
at particular risk, and
the legend appears to have
reinforced this practice as a
taboo. It has enhanced strength
and speed. It can imitate
human voices to lure
in its victims,
which it
traps
and keeps
alive for long
periods so that it
can feed from them.
It lives in the Mountain
ranges and the forests of the
northern United States and
Canada. The Wendigo is a man-like
beast. Common features of this
creature include a skeleton-likeWendigo
body with the bones
pushing out on
its dried out ash
gray skin, much like that
of a corpse. It is said to have
sunken eyes, if not glowing hollow
sockets, and its dried lips are bloody
. They have sharp yellowish
fangs and long slimy
tongues.

Remember, that every living, and more disturbingly, sometimes the non-living creature
that walks, glides, flies, or appears in our world is special.
Whether it be a terrible Monster that rips apart human flesh at any chance
or a small, tamed furry beast, every creature has the terrible
potential to become
a true
Monster.
As with Humans, so are Creatures:

We all have light and the dark within us.
Some, fear the light and thrive in darkness.
Others, cannot stand the shade and chase the sun.
Monsters are inside every being...
Either waiting to be unleashed,
Currently running rampant,
Or more tragically,
forced to be unchained.
