Hippogriff
Highlands

Graphorn
Highlands
legendaryA massive, aggressive beast with thick purple hide and two enormous golden horns used as battering rams. Graphorns are among the most dangerous creatures in the wizarding world, and taming one is considered a legendary feat.
Phoenix
Mountains
legendaryAn immortal bird of brilliant crimson and gold plumage that bursts into flame upon death and is reborn from the ashes. Phoenix tears possess extraordinary healing properties, and their tail feathers are prized wand cores.
Thestral
Forest
rareA skeletal, winged horse visible only to those who have witnessed death, giving them an undeserved reputation as omens of misfortune. Thestrals are gentle, intelligent creatures that make excellent flying mounts once tamed.
Mooncalf
Fields
commonA shy, doe-eyed creature that emerges from its burrow only during a full moon to perform elaborate dances on its hind legs. Mooncalf dung is a valuable fertilizer that makes magical plants grow faster and stronger.
Kneazle
Settlements
commonA cat-like creature with large ears, a lion-like tail, and an uncanny ability to detect untrustworthy individuals. Kneazles make excellent pets and can interbreed with domestic cats to produce intelligent, loyal companions.
Mandrake
Greenhouse
commonA plant-based creature whose root resembles a small, ugly humanoid that screams when uprooted from the soil. Mature Mandrake cries are fatal to humans, but young ones merely cause fainting and are used in powerful restorative potions.
