Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them is a textbook written by Newt Scamander that describes a variety of different creatures that have been classified as beasts regardless of their configuration and intelligence.

The "beasts" in the textbook are organized alphabetically by name, with each marked by the Ministry of Magic classifications as to relative levels of danger. these are:


 * XXXXX -- Known wizard killer/impossible to train or domesticate
 * XXXX -- Dangerous/requires specialist/skilled wizard may handle
 * XXX -- Competent wizard should cope
 * XX -- Harmless/may be domesticated.
 * X -- Boring

Some beings at their own request, such as Centaurs and Merpeople have requested classification as "beasts" so that they can live free in the woods, free of clothing and Wizarding world regulations. Other creatures, such as Leprechauns, have the qualifications for "beings," but have never applied for the status.
