Bundimun

Warning! At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Spoilers will be present within the article.

The Bundimun is a magical beast that is found worldwide. It is a greenish, many-eyed pest that feeds on dirt and can destroy a whole house. Their presence is indicated by the foul stench of decay. The secretions of the Bundimun is extremely acidic and rots building structures, and with a large enough infestation the building can collapse. Scouring Charms can clear out small infestations, but large colonies need to be dealt with by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures (Pest Sub-Division). Bundimuns spits out its acidic ooze when annoyed, but when diluted, are used in some magical cleaning solutions.^[1]

In the 1980s, Rubeus Hagrid's hut suffered a severe bundimun infestation which Jacob's sibling helped eradicate.^[2]
