Changes: Jobberknoll

Revision as of 22:07, 6 August 2019

The Jobberknoll is a small, magical, blue speckled bird.^[1]

Description

The Jobberknoll never makes any noise until the moment before it dies. It then releases a long scream, which consist of every sound it ever heard backwards. It lives in northern Europe and North America and feeds mainly on small insects.^[1] Jobberknoll feathers are used as potion ingredients in Truth Serums and Memory Potions.^[2]

Behind the scenes

According to Samuel Johnson, a Jobberknoll is a loggerhead, a blockhead.
The description of the Jobberknoll that it repeats everything it has ever heard before it dies is perhaps a reference to the old myth that Swans were supposed to sing a beautiful melody at the moment of their deaths, hence, "swan song."
