- "The Knarl (northern Europe and America) is usually mistaken for a hedgehog by Muggles. The two species are indeed indistinguishable except for one important behavioural difference: if food is left out in the garden for a hedgehog, it will accept and enjoy the gift; if food is offered to a Knarl, on the other hand, it will assume that the householder is attempting to lure it into a trap and will savage that householder’s garden plants or garden ornaments."
- — Newt Scamander, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them[src]
The Knarl is a magical beast that greatly resembles a hedgehog in its physical appearance.[1]
Description
It resembles the hedgehog so much so that there is only one known (behavioural) difference between them: when food is left out for a hedgehog it will appreciate and enjoy the gift; a knarl will see it as an attempt to lure it into a trap and hence savage the garden of the householder who left the food. Muggle children have often been blamed for damage committed by a Knarl.[1]
Diet
Knarls eat wild daisies. A potioneer will often have to remove Knarls from a daisy patch in order to pick the flowers. Casting a well-aimed Stunning Spell at the Knarl will work well and will not do any permanent harm to the animal.[2]
Uses
Knarl quills have magical uses. Fred and George Weasley once paid Mundungus Fletcher six Sickles for a bag of knarl quills, to experiment with for possible use in their Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes products.[3]
History
They were featured in the Care of Magical Creatures O.W.L. during the 1995–1996 school year, where students had to locate it amongst a group of hedgehogs.The trick was to offer each creature some milk.[4] Given how Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant and milk is thus poisonous to them, the Knarl being more intelligent, may be actually be aware of this fact.
