A Shrake was a magically-created species of fish, found in the Atlantic Ocean. The creature was covered in spines and sought out and destroyed Muggle fishing nets.[1] The spines of the Shrake could be used as a potion ingredient.[2]

History[]

The first Shrakes were supposedly created in the early 1800s by a group of wizard fisherfolk who had been insulted by Muggles. The Shrake, by damaging the nets used by Muggles to fish in that area of the sea, caused no end of trouble.[1]
