The Swooping Evil is a large, blue-and-green winged magical creature.[2] It looks like a cross between a reptile and an extremely large butterfly, and, when it is not spreading its spiked wings in mid-flight, the Swooping Evil lives in a green spiny cocoon.[3]
It can be quite dangerous, as it can feed on people's brains (which it "sucks out"). It also secretes venom that, when properly diluted, can be used to erase bad memories.[3]
Newt Scamander brought one to New York in his suitcase in 1926.[2]
