"Such Underbeings are destined, through the course of their lives, to turn permanently into beasts..."
Skender regarding Maledictuses[src]

An Underbeing was an individual, either fully human or part-human, without powers but of magical ancestry. In 1927, Circus Arcanus had several misshapen and downtrodden Underbeings gathering money from the onlooking crowd.[1] Skender also described Maledictuses as 'Underbeings'.[2]

It is possible that more prejudiced members of the wizarding world regarded Squibs as Underbeings, due to their lack of magical ability yet magical parentage.
