#HarryPotter #HarryPotterfanfiction #HarryPotterworldbuilding #FantasticBeasts Thunderbird The Thunderbird is one of the most widespread magical creatures of North America. Indigenous traditions across the continent describe enormous raptors capable of generating thunder with their wingbeats and lightning from their eyes. The living animal closely matches these accounts: an immense bird of the Accipitriformes type, able to summon and direct storms, emit lightning from its eyes, and fly at near-supersonic speeds. They are highly intelligent as well. Thunderbirds function as apex predators. Their presence is widely regarded as a principal reason dragons remained comparatively rare in the New World, as the two groups would have competed directly for territory and prey. Between the eighth and eleventh centuries some Indigenous nations succeeded in taming and riding limited numbers of these birds, employing them in intertribal warfare. Subsequent climatic shifts—the Little Ice Age and prolonged mega-droughts in the American Southwest—produced extensive habitat loss. Like dragons, Thunderbirds possess long reproductive cycles and eggs highly sensitive to temperature variation; most populations never fully recovered. By the period of European contact the species had already become uncommon. Further hunting by American and European wizards reduced numbers still more until strict ecological regulations were imposed. Thunderbird eggshells, feathers, tears, and blood possess nearly as many practical applications as corresponding dragon materials, ranging from magical medicine to alchemy. A small number of individuals can form familiar bonds with witches or wizards, though their substantial space and dietary requirements render such arrangements tightly controlled. A Few Documented Species Pamola: A large dark-blue and white species native to the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, capable of generating blizzards. Piasa: A golden species with red and blue belly and inner-wing feathers, formerly ranging across the Ohio and Mississippi River basins; effective at regulating humidity and inducing rain and fog. Arikara: A dark-black species that nests on the ground, named for the two large red feather crests on its head and marked by white spots around the eyes. The most widespread form, it ranges from the Pacific Northwest across the plains to Utah and is a generalist hunter capable of taking prey from small whales to other Thunderbirds. Menominee: A dark-blue and black species of Canada and the Great Lakes region, distinguished by red spots around the eyes; proficient at creating waterspouts and thereby hunting large fish and seals.

#HarryPotter #HarryPotterfanfiction #HarryPotterworldbuilding #FantasticBeasts Pukwudgie The Pukwudgie is a small humanoid magical creature native to eastern North America and distantly related to the European gnome, though considerably more dangerous. It possesses the abilities to render itself invisible, alter its voice, and belch fire. Pukwudgies hunt cooperatively, employing these traits to lure prey into ambushes, over cliffs, or into other traps before capturing and consuming it. Their historical range extended from New England southward through Maryland and into Virginia. Indigenous tribes managed local populations through a combination of food offerings and occasional cullings conducted by shamans. The creatures were sometimes tolerated or even encouraged because they trapped larger predators like Wampus or Sasquatch, and thereby reduced threats to human settlements. European wizards later adopted similar practices, leaving offerings to encourage Pukwudgies to deter dangerous magical fauna. In the modern period the species’ range has contracted sharply due to human encroachment. Attacks on humans have increased in some areas. In others, abundant food waste allows Pukwudgies to ignore Muggles while directing aggression toward wizards perceived as withholding offerings. Current regulations reflect this dual character: populations that refrain from targeting people are permitted to remain; any group that begins attacking humans is subject to elimination.

To the British intelligence agents reading my tweets, I want to make it absolutely clear that I do not condone sarcasm, irony or having fun on the internet. When I was part of the team that launched AOL UK in the 90s, I warned law enforcement that within 30 years, members of the public would be using the internet to spread laughter, mock politicians, and share funny pictures. I’m deeply disappointed that my warnings weren’t taken seriously. We’ve now reached the point where children are hurting the feelings of politician by making them look like rabbits. This is completely unacceptable. I trust the authorities will act before someone adds floppy ears to another politician.

Be a small town politician. A child puts bunny ears on your photo and comments on how you dress. So mad you report it to the police. Cops show up at the child's house. Causes international outrage. Now the bunny pic is in the New York Post. And your Google results are just rabbit ears forever.

@eternal_prey True but there is always going to be someone out there who thinks why not probably in Appalachia or the Everglades

@eternal_prey Would their be any wizard rifles and what would they be and how would they be modified

Honestly, the Blood Magics of the Aztecs opens itself up to some downright Lovecraftian Horror when you consider such entities as Tlaloc and Huitzilopotchli. ESPECIALLY the Rain God Tlaloc. The Aztecs had magic that derived from SUFFERING. If any sects of that magic remain, they are niche but VERY disturbing affairs.

#HarryPotter #HarryPotterfanfiction #HarryPotterworldbuilding #FantasticBeasts Mothman The Mothman is a nocturnal magical creature native to North America and a relative of fairies, pixies, and sprites. It ranges from one to one-point-seven meters in height, with a wingspan of up to four meters, and displays a mixture of insect, avian, and humanoid features common to its broader family. In non-magical urban legend it is described as a large moth-human-bird hybrid that appears shortly before disasters; this account is among the more accurate Muggle depictions of an actual magical entity. Unlike most of its relatives, which favor mostly harmless mischief, the Mothman functions as a harbinger of woe. They can sense disturbances in the aetheric plane and multiple individuals are drawn to locations where major disasters are imminent. Individuals have been observed mimicking warnings previously heard at other catastrophe sites, apparently to reach potential victims. The creatures feed on misery, sorrow, and grief. Both Indigenous and later American witches and wizards have historically treated multiple Mothman appearances as warning signs of impending disaster; some events so indicated have been averted, while others have not. Certain Mothmen go further and act as active predators, attempting to induce tragedies such as vehicle collisions or spell misfires in order to feed. Because of this behavior the species is classified as a highly dangerous magical creature (Class XXXX) and has been subject to population culling. Specimens and their remains are nevertheless retained for use as early-warning indicators, and their organs find extensive application in divinatory practices.

#HarryPotter #HarryPotterfanfiction #HarryPotterworldbuilding #FantasticBeasts Werebat The Werebat is the product of a transformation curse transmitted by bite, one of several thropic conditions native to the Americas and analogous to the werewolf, werebear, werecat, and related curses of the Old World. Indigenous peoples contended with the curse for centuries before European contact; colonial populations subsequently suffered its effects as well. Like lycanthropy, the transformation occurs once each month. The afflicted individual becomes a large hybrid creature combining human and bat features, fully capable of powered flight and echolocation. Although predatory, the Werebat’s highly sensitive hearing typically drives it to avoid human settlements and their associated noise. Most individuals hunt rabbits, birds, and other small animals; certain South American variants are primarily frugivorous. Because the transformed state poses a comparatively lower risk to human communities than many other thropic conditions, werebats are better regarded than most of their counterparts. They remain subject to legal requirements on the night of the full moon: they must report to a designated shelter, confine themselves to their homes, or take Wolfsbane Potion. Occasional escapes have contributed to Muggle urban legends, most notably accounts of the Mothman. Not all such reports are attributable to werebats; a distinct creature known as the Mothman is responsible for a significant majority of the sightings.

We are beyond 1984, we are beyond Black Mirror.

#HarryPotter #HarryPotterfanfiction #HarryPotterworldbuilding #FantasticBeasts Curupira The Curupira is a small, muscular humanoid forest sprite native to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, recorded in the earliest Jesuit accounts of the sixteenth century. It is distinguished by bright red or orange hair and feet that face backward. The creature employs natural variations of the Confundus Charm to disorient its targets, causing them to walk in endless circles until exhaustion sets in. Once a victim—whether rainforest animal or human—is sufficiently weakened and lost, the Curupira attacks and devours it. When operating in groups, these tactics become markedly more effective, as multiple individuals can maintain overlapping disorientation fields and close on prey from several directions at once. Spanish wizards and conquistadors regarded the Curupira as a serious menace during the early colonial period. Organized culling campaigns were repeatedly mounted in an effort to reduce their numbers and secure travel routes and settlements within the rainforest. These efforts met with only partial and temporary success, as the creatures’ stealth, familiarity with the terrain, high reproductive potential and capacity for coordinated group attacks limited the impact of conventional hunting parties. The species is regarded as one of several New World variations on fairy and sprite-like beings and ranks among the more dangerous of them. Its predatory habits have made population control a standing responsibility of the Brazilian Department of Magic. Indigenous Amazonian tribes developed basic counter-rituals, most commonly employing the blood or hair of slain Curupira to create repelling wards effective against the creatures. These traditional methods remain of interest to contemporary magical authorities engaged in containment and research.

#HarryPotter #HarryPotterfanfiction #HarryPotterworldbuilding #FantasticBeasts Sasquatch (Bigfoot) The Sasquatch, commonly called Bigfoot, is a sapient magical being native to North America, distinguished from the majority of magical fauna by its capacity for reasoned thought and limited spellwork. Individuals can perform basic magical rituals centered on concealment, physical enhancement, and variations of banishment charms. These abilities have long been used to obscure their physical presence from both magical and non-magical observers. For thousands of years prior to European contact, Sasquatch competed with Indigenous peoples for hunting ranges and habitat. The arrival of European settlers accelerated the loss of territory. Their intelligence reaches approximately the level of a sixteen-year-old human, though they are notably long-lived. Strong natural resistance to spellfire has led many researchers to classify them as a distant offshoot of giants; their ability to employ their own magic, however, complicates precise naturalistic placement. Treaties were negotiated between the Magical Congress of the United States of America, various Native American tribes, and Sasquatch groups. These agreements were repeatedly broken by all parties. Eventually, reserved lands were established in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains, with smaller holdings retained by a few communities in the Southern United States. Occasional sightings by Muggles continue, as some individuals remain curious about the wider world, yet most Sasquatch prefer to manage their own affairs within their territories. Efforts to improve their treatment have increased over the past century. A number of individuals leave their communities to seek employment in the broader magical world, most often as bodyguards to prominent witches and wizards. One historical example is Petite, who served as bodyguard and personal servant to President Andrew Jackson; the arrangement was concealed from the public by magical means. The President told visitors to not lose any games played with Petite, as Sasquatch had a tendency to rip the arms off any who defeated them in games. As a result Petite became an exceptionally good chess and card game player in President Jackson's magical and muggle circles.
