The Knarl is just a hedgehog that get offended by food.
What’s the most “meh” magical creature in your opinion?

I will admit that Hogwarts Legacy has put a lot of effort in the animations of beasts and the brushing and feeding animations are very well made and adorable, but even after playing HL I still don't understand the appeal of a puffskein as a pet. Muggle pets like cats or dogs are so much better.
I still don’t get how we got a Quintaped, Manticore and all the dragon species into Hogwarts AND tamed them, like isn’t that a bit too dangerous?
Dang nintendo only got hippogriff as a mount
They did? I knew that in a mobile game they brought in a quintaped, which is considered untamable by Newt (well it is his book)
I don’t know about other beasts lol
Krups. They're just so... boring
Wait, where did you get a fully illustrated version of Fantastic Beasts? I only have a semi-illustrated.
Well it’s got an Occamy illustration as the cover, it’s updated with American beasts, it released as a 20 year anniversary celebration.
I also got a few American beasts, but my cover has the Chinese fireball.
I mean the idea that some magical creatures are just extra sassy versions of the animals muggles are familiar with is pretty funny
I’ll go with the common garden gnome. Nothing more than a pest really. Although one snuck into our house when I was young, ate all my Bertie Bott’s Beans. I cried for 10 minutes after that because my mom didn’t want to buy me new ones. Did get to throw the gnome over the fence, which was fun.

The Demiguise — the non-magical equivalent (sloth) is adorable and can’t sneak up on us.
Blast-ended skrewts, obviously, but that's the point of them
They looked like deformed, shell-less lobsters, horribly pale and slimy-looking, with legs sticking out in very odd places and no visible heads. There were about a hundred of them in each crate, each about six inches long, crawling over one another, bumping blindly into the sides of the boxes. They were giving off a very powerful smell of rotting fish. Every now and then, sparks would fly out of the end of a skrewt, and with a small phut, it would be propelled forward several inches
KNARL MARKS??
Murtlap. Pretty much just a rather that has a growth that act as a resistance to jinxes. That's boring. Also an acrumantula. It's just a giant spider that can talk. It's a bit uncreative.
I should really get the book, but otherwise the most meh to me is probably werewolf.
Before you all crucify me and burn me at the stake, I genuinely believe that werewolves are so overrated and overused that they have just become a meh sort of fantasy creature to me.
…fuck, I’m a “well actually….”
Werewolves aren’t considered magical creatures…they’re (i think) in the same category as merpeople, centaurs and house elves.
I believe merpeople, centaurs, and houseelves are referred to as "beings" by the department for the regulation and control of magical creatures. (Being division) Werewolves have departments in both the being division and beast division Technically making werewolves classified as magical creatures
Well, Werewolves are listed in my edition as creature, but they have a history of being shunted between beast and being, Centaurs and Merpeoples are beasts on the specific request they stay a beast.
I didn't know one could become a magical creature. Does that mean vampires and zombies are classified as magical creatures as well?
No, Vampires asked for being status, so did Hags, I don’t know if zombies are canon from one line by Quirrel, maybe he made it up?
Quirrel and Lockhart, but I can imagine they're classified as undead rather than creatures or beings.
Yeah they’d be in the same division as ghosts.
