Lesson 7: XXXX-Rated Creatures Part I
Centaur:
Well lets get this lesson rolling. Lets start off with a Centaur. Now centaurs are a combination of a horses body and a man's torso. These creatures come in tons of different colors. Now these creatures are very intelligent and are capable of human speech. These creatures must also be treated in the up-most respect. If not treated well Centaurs will turn against you and can be very violent. These creatures tend to live in forest in herds of anywhere from 10-50 at a time. They are very knowledgeable in the arts of Astronomy, Archery, and Magical Healing. Centaurs are commonly associated with Greek myths.
Erkling:
Now we have already talked about Gnomes. So this time we will be talking about Erklings. Now Erklings look a lot like Gnomes but they are taller than Gnomes. Erklings stand at about 3 feet tall. Erklings originated in the Black Forest of Germany. These creatures have very pointy faces with high pitched cackles that draw children away from the safety of their homes, in which the Erklings will then eat them. The German Ministry of Magic has contained these creatures and the last know attack was on a 6 year old boy named Bruno Schmidt who hit the Erkling over the head with a collapsible cauldron. Lets move on now shall we.
Graphorn:
Graphorns are sometimes used as horses by mountain trolls. Though the Graphorns do not take kindly to this. Graphorns have an aggressive nature, and mountain trolls are more commonly seen with scars because Graphorns have used their large pointed horns to attack the trolls. These creatures have two humps and a purplish gray color and live in the mountainous regions of European countries.
Kappa:
Now Kappas are Japenese water demons. Now if your in shallow pools of water or streams you better watch out for these. These creatures look like the muggle creature a monkey. But instead of fur a Kappa has fish scales. Another sign that gives away a Kappa is a hollow top on its head which carries water. Why does it have this you ask? Well if you ever come into a confrontation with this creature you should trick it into bowing. The water it carries will spill out and the Kappa will be powerless. Though you can also throw a cucumber with your name carved into it and the Kappa will let you be. Kappas feed on human blood so don't get to close to these creatures.
Merpeople:
These creatures are also known as Sirens, Selkies, and Merrows. But what are these creatures? Muggles know them as mermaids. But these creatures are more than just lovely maidens that sit on rocks and crash boats with their beautiful songs. Merepeople live throughout the world and have a highly organized way of life even though they are secretive like centaurs. They also have a their own
language, Mermish, in which few witches/wizards have mastered. Merepeople declined the status of Being because they like Beast more. The oldest Merepeople are the Sirens from Greece. Though there are Irish Merepeople known as Selkies. These Merepeople tend to be a little less on the good looking side. But all Merepeople share the same common love for music. Lets see what else we have!

Phoenix:
This creature is a beautiful swam-like creature with a brilliant scarlet color. It has a golden beak, talons, and tail. This beautiful creature builds its nest on the sides of mountains in China, Egypt, and India. This creature has extreme magical powers. Its tears have incredible healing powers. It too,
like the Diricawl, has the power to disappear into to nothingness and reappear at will. The Phoenix's song is also magical. It has the power to bring bravery to a pure of heart person and fear to those who's hearts are impure. The Phoenix lives to an extremely old age. At the time of its death it burst
into flames and then emerges from the ashes as a new baby chick. Phoenixes are gentle creatures that eat only plants and are known not to kill. The reason for its XXXX rating is because few people have been able to domesticate it.

Runespoor:
Runespoor are basically a three headed snake. (A one headed snake is bad enough but this one has 3) The Runespoor began in a small little African country called Burkina Faso. Now because of its Livid Orange with black stripes its very easy to spot. So Burkina Faso's Ministry has made unplottable forest to house these creatures. Now these creatures aren't very aggressive considering that only 1 head is venomous. That is the right head. Now each head serves its own purpose. The Left head is the planner. It decides where it will move and what it will do next. The middle head is the dreamer. It sits there and imagines beautiful visions. The right head (The venomous one) is the critic. That head will comment about what the other two heads are doing. Runespoors don't tend to live very long because they usually end up fighting each other. But they can commonly be seen missing the right head because the other two teamed up to bite the right head off. Its time for the nasty fact of the day! Runespoors produce their eggs through their mouths. (I told you nasty fact of the day.) They are the only known creature to do that. These eggs are worth a lot of money and are used in some potions. Now lets move on and get away from the snakes >>
Sphinx:
This is an Egyptian creature with a human head and a lions body. Sphinxes are very intelligent and LOVE riddles and puzzles. Witches and Wizards use these creatures to protect their valuables and riches. That is the only time a Sphinx is usually dangerous. Now lets move on to something else.
Troll:
No, not the grade you'll get in this class if you haven't been doing the work >> I'm talking about the creatures that can stand up to 12-13 feet and weight over 2000 pounds. Trolls are very strong but very stupid. Trolls behavior is unpredictable and violent at some times. They can be found in Europe,
Britain, and Ireland, but originally started out in Scandinavia. Trolls usually talk to each other in grunts and can sometimes says a few easy human words. But not all of them are stupid. There are some SLIGHTLY intelligent trolls that have been trained to guard things. There are three different
types of trolls: Forest, River, and Mountain. Forest trolls has pale-green skin and some of them have brown or green hair. River trolls have short pointy horns and it can sometimes hairy. It has a purplish skin tone and east raw flesh and meant. These trolls are known to live under bridges. Mountain trolls are the biggest and typically the most violent trolls. They have pale gray skin and are usually bald. So I suggest you stay away from these creatures.

Winged Horses: (XX-XXXX)
Winged Horses range from XX all the way to XXXX rated creatures. They are found world-wide and in many different breeds. The Abraxan breed is known for its power and large size. The Granian is very fast and usually a gray color. The Aethonan breed is usually chestnut brown in color and can be found usually in Ireland and Great Britain. The last breed is the rarest of them all. The Thestral. This breed is black in color and is considered as a bad luck if met. They also have the power of turning invisible. Like the Hippogriff a disillusionment charm must be placed on them at regular intervals to hide their different appearance from others.
