Abraxan
Huge and powerful
With giant wings and a taste
For only whiskey
Acromantula
Giant and deadly
With a poison tongue that stings
In multiple ways
Ashwinder
Thin and grey with eyes
That glow like the fire from which
It comes into life
Auguery
Thin and tired, his
Message of rain is not
A message of death
Banshee
Long black hair and a
Green face; do not listen to
Her cries of terror
Basilisk
King of serpents is
Brought into life by a toad
And gone by rooster
Billywig
Small and blue, flying
About, so giddy and free
Thanks to its stinger
Blast-Ended Skrewt
Crossing breeds is not
Legal for a reason, as
This is the result
Blood-Sucking Bugbear
Killer of roosters
Wrongly accused by Hagrid
In the second year
Boggart
Shifting into shape
To reveal what makes your heart
Tremble with terror
Bowtruckle
Razor sharp fingers
And a body like twigs, he guards
The tree he calls home
Bundimun
Green fungus with eyes
Keep the secretions at bay
Or risk your whole home
Centaur
Mysterious and
Calm observers of all things
But mostly the sky
Chimaera
Vicious and deadly
Mixing lion, goat, dragon
To create a beast
Clabbert
Green skin and short horns
When the pustule flashes red
Danger is nearby
Cockatrice
Rooster meets dragon
Don't use in the Triwizard
Tournament again
Crup
Like a Jack Russell
With a forked tail, so loyal
To wizards only
Dementor
Such darkness and pain
Sucking the happiness from
The world around you
Demiguise
Gentle and peaceful
With large black eyes and long hair
He's invisible
Diricawl
Not a Dodo, you
Silly Muggles, he only
Vanished to escape
Doxy
Small little pests with
Black hair and venomous teeth
They can infest home
Dugbog
Mistake it for a
Piece of dead wood and its sharp
May find your skin
Erkling
Small and elvish, keep
Your children away from the
Entrancing eaters
Erumpent
Huge African beast
With an explosive horn; it's
Good to stay away
Fire Crab
Tortoise with a large
Jeweled shell, stay away from
The back or get burned
