Harry Potter: Top magical creatures that are super powerful but underrated
The wizarding world in Harry Potter is a hidden world full of super powerful creatures, whether proven or still being downplayed compared to reality.
1. Zouwu (Unrated)
Zouwu is a creature from China, inspired by the creature of the same name in the country’s mythology.
Despite being aggressive at times, Zouwu is said to be `a large cat, easily frightened and run away by humans`.
An extremely powerful beast, Zouwu is very strong, can move thousands of miles in a day, and also possesses the ability to teleport by bending the surrounding space.
Additionally, it is unclear why Newt did not include it in his book Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
2. Thunderbird – Thunderbird (Rated X.X.X.X)
Thunderbird is a legendary, large bird (higher than a person’s head when mature) originating from North America, and is most common in Arizona, USA.
The Thunderbird is described as having the head of an eagle, similar to the Hippogriff.
A famous American wand maker, Mr. Shikoba Wolfe, used the tail feathers of this bird to make wand cores, and these wands were quite popular in the early 20th century.
Not only is it a creature of noble origin, the Thunder Bird is also the first creature that Mrs. Seraphina Picquery – president of MACUSA at that time, included in the `law to protect magical creatures in North America` since the end of 1927.
3. Hidebehind – Night Monkey Star (Rated X.X.X.X)
Da Hau Tinh is a hybrid species between An Hau and… Ma Xo, living and harassing in the Massachusetts area.
They love to hunt people, and only witches with high vigilance can defeat them.
4. Snallygaster – Bird Snake (Rated X.X.X.X)
Snallygaster is a magical creature native to North America, shaped like half bird (upper body), half reptile (lower body).
Although it cannot breathe fire like a dragon, Snallygaster possesses jagged teeth like steel saw blades that can cut prey, and tough skin that can resist bullets.
The Heartstring of the Serpent can be used as a wand core, especially for wizards of Ilvermorny Academy.
5. Swooping Evil (Not Rated)
This blue winged creature easily reminds people of a combination of a reptile and a very large butterfly.
It can be considered a dangerous creature due to its taste for human brains, but is also noted for its ability to deflect certain spells with its flight.
