Quintaped

Quintapeds (Quintapedus Carnivorus) are a wizard-created species classified as Hominids.

Behaviour
Quintapeds, who are only found on the Isle of Drear, are highly hostile and carnivorous. Their relative intelligence and their great strength make them fearsome threats to any wizard, especially as they seem to be especially angered by human beings.

Magic Resistance
Quintaped fur is spell-resistant, which makes them all the more dangerous to wizards and muggles alike.

Heartstring as Wand Core
Quintaped Heartstring has been used as the core of a wand on one occasion. The wand was noted to be strong but temperamental, to the point of overpowering a simple Stupefy to the point of nearly killing its target when its owner was especially angry.

Origin
In the late Middle-Age, the Isle of Drear was inhabited by two clans of Scottish wizards, the McBoons and the McCliverts. The accidental death of the head of the McCliverts at the hand of Quintius McBoon during a drunken wizard's duel resulted in the surviving McCliverts taking revenge on the McBoons by Transfiguring them into absurd, horrific beasts. The McCliverts hadn't foreseen how dangerous the resulting beasts would become, and were slaughtered by the creatures.

British Ministry of Magic Classification
