Here ’s a inclination of the beasts , though I ’m trusted enough more will come out of that bag .

The Niffler

The Nifflerdon’t give a shit . It ’s a downlike creature that ’s attract to shiny thing , hence why Goblins like to use them to search for treasure . We already got at look at one in a former Fantastic Beasts trailer , but what ’s surprising is where the conception come from .

Fantastic Beasts visual effects supervisor Christian Manz said one of the biggest inspirations was the dear badger . “ We saw some with child footage of a honey badger raiding somebody ’s house with a entirely unsatiable desire to find food and nothing would get in its way , ” he say .

Thunderbird

I.E. the crazy thing that was flying around in the trailer . It ’s an eagle - like creature from Arizona that can create storms just by flapping its wings . It ’s also the sigil of one of the houses at American wizarding school Ilvermorny .

Bowtruckle

It ’s basically a cross between a joint bug and Treebeard from Lord of the Rings . Redmayne ’s graphic symbol , Newt , has four of them . According to Entertainment Weekly , the pattern squad tried out 200 different versions before they nail down the design , and Redmayne aver there ’s a certain one named Pickett who ’s Newt ’s favorite .

Demiguise

Is anyone else getting a football lineman vibration from this guy ? The Demiguise is an orangutan - like tool that can sprain invisible at will because its foresighted , silky tomentum can be spun into Invisibility Cloaks . Therefore , its pelt is highly attempt after , making the Demiguise an endangered species in the Potterverse . fortunately , it can see into the future , so the only way of life to get one is to do something wholly unpredictable .

Occamy

This is a animate being that ’s remained mostly orphic until recently . According to Entertainment Weekly , it ’s sort of like a “ crossbreeding between a tartar and a bird . ” It can originate or contract to fit wherever it ’s living , which means it ’ll likely have a well-heeled tiny home in Newt ’s traveling bag until , well , it aim out .
