Hælefel

A Hælefel is a fantastic beast that is commonly found in forests and concentrated magic areas. Their base form is identical to a feral black cat, except for the sets of small horns that grow on their heads. Despite their size, this creature is typically found solo in the wilds, but can sometimes be part of a group of three (3) or four (4).

One important feature about Hælefel to be cautious of is their venomous bite and affinity for sources of magic. These felines are naturally drawn towards any kind of magical source, whether it be objects like wands or entire other fantastic beasts. Their venomous bite is known to have a "withering" effect, which leaves the target writhing in pain for some hours while they feel as though they're shriveling up inside.

Hælefel are not typically docile creatures. When they become aggravated, they will magically change their physical form from the housecat-like appearance to something several feet larger. This "demonic" appearance they have is how they are known for engaging in combat - with black eyes with red pupils, red facial and body markings, threateningly sharp teeth and more incredible horns. Overall, their fantastic size, terrifying body and horrendous venom makes Hælefel one big bag of NOPE to encounter in combat!
