Magical Magic Creature Spotlight: Clabbert

[sweettalkeress.livejournal.com]

  So, today the magical magic creature we’re going to look at is...

Clabbert

MOM Classification: XX

This is the first animal we’ve seen that’s native to the United States- the south, apparently. Although it’s since been exported worldwide, which would fuck up the ecosystem, but whatever, it’s not like those wizards care about something like that (but hold that thought for a later installment). In appearance it’s a cross between a frog and a monkey, but wait, the best thing about it is that it has a special forehead marking that flashes red when it senses danger. As such, American wizards once used them for a time to mark the appearance of Muggles. However this turned out to be a mistake when the Muggles, you know, noticed the flashing little animals! Wow, don’t the Wizards just devise the best means of concealment ever?



Oh, and also? In America!!XD

Now we just need Sasquatch and the wendigo! And a zillion ghosts in the Winchester Mystery House.

The chupacabra and the Montauk Monster would be fun :-D

Are Muggles dangerous to Clabberts? Or did their owners induce a Pavlovian response by punishing them if Muggles got too close? (And how can Clabberts tell the difference between, say, a Muggle and a Muggle-aware witch or wizard who knows how Muggle clothing works?)

I wondered about that too. It certainly wouldn't be above these Wizards to torture their pets if Muggles get too close. The only way I could think of for how to differentiate between a Muggle and a Wizard in Muggle clothing is that a Wizard would know what was going on while a Muggle would not and ask about it- which goes to show how ineffective this really is as a safety ward against Muggles!
