Fake-Tastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!-Journal Entry 05-Clabbert

The Clabbert is a tree-dwelling creature, in appearance something like a cross between a monkey and a frog. Its arms and legs are long and supple, enabling the Clabbert to swing between branches with the agility of an orangutan. The head has short horns and the wide mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth. The Clabbert feeds mostly on small lizards and birds.
The Clabbert's most distinctive feature is the large pustule in the middle of its forehead which turns scarlet and flashes when it senses danger. American wizards once kept Clabberts in their gardens to give early warning of approaching Muggles, but the International Confederation of Wizards has introduced fines which have largely ended this practice.
