Dowsers The housecat sleeps on magnetic lines curled up
into a ball with their head and tail touching, a symbol of eternity. Energy management plans for a house with a cat are easily aligned if you observe where the cat prefers to
take a nap - the best locations for your tranquility and stillness zones. A cat
with fur three or more colours or eyes of different colours was special in ancient temples,
especially sacred to the goddess Diana; the Buddhists of India considered cat symbols to figure
in creation art as lower astral forces.

Dolphin
Two dolphins playing with a ribbon symbolize Pisces, 12th
sign of the zodiac. The Dolphin is an early symbol for Christ, along with the Stag and Unicorn.
Dolphins love music, and can be charmed by songs sung in harmony or by the sound of
the water-organ. Dolphins are friendly to people; they carry shipwrecked sailors to land on their backs; they often play around ships and race with them. Some believe elders from Lumaria [Mu], Atlantis, and
other dying races survived extinction by turning themselves into Dolphins.
The Pink Dolphin of the Rainforest is near extinction. There is a kind of dolphin in the Nile that has a serrated back, which kills crocodiles by cutting into the soft parts of the belly.

Eagle - Hawk Soul carriers.
Far-sighted, swift, soaring ability,
weather stormy and fierce,
eagles and hawks represent divine
majesty, the superiority of the intellect over the physical and
of the spiritual over the material.
Eddic
mythology, both Freya and Odin possessed a hawk's plumage that
gave them the capacity for swift flight. The swiftness of the
eagle Garuda, Vishnu's mount, is noted in the Hindu poem Mahabarata.
J.R.R. Tolkien refers to eagles in Middle-earth. Peter Jackson filmed the Eagle:
Gandalf's rescue from Orthanc [FOTR], in defense of Aragorn's army and,
[Flying to attack fell beasts], during the search - and recovery of
Frodo [Gwaihir] and
Sam
[Landroval] [ROTK]
The Eagle, symbol of
fixed water: one of three symbols for Scorpio an emblem of the theurgic art and the secret
processes by which the infernal fire of the scorpion was transmuted into the spiritual
light-fire of the gods.

Professor Dumbledore and Fawkes
Fawkes - Phoenix
Fawkes, Dumbledore and Harry - Fawkes has always belonged to Professor Dumbledore and resides in his study. Fawkes is Dumbledore's possession, not a Hogwarts possession. Fawkes delivered the Gryffindor sword to Harry when Tom Riddle tricked him and forced him to face the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. Tears of the phoenix heal all wounds and neutralize poison. The miracle of the phoenix—born by fire, resolved by fire, refusing to die. The phoenix is the symbol of regeneration, rebirth, and transcendence.

Sea-goat guise: the fish-tailed Babylonian god Ea or
Greek god Pan who changed himself into a goat and jumped into the Nile, to emerge as
half-goat, half-fish, later placed in the heavens as Capricorn [zodiac] by Zeus. [As

on a mountain top.] scapegoat: ancient practice, selection of a scapegoat as the object
for a collective projection [symbol for Christ, scapegoat of the world]; domestic

Hyppogriff
Biologists are prone to sniff
At hybrids like the Hyppogriff.
In evolution's plan, they say,
There is no place for such as they.
A horse with wings could not have more
Than two legs, and this beast had four.
Well, I for one am glad to waive
Two of his legs, his wings to save.
I'd even sell my auto—if
I had one—for a Hyppogriff.
Buckbeak,
the hippogriff who bit Malfoy and was sentenced to an execution, was saved by Harry, and
Hermione when they used the time turner to travel back to help Sirius.
Buckbeak became a carrier for Sirius Black in the movie,
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Ibis
Egyptian Pantheon: Bird associated with Thoth, The
Scribe of the Company of the Gods, aka The Lord of the Divine Body. An ancient name for The

Kappa
A water-dweller resembling a scaly monkey with webbed hands, a kappa will grab and strangle waders in its pond (PA8). According to Snape, the kappa is commonly found in Mongolia (PA9), but the Care of Magical Creatures textbook states that the kappa is a Japanese creature.
Kelpie
The world's biggest and most famous kelpie is Nessie,
The Loch Ness Monster, in Scotland.
Kestrel
AKA Sparrow Hawk - the Kestrel takes its name from the Latin "crepitare" meaning to crackle (like the sound the Kestrel makes). Winhover is an ancient term for the Kestrel, aptly named from its habit of hovering in the air with its head to the wind. In heraldry, the Kestrel is often used as a symbol that the bearer recognizes life's opportunities and acts upon them at the most precise and correct moment (like the Kestrel does in hunting its prey).
Kneazle
This very intelligent cat-like creature can detect unsavory or suspicious persons very well and will react badly to them. However, if a kneazle takes a liking to a witch or wizard, it makes an excellent pet. The kneazle has spotted fur, large ears, and a lion-like tail (FB). Crookshanks is part kneazle (Nr, JKR).

MerPeople, Elementals and Transfigured
Environment: Merpeople are the most fair of elementals, though their lifespan
is shortest of all element inhabitants. There are many stories about the sailors
who have seen [and conversed with] Merpeople who live in the open sea.
Merpeople feel at home in fresh water like the Lake near Hogwarts
or Loch Lomond. They are a favourite of artists like Rackham. A Merperson in Ireland who lives in the lakes and the sea is known as a Merrow; see the Selkie.

Niffler
A black fluffy long-snouted creature which burrows in dirt as if it were water. Although nifflers are gentle and even affectionate, they are strongly attracted to anything shiny, which can make them difficult to control. They can be very useful for finding treasure, and are often kept by goblins for this purpose (GF28). Native to Britain, nifflers live in lairs up to 20 feet underground and have litters of 6 - 8 young.
Fred and George left a couple of nifflers with Lee Jordan when they left school. He levitated them into Umbridge's office through her window, where they cheerfully trashed the place, then attacked her when she walked in; Umbridge had a habit of wearing rings, and nifflers are prone to attempt to bite off jewelry (OP31, GF28). Opinicus
The opinicus differs slightly from the griffin, having four lion’s legs instead of two, and the tail is short like that of a camel. It is used as the crest of the Barber-Chirurgeons Company.
The Pegasus
The flying horse of Greek mythology belonged to Jupiter, or Zeus, Lord of the Sky. Versions refer to various origins for Pegasus, including he was born of the blood of the decapitated Medusa. In Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans, and other films that include Pegasus as one of their characters, he is a carrier tamed by Io, Minerva [Pallas Athena], Perseus, and his son. When Bellerophon went to slay the Chimera he was enabled by mounting the Medusa's head upon Pegasus before battle. It is said that one day Pegasus pranced around so frivolously that his hooves created a spring called Hippocrene, which was alleged to have magic power in its waters. If one were to drink water from this spring, one would be gifted with the art of poetry. The Pegasus is symbolic of poetic genius and inspiration, vision and refinement.
Heraldry: The pegasus or winged-horse ranks among the chimerical figures of heraldry borrowed from classical fable, and is more frequently employed as a crest or supporter than as a charge.
PHOENIX
Dumbledore's patronus is a phoenix.
The Phœnix was, as you might say,
The burning question of his day:
The more he burned, the more he grew
Splendiferous in feathers new.
Phoenix navigation
JKR and her characters - Accio Quote! The Patronus is unique and distinctive, a kind of personal spirit guardian. Members in The Order of the Phoenix would communicate with each other via their patronus, so that there is never any doubt which Order member has sent it. Nobody else can conjure another person's Patronus. 'Expecto Patronum' is the way to create the Patronus, while focused on thoughts that bring a feeling of happiness.

Selkie
Location: ROAN INISH, a tiny green island off the west coast of Ireland, wreathed in legends, ringed by seals and untouched by technology.
The Selkie was both woman and seal. We would call her a mermaid, but on that western coast of Ireland such creatures were well-known as Selkies. In John Sayles' film, The Secret of Roan Inish, a Selkie and her partner introduced a brood to those emerald green waters before she returned to her marine-mammal form. "For a maritime family, there's nothing like a little seal in the bloodline."

Golden Snidget
The Golden Snidget is today a protected species, but they were once hunted by witches and wizards. The diminutive size of the Snidget, coupled with its remarkable agility in the air and talent at avoiding predators, merely added to the prestige of wizards who caught them. Snidget hunting, which was usually undertaken in broad daylight, led to more Muggle broomstick sightings than any other pursuit. Snidget hunting finally crossed paths with Quidditch in 1269 at a game attended by the Chief of the Wizards' Council himself, Barberus Bragge. Soon Golden Snidgets were being released during all Quidditch games, one player on each team, the Hunter, having the sole task of catching it. As the Snidget population declined, Elfrida Clagg made the Golden Snidget a protected species. The invention of the Golden Snitch, that will exactly mimic the flight patterns and behaviour of the Golden Snidget, is credited to the metal-charmer wizard Bowman Wright of Godric's Hollow.

Tortoise
(turtle) Ancient symbol for the sign of the Moon, Cancer and an insulation around someone or something. Once prized as a major source of meat for sailors in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Tortoise is a symbol of longevity, patience and practicality; strength and time. It is also one of independence because it takes its home with it and is well protected. The name Tortoise (Lat. testuoo) is given to the ancient Roman protective shelter formed by soldiers with shields overlapping above their heads when attacking a fort. As the feminine power of the waters the Tortoise was an emblem of Aphrodite/Venus; also of Hermes/Mercury in Greco-Roman myth; sacred to 'pan' among the Arcadians and killing it was prohibited. Eastern philosophers often referred to tortoise shells as symbolic of luck, and an oracular device. They believed these were magical creatures and did not require food to survive, but lived off the power in the aeythers.

Closely resembling

LEGEND ref @ Tom Cruise fanpage
The unicorn of antiquity was regarded as the emblem of strength; and as the dragon was the guardian of wealth, so was the unicorn of chastity. His horn was a test of poison, and in virtue of this peculiarity the other beasts of the forest invested him with the office of water-‘conner,’ never daring to taste the contents of any pool or fountain until the unicorn had stirred the waters with his horn to ascertain if any wily serpent or dragon had deposited his venom therein.
Wyvern
The word Wyvern is an alteration of Middle English "wyvere" for viper, it is also from Old North French wivre, and a modification of Latin vipera. A mythical beast usually represented as a 2-legged winged creature similar to a dragon (much like a cockatrice but with the head of a dragon) and with wings and a barbed serpent tail. The Wyvern is symbolic of valour, strength, protection, warden-ship and dominion.
The wyvern is one of the symbols found in the language of heraldry and represented as a kind of flying serpent, the upper part resembling a dragon with two fore legs, and the lower part a snake or adder. Considered a sign of strength to those who bore the symbol the Wyvern is an ancient token associated with Mercia and the old kings of Wessex.
