The beast, which is a distant relative of the European goblin (which, some might remember, ran Gringotts in Diagon Alley), uses poisonous arrows to hunt. It’s best known for being fiercely independent, mischievous and not overly friendly to nonmagical creatures. The Pukwudgie is a short gray animal with comically large ears that is native to America.
