The Wyvern is a two-legged beast, which can assume different shapes depending on function. It is akin to a dragon but with smooth skin rather than scales. At first glance, it looks something like a Dodo, but with a long, feathered tail and short, stubby wings that seem incapable of flight. However, defying expectations—and gravity—the Wyvern can fly, initiating its takeoff by inflating like a blowfish and then floating up like a hot air balloon, with its small wings beating similar to a hummingbird’s. Its tail lengthens exponentially and possesses the tensile strength to carry objects many times the Wyvern’s weight, including a person. Once airborne, the Wyvern transforms again: deflating its body as its wingspan grows to resemble those of a pterodactyl…and off it flies. Delia could feel that the woman, Tina (?), was tensed, as she was reading. She recognized the smell of the paper, it smelled like home. And she realized why she knew her smell, Tina smelled like the paper Mommy read, sometimes. When she felt that her new friend (she was her friend, right ?) tensed, Delia tried to move a bit, asking for some petting, right behind her ears, or under her belly. These were he r favorite spots. When Tina relaxed, Delia tried to explore a bit. There was a big wooden desk, and the Niffler knew by experience that it was often interesting. That night, terrors spared Tina. She didn't have a lot of sleeping hours left, due to the wedding party, and her late reading, but she slept well. She slept well because a tiny little Niffler had opened her crate, and came nesting to her chest when she heard the Auror grumble durin g her sleep. Teddy kept growling until Tina reached a hand up and scratched the top of his head. “I’m sorry, Ted-Ted. But I have to feed Ellie. Once I’m done, you two can be joined at the hip, but for now I need you to go with your mommy here and help feed the other creatures.” Teddy purred and butted his head up against her once he realized the perceived threat was his favorite person. “Thank you by the way. For keeping her company last night. Maybe if you behave it can be a regular thing.”

Are you OK little one ? Did I hurt you ? You're not supposed to be there, you know ? I'd bet you're Delia, aren't you ?” Tina had to sleep, at least for a few hours. After all she had heard at the wedding party, mostly about what had happened in Berlin and in Bhutan (and in China before), she doubted her terrors would let her sleep, but she had to try anyway. The two often competed for dominance during Teddy's attempts at freedom. Teddy recognised Newt's authority yet continued to run amok and steal from others. However, the duo soon developed a closer relationship as Newt trusted Teddy enough to set free for short periods of time in a foreign city, and in turn Teddy was able to procure Grindelwald's blood vial. [3] [9] Newt's other beasts [ ]In December of 1926 during Newt's trip to New York, Teddy escaped to steal a beggar's coin. He then sneaked into the Steen National Bank and caused mass chaos as he attempted to secure valuables and treasure. He eventually found his way into the vaults, where he was captured by Newt. [3] As she was speaking, the Niffler calmed down on the instant, and rolled into a ball inside her hand, before sitting and looking at her, with big and round imploring eyes.

Teddy was incredibly intelligent, and mischievous as well. He was able to recognise when he disobeyed Newt, yet continued to do it anyway. He also displayed recognition of the consequences of his actions, showing this when he shared an uneasy glance with Newt after the two crashed into the jewellery store's window. [3] Alright.” Tina called as Newt heard a small cry from the room while shutting the door behind him. Newt smiled down at the niffler in his arms who looked over his shoulder at the door, sensing something was wrong with Ellie. Nifflers were among the threats to the Statute of Secrecy that the International Confederation of Wizards had to deal with in the 2010s, as they manifested as Foundables. [13] Known Nifflers [ ] Niffler C'mon, I promise, I won't tell if you have one.” Tina was smiling as she was reading, and petting the Niffler. “I give you one, alright ?” The terrifying Manticore is an enormous crustacean-like beast that resembles a cross between a giant lobster and a crab, with a hard, fuzzy shell and three eyes. It has multiple appendages: two with claws, others topped with hooks, and several more that act as its legs. But the claws on this humongous carnivorous creature can crush a man, while its powerful jaws, which look like a third claw, can strip the flesh from his bones and devour it in mere seconds. The Manticore feeds the remains to its hundreds of hungry offspring.At some point during Newt's visit to Hogwarts during the 1980s, Teddy was one of several of Newt's creatures that managed to escape his suitcase, allowing him to wander around the school. Teddy made his way to Albus Dumbledore's office, where he scattered several of Dumbledore's shiny possessions. Dumbledore asked Jacob's sibling to help clean up his office and to recapture Teddy, which they were able to successfully do. Teddy was eventually returned to Newt, much to his relief. [8] Physical description [ ] It had been this way for about 8 months. The little human, Ellie, would scream and cry all night. Newt and Tina had been unable to sleep if they didn’t hold her. Teddy heard his favorite human get upset about it. Delia was so happy ! She had met the woman in the picture ! The woman had spoken to her ! And she didn't put her in a crate or something ! Delia was on the wizard girl's shoulder, playing in her hair. Then, she went down o n her lap, and curled herself to rest.

Jacob's sibling kept one in the Magical Creatures Reserve, [10] and trained it with the help of Rubeus Hagrid. [11] Nifflers had a pouch on their bellies which held far more than at first seemed possible, like the effects of an Undetectable Extension Charm on a container.

Teddy was born sometime before December 1926 and was rescued by Newt Scamander, and consequently placed inside of his magically-expanded suitcase full of magical beasts. [3] In New York [ ] You are cute ! You are SO cute ! But I know your specie, and it's not a good idea to have you free here, y'a know ?” Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, Year 4, Chapter 6 ( Explore the Forbidden Forest) - Care of Magical Creatures Lesson "Niffler" Tina Goldstein missed Newt. She missed him deeply. She couldn't believe she had skipped her chance in Paris. He was there, and she had just managed to yell at him. She tried to convince herself she had her reasons. That was true in a way. But she had lost her only chance in one year to spend time with him, for real. And now, she was alone. She had lost Queenie, and Newt was on the other side of the Ocean. Jacob didn't want to talk to her anymore (not they had talked a lot since the events in the subway), and Lally was more than busy at Ilvermorny.
