Jarvey and Knarl
The Jarvey (XXX)
The Jarvey resembles an overgrown ferret, and is commonly found in Britain, Ireland, and North America. The Jarvey is capable of Human speech, although true conversation with a Jarvey is impossible. The creature uses short, usually rude, statements and phrases in an almost constant stream.
Jarveys live below ground, and their diet consists of moles, voles, rats, and Gnomes. Jarvey are particulary good at hunting Gnomes, and are sometimes employed to degnome a garden, although their methods are usually brutal.
The Knarl (XXX)
The Knarl is a creature that greatly resembles a hedgehog. They are highly suspicious creatures and believe that any food left out for it is a lure for a trap. Knarls will usually go beserk if they see an attempt to poison them, causing damage to a garden. Muggle children have often been blamed for damage committed by a Knarl.
