‘“You don’t use your eyes, any of you, do you?” she snapped. “Didn’t you see what it was standing on?” “The floor?” Harry suggested. “I wasn’t looking at its feet, I was too busy with its heads.”’

Spider Climb 

The spider can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Web Sense 

While in contact with a web, the spider knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.

Web Walker 

The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Actions

Bite 

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (ld8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

Web 

(Recharge 5-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature.

Hit: The target is restrained by webbing. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 12 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).

To snare its prey, a giant spider spins elaborate webs or shoots sticky strands of webbing from its abdomen.

Habitat 

Giant spiders are most commonly found underground, making their lairs on ceilings or in dark, web-filled crevices. Such lairs are often festooned with web cocoons holding past victims.

---

Monstrous eight-eyed, hairy spiders capable of Common human speech. Carthorse-sized and carnivorous, they have eight legs and sharp pincers. When excited or angry, they make a distinctive clicking sound and secrete poison. They fear Basilisks.[1]

Ashwinder

"Any wizard realizing that one or more Ashwinders are loose in the house must trace them immediately and locate the nest of eggs." —Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Incendiary serpent.[2]

Basilisk

Snake-like creature whose gaze will turn you to stone. Feared by Acromantulas.

Boggart

You have advantage over a Boggart if you can face it as a group[3]

---

Bogey

‘“If either of you get us caught, I'll never rest until I've learnt that Curse of the Bogies Quirrell told us about and used it on you.”’ Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling

Animated booger.

Bowtruckle

Tree guardian. These tiny creatures are made of wood and usually live in wand-trees. They have knobbly brown arms and legs, two twig-like fingers at the end of each hand and a flat bark-like face with beetle-brown eyes. Eats woodlice.

Cat

(Companion/Familiar)

Crup

D&D Equivalent 

Blink Dog

It strongly resembled a Jack Russell Terrier, except that a Crup had a forked tail. They were clearly wizard-bred dogs since they were extremely loyal to wizards, and ferocious toward Muggles. They eat almost anything. A group of Crups is known as a "pack".[4] Also they teleport at-will.

---

dogs that closely resemble Jack Russells, apart from the forked tail. The Crup’s devotion to wizards is only surpassed by its aggression towards non-magical people. 


Companion

Owl

Companion Owl Generator

Owls are enlisted to aid communication between wizards. Letters, parcels, and Howlers are all delivered by owls. Soft, hair-like edges on an owl's flight feathers reduce the noise of flight, coupled with their natural camouflage, making them ideal for delivering letters.[5]

s

Dementor

D&D Equivalent 

Specter

‘“It has nothing to do with weakness,” said Professor Lupin sharply, as though he had read Harry’s mind. “The Dementors affect you worse than the others because there are horrors in your past that the others don’t have.”’ Professor Lupin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, J.K. Rowling

---

‘The revelation that his batty old cat-obsessed neighbour knew what Dementors were was almost as big a shock to Harry as meeting two of them down the alleyway.’

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling

---

Fighting dementors is easier if you are happy and have brought chocolate with you.[6]

Rogue dementors may be a new and frequent threat, since the former Auror Kingsly Shackelbolt (now minister for magic) will them probably remove from Azkaban (where now many of Voldemort’s supporters are, again).[7]

They fear Patronuses.

---

Parseltongue is Draconic.

‘Dragons are extremely difficult to slay, owing to the ancient magic that imbues their thick hides, which none but the most powerful spells can penetrate . . .’ Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling

D&D Dragons are intelligent beings and modern-era Potterverse dragons are simple beasts. If you’re playing in the Hogwarts founders era, you’ve got a thousand years to settle the difference. My lore excuse is: the metallics will sacrifice their lives so that chromatics lose their intelligence, language, and powers. Some metallics survived to the modern era but they’re less… shiny.
