Block 56
 |
| Erumpent - Level 4 |
10 x 20 inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance
Designed and Tested by Vanda Chittenden
The
Erumpent is a large grey African beast of great power. Weighing up to a tonne,
the Erumpent may be mistaken for a rhinoceros at a distance. It has a thick
hide that repels most charms and curses, a large, sharp horn upon its nose and
a long, rope-like tail. Erumpents give birth to only one calf at a time.
The Erumpent
will not attack unless sorely provoked, but should it charge, the results are usually catastrophic. The Erumpent’s horn can pierce everything from skin to
metal, and contains a deadly fluid which will cause whatever is injected with
it to explode. Erumpent numbers are not great, as males frequently explode
each other during the mating season. They are treated with great caution by
African wizards. Erumpent horns, tails, and the Exploding Fluid are all used in
potions, though classified as Class B Tradeable Materials (Dangerous and
Subject to Strict Control).

The imp
is found only in Britain and Ireland. It is sometimes confused with the pixie.
They are of similar height (between six and eight inches), though the imp
cannot fly as the pixie can, nor is it as vividly colored (the imp is usually
dark brown to black). It does, however, have a similar slapstick sense of humor. Its preferred terrain is damp and marshy, and it is often found near
river banks, where it will amuse itself by pushing and tripping the unwary.
Imps eat small insects and have breeding habits much like the fairies, though
imps do not spin cocoons; the young are hatched fully formed at around one inch
in length.
Block 58

| Swooping Evil - Level ?? |
10 x 10 inch Paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance
Designed and Tested by Vanda Chittenden
The Swooping Evil is a blue-and-green winged magical creature It looks like a cross between a reptile and an extremely large
butterfly. When it is not flying with its spiked wings, the Swooping
Evil shrinks into a green spiny cocoon. It can be quite dangerous, as it can feed on people's brains, but also demonstrated being able to deflect at least some spells by flying into their path. It secretes venom that, when properly diluted, can be used to erase bad memories.

This
East African beast is arguably the most dangerous in the world. A gigantic
leopard that moves silently despite its size and whose breath causes disease
virulent enough to eliminate entire villages, it has never yet been subdued by
fewer than a hundred skilled wizards working together.
Block 60
 |
| Chinese Fireball Dragon - Level 5 |
10 x 10 Inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance
Designed and Tested by Vanda Chittenden
(sometimes known as Liondragon)
The
only Oriental dragon has a particularly striking appearance. Scarlet and
smooth-scaled, it has a fringe of golden spikes around its snub-snouted face
and extremely protuberant eyes. The Fireball gained its name for the
mushroom-shaped flame that bursts from its nostrils when it is angered. It
weighs between two and four tonnes, the female being larger than the male. Eggs
are a vivid crimson speckled with gold, and the shells are much prized for use
in Chinese wizardry. The Fireball is aggressive but more
tolerant of its own species than most dragons, sometimes consenting to share
its territory with up to two others. The Fireball will feast on most mammals,
though it prefers pigs and humans.
Bonus Pattern
10 x 10 Inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

| Thunderbird - Level ?? |
10 x 10 Inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance
Designed and Tested by Vanda Chittenden
The Thunderbird is a large, avian creature native to the arid Arizona climate in the United States. It is closely related to the phoenix. An Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry house was named after this creature. It can create storms as it flies, and can sense danger. The famous American wand-maker Shikoba Wolfe used Thunderbird tail feather as a wand core in the early 20th century. After rescuing a Thunderbird from traffickers in Egypt, Newton Scamander named him Frank, and promised to return him to his natural habitat in Arizona.
