Creature (Harry Potter)

Creatures in the wizarding world were comprised of both magical and non-magical entities, which were split by the British Ministry of Magic into three classifications: Being, Beast, or Spirit. The current definition for these categories was laid down by Minister for Magic Grogan Stump in 1811.
==Ministry rating==
The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures classified magical creatures by perceived dangerousness on a scale from one (X) to five (XXXXX):
Classification	Description 	Examples
XXXXX 	Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate	Dragon, Acromantula, Werewolf
All known beasts, beings and spirits fell into these categories.
==Mythological creatures==
There were several creatures that the Lovegood family believed in the existence of, which might be mythological such as the Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Stories of these creatures had been known to appear in the Lovegoods' magazine, The Quibbler.
==Behind the scenes==
*Some beasts, such as ones documented by Newton Scamander: the Swooping Evil and Zouwu, have an unknown rating.
*Similarly, the rating for Non-beings such as the Dementor or Boggart, is unknown.
