Barely Blood-Sucking Bugbear

The Blood-Sucking Bugbear was a magical creature apparently found in Scotland.
==History==
In 1992, following the killing of two of his roosters, Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid suspected that either a Blood-Sucking Bugbear or foxes from the Forbidden Forest were responsible, implying such creatures inhabited the forest. Harry Potter caught Hagrid while he was on his way to ask Albus Dumbledore for permission to place a charm around the coop in order to protect the chickens from further attacks. However, as it turned out, Ginny Weasley had killed the chickens while she was possessed by Tom Riddle's spirit as the crow of a rooster is deadly to Basilisks.
