Monsters of DADA Volume 2
The Cornish Pixie
Yes a cornish pixie looks like a harmless little angel but when it is freely flying about they will destroy anything and everything. The pixies will shoot from all directions tipping over things and tearing up books. They will reck your clothes, tie your shoelaces together (pretty much everything). The pixies are an electic blue color and have very shrill voices. The cornish Pixie can be found in places that are very busy or a place like a park where they can easily cause commontion. To get the pixie to stop making a mess and to clean up the mess all you have to do is say one simple spell. The spell is to point your wand at a pixie and say, "Peskipiksi Pesternomi." Once this spell is said on one pixie, the mess this pixie made will be entirely cleaned up and the pixie will be frozen.
The Yama-Uba
The Yama-Uba is a female forest banshee. She has the appearance of a beautiful woman with long blond hair, but she can transform her hair into serpents, with which she uses to catch human prey. She draws her victims to her mouth, located on the top of her head.She then inhales their soul and feeds on it for 10 years. In order to banish her you must fool her serpents. Since, these serpents are descendants from the basilisk they are deadly afraid of roosters. These serpents are also attracted to glittering (gold) stars.
To defeat her shout, "Rooster Stardum" A rooster will appear and stars will shoot from every direction of your wand. The banshee will be confused, without her serpents she is powerless. You can then perform any charm you like to finish her off.
Redcaps
The Redcap is a malevolent goblin like creature. Redcaps were named after their "red caps" The Redcap has the red cap because he dips his hat in the blood of his human victims. They were stiff iron boots that give them the ability to run like the wind. It is almost impossible to catch one and hold it in captivity, and thus is the reason we don't know much about them. We do however know the following. Redcaps inhabit old castles and watchtowers mostly on the costs of England and Ireland. However, they move from place to place to avoid detection. Redcaps are very secretive and nobody knows why a redcap avoids detection but it does. Redcaps have sharp eagle's talons with which they kill and devour humans. The redcap simply hunts a human down and then tears them limb to limb. Short and stock, redcaps have white beards down to their knees. They look like small old men at first site but don't let their appearance fool you. A young wizard named Shorbumt Calistri once found a redcap and took it home with him, thinking it was an old man. The redcap had been asleep but when he woke up he was panicked. Shorbumt went into the room to see what was wrong but the redcap had started towards him. Shorbumt said of the first words that came to his head and the redcap had gone, but he wasn't dead. It was later discovered that Shorbumt had simply repelled the redcap. To repel them you must say these words very fast, "redcapus bellum evaporea levus heruth." The redcap will simply fly to the nearest country where he will reside until he can make his way back. Once this is done however, a redcap will remember you and if you ever meet this redcap again he will most definately kill you. To kill a redcap one must say these words,"Redcapus mortum divicium." The redcap will drop dead. However this spell is highly advanced and doesn't work unless you
pronounce the magic words correctly
dance around while saying the spell (as to distract the Redcap)
and finally you must have stolen his boots for the charm to work because he will run away before you have time to say the spell.
