OK, this living, possibly magical creature does not have four legs, nor does it have more than four legs. It does not have fur or wings or feathers. It isn't Grawp (not related to Hagrid), it is never seen in the castle, but it is seen on the grounds of Hogwarts, although not as part of a class. Hmmmmm???
