At least six villages massacred and razed in the area. Reported to the authorities, word is, but everyone says there’s no trusting word of that here. The Ministry never makes it out here in a crisis, never mind the muggles. The story, as we’ve pieced it together, is this: some of the colonists are forcing the villages into labour on threat of death. For those who refuse, they set their creature loose on them.

Signs are clear. It’s a fully grown Nundu – so, more dangerous than any Erumpent or dragon. Especially in the wrong hands. I don’t know how they’re controlling it... who knows if they can control it. Probably suits them, to let it and its toxic breath indiscriminately loose on the natives. Does their job for them.
