Seconded. Very seconded.
It feels like the sort of thing that a writer thinks of after a particularly vivid nightmare.

I was way more scared of the face eater thingies.
Read my stories!
Nope, the lethifold...just the thought of sleeping peacefully in your bed and suddenly this thing is all over you makes me never want to lay down again...
The Quintapeds? Yeah, those are disturbing.
Crazed Lawrencian
Lethifold: Agreed also. That thing was one of the most horrifying entries in there.
...And it was set right above the Lobolug. : P

Oh god, the leithfold. I had trouble sleeping after reading that entry. But then I was like, seven or eight.

The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again.

Less scary when you remember their other name, the Hairy Mac Boon.

YES THE FUCKING QUINTAPEDS I HATED THEM AAA
but now I want to see them for I am older and more masochistic.
Read my stories!
I wonder if they'll depict the failed attempts to determine the meaning of Beings instead of Beasts.
- "Beings are creatures that walk on two legs." Cue trolls, auguries, and pixies causing chaos in the Ministry chamber.
- "Beings are creatures that speak the human language." Cue trolls, acromantulas, and manticores causing chaos and eating everybody.

I forgot how much potential this movie has.
Or the story with the guy who pretended to be eaten by a lethifold....
Happy New Year!
That bit was brilliant.
The adventures of a wizard cryptozoologist in the 1920s sounds fun in a faux lovecraft sort of way.

You know what I want? Besided the lethifold? (Golly, I think that is always the demanded creature on every forum).
I want a fucking Nundu.
100 wizards vs. ONE Nundu
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
She/her
Oh sweet jesus, yes. GIVE ME A NUNDU.
You want the protagonist to survive the movie, right?
I want to see some more fantastic beasts from non-European places in general. Or the wizarding world in general outside of Europe, really.
But I'll settle for an entire army of Nundu.

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
The very concept of such a thing is more devastating than a Death Star.
"We're home, Chewie.""You want the protagonist to survive, right?"
Well, the book says that a Nundu has only been killed by at least 100 wizards. Why cant he be in that group?
Think about it: The Nundu are a species that live underground (like, a cave? I dunno), and one of them gets loose thanks to scamander, leading to and epic 100 vs 1 battle.
I mean, how the hell could have written that fact unless he was there?
so... FUCK YEAH A NUNDU!!! It's the most dangerous creature on earth! How can you miss such an oportunity??

The Other Steve
If they're going to make this a movie series, they might want to hold off on using a Nundu until the finale. Or just make the Nundu a recurring enemy.
The protagonist IS a Nundu.
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
And his love interest is a lethifold.
Hagrid brings them together.
Hagrid is the Big Bad
The lethifold entry terrified me when I read that book for the first time. It was one of the first actually scary things in the Harry Potter universe. (Though to be fair, I was only 11 at that point).
