Description

This is an Auguery from the Harry Potter universe. Me and :iconmaitia: have decided to make half the creatures each from the book "Fantastic beasts and where to find them" by J K Rowling. :) We want to make our own versions before the movie comes out. I can't wait to see it but it will probably take years ;)
So one down, 37 to go haha!

"The Auguery is a native of Britain and Ireland, though sometimes found elsewhere in northern Europe. A thin and mournful-looking bird, somewhat like a small and underfed vulture in apperance, the Augurey is greenish black. It is intensely shy, nests in bramble and thorn, eats large insects and fairies, flies only in heavy rain and otherwise remains hidden in its tear-shaped nest.

The Auguery has a distinctive low and throbbing cry, which was once believed to foretell death. Wizards avoided Augurey nests for fear of hearing that heart-rendering sound, and more than one wizard is believed to have suffered a heart attack on passing a thicket and hearing and unseen Augurey wail. Paitient research eventually revealed, however, that the Augurey merely sings at the approach of rain. The Augurey has since enjoyed a vouge as a home weather forcaster, though many find its almost continual moaning during the winter months difficult to bear. Augurey feathers are useless as quills because they repell ink."


You gotta love her imagination :)

I'm not familiar with the Harry Potter series so much, but I love this drawing. Great detail and color!
