The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is brightly lit, if not overly warm, but there is no professor in sight. Instead, there are stations established around the perimeter of the room. The sign posted on the chalkboard is quite visible:

Students:
Take as much time as you need to study the creatures I’ve placed around the room. Chat with your friends, take very good notes, draw and label sketches, and then you are dismissed to prepare your homework assignment.
For each creature, you must:
* Correctly identify the creature
* Describe the physical attributes of the creature and any characteristic behaviors
* Describe one magical way to handle the creature.
* Describe one non-magical way to handle the creature.
* Optional: Sketch and label one of the creatures for a bonus.
Points: This assignment is worth the full 20 class points.

Station 1
The water in the aquarium is murky and dark, in spite of the lighting in the room. You may be tempted to think it is simply an empty tank until a face like a demon monkey smashes against the glass. The strong scaled hands that pound futilely against the tank sides are webbed.
Station 2
A squat cage sits on another desk. The creature inside is fierce looking in spite of his gnomish little face, glaring at any onlookers with red eyes and occasionally beckoning toward the lock on the cage with its long fingernails.
Station 3
Another aquarium sits near the windows, although this one contains no water. Instead, it seems to hold a large, gray rock. Strange.
Station 4
The last station is simply a trunk placed on the floor. It rattles from time to time, but the heavily charmed lock will keep you from opening it. What could be inside?
