"It all depends on how you treat the Dragon I guess. If you treat it fairly and with compassion it won't turn into a Dark creature. But if you treat with it hate, than yes. So I guess, it just depends on the dragon and it's attitude." Ariana said, raising her hand, not quite sure. She didn't think any creatures were dark, it was just how you treated them.

Kerry raised her hand "I don't think it's a dark creature as it can't really be trained by anyone to do any dirty work, it's classified a 5, which means Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate. I would think a dark creature is one that is purposely trained to be dark and evil, but I could be wrong."

Torie raised her hand. "I don't think so, Professor considering that they don't meet all of the criteria for being a dark creature. Although they are magical in nature, they don't intentionally seek to harm humans. Often times it is humans that seek to harm them. As well, dragons have a complete life cycle. They are born, they live, and they die. They don't stick around simply for spite."

"No a dementor is ALWAYS dark because it always seeks to harm others. It doesn't act only to survive. It actually enjoys harming people." Kennedy replied.

Suzy raised her hand, "i dont think that a demontor is ever not dark. I mean yes they are controled, but they still can try to do dark things with out being provoked."

Kerry raised her hand, "But there are times that if a dementor doesn't sense evil or darkness, it will not bother with someone and will pass them over, so maybe in that sense it's not dark. I mean they sense the deepest darkest memories in people... since they are blind. They feed off these emotions. If they can't sense these emotions in people then they can't act upon it, right?" Kerry asked really confused.

Amber agreed with al of hem she knew the answer but didnt answer quite fast enough

Ariana wanted to answer, but bit her toungue hard to stop herself. She knew what the answer should be, but she had her own ideas. Instead, she sat back and wrote everything down.

"A Manticore. It may attack you but it will do it to eat you. It wants you as a food source to survive. It is a predator but not a dark creature."Kennedy answered.

"a hipogryff" Amber said

Ariana raised her hand, "Um, a Blast-ended Skrewt? They may be dangerous but if you know how to handle them, you'll find they are quite harmless, well sort of. But certainly not dark." she said.

Torie giggled. "A Pixie! They are merely pests!"

Kerry raised her hand, "the merpeople unless really provoked or finding themselves in dire need to defend themselves I would think are not dark."

Suzy raised her hand, "n erumpent is a dangerous creature. Its a rhino like creature that has fluid in its horn that explodes."

Torie raised her hand again. "As well, bowtruckles can be dangerous if they are provoked, but they only do it as a defence mechanism, not to purposely harm people."

"Some dark creatures include grindylows, red caps, hinkypunks, and kappas, banshees, dementors, and boggarts." KK answered

SUzy raised her hand, "Um would banshees be a dark creature?"

"Um, would Inferi be one?"Ariana asked, her hand raised. She honeslty didn't know since she wasn't really happy studying the dark creatures.

Kerry raised her hand, "would a werewolf count?"

"A baslisk." said Torie.

"During the time when the werewolf is in its human form, it is not a dark creature. However, when it does transform, its sole intent it to attack people with the intention of passing on the disease to others or to kill them, thereby making them dark during that time." KK suggested.
