Details:

As you know, Hargrid was fond of cross breeding creatures to make new ones. Some of them, Blast-Ended Skrewts, for example, weren't such a success. The challenge put to you is to design an illegal species by breeding two magical animals together. These can be from the Harry Potter universe or just general mythology. The medium for this is completely up to you; drawings, photo manipulation, or just a drabble describing the creatures.

Looks like any other Pygmy Puff but in actuality, the red pigment is the hint of Red Cap that it has been cross-bred with.

This incredibly dangerous animal was a result from Hagrid's efforts to cross a highly dangerous creature with a cute pet in order to make red caps seem less threatening. "Really, they are quite misunderstood..."

The Acrolisk is a fearsome creature to behold. Formed from an experiment which involved fetilising the egg of a basilisk with a cross of Acromantula and Basilisk.

It's body is long and thick, resembling that of the basilisk. It has many eyes and very sharp, poisonous fangs. It's head is very similar to that of a basilisk, but is covered in the sort of coarse hair that can be found on the Acromantula. It is a particularly violent and bloodthirsty creature, killing for sport as well as food. As with its Acromantula ancestors, it is capable of human speech.

Unlike it's Basilisk ancestor humans will not immediately die if they meet it's gaze, though they will be rendered unconscious. This makes the Acrolisk a fast and deadly foe.
