M.O.M Rating: XXXXX
Legend states that the Quintaped came about as the result of a feud between two wizarding families on the Isle of Drear, Scotland. The McClivert clan are said to have transfigured the whole of the MacBoon clan into hideous beasts in a revenge attack, after their chief, Dugald, was killed in a drunken duel with Quintius MacBoon. It is unclear whether this is true or not, but the Quintaped is sometimes known as the Hairy MacBoon, and nobody can get near enough to one without being killed to attempt to untransfigure it. The Quintaped is large, hairy and looks like a five-legged spider. It is extremely aggressive and has a particular taste for human flesh, as the McCliverts found to their cost (if the legend is true). Having killed all the McCliverts, the Quintapeds had the island all to themselves, and have retained it ever since. The island has since been made Unplottable to ensure that as few people as possible stumble upon it (and inevitably meet their doom)
