Welcome to Gaia! ::

First off, be sure to read the Guild Rules. You need to do so before you can make a character in the guild.

While you’re creating your Magical Creature be sure to read the Foreword on Profile Skeletons and make sure to use the correct form, depending on the type of creature you want to make.

Also, some magical creatures have canon characters you can choose from, as long as no one else is using them already.

Interested in being a student, a professor, or a Tabernae shop owner as well as a magical creature? Be a More-Than-Average character. For more information, you should read this.

Now that your profile is done, you need to wait for it to be approved, if you wait three days and it has yet to be approved, please contact the Magical Creatures Profiles Manager. You will know if your profile has been looked at depending on the title of the thread. Also be sure to contact Magical Creatures Profiles Manager with any questions you might have.

All possible magical creatures have been given a profile skeleton. You must use the right skeleton for the creature you're applying for. If you feel that the skeleton is lacking in an aspect and it needs something added or if you feel we should add a creature to the list, contact the Magical Creatures Manager.

For creatures that are not be allowed in the castle, they can be brought in as a demo by the professors. Professors, why not send a message to the creature's owner and ask them to have their creature displayed in your classrooms? This is also a commonsense privilege.

We are pretty strict about the way a profile skeleton looks. Try to make it pretty, if you can. It's not required, but it's nice to see smile . Make sure you follow all the instructions in the parenthesis while you're putting your skeleton together and include all the information we ask for (if you want to spruce it up, feel free). Remove the parenthesis and everything in between them when you're done, please.

The crew reserves the right to deny or accept anybody. Please make sure you follow the rules when applying.

Post the profile as your own thread in the Magical Creature Profiles subforum with your character's name as the title. The crew will try very hard to get you accepted within a day or two. If it's been three days and you still haven't been accepted, PM the Magical Creatures Manager the link and they will check it out.

Do not bump your thread.

A shape-shifting creature that takes on the form of the viewer's worst fear. Because of their shape-shifting ability, no one knows what a boggart looks like when it is alone, as it instantly changes when you first see it.

Boggart Rules

+ Found in places that are dark, such as in wardrobes, the gap beneath beds, and the cupboards under sinks and desks. On at least one occasion, a boggart was found hiding in a grandfather clock.
+ Must take form of the person's fear (whenever a person is facing a boggart at Hogwarts, they must mention their fear in at least one post during their encounter)
+ Can be found anywhere
+ Allowed to move from one dark spot to another as long as no one is around/takes notice
+ Not allowed to speak
+ Must be forced to change by the Riddikulus spell (if casted by the person it is facing)
+ After a few hits of the Riddikulus spell, must return to the safety of darkness

A ghost is the disembodied spirit of a once living wizard or witch. Many ghosts take up residence within Deliciae Castle. These fleshless spirits were either afraid of death or have some extraordinarily strong connection to the locations they haunt.

In their paranormal state, ghosts are unable to cause much physical influence. They are visible, and appear as a greyish-silver apparition of their former (living) selves. They may not touch or physically move objects, however in passing through an object, they may impart a sensation of icy coldness. Ghosts are either capable of, or pretend to be capable of, almost being able to taste rotten food.

Ghost Rules

+ Must stay on Deliciae grounds
+ Can speak to students
+ Must specify if it's a poltergeist or ghost; poltergeists are capable of harming characters and ghosts are usually passive
+ Poltergeists must not cause too much physical harm to characters and must always ask before doing so
+ Can float through walls
+ Cannot be destroyed
+ Are unable to move beyond the veil, and are forever trapped in the world of living as intangible beings
+ Ministry of Magic has some control over ghosts

Basic Information

A house-elf is a magical creature which is devoted and loyal to the one designated as their master. They serve wizards and witches, and must do everything that their masters command unless they are freed.

A veritable legion of house-elves are enlisted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They work the kitchens, preparing feasts for the entire school. They also move trunks and baggage to and from rooms, clean dormitories, and presumably other areas of the castle as well. In 1994, they became angry with Hermione Granger as she made attempts to free them. During the Battle of Hogwarts, the house-elves fought against the Death Eaters with Kreacher leading them. They defended their masters by using kitchen knives to stab at the attackers' ankles.

House-Elf Rules

+ They cook the food for the meals of the day
+ They must work and live in the kitchens underneath the DiningHall
+ They also move trunks and baggage to and from rooms, clean dormitories, and presumably other areas of the castle as well
+ House-elves have an average life-expectancy of 200 years, cannot be ordered to kill themselves, breed infrequently and only with their master's permission, can override wizard enchantments, and have an allegiance to their home rather than its inhabitants.
+ Can go anywhere in the Castle
+ Must consider all staff and students as masters

Merpeople are sentient beings (or beasts, as they want nothing to do with the likes of vampires and hags) that live underwater, and are found all over the world. Their customs and habits are mysterious, and, like the Centaurs, they refused Being status in favour of Beast. Merpeople can breathe above the waves for a time, but it is unclear if they can ever truly leave their habitat.

Merpeople society is based around organised communities, and they have a great love of music. Their language is known as Mermish, and only a few Wizards know how to speak it. However, since their language can only be heard properly underwater, it sounds like a loud screeching when spoken above water.

The term "Merpeople" is an umbrella term. There are several distinct sub-species around the world.

Merpeople Rules

+ Must stay in the Reflecting Pond
+ Can't pull people into the water
+ Can't speak above the water
+ Their singing can be heard if close enough to the surface
+ Can be attractive but, when angered, change appearance to be more like the Merpeople seen in the Harry Potter movies
+ Must have a love for singing
+ Allowed a Grindylow as a pet, if given permission by the roleplaying owner of the Grindylow
+ Capable of some human speech, under the water. Mostly speaks in Mermish, which only other Mermaids and some wizards/witches understand

Wood Nymphs are small and beautiful, but able to speak and to sing, and they are apparently happy to interact with wizards and indeed do as they are told. According to Fleur Delacour, they are used amongst the Christmas decorations at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, where they sing to the students.

Wood Nymphs Rules

+ Beautiful creatures
+ Must be in the Crystal Woods
+ Must like to sing
+ Encouraged to interact with wizards and witches
+ Happily do as they're told

The Doxy, sometimes referred to as the Biting Fairy, is a small Fairy-like creature, sometimes mistaken for a Fairy.

The Doxy is covered in coarse black hair, and has an additional set of arms and legs. Doxies have shiny beetle-like wings, and a double row of sharp venomous teeth. If bitten, a wizard or witch should take an antidote immediately. Doxies bury their eggs underground, and can lay up to five hundred at once. The eggs generally hatch in two to three weeks.

Doxies are considered pests. They can infest houses, taking up residence in the draperies.


+ Must be in the Crystal Woods
+ Will try to bite characters, with consent
+ Their speech can only be understood by other Doxies and Fae



Found only in Britain and Ireland, the Imp is a magical creature often confused with the Pixie. They are of similar height, between six to eight inches, but that is where the physical similarities end. The Imp cannot fly like the Pixie, nor is it as brightly coloured.

Imps make their home in marshland, where they indulge their slapstick sense of humour by pushing and tripping the unwary. The Imp's diet consists mainly of insects. Imp breeding habits are like the Pixie's, but their young hatch full formed.


+ Must be in the Crystal Woods, near a marshland
+ Cannot fly
+ Can trip other characters, with consent
+ Their speech can only be understood by other Imps and Fae



A Pixie is a small, bright blue mischief-maker, and loves tricks and practical jokes. It is able to fly, and enjoys lifting people up by their ears and depositing them on the tops of trees and buildings, showing incredible strength for creatures of their size. Their voices are described as "so shrill it was like listening to a lot of arguing budgies". They bear live young.


+ Must be in the Crystal Woods
+ Can do pranks on characters, with their permission first
+ Their speech can only be understood by other Pixies and Fae



A Sprite can be one of two types: a Water Sprite or a Wildflower Sprite. A Wildflower Sprite was presumably a type of sprite which had its natural habitat among wildflowers. A Water Sprite is a water monster that resides in large bodies of fresh water, such as lakes.


+ Must be in the Reflecting Pond
+ Must not pull witches and wizards into the water
+ Aggressive to witches and wizards
+ Their speech can only be understood to other underwater creatures, and is squeaky and incomprehensible above water


+ Must be found in the Crystal Woods and surrounding areas
+ Harmless to other characters
+ Like flowers
+ Their speech can only be understood by other Pixies and Fae
