Throughout the entire Harry Potter saga, a lot evolves. Characters come and go, relationships shift, the stakes rise, and the scenery becomes ever more varied. However, there are certain elements that weave throughout the series, binding it together despite its many transformations. One of these constants is Harry Potter’s fascination with magical creatures, a theme that Hogwarts Legacy deeply embraces.
In Hogwarts Legacy, magical beasts take center stage in much of the side content. From the fearsome Acromantula to the delightful Puffskein, and the dependable Hippogriff and Thestral mounts, the game offers a menagerie of magical creatures. Should there be a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, many fans are hopeful that even more mythical beasts will join the lineup, including some long-awaited by the fandom.

### Magical Beasts That Should Be Included in Hogwarts Legacy 2:
#### More Dragons
Dragons have always been a staple of the Harry Potter world, a tradition that continues in Hogwarts Legacy. Poppy Sweeting’s companion quest even sees players shutting down a dragon-fighting ring, offering brief but exhilarating encounters with these majestic creatures. It would be incredible if Hogwarts Legacy 2 expanded on this, providing even more thrilling dragon interactions.
Imagine starting the sequel with a quest revolving around stolen dragon eggs from a traveling merchant. As the story unfolds, these eggs could hatch into different types of dragons, such as the ferocious Hungarian Horntail or the flamboyant Chinese Fireball, each presenting its own unique gameplay challenges—from stealth missions to epic duels.
#### The Basilisk
When Hogwarts Legacy was first released, rumors swirled about a Basilisk lurking through the castle’s corridors. While these rumors were unfounded, a sequel provides the perfect opportunity to fulfill this mysterious promise. A Basilisk encounter would certainly add an intense and chilling layer to the game.
#### Demiguise
Though only referenced in collectible statues in the first game, the Demiguise—a small primate-like creature capable of invisibility and future vision—would be a fascinating addition to the sequel. With the ability to foresee events, a Demiguise could enrich both narrative and gameplay, much like Ghost of Tsushima’s Golden Songbird, by leading players to hidden locations.
#### Erkling
Among the dangers of the Wizarding World, few compare to the terrifying Erkling. Inspired by European folklore, this elf-like creature lures the unwary with its eerie sounds before delivering them to a grim fate. Introducing Erklings could inject a touch of darker, Witcher-like horror into Hogwarts Legacy 2.
#### Grindylow
A squid-like demon native to the waters of England, Scotland, and Ireland, the Grindylow would make an excellent adversary if Hogwarts Legacy 2 dares to explore under the lakes and rivers around Hogwarts.
