11. Swooping Evil

Swooping Evil is basically Newt Scamander's Swiss Army Knife, protecting him in open battle, representing a sort of danger yo-yo when needed (because of course no magical police would remove dangerous creatures from the person of a criminal known to be carrying dangerous creatures), and providing a ready made McGuffin.

The creature doesn't have any real personality, it's not cute in any tangible sort of way, but it's a resilient, useful little figure and it does look the part. That name is a little iffy though - particularly as Newt gives all the rest of his creatures nice sanitising names.
