Beast classification
The three types of categories are
Beast
Being
Spirit
A beast is any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws
a spirit is a special classification that was created for ghosts when they felt it was an insult to classify them as beings.

XX: Harmless
XXX: Competent Wizards Should Cope
XXXX: Dangerous/Specialist Training Required

Imps
Imps are known tricksters. They tend to stick to marshy areas, where it is easy to lure a target astray.
Bowtruckle
Bowtruckles are short, measuring no taller than eight inches, and are classified as XX. They are incredibly difficult to spot, since they essentially are tree creatures and their natural protection and defense system is to blend in with the tree in which they live.
