The Niffler is a British beast. Fluffy, black and long-snouted, this burrowing creature has a predilection for anything glittery. Nifflers are often kept by goblins to burrow deep into the earth for treasure. Though Nifflers are gentle and even affectionate, they can be big trouble makers. They can produce up to eight young in a litter. They are born in many colors including, black, white, brown, and a deep blue.
