Chapter 11
G1 (Vulture)
3 || Vulture
Magical Uses, Meanings, Pairings: Can simply signify that a person in the tomb is from Upper Egypt or can imply any number of enchanted scarabs are going to swarm and attempt to enter all of your orifices. We’re not sure why, either.

G23 (Lapwing)
n/a || Commoners
Magical Uses, Meanings, Pairings: Our best guess is that one of the traps present will, if not disarmed, judge your worthiness. Some people think their idea of “worthiness” is based on measuring blood status, magical resonance in the area, or based on your physical appearance according to what ancient Egyptians felt were desirable attributes.

G29 (Jabiru)
b3 || Soul
Magical Uses, Meanings, Pairings: The burial site may likely be inhabited by spirits including, but not limited to poltergeists, ghosts or Gghouls.
Anecdotes/Comments: The latter option has the potential to be pretty troublesome, as it’s a gamble what kind of Gghoul you get. Most often you run into Chameleon Ghouls, but if the tomb has been broken into or looted before, there is a small chance it’s a Djinn Ghoul, depending on its interactions with humans. So far, in all cases where a Djinn Ghoul was present, the tombs have had been closed up permanently after too many deaths and the subsequent Level 1 rating. Magizoologist Esther Allen recently started petitioning Gringotts to reopen them so she can lead a team of specialists in herself, but there’s been no indication so far if her request will be heeded.

G52 (Goose feeding)
n/a || Feed
Magical Uses, Meanings, Pairings: Something flesh eating is present.

G54 (Plucked Bird)
snḏ || Fear
Magical Uses, Meanings, Pairings: Can be a warning, but can also indicate the presence of some sort of fear-mist. It works similar to the Mirage Hex, if the Mirage Hex and a Boggart hopped on the good foot and did the bad thing.
