Centaur Tail Hair- wands are excellent for the use of Divination and Astronomy. The cleverest of witches and wizards will often find a good pairing with these wands. These wands are not very fast to cast spells, but they perform quite powerful ones, much like the centaurs from whom they were taken. They do not like to fight, and are slow to do so, but when they do, they are excellent fighters, though they are stereotypically aloof, intelligent, wise, and more likely to watch things happen than to actually take action.

Demiguise Hair- wands were not thought to have enough power, but when it was discovered that more than one core could be used, they grew more favorable due to their strength in the subtle arts and Transfiguration. With only a demiguise hair core, these wands can only really be used for Transfiguration, and impede on any other type of magic, but with other cores they can be quite powerful wands. 

Doxy Hair/Wings- wands are highly talented with the Dark Arts- only behind those with Basilisk Skin- and are rather unmanageable and mean in spirit. These wands are most often found in pure-blood who cannot obtain a wand with a Basilisk Skin core. Much like the basilisk wands, wands with Doxy Hair/Wings are quite powerful, prestigious, unpredictable, and temperamental.

Erkling Fang- wands became common in Germany as part of an attempt to control the populations of the elf-like creatures. They are good for the Dark Arts, hexes, and jinxes.While they are not particularly powerful in any one area of magic, they make up for it with the speed at which they cast spells.

Erumpent Hide- wands are rare for a reason. The hides of these animals do not take well to high levels of magic, or sharp impacts. When added to a more gentle core (such as unicorn tail hair), they may add a little something to the spells cast. Most wand makers will blatantly refuse to work with this material, because of the dangers an Erumpent hide poses to both the maker of the wand, and the one who possesses such a wand.
