Lethifold - XXXXX
M.O.M. Classification
(also known as Living Shroud)
The Lethifold is a mercifully rare creature found solely in tropical climates. It resembles a black cloak perhaps half an inch thick (thicker if it has recently killed and digested a victim) which glides along the ground at night. The earliest account we have of a Lethifold was written by the wizard Flavius Belby, who was fortunate enough to survive a Lethifold attack in 1782 while holidaying in Papua New Guinea (1782 Account of Flavius Belby vs. Lethifold). As Belby so dramatically reveals, the Patronus Charm is the only known spell to repel a Lethifold. Since it generally attacks the sleeping, though, its victims rarely have a chance to use any magic against it. Once its prey has been successfully suffocated, the Lethifold digests its food there and then in their bed. It then exits the house thicker and fatter than before, leaving no trace of itself or its victim behind.
