MoM Educational films presents: Bowtruckles are no Chuckle
Hello. Is this thing on? Hello? Oh It’s recording now? Ok. MoM educational films presents: Bowtruckles are no Chuckle. Oh they said that already? Just start with my part? Ok.
Many young witches and wizards these days do not give proper heed to the complexities and dangers of wildlife. As such, the Ministry has started our educational film series to encourage students to understand the importance of caution when dealing with wildlife. Today’s topic: bowtruckles.
Bowtruckles, also known colloquially as tree guardians, are common in forests across England, Germany, and Scandinavia. Bowtruckles are not capable of magic, but they are attracted to trees imbued with magical properties. They live in these magical trees in small groups called tribes. Each tribe is dedicated to the protection of their tree. Generally bowtruckles are peaceful and do not attack unless they feel their tree is threatened.
When they feel threatened, Bowtruckles are anything but peaceful. Perhaps you may remember the case of Sabrina Whitfall and Audrey McCray, which made headlines in the Daily Prophet last summer. Whitfall and McCray were two young graduates, fresh out of Hogwarts. The pair were also recently engaged and decided to celebrate with a camping trip in the woods, a fateful camping trip which would turn into tragedy. They had the misfortune to come across a tree that was full of bowtruckles.
How did they not notice the tree was full of bowtruckles you might ask? Bowtruckles are masters of camouflage. They have two types: passive and defensive camouflage. Passively camouflaged bowtruckles tend to live higher up in the tree. They have a body covered in dark skin with a pattern similar to tree bark. They also have appendages attached to their arms, legs, and bodies that appear to be covered in leaves. Their fingers are long and thin with sharp tips. Defensively camouflaged bowtruckles live on or around the forest floor. They do not have leaf-like appendages, their skin is slightly lighter, and their fingertips are sharper. They are the first line of defense for the tree.
Typically the fingers are simply used for digging out woodlice from trees and other small bugs that live near the roots. In fact, Wandmakers often carry bags of woodlice to distract bowtruckles when harvesting branches for wandmaking. When provoked, these sharp fingers leave deep scratches, and in some cases have even gouged out eyes. Also, bowtruckle fingers may break off in an attack and become caught in the skin. They splinter roughly when being removed, but otherwise are not hazardous. The Bowtruckle is able to regrow fingers that have broken.
Unfortunately for Whitfall and McCray, their camping trip took a particularly nasty turn. Unaware that the tree was inhabited with bowtruckles, Whitfall had decided to carve their initials into the tree as a symbol of their eternal love. [...]
