This list is the Approved and Accepted list of Creatures allowed for use at Mischief Managed.
The below creatures are organised by textbook rather than year/level of being able to care for each plant.
In classes you do not need to roll to identify a creature as the professor will have already identified it for you unless requested
Ingredients that can be found and “harvested” in the wild for the potions HUD will include a location hint in bold as to where you may be able to find it. Any information in italics is non-canon to pad MM canon out, and is subject to change
If your CoMC level is too low to identify a creature in the wild, someone else with a higher level can identify it for you (e.g. a professor or a friend) and then you can click the creature and roll to care to “harvest” it yourself. When identified the creature will light up.
