I’m adamant: I making every Fantastic Beast into a Dungeons & Dragons creature. Even if the differences between what I make and what was already there are negligible…
Merfolk already exist in D&D. This isn’t the first time where D&D clashes with the Potterverse; they are both pulling from mythology after all. Yet, this might be the most minor alteration I’ve made to date. Whilst some monsters have differed slightly – altered powers, swapped body parts, etc. – the D&D ‘Merfolk’ and the FB ‘Merpeople’ have more than a lot in common.
Merpeople
The Fantastic Beasts Mer-kind have been portrayed as a more fish/shark like creature in the past. Less ‘half-human/half-fish’ and more ‘mostly-fish with some human bits’. The brief description also suggests a more tribal, animalistic lifestyle, which I’ve also tried to show in the main statistics and their skill proficiencies.
Other than that, it’s pretty similar to what came before. Nevertheless, they are all get the D&D treatment, and if you’re going for a truly authentic Harry Potter game in a D&D setting, this will help.

Hi! I just want to let you know that what you are doing is very appreciated! My DnD group and I love to incorporate our favourite fandoms into the campaigns, and we have been wondering whether someone made stats for the creatures from Fantastic Beasts and Potterverse. So thank you a lot, I will definitely use some of these!
Wonderful to hear!
