Beasts in Hogwarts Legacy covers all the fantastical creatures players will be able to find throughout the Wizarding World. Players can befriend many of these creatures and send them to their Vivarium, to tend and care for them. If done properly, some Beasts may yield Ingredients or Resources to be used for Crafting by the players. There are a total of 13 Beasts to be found and rescued in Hogwarts Legacy
This page is exclusive to the creatures you can take to your Vivarium. Please refer to the Flying Mounts page if you want to see how to acquire them for transportation.
Can Beasts have names?
Yes, you can rename your Beasts at the Vivarium. Note that this has no confirmed implication on the behavior or any other bonus to the renamed Magical Beast. It only serves as another customization layer for players to have an experience as unique and personal as possible while enjoying the Wizarding World in Hogwarts Legacy.
How do I rescue Beasts in Hogwarts Legacy?
In order to begin rescuing Beasts, players must first progress through the Main Quests up to the completion of The Elf, the Nab-Sack, and the Loom, a quest which grants them the use of the Nab-Sack as well as serving as a tutorial on Beast rescuing.
The Nab-Sack is a magically charmed bag that can vacuum up Beasts and store them until the player can return them to their Vivarium. Beasts can be found out in the wild at the various Beast Dens scattered throughout the Wizarding World. These dens can be identified by the claw icon 
on the Map and each den houses a specific type of Beast.
Some Beasts can be rescued with a simple conjuring of the Nab-Sack. However, some of the more elusive ones may require the use of Levioso or other such spells to temporarily immobilize the creatures.
Where do I find my Vivarium?
The Vivarium can be found in The Room of Requirement which itself is unlocked during The Room of Requirement (Quest). However, similar to rescuing Beasts, players must progress through the Main Quests to complete The Elf, the Nab-Sack, and the Loom in order to gain access to the Vivarium.

Hogwarts Legacy Beasts Care
Why is Beast Care important in Hogwarts Legacy?
Beast Care in Hogwarts Legacy is vital for Wizards and Witches because it provides rare magical materials. These Materials can then be used for Crafting to create different pieces of Gear or upgrades such as Traits.
Care of Magical Creatures
While strolling through the Vivarium, players will be able to find their rescued creatures and tend to them to make them happier. You can Brush, Feed and Play with your Beasts.
Brush:
- Players can select this option, that it is represented by a claw inside the heart icon. A magical brush will appear near the selected magical beast and will start brushing it. Once this is completed, the brush icon will change its color.
Feed:
- Players can select this option, represented by a knife and a fork. The player will release food from a conjured bowl to the creature, that will start eating it immediately. Once this is completed, the icon will also change its color.
- It is currently unknown if not being well-fed may affect Beasts in some way.
Play:
- Players can conjure up a Beast Toybox that allows to summon different kinds of toys for your beasts to play with. There is no icon displaying this action.
Shiny
Some beasts are "shiny" beasts, and have a different color scheme. Please add more info
