Q
Quintaped 
XXXXX
A highly dangerous carnivore covered in thick reddish-brown hair, having
five clubfooted legs and a low-slung body. It has a particular taste for
humans (FB).
One of the most dangerous of magical beasts, the quintaped is found only on
the Isle of Drear off the north tip of Scotland.
There is a fascinating legend about the origin of quintapeds, which involves
a feud between two wizarding clans and a poorly thought-out magical attack.
The reader is urged to read the full account in a reputable source such
as Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them by Newt
Scamander. The Isle of Drear has been made Unplottable to
protect the unwary (FB).
In the Room of Requirement, Harry discovered a cage which had the skeleton of a five-legged creature in it. Harry didn't recognize it, but this was likely a Quintaped (HBP24).
"quintaped" translates from Latin as "five-footed"
