Īpparently, Erumpents could hold their breath and swim underwater. įemale Erumpents could reach five times the size of a non-magical hippopotamus, though it was considered medium-sized in Magizoology. Īn Erumpent was one rare possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm. Įrumpent horns, tails, and Exploding Fluid were all widely used in potions, although they were listed as Class B Tradeable Materials. Erumpents only gave birth to one calf at a time. Įrumpent numbers were not large, because male Erumpents frequently blew themselves up during mating season. Instead, it liquefied like glowing bubbles before exploding and fell to the ground. When Newt Scamander's Erumpent injected its fluid into a tree on the night of 6 December 1926, it did not explode right away. As his Chocolate Frog Card depicts him in bandages, but very much alive, it can be assumed that he survived the attack and did not explode. There were rare occasions when the injected object or being did not explode, as in the case of Wilfred Elphick, the first wizard to have been gored by an Erumpent. The horn could pierce skin and metal, and the horn contained a deadly fluid that caused whatever was injected with it to explode. The Erumpent did not attack unless provoked, but the results were usually fatal. They were treated with great caution and respect by African wizards and witches. It was a powerful creature, with a thick hide capable of repelling most curses and charms, a single long horn, and a thick tail. It resembled a rhinoceros with a roundish body.
