Hogwarts Legacy delivers an enthralling action RPG experience featuring a vast open world with distinguishable geographical features. Despite being an important part of the game, the Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft occupies only a fraction of the enormous map, which houses fourteen main regions.

In addition to a wide variety of flora, the enticing world of Hogwarts Legacy is home to thirteen kinds of magical and impressive beasts who can be friendly and helpful companions. Most of these creatures can be found seeking shelter in dens spread across the Forbidden Forest and South Hogwarts regions.

If you are looking for a concise list of creatures available in Hogwarts Legacy and the process of capturing them, this article has that covered.

To capture beasts in Hogwarts Legacy, players must unlock the Nab-Sack first. You can unlock the Nab-Sack by completing the 24th main quest - The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom. It will also teach you how to capture a beast using the Nab-Sack.

To simplify capturing a notorious beast, players can use additional spells like Arresto Momentum, Levioso, and Glacius to restrict the beast. They can also approach an unsuspecting beast stealthily using the Disillusionment spell. Some of the aggressive ones must be defeated using spells before being rescued.

Take a look at the list of beasts that appear in Hogwarts Legacy:
