What is zouwu?

The Zouwu is a magical creature from Chinese wizarding folklore. It resembles a large and powerful beast with a feline-like appearance, including tufted ears, sharp teeth, and a long, serpentine body. The Zouwu is known for its incredible speed, agility, and strength, making it a formidable creature to encounter.

Despite its ferocious appearance, the Zouwu is not inherently aggressive and is said to be a gentle and peaceful creature by nature. However, if threatened or provoked, it can become dangerous and unleash its full power.

The Zouwu is said to be adept at navigating various terrains, including land, water, and air, due to its ability to magically teleport itself over long distances. This makes it a highly elusive and mysterious creature that is difficult to track or capture.

In the world of Harry Potter, the Zouwu appears in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald," where it is depicted as a large and fearsome creature with a lion-like mane and vibrant, multicolored fur. It is shown to be capable of causing destruction and chaos, but ultimately proves to be a loyal and protective companion to Newt Scamander.
