The original Fantastic Beasts by Newt Scamander had been safely locked in Hogwarts for centuries. But in 1927, a misprinted copy had fallen through a crack in reality and landed in a second-hand bookshop in Chandni Chowk. Over the years, it had been scanned, photocopied, and poorly translated by muggles who thought it was a fictional bestiary. Each bad scan, each OCR error, each clumsy Hindi translation had warped the original enchantments into something new — and terribly unstable.
Warning: Due to three layers of translation, all creatures described herein may manifest in hybrid forms. The Nundu may purr. The Graphorn may recite couplets. The Occamy may demand chai."
Rohan grinned. This was the chaos he lived for.
