boggart description: Twigal
The best-camouflaged boggart, the Twigals are most commonly mistaken for being a bush, much to their annoyance. Sometimes they decorate their branches, hanging beads off them. Which will make a tingling sound when running. This can give away the location. However, as most Twigals hide well due to their effective camouflage and are protected by other boggarts in the group, they are rarely spotted. If Twigals are particularly scared they can bunch together with their backs outward, thus creating a small bush-like shield.
Brownies: Most Twigals are quite defensive and will use their body branches as a shield and hide well. If you do manage to find one, you will have to build up its trust over time.
