boggart description: yeo al
An aggressive boggart; but unlike other aggressive breeds of boggart, the Yeo-al operates in groups and has been seen in high up cold climates, like hills and mountains. Their protective fluffy coat keeps them warm in these extreme temperatures. Unlike other boggarts the Yeo-al has the ability of fly well, being able to glide off the hill ridges, using the feathers under their arms to utilize the updraft and extend the distance when jumping off the hill or mountain peaks. The unusual beading in its horns tells other Yeo-als where it stands within the hierarchy of the group. Sometimes confused with barn owls, seeing one of these in a high location could be dangerous, as they will swoop to try and cause you to trip and fall.
Brownies: As they operate high up in a group you would need to plan well before you attempt to tame one. Although, as they live as a group, if you tame one Yeo-al the others will usually follow.
