boggart description: Rasel
The Razel like the Spikira is a well-hidden Boggart. It will often blend into its environment with its thorny shell and go unnoticed. But if seen it run away in a zigzag direction before falling flat on its face & curling up into a thorny ball, if it feels trapped. It will also react in an odd way by running backward, as its main defense is its thorny back. This is very sharp so don’t tread or get hit by it.

Brownies: Other than the thorny frame it is actually quite kind natured and protective. If it feels a loved one is at threat, it will cling onto them whilst its strong thorny back will shield any possible threats.
