boggart description: Tisom
Despite being one of the smallest boggarts it has a deadly ability in its coils of spiked skin to wrap around an intruder with a sharp grip. These strips of spikes grow naturally out of a Tisom’s skin. In an attack, even if the victim escapes, the spikes embed in the skin or clothing, thus allowing the Tisom to be able to track down their target. Tisoms travel in groups of two, in a patterned path; they are not territorial but will react to a threat.
Brownies: Tisoms are difficult to catch, as you are more likely to end up with a handful of spikes. Use careful movements around Tisoms and if you work around the pair I am sure you can gain their trust.
