Summary
There are numerousbeasts and creatures inHogwarts Legacy,which come in all shapes and sizes. Some of these creatures are friendly, where others are formidable foes. Indeed, the largest beasts and creatures inHogwarts Legacyusually become enemies to battle in some way, often giving players a unique set of challenges to face in combat.
While it’s tricky to know the exact proportions of all these creatures, it’s pretty straightforward to see which are the largest just by looking at them. There are also particular locations or quests where players can encounter these giant foes for those seeking a challenge. There are also some creatures that don’t make this list, such as the Giant Squid in the Black Lake, given players don’t ever really get to see much of it to ascertain its true size beyond its slippery tentacles.
8Thestrals, Hippogriffs, Unicorns, And Centaurs
Classic-Sized Magical Creatures Or Mounts
The smallest creatures on the list, but still comparably large compared to the player, these horse-sized magical beasts are a beautiful sight. Whether players are gracefully riding aHippogrifforThestralon land or soaring through the air, these are some of the largermagical beasts inHogwarts Legacythat aren’t enemies.Unicornsare also a similarly-sized creature that players can tame and collect for their Vivarium Biomes in the Room of the Requirement.
Centaurswould also fall into this category in terms of size, but they aren’t creatures that players can interact with beyond cut scenes - unless following them around the Forbidden Forest counts.
7Acromantula And Matriarch
Spiders Of Nightmarish Proportions
WhileHogwarts Legacyhas a handy Arachnophobia Mode to diminish the scare-factor of these eight-legged critters, the sheer size ofHogwarts Legacy’s spiders is enough to make anyone’s hair stand on end. Spiders inHogwarts Legacycome in all shapes and sizes, but theAcromantulaandMatriarchare the biggest varieties. Fortunately, these species aren’t as big as other magical creatures or beasts in the RPG. However, most arachnophobes would probably agree they are more than big enough.
Due to their size, Acromantulas in particular are also tougher to take down compared to other spiders and foes in the game, making them one ofHogwarts Legacy’s strongest beasts.
6Fastidio’s Monster
An Unusual But Intimidating Magical Creature
Fastidio’s Monsteris a rather unusual, magical-like creature that appears duringHogwarts Legacy’s “Minding Your Own Business” quest. Originally a PS5 exclusive, it’s now a quest that all players have access to as part of the game’s Summer 2024 update. Fastidio’s Monster is a creature that’s cobbled together using pieces of furniture, and looks almost, if perhaps not quite as large, as a Troll.
This makes Fastidio’s Monster one of the more unique-looking creatures in the game, albeit its attack style seems similar to a Troll, with it charging at players and launching various projectiles. However, upon defeat, it crumbles into a pile of rubble, turning it back into the original-sized objects it was made up of.
5Trolls
A Classic And Ferocious Creature
TrollsinHogwarts Legacyhave a few different forms, with some being armored and some looking more like a traditional, fantasy-esque Cave Troll. However, they all stand tall around the same sort of size, albeit, perhaps not quite as tall as the magical Pensieve Guardians. Trolls inHogwarts Legacyare also a common yet ferocious and powerful foe to contend with. While spells like Avada Kedavra can take them down pretty easily, players who prefer not to use the Dark Arts may need to find a combination of strong oroverpowered spells inHogwarts Legacyto defeat them.
Players can come across Trolls during variousHogwarts Legacyquests, and also find them in the wild in areas like Troll Lairs, where they become a source of resources, like Troll Bogeys, once defeated.
4Pensieve Guardian
A Tall And Formidable Foe
ThePensieve Guardianis perhaps one ofHogwarts Legacy’s hardest bossesto fight with its powerful orb-like attacks, and also one of the largest foes that players come across with its towering stature. While there are smaller variants of this magical-like creature, the Pensieve Guardian is a worthy foe at the end of some of Percival Rackam’s Trials that players must dodge and defend against.
In terms of size, the Pensieve Guardian appears to stand much taller than Trolls, but isn’t necessarily as heavily-built as a Graphorn, which is an altogether different type of beast by comparison.
3Graphorn
A Majestic And Powerful Magical Beast
Graphornsare undoubtedly the biggestmount inHogwarts Legacy. Not only are they tall, they are also powerful, stocky creatures that hit like a battering ram. Once players first encounter and tame a Graphorn known as Lord of the Shore in San Bakar’s Trial, they can then find and catch Graphorns from Graphorn Dens found in the wild. According to Wizarding World, Graphorns are also big enough for Trolls to ride them.
To catch a Graphorn, players will have to first fight and weaken it. There are also only a small number of Graphorns available, with only two more to find in the wild. However, players can breed Graphorns in the Room of Requirement if they wish to obtain an adorable baby Graphorn offspring. The latter is, of course, much smaller than the full-size version.
2Ranrok Dragon Boss And Hebridean Black Dragon
A Staple Large Creature From Magic And Fantasy
While Graphorns are often considered the biggest beasts inHogwarts Legacy, there is a creature that could be deemed much larger - a dragon. Of course, players first see a dragon during the opening cutscene, where its sheer size compared to other magical creatures in the game is apparent. Players also help save aHeribean Black Dragonduring the “Poppy’s Poached Egg” sidequest, which is one ofHogwart’s Legacy’s creatures that is not seen in the movies.
Players also have to physically fightRanrokin his large dragon form during “The Final Repository” main mission towards the end of the game. According to Wizarding World, it’s a huge and extremely dangerous species of dragon that can grow up to thirty feet long and has a XXXXX Ministry of Magic classification.
1Death
So Large It Dwarfs An Entire Town
While not strictly speaking aHogwarts Legacybeast or creature in the traditional sense,Deathcould be considered the largest type of other-worldly creature inHogwarts Legacy,given it towers over an entire strange and seemingly fictional town. It’s a foe that only appears during Niamh Fitzgerald’sTrial, one of Charles Rookwood’sKeeper Trials inHogwarts Legacy. This quest sees players enter The Deathly Hallows fable and hide from a giant hooded skeleton representative of Death. Players must also either avoid or fight the creatures that Death summons.
While defining what Death is in these moments is somewhat tricky, in terms of size, it’s undoubtedly the biggest foe that players come up against in the entire game.
