The two often competed for dominance during Teddy's attempts at freedom. Teddy recognised Newt's authority yet continued to run amok and steal from others. However, the duo soon developed a closer relationship as Newt trusted Teddy enough to set free for short periods of time in a foreign city, and in turn Teddy was able to procure Grindelwald's blood vial.

After all she had heard at the wedding party, mostly about what had happened in Berlin and in Bhutan (and in China before), she doubted her terrors would let her sleep, but she had to try anyway. Nifflers are very resourceful creatures in that they are capable of uncovering massive treasures solely because of how much they love shiny objects. Just like dogs are used in several police operations in the form of K9 for a wide variety of functions like bomb detection, smelling narcotics, etc. Nifflers could be of great help in several Muggle tasks that require specialized equipment to detect. Several risky expeditions that complicate and put human lives at risk would never ever be required if Nifflers were sent to recover these items instead. Tina just took a silver object, and gave it to Delia. No glove, no crate, just a fond smile. Delia was so happy she had found the woman of the picture. She was so nice ! She wanted to see her everyday, and to see her Mommy everyday too.

Nifflers were among the threats to the Statute of Secrecy that the International Confederation of Wizards had to deal with in the 2010s, as they manifested as Foundables. [13] Known Nifflers [ ] NifflerThere are many fantastic beasts in the wizarding world, but our favorite beast has to be the Niffler. When Teddy first appeared in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, we immediately fell in love with him. And we couldn’t help but squee when we saw the baby Nifflers for the first time. With three Fantastic Beasts films out now, there are many amazing Niffler moments. Here are just some of our favorites. Like most Nifflers, Teddy had tan skin, dark blue fur, a long snout, and partially-webbed paws. Some of the hair on his head was tinged with grey, perhaps a symbol of old age. He also had a small pouch on his belly that could fit much more than it seemed through use of natural magic similar to that of the Undetectable Extension Charm. Teddy was described as looking like a cross between a mole and a platypus. Nope Delia, you are really Delia, right ? Not this one, it's for my job.” Tina said, as she was taking the paper which had a letter corner on it. The Niffler moaned, kept listening to the witch and tilted her head. Tina caught a little box, with a lot of silvery objects. “Newt, your Mommy, won't be happy. He'll say I spoil you. It will be our little secret, right ? You want some ?” Tina was holding the little box towards her. Teddy was incredibly intelligent, and mischievous as well. He was able to recognise when he disobeyed Newt, yet continued to do it anyway. He also displayed recognition of the consequences of his actions, showing this when he shared an uneasy glance with Newt after the two crashed into the jewellery store's window. [3] Hmm.” She felt him nuzzle his head into her hair. “We should wake her though. It’s time for you to feed her and I need to go feed the creatures.”

Her target stopped, as she was lowering her wand after her spell. She rushed into it's direction, and discovered... a little Niffler who looked like one of Newt's, more precisely the one she had named. It couldn't be a coincidence ! There weren't Nifflers in the USA, they were British creatures, and she had left Newt less than 30 minutes ago. She made sure to hold on the creature right, and then cancelled her charm.

The case for Teddy

Was there ever any doubt? Of course the answer to ‘who is the cutest companion?’ is Teddy the Niffler. Of course it is. We fell in love with Teddy even before we knew his name, and upon learning his name, this only served to escalate our adoration for the little guy even further. Teddy was born sometime before December 1926 and was rescued by Newt Scamander, and consequently placed inside of his magically-expanded suitcase full of magical beasts. [3] In New York [ ]
