The Limax was large magical creature with a wide, hammer-shaped head, four arms, and a serpent-like lower body. It was taller than a human, and was capable of using man-made weapons, presumably indicating that it was a sentient Being.[1]
This creature was covered in The Monster Book of Monsters.[1] It was thus part of the third-year Care of Magical Creatures curriculum at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]
