Number of skrewts in the maze[]
Hi, Are you sure for the third task ? I think there's probably 2 skrewts in the maze, not only one. In HP4 chapter 26, it's mentionned that there's 2 skrewts left. In HP4 chapter 31, Cedric Diggory says to Harry "Hagrid’s Blast-Ended Skrewts!” after he has met this creature. There's a plural. Harry only see one, mais no sure that there is only one, no ?

- Maybe, although Hagrid later jokingly asks Harry, Ron, and Hermione if they want to visit the last Skrewt with him. - Nick O'Demus 16:20, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm agree with that. Timeline : "Moment where there's 2 skrewts" - Later "Third task" with Diggory saying that he saw SkrewtS - Later "Moment where there's 1 skrewt". I put in the french wiki that the maze contained 1 or 2, here it's categoric in your article, it's just what I want to say. Maybe 1, maybe 2, maybe one skrewt killed by Diggory, maybe one skrewt killed by another in the maze, there's a lot of suppositions possible but we should consider the plural in the citation. --Famini71 16:34, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

How do we now that they are cross-breeds between manticores and fire-crabs? Rita Skeeta says tht they are, but she is known to embelish and fabricate - so any information garnered from her is suspect . Possibly, all references to these creatures' hybrid status, and possible parents, should be altered to state that these things are suspected.Corvyn11 (talk) 17:53, June 3, 2019 (UTC)Corvyn11
- Pottermore provides the same definition
- https://www.pottermore.com/explore-the-story/blast-ended-skrewts
- "A dangerous (and illegal) cross between a Fire Crab and a Manticore"

- Not as waste of time at all as it highlighted that the article needed more and better references to support its content. Thanks --Ironyak1 (talk) 19:58, June 3, 2019 (UTC)

When was a Skrewt seen attacking Theseus? Do we even know if Skrewts were bred before Hagrid did it? If it is unconfirmed, it should be moved to the BTS section. Rodolphus (talk) 16:58, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- It hasn't been confirmed that these beasts existed before the events of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in which they're presented as a creation of Hagrid alone. It looks like this information was posted on the basis of a trailer in which potentially a creature that looks like a Skrewt appears, but we can't ascertain what that creature is from a mere glimpse, so this information should be kept out of this article for the time being. It could be a whole new species for all we know. From what I've seen from its brief trailer, a fiery creature does appear, but what it is isn't clear. RedWizard98 (talk) 17:21, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
