FANTASTIC BEASTS - Magical Creature - Demiguise

The Demiguise is a magical creature native to the Far East. It is very difficult to spot due to its ability to turn itself invisible when threatened. In Fantastic Beasts, Norbert Dragonneau scours New York in the hope of finding his missing Demiguise, making this endearing specimen one of the key figures in his magical menagerie.

Directly inspired by the film Fantastic Beasts (2016) written by J.K. Rowling, the Demiguise is a peaceful herbivore visually resembling an anthropomorphic monkey with large, melancholic eyes, covered in sumptuous, long silver-grey fur. Beyond its ability to become completely invisible, the Demiguise possesses the rare power of precognition, allowing it to predict the most likely immediate future, which makes its capture almost impossible for anyone acting impulsively. Its fur is particularly coveted by wizards, as its hairs serve as the raw material for weaving the famous invisibility cloaks.

This splendid piece from The Noble Collection immortalises the mischievous Demiguise named Dougal as he skips through the streets of New York. Seated wisely on a base modelled on department store furniture, his silky coat and the depth of his large black eyes rimmed with gold are painted with impressive attention to detail. The removable base of the display case features a period setting that lends a three-dimensional quality to the scene. An absolutely exceptional choice for collectors wishing to expand their magical collection alongside other fantastical creatures.
