I got the impression that the Skrews were somthing
Hagrid bred himself. He isn't sure what they eat,
whether they hibernate, what they're for, even which
are the males and females... They're either a product
of Hagrid's tinkering or someone else's (aren't they a
cross between a fire crab and a manticore)? Anyway,
they seem like something new in GoF, so Newt Scamander
must never have gotten a chance to include them in his
book. Perhaps they'll make the revised edition.
