"MOKE
M.O.M. Classification: XX
     The Moke is a silver-green lizard reaching up to ten inches in length 
and is found throughout Britain and Ireland.  It has the ability to shrink at 
will and has consequently never been noticed by Muggles.
     Moke skin is highly prized among wizards for use as moneybags and 
purses, as the scaly material will contract at the approach of a stranger, 
just as its owner did; Moke-skin moneybags are therefore very difficult for 
thieves to locate."

I have been forced to read some passages from "The Hobbit" and due to being 
annoyed with my teacher, I never bothered to read more than required, so I am 
not sure if it is similar.  LOL
