12) Aragog's domed web
Acromantula were grown to guard wizard dwellings or treasure. Tom Riddle
could have commanded snakes to follow Aragog and they could have placed a
Horcrux in his web.

13) Griffin Den
griffins are often employed by wizards to guard treasure.
Though griffins are fierce, a handful of skilled wizards have been known to
befriend one. Griffins feed on raw meat.
