The Poppy Sweeting of the goblin world, Garnuff fights for beast rights seeing their protection as an opportunity to advance the rights of his own kind. Identified in the art book leak on January 20, 2023.
Goblin
Faction: Goblin Rebelion
Long disgruntled at their role in life and their lower-class status within the wizarding world, Ranrok has rallied many of these creatures in an attempt to overthrow the current world order. They refer to themselves as "loyalists" to distinguish themselves from other goblins who refuse to join the cause.
The goblins who have joined the rebellion are using corruption magic to change their form--allowing them to engage in swift melee attacks from short distances away from their target. However, some of them have abused this magic and have become living corruptions.
Gringotts Guard
Faction: Miscellaneous Security
It is unclear whether or not the user will ever have to physically defeat Gringotts guards in battle. Their first appearance was during the gameplay reveal trailer flanking Ranrok when he catches Figgy and the main character within his vault. If the physical space within Gringotts is playable, it is possilbe the user may have to engage these more-than-capable foes.
Gwendolyn Zhou
Faction: Ashwinders, sub-boss
Nortorious thief and former member of the Ministry of Magic who left after feeling neglected. Identified in the art book leak on January 20, 2023.

Mannequins
Type: Humanoid
During a Playstation State of Play event in October 2022, it was confirmed that there is a timed-exclusive (until February 2024) side quest called the Haunted Hogsmeade quest. The main character meets troubled landlady Casandra Mason outside of her shop and encounters a series of mannequin enemies that appear to be controlled by an enemy boss named Fastidio. The mannequins attacked using haymaker punches and they appear to have some sort of short-range blink movement ability.

Mongrel

Pensieve Senturies
Faction: Ancient Magic
These guards robotically attack anyone who attempts to approach an ancient magic pensieve in order to protect it. They use several melee attacks, but can charge quite rapidly across the battlefield. They can also leap into the air for several seconds and land with a devastating AOE damage/stun combo.
Ranrok
Faction: Goblin Rebellion, Leader
An extremely capable combat goblin, Ranrok appears for all intents-and-purposes to be leading one of the historical goblin rebellions from the history of the Wizarding World. To achieve his ends, he has established an uneasy relationship with Victor Rookwood, leader of a local gang of thugs known as the Ashwinders who operate in the Hogsmeade/Hogwarts area. He is known to be extremely violent and desperate for power.
Spiders and Acromantula
Faction: Beast
While technically a beast, I'm filing it here. The original announce trailer released back in 2020 featured a single acromantula. Since then we have seen not only multiple examples of spiders in the game, but also "spider nests" usually surrounded by five or six enemies within the Forbidden Forest. They are always clustered together even in dungeons and they are susceptible to fire.
- Thornback Biting Spider
- Venomous Spider Matriarch
Stone Knights
Faction: Area Defenders
It is unknown at this time if stone knights simply respond to intrusion into their territory or if they are being controlled by one or more of the other enemy leaders, but regardless they have been shown to be agressive toward the main character.
Tempeste Thorne
Faction: Ashwinders, sub-boss
Member of the Poacher Pack. Identified in the art book leak on January 20, 2023.
Theophilus Harlow
Faction: Ashwinders, sub-boss
This is Victor Rookwood's "right hand man". He an Natsai Onai have some beef that goes way back. Identified in the art book leak on January 20, 2023. His first appearance in the game is standing next to Rookwood as the latter is speaking with Ranrok in the alley behind the Three Broomsticks. He then follows Rookwood to the Three Broomsticks to attempt and abduction. The snake on the back of his vest identifies him as a member of the Ashwinders.
Trolls
Faction: Unknown
Big. Angry. Covered in hideous carbuncles. Weapon of choice: large club for to smash. Occasionally they even wear armor. The following varieties of troll have been confirmed:
- Frost Trolls
- Mountain Trolls
Victor Rookwood
Faction: Ashwinders, Leader
It was confirmed in information contained within the art book found on January 11, 2023 that Victor Rookwood is head of a gang that operates in and around Hogsmeade. He has personally been at odds with Sirona Ryan, proprietress of a bar in Hogsmeade known as The Three Broomsticks over his attempted extortions. He appears to be something of a partner with Ranrok, leader of the goblin rebellion.
Victor Rookwood is the grandfather of death eater Augustus Rookwood, who would follow his own path of darkness during the time of Harry Potter.
Wolves
Faction: Beast
Despite the fact that wolves have been hunted to near extinction, sadly they are a recognized pest in the wizarding world. Their pelts are used in the making of a potion.
