DESCRIPTION: "They're spirits of fire...great tall flaming creatures that gallop across the ground burning everything in front of... " (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling)

NOTES: Heliopaths are legendary creatures in the Harry Potter world. Luna Lovegood declares they exist while Hermione Granger says they do not, so they have a status similar to the sasquatch does in our world. Luna says Ministr Fudge has an army of these creatures at his disposal.

HISTORY: Rowling is having a lot of fun with these monsters, commenting on UFO sightings and Bigfoot encounters.
