Andes of Peru.   Because these animals are very easy-going and adapt in warmer and cooler regions due to their nice cosy fur, some of them have been shipped over to Europe to keep instead of sheepers. The Mamuffle is becoming very popular lately. Quite a few have been introduced  to Britain as well in the last 2 years.  Some farming wizards have started breeding them for their wool on farms to make fine fibre for robes that are extra soft.

Distinguishing features:  

The Mamuffle reaches the height of a large camel,  with a long neck and a small different coloured trunk. (pink = female, black = male). Their fur is short thick and woolly, grey in colour with big black spots all over its back and long neck. Its tail is short and fluffy.  Out in the wild, Mamuffle like to live together in large herds similar to our common sheepers. When pregnant, they always carry twins.

Nature:  

The Mamuffle has rather a friendly nature, its easy-going and calm, easily tamed and therefore of great use for domestication particulary for its special hair, that makes up the black spots in its fur. This hair is extra fine and of a different texture than the rest of the fur. 

Kids enjoy very much trying to mount them and ride on their backs. Though a Mamuffle may be puzzled about it, they would never throw anyone off. Still, Mamuffles are no substitute for Pegasus’, because they have no interest in moving fast, running or to be forced to move, unless when threatened, which might cause a stampede if anything at all. 

Special Magical features/use:

As mentioned already, it’s the black spots of their fur that is made up of very special fine silky soft fibre.  Special dress robes are made from them, turning out very pretty, and in moonlight the black thread of Mamuffle fur will twinkle like a star.

The yellowy slim they produce in three glands under their tail is often used as insect repellent, and sometimes, it wards off the dangerous Soporpugum (wasp-creature)

Young student wizards of peru used the slim to make something resembling a dung-bomb. They used Goomp-bladders and filled them with the slim by teasing a Mamuffle and holding containers in front of them to catch the substance, then filling them into the bladders and throwing them with great force near other students where they would burst and emnate a foul smell, sticking to them for days.

Knowing this, joke-items-manufacturers are using this slime now as an ingredient for our well-known dung-bombs.
