I remember a popular old art piece called “Unusual Patronuses” or something like that, and one of the patronuses in question was a mantis shrimp. No joke, though, I would be fucking thrilled to have a mantis shrimp as my patronus. Can you imagine having a magic shrimp punch your enemies into sumbission? No one would wanna fuck with you.

A normal-sized mantis shrimp. You’re facing off against a dementor and this little six-inch-long streak of blue comes shooting out of your wand and punches the fuck out of it.
