Adorable. Destructive. Pathologically drawn to anything that glitters. The Niffler is, in every sense that matters, a perfect creature.
Introduced in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them — both Newt Scamander's magizoology textbook and the 2016 film that brought it to life — the Niffler is a small, platypus-like beast with a pouch of apparently infinite capacity and an absolute inability to pass a shiny object without investigating it thoroughly and immediately. Banks, jewellery displays, dragon reserves and the inside pockets of any coat left unattended: nothing glittering is safe in the presence of a Niffler, and the creature is entirely unrepentant about this. It is simply what they do. It is what they have always done. The problem, if there is one, is yours.
Newt Scamander's Niffler — the one who escapes into a bank in the opening act of Fantastic Beasts and causes precisely the level of chaos you would expect — is one of the franchise's great comedic achievements: a creature rendered with such physical specificity and such transparent motivation that audiences loved it completely within approximately forty-five seconds of its first appearance. It wanted the shiny things. It got the shiny things. The consequences were someone else's concern. The fandom understood immediately.
Our Niffler collection brings together officially licensed figures, accessories, homeware and gifts celebrating the wizarding world's most magnificently mercenary creature — from Funko Pops and plush toys to mugs, keyrings and collector's pieces for fans of Fantastic Beasts and anyone who has ever been drawn to something glittering and felt, in that moment, entirely understood.
Keep your valuables close. The Niffler already knows where they are.
