Newt Scamareder was born in the year 985 C.R. His love of animals kept him out of the house often, much to the dismay of his mother, as he tended to attract dirt into the house. Upon graduating Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns, he decided to become an Equizoologist, or someone who studies Equestrian Creatures. He traveled all over Equestria, The Crystal Empire, Yakyakistan, Griffonstone, and beyond, documenting every beast he could at the request of Princess Celestia, who asked him to write this book, now in it's 6th edition. He now lives in Ponyville, as the small town tends to attract a lot of beasts.
Forward by Princess Twilight Sparkle
First off, I’d like to thank Mr. Scamareder for asking me to write a forward in his latest edition of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (Equestrian Edition). He actually taught Equizoology at Celestia’s School For Gifted Unicorns. He was my favorite teacher and is now a good friend of mine. He even let’s me help take care of all the magical creatures he has in his magic suitcase. This book was (and still is) the textbook used for Equizoology, the class he used to teach. HE invited me to come help him one time and I decided to bring Fluttershy along. Let’s just say those two have a lot in common and Fluttershy is a frequent visitor of his. I think it helps that they both can understand the creatures and actually have someone else to talk to. And this book is just used at Celestia’s school. It’s used by Equizoologists everywhere, and is also a common household item, at least in Ponyville. So, on behalf of myself, Mr. Scamareder, and Fluttershy, enjoy this book and be sure to love and use it well.
