A group of traffickers manage to catch Newt and decide that the best way to keep him contained is to strip him of his higher reasoning. After all, a wizard without their intelligent control over magic is barely a threat at all and someone as socially awkward as Newt must be practically submissive, right?

Unfortunately for them, Newt is Mummy to all sorts of terrifying creatures, including a Nundu, worked with dragons during the war and seems to rely pretty heavily on his reflexes for magic anyway.

Like most solitary predators, Newts first instinct is to avoid a fight if at all possible. If not possible, his next response is to tear the threat into tiny pieces.

Things do not go well for his captors.
