Várias vezes ao longo do filme, vemos um besouro azul voando pela cidade chamado Billywig.
The Billywig is an insect native to Australia. It is around half an inch long and a vivid sapphire blue, although its speed is such that it is rarely noticed by Muggles and often not by wizards until they have been stung. The Billywig’s wings are attached to the top of its head and are rotated very fast so that it spins as it flies. At the bottom of the body is a long thin sting. Those who have been stung by a Billywig suffer giddiness followed by levitation. Generations of young Australian witches and wizards have attempted to catch Billywigs and provoke them into stinging in order to enjoy these side effects, though too many stings may cause the victim to hover uncontrollably for days on end, and where there is a severe allergic reaction, permanent floating may ensue. Dried Billywig stings are used in several potions and are believed to be a component in the popular sweet Fizzing Whizbees.

Esse carinha verde que segue Newt por aí é um Bowtruckle.
The Bowtruckle, which eats insects, is a peaceable and intensely shy creature but if the tree in which it lives is threatened, it has been known to leap down upon the woodcutter or tree-surgeon attempting to harm its home and gouge at their eyes with its long, sharp fingers. An offering of woodlice will placate the Bowtruckle long enough to let a witch or wizard remove wand-wood from its tree.

The Demiguise is found in the Far East, though only with great difficulty, for this beast is able to make itself invisible when threatened and can be seen only by wizards skilled in its capture.
The Demiguise is a peaceful herbivorous beast, something like a graceful ape in appearance, with large, black, doleful eyes more often than not hidden by its hair. The whole body is covered with long, fine, silky, silvery hair. Demiguise pelts are highly valued as the hair may be spun into Invisibility Cloaks.

O Diricawl [graças a Anu7 por me lembrar deste]
The Diricawl originated in Mauritius. A plump-bodied, fluffyfeathered, flightless bird, the Diricawl is remarkable for its method of escaping danger. It can vanish in a puff of feathers and reappear elsewhere (the phoenix shares this ability; see page 32). Interestingly, Muggles were once fully aware of the existence of the Diricawl, though they knew it by the name of “dodo.” Unaware that the Diricawl could vanish at will, Muggles believe they have hunted the species to extinction. As this seems to have raised Muggle awareness of the dangers of slaying their fellow creatures indiscriminately, the International Confederation of Wizards has never deemed it appropriate that the Muggles should be made aware of the continued existence of the Diricawl.

Uma das criaturas voadoras é a Doxyremanescente do duende
The Doxy is often mistaken for a fairy (see page 16) though it is a quite separate species. Like the fairy, it has a minute human form, though in the Doxy’s case this is covered in thick black hair and has an extra pair of arms and legs. The Doxy’s wings are thick, curved, and shiny, much like a beetle’s. Doxies are found throughout northern Europe and America, preferring cold climates.

Gigante Escaravelhos muitas vezes estão no fundo rolando bolas de esterco
Dazed, he swats them out of the way. Behind him a large dung beetle rolls a giant ball of dung.
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, SCENE 47, INT. Newt's Case, Animal Area (screenshot)
Escaravelhos existe no mundo real também, mas estes são mágicos, pelo menos em seu tamanho gigante.
A fera que se perde no Central Park é uma Erumpent.
The Erumpent is a large grey African beast of great power. Weighing up to a tonne, the Erumpent may be mistaken for a rhinoceros at a distance. It has a thick hide that repels most charms and curses, a large, sharp horn upon its nose and a long, rope- like tail. Erumpents give birth to only one calf at a time.

O colorido Fwooper faz uma aparição
A tiny bright pink bird, the Fwooper, flies past and comes to rest on a little perch, suspended from midair.
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, SCENE 47, INT. Newt's Case, Animal Area (screenshot)The Fwooper is an African bird with extremely vivid plumage; Fwoopers may be orange, pink, lime green, or yellow. The Fwooper has long been a provider of fancy quills and also lays brilliantly patterned eggs. Though at first enjoyable, Fwooper song will eventually drive the listener to insanity8 and the Fwooper is consequently sold with a Silencing Charm upon it, which will need monthly reinforcement. Fwooper owners require licences, as the creatures must be handled responsibly.

Entre as bolhas flutuantes, vemos o misterioso Glow Bugs
They swarm upward, mingling with Doxys, Glow Bugs, and Grindylows, which float through the air.
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, SCENE 47, INT. Newt's Case, Animal Area (screenshot)
As bestas gigantes que vemos dentro da mala cavernosa de Newt são Graphorns.
The Graphorn is found in mountainous European regions. Large and greyish purple with a humped back, the Graphorn has two very long, sharp horns, walks on large, four-thumbed feet, and has an extremely aggressive nature. Mountain trolls can occasionally be seen mounted on Graphorns, though the latter do not seem to take kindly to attempts to tame them and it is more common to see a troll covered in Graphorn scars. Powdered Graphorn horn is used in many potions, though it is immensely expensive owing to the difficulty in collecting it. Graphorn hide is even tougher than a dragon’s and repels most spells.

Nós vemos um Grindylow nadando em uma bolha flutuante
They swarm upward, mingling with Doxys, Glow Bugs, and Grindylows, which float through the air.
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, SCENE 47, INT. Newt's Case, Animal Area (screenshot)A horned, pale-green water demon, the Grindylow is found in lakes throughout Britain and Ireland. It feeds on small fish and is aggressive towards wizards and Muggles alike, though merpeople have been known to domesticate it. The Grindylow has very long fingers, which, though they exert a powerful grip, are easy to break.

Newt é visto dando mamadeira a uma criatura luminescente com tentáculos, que a casa dos efeitos visuais por trás da cena chamou de marmita[graças a Valorum para identificar este]
ANGLE ON NEWT, now cradling a luminescent creature with sprouting alien-like tendrils. He feeds the creature with a bottle, while carefully watching how Jacob handles the Mooncalves—he recognizes a kindred spirit.
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, SCENE 47, INT. Newt's Case, Animal Area (screenshot)
Esta criatura não tem nome ou referência no roteiro ou no livro original, mas foi identificada como uma marmita consultando o estúdio VFX que criou o efeito. Todo o crédito para esta identificação vai para Valorum, que forneceu a resposta para a pergunta aqui:
On the creatures side, Method handled the shot of Newt bottle-feeding a young marmite – a tentacled cross between a dust mite and squid with a transparent body. Production provided live action plates with the actor, and Method artists added the CG creature to the shot, digitally wrapping 10-foot long tentacles around Newt and creating an underwater feel.

As criaturas de olhos grandes que saltam animadamente para Jacob são as Mooncalves
The Mooncalf is an intensely shy creature that emerges from its burrow only at the full moon. Its body is smooth and pale grey, it has bulging round eyes on top of its head, and four spindly legs with enormous flat feet. Mooncalves perform complicated dances on their hind legs in isolated areas in the moonlight.These are believed to be a prelude to mating (and often leave intricate geometric patterns behind in wheat fields, to the great puzzlement of Muggles).
Watching Mooncalves dance by moonlight is a fascinating experience and often profitable, for if their silvery dung is collected before the sun rises and spread upon magical herb and flower beds, the plants will grow very fast and become extremely strong. Mooncalves are found worldwide.

O Murtlap é o porco-espinho careca, parecido com um rato, que atacou Jacob em seu apartamento.
The Murtlap is a ratlike creature found in coastal areas of Britain. It has a growth upon its back resembling a sea anemone. When pickled and eaten, these Murtlap growths promote resistance to curses and jinxes, though an overdose may cause unsightly purple ear hair. Murtlaps eat crustaceans and the feet of anyone foolish enough to step on them.

O primeiro bicho a quem somos apresentados é o Niffler.
The Niffler is a British beast. Fluffy, black and long-snouted, this burrowing creature has a predilection for anything glittery. Nifflers are often kept by goblins to burrow deep into the earth for treasure. Though the Niffler is gentle and even affectionate, it can be destructive to belongings and should never be kept in a house. Nifflers live in lairs up to twenty feet below the surface and produce six to eight young in a litter.

O Nundu, avistado entre as criaturas na posse de Newt, parece uma mistura entre um tigre e um baiacu.
The camera pans up to reveal another magnificent creature, the Nundu—looking almost exactly like a lion, it has a large mane that bursts forth when it roars. It stands proudly on a large rock, roaring at the moon. Newt scatters food at its feet and purposefully it moves on.
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, SCENE 47, INT. Newt's Case, Animal Area (screenshot)This east African beast is arguably the most dangerous in the world. A gigantic leopard that moves silently despite its size and whose breath causes disease virulent enough to eliminate entire villages, it has never yet been subdued by fewer than a hundred skilled wizards working together.

Observação: este é o Obscurus de dentro da mala
Observação: este Obscurial é Credence e não vem da mala de Newt
We push inward, toward a small oleaginous black mass suspended in midair—an Obscurus.
Jacob, intrigued, moves into the snowscape to get a closer look.The mass continues to swirl, emitting a disturbed, restless energy. Jacob reaches out to touch it.
...
JACOB
What the hell is this thing?NEWT
It's an Obscurus.

(sotto voce, to Tina)
Can someone please tell me what this Obscurial—Obscurius thing is? Please?TINA
(also sotto voce)
There hasn’t been one for centuries—NEWT
I met one in Sudan three months ago. There used to be more of them but they still exist. Before wizards went underground, when we were still being hunted by Muggles, young wizards and witches sometimes tried to suppress their magic to avoid persecution. Instead of learning to harness or to control their powers, they developed what was called an Obscurus.TINA
(off Jacob’s confusion)
It’s an unstable, uncontrollable Dark force that busts out and—and attacks . . . and then vanishes . . .
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, SCENE 61, INT. MACUSA Cell (screenshot)
Um Obscuro (plural Obscuri) é a criatura, um Obscurial é a pessoa que a hospeda (por exemplo, Credence é um Obscurial, a irmã de Dumbledore é provavelmente um Obscurial etc. a própria criatura, na bolha, é um Obscurus).
O Occamy é uma serpente que Newt encontra escondida na Macy's.
The Occamy is found in the Far East and India. A plumed, two-legged winged creature with a serpentine body, the Occamy may reach a length of fifteen feet. It feeds mainly on rats and birds, though has been known to carry off monkeys. The Occamy is aggressive to all who approach it, particularly in defence of its eggs, whose shells are made of the purest, softest silver.

Quando examina os ouvidos de um auror, Newt diz ao Swooping Evil para "DEIXE SEU CÉREBRO!"
A large, butterfly-like creature that emerges from a small object, possibly a cocoon.
Appearance: Blue and green winged beast

O enorme pássaro que Newt deixa voar livremente em Nova York é chamado de Thunderbird.
The Thunderbird is a magical American bird closely related to the phoenix
