A Maledictus is someone afflicted with a blood curse, in which they will gradually be confined to the body of an animal. Unlike an Animagus, who can transform back and forth from their animal form at will, a Maledictus carries this magic as an illness. A major example of a Maledictus is Nagini, who was originally a witch in 1920s wizarding America, but would ultimately turn into a snake.
