    There's a total of 12 beasts you can breed. See below for details regarding the questline and where to capture the beasts:
    During the main story quest "The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom" you'll be introduced to the "Nab-Sack" for capturing beasts and a Vivarium to house them. Shortly after that Deek will give you a further two side quests “The Plight of the House-Elf” & “Foal of the Dead.” During the "Foal of the Dead" quest you'll obtain the breeding pen and conjure it into a Vivarium. Now that we have a pen placed, ensure you have a Male & Female beast of the same species in that Vivarium. Interact with the book in front of the breeding pen entrance to start the breeding process. The pair will take 30 minutes to produce an offspring.

    Notes:
    • If you visit a Beast Den that only has one sex of beast available to capture. Just return at a later time and hopefully it's been swapped out for the one you need (e.g. Graphorn & Unicorn).
    • Utilize the spell "Arresto Momentum" to stop the beast you wish to capture from running away. It makes it a lot easier to catch them with the Nab-Sack.
    • You can place up to 4x Breeding Pens in each Vivarium. So in theory, if you had enough Moonstone you could breed all 12 species at the same time.
    • The achievement tracking progresses when you place a beast inside the Breeding Pen. Achievement pops when you place in the 12th.

    Spartan Tom 551I read a fix on reddit for being stuck on 91%, the glitch seems to be centred around the Jobberknoll. Went and bred another one achievement immediately popped for me.

    To unlock this achievement you need to progress the main quest for a bit, until you have a side quest from Professor Weasley (and Deek) where you can purchase the breeding pen.

    Once you do this quest (where they teach you how to breed animals) you can start breeding your animals.

    A few notes:

    -Phoenix doesn't count for this achievement
    - To breed the Graphorn you need to go even further in the main quest, until you defeat one during a trial. After that, you can breed it
    - Unicorn and Graphorn have only one spot each in the game, Forbidden forest for the Unicorns and at the very bottom of the map in the Clagmar coast for the Graphorn (if you go there before defeating one in the main quest, the spot will be EMPTY, you need to beat it first in the main quest)
    -If you have a male or female only of a specific animal, wait a while and then re-visit the spot, a new one will be spawned, hopefully the one you need it.

    Happy hunting!
