Grindelwald attempts dark magic to enchant a deceased Qilin he's killed in order to be elected as the new head of the International Confederation of Wizards but is thwarted by Fantastic Beasts' magizoologist Newt Scamander and the rest of Dumbledore's army. Secrets of Dumbledore starts its story by establishing the importance of a new beast, The Qilin, a magic creature resembling a deer that elects whoever is purest of heart to be the wizarding world's official Supreme Mugwump.
