Letter shark - The top line of the medieval page often contains letters extended into the upper margin ("cadels"). Usually scribes simply added some upward decorative lines. But you can also turn the T into a shark of course, and give it a silly Napoleon hat.

Paris, Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, MS 98 (15th century).
