Image of Arp 84, also known as NGC 5394 and NGC 5395, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).

In the original catalog, it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Large, high surface brightness companions. This interacting pair is sometimes called the "Heron Galaxy". The larger spiral, NGC 5395 forms the body of the heron and the smaller, two-armed NGC 5394 forms its neck, head, and beak.
