I like that goat-icorn.
Keepsake@medieval_illuminations I'm loving the dragon in the background.
Twotired@keepsake @medieval_illuminations And foreground…
@Twotired @medieval_illuminations yes. The one in the foreground is noticeable for his dramatic firebreathing, but I rather liked the one in the background 😊
VluciamonteiropJust like in the bible.

Fardels BearAnthropophagi! Good to see where Shakespeare got the idea from.
And of the Cannibals that each other eat,
The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads
Do grow beneath their shoulders.
Bodhipaksa@riggbeck @medieval_illuminations Wasn’t all that stuff in Herodotus?
@bodhipaksa @medieval_illuminations
Probably. I only know them from Shakespeare. Cryptozoology is eternally fascinating. I always preferred the strange creatures on The X-Files to the boring aliens. Eugene Tooms is my all-time favourite, slithering through drainpipes and making nests of paper in the walls.
Virginicus@medieval_illuminations Seems legit.
Andy Hunt@bodhipaksa @medieval_illuminations I follow this one. Some of the pictures are quite surreal. The medieval mins must have in an interesting and scary place
