    I’m going to buck the trend here and go with a goat. LOL

      I don’t think anyone said a goat. Griffin or lion seem to be the popular answers for this one.

    I am on team Dragon but if it is Welsh, a Y Ddraig Goch which bears no similarity at all. Then a Griffin with a body, tail and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle’s talons as the front feet so wipe that thought. Although with the heraldic shield, griffins were known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions.
    I believe it is the work a jokester stone mason who is having a laugh or had no idea what the hell they were carving 😂

      Thanks for sharing all of that. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a mixture of creatures; one that nobody really knows what it is.

  4. Mac's Opinion avatar

    I’ve been busy with creatures like that these past few weeks. Haven’t posted at all. I finally managed to finish a post I’ve been working on since last week.

    But in all honesty, that looks like my dog Katie with a B*tch face, LOL!~

    1. Hugh W. Roberts avatar

      A dog has been mentioned a few times. I’m loving all the different answers to the question I asked.

    To me this looks almost like a bear mixed with an owl.

    1. Hugh W. Roberts avatar

      That’s the first time an owl has been mentioned, Wayne. But glad you could see it. I do see the bear.

      1. wrookieschu avatar

        Haha maybe it’s just me.

      the legendary Dungeon and Dragon owlbear

      1. Hugh W. Roberts avatar

        Several people have seen an owl and a bear in that creature. They’re popular choices.

    1. Hugh W. Roberts avatar

      Do you think so? I’m not sure, but it may have some lion features in it.

      1. JT Twissel avatar

        Just my first thought!

    A dog standing on hind legs to get something from its’ human?

    1. Hugh W. Roberts avatar

      That’s a different take from all the others. I did think it was a dog at first, but once I got up close to take the picture, I changed my mind.
