Terrifying
I heard once that they supposedly have to speak with their hands. Sounds horrific.
I'VE SEEN ONE ONCE, IT WAS TERRIFYING! IT WAS ALL "bibedi bobedi" AND WANTED ME TO EAT PIZZA!
Just wear pineapple around your neck, you'll be fine.
Unless the specific cryptid is attractive. Which they are. Then you will be the one chasing them around begging then to make you pizza. Its a weird power they have.
Dragons, basilisks, unicorns, fire breathing salamanders were part of the average folk beliefs in the European middle ages and Renaissance. For example, in the gorgeous Lady and the Unicorn tapisseries from ~1500 you can see in Paris.
Where salamander
Symbol of Francis I of France, visible in his castle in Blois.
Very cool.
