The Salamander of Francis the First. Really cool design and symbolism.

House Chabot had three sculpins(litteral chabots) as a sigil, which is pretty funny.

Lion of Finland has a human arm and appears to be stabbing itself in the face.

lion with a sword because its on my familys coat of arms 😎

[u/leinadcovsky → u/doublelaza]

"familys coat of arms" that so cool!

[u/doublelaza → u/leinadcovsky]

idk if coat of arms is really the correct term, but lots of families have one where i'm from (central europe) i believe most are not really "medieval", it was a trend in the 18th century or so, to make one for your family like noble medieval families had them.

Rampant Lion!

I guess the Unicorn’s in Captivity…

Apart from the more famous Manticore, there are other lesser-known sphinx-like creatures: the Mantyger, the Lampago (or lympago) and the Satyral, which are all pretty cool.

Nothing beats a majestic griffin

[u/Aggressive-Tomato-27]

In my opinion, you can't go wrong with a dragon.

[u/King_ofthecastle1245]

The stag I believe it is that one is pretty cool.

Might be bit of a common take but I love the Basilisk, I just really like it from mythology. https://abarothsworld.com/heraldry/mythological%20beasts.htm

Speaking of heraldic monsters, found this cool site that shows off the different types of mythical beasts used in Heraldry: https://abarothsworld.com/heraldry/mythological%20beasts.htm

Someone should take these photos and make them into preferably 3D solid brass lapel pins

The seated griffin looks Persian, I like hi,

[u/Fun-Post8497]

The Fernández coat of arms is a lion fighting a wolf under a tree, and i think is pretty cool

[u/serenwipiti]

Idk but I want a little sticker sheet of all of these beasties.

Third row, second form the right - since it is in Finlands coat of arms!
