It's a busy week here, so I'm going to let the monsters entertain you until I can get back to wordier posts. This is The Basilisk and the Weasel by Wenceslas Hollar, c.17th century.
Read more about the Basilisk, aka the Cockatrice, at The Medieval Bestiary.

What fun !
A STINKY monster, to boot...
[Can KILL with its odor ...hmmmmmm....]
A critter I can learn from ;-)
thanks, babe.
I thought you'd enjoy the lethal scent angle, Chaya. Maybe we should declare the Cockatrice our official mascot.
