Calygreyhound rampant guardant (Period)

This monster has a cat’s face, a tufted body and tail, eagle’s forelegs, and frond-like horns.  It is period, dating from the mid-15th Century, as a badge of the de Veres, Earls of Oxford [Dennys 153].

The calygreyhound does not appear to have a default posture; the illustration shows a calygreyhound rampant guardant.
