leucrocuta (also spelled ‘leucrocota’, ‘leucrocotta’, 'crocotta', and other variants). Sometimes confounded in bestiaries with the hyaena (whose spotted species has been given the zoological name Crocuta crocuta), , the true leucrocuta was believed to be the hybrid offspring of a male hyaena and a lioness, but exhibited various features not possessed by either of these creatures - such as its hoofed feet, and, instead of normal separate teeth, having only a single unbroken ridge of bone in each jaw, forming one long continuous tooth without any gum


head of a badger, the limbs of a stag, a lion’s neck, breast, and tail (as well as its bravery), a stature approaching that of a male ass coupled with the speed of a horse and the strength of a bull, plus an invulnerability to any weapon made of steel. Most bizarre of all, however, was its extraordinarily wide mouth, which allegedly stretched right back to its ears in a thoroughly unnerving grin!

Just like the manticore, the leucrocuta was a man-eater, but was much more cunning, luring its victims out of their houses at night by calling their names in a perfect imitation of a human voice. Indeed, and again like the manticore, the leucrocuta was often claimed to be a shape-shifter, able to adopt human form in order to increase the success of its voice’s ability to draw its victims within reach of its deadly jaws

nb claire perry yesterday followed me into the sports reviews ... 

she will now select a mythological being on which to base her next review of me in my bedroom ... 

the entity is not welcome to this material .... 

yes I know someone else thought of it too the point is that she obtained the thread from myself ... its very irritating to have someone shadowing you all the time like a geeky kid at school that has to have your same accessories .... 

you know she seems to be welded to me like a steel barnacle ... not only reviewing me in my bedroom which i find very abusive but using the narrative thread that i have started to do it ! 

not all journalists are as rude and intrusive as that ... 

the geek at school that wants to sit next to you all the time parroting your jokes
