Lampago
Mythical heraldic beast in the form of a "man-tiger or man-lion"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lampago or lympago[2] is a mythical heraldic beast in the form of a "man-tiger or man-lion" with the body of a tiger or lion and the head of a man.[1] It should be distinguished from similar mythical heraldic beasts the manticore and the satyral.[3]
The best-known usage of the lampago in heraldry is in the arms of the ancient Radford family of the manor of Radford in the parish of Plymstock in Devon: Sable, three lampagoes passant in pale coward argent.[1]
