Tertullian 2nd century says: In terms of its negative meaning, hellish fish like Leviathan also exist, because, as with almost all the symbols of Christ, the fish was adopted by Christian symbolism to represent the devil, both in literature and in art. The Book of Job, which gives the name Leviathan to the monstrous king of the sea, was the inspiration for fish-like images of evil, with a head more or less like a dolphin spewing fire out of its mouth and devouring the damned. bwstiario
Hybrids or animal monsters are very peculiar figures both in terms of form and type. Remember that wings are an element linked to the devil as they suggest the mfdieval of fallen angel. From the 9th to the 13th century, the devil was portrayed with feathered wings like those of angels, but darker and shorter.
They also have other features such as goatee beard, claws, protuberances and marked throats like the hybrids. Generally speaking they are simply carved gargoyles but full of detail like eyes, fur, moustaches, mouths, etc.
