<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Ooo, early period AND pretty...<br>
<br>
According to a couple websites I looked at, the Lammasu (probably spelled
Iammasu in period?) was "A protective spirit known as a lamassu, it is
shown as a composite being with he head of a human, the body and ears of a
bull, and the wings of a bird. When viewed from the side, the creature appears
to be walking; when viewed from the front, to be standing still. Thus it is
actually represented with five, rather than four legs."<br>
<br>
So not a bull per se, but still bitchin'... :) They show up a lot
in Assyrian temple and palace decor. They also show up in the D&D
monster manual, so... hmm.<br>
<br>
Red Bull would be simple and straight-to-the-point, but would it not conflict
with current Baronial registered items? Wings would be nice to set it
apart, as would perhaps giving it a mer-tail to keep in theme with Kingdom
sea-going stuff...<br>
<br>
Just some thoughts. I could use a Red Bull right about now.<br>
