Merger proposal

[edit]

Callitrix, cericopithicus, and satyrus (ape) all seem to refer to the same legendary creature and should be merged.

Cynocephalus

[edit]

Are you sure this thing was also called a cynocephalus? Cynocephaly seems to refer to someone with the head of a dog, so they seem to me to be different creatures. I see the one source we have so far lists "cynocephalus" as an alternate name, but it also lists "sphinx", which seems clearly wrong. I'm going to remove the name, but please feel free to add it back if anyone feels differently or finds another source for it.

A cynocephalus. From the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493).
