Creature(?) in Rosettes page - Rafal - 07-04-2026

There is a lot of talk about "Voynich armadillo" but very little talk about supposed creature in Rosettes page:
   

It is in the top right circle, close to the castle.

It is absent for example here, in the discussion of Voynich animals:

I think the main dilemma here is if it is some creature at all or not. I included a poll for that.
But hey, it has head, eye, four legs and a tail.

How do you think, what could it be?

For me it looks very alienish. Of course some alien straight from sci-fi movie would be a bit anachronistic, although not as much as you could think.
But I asked AI to reimagine this picture as alien creature and that's what I got:

And speaking of "alien" stuff in medieval art, devils were often very alien-like  Wink

I hope you are joking. Smile

A little bit. Of course I am not into "Voynich was made by aliens" thing.

But this head has a bit of "grey alien" vibe  Wink

And if this shape is not a creature then what is it?  Some cloud formation?

Maybe but weird. Personally I interpret the scalloped things and others on the top and right side of the circle as a not-very-successful drawing of big waves crashing on a cliff or a shore (unclear).

Yes, real waves don't look like this, but everyone is not Kanagawa.

I believe the artist was trying to convey depth with a path and a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. nearby.

That is similar to my interpretation.

I strongly expect it's a spring/bath in a hillside... My money is on the Euganean Hills, Abano, Montegrotto, or Battaglia...

I am a "creature denier", however...

That's what I see, too.  It's the side of the road or path.  Clouds.  It's not a creature.  The Rosettes Page is not a map of a real place.  It's symbolic.  It's a diagram that represents different things but those things are connected.  I've already said what I think those different things are so I won't repeat myself.
