I like the idea of the rain dragon.
As for pangolins... it's a possibility also and considering that most of the bestiaries (and plant-related compendiums that include elephants) include drawings of VERY inaccurate elephants because most temperate zoners had never seen one, we can expect that some of the less commonly known animals, like a pangolin, might be inaccurately drawn as well. Dogs are not uncommon, however. Most medieval illustrators could draw a reasonably recognizable dog.
