Aristotle mentioned that some fish have the liver and the spleen inverted, but not which ones. However, in the preceding sentence he mentioned the eel (enchelys in Greek). This word was garbled in various ways in the Latin translations via Arabic. In a different place in the Scotus translation of Aristotle, someone added a marginal note (quoted in the French paper) where he repeated that anatomical information but misunderstood it as saying that the "kili" (i.e. the eel) is one of those fish. Cantimpré then put this into his encyclopedia, further turning the word into "kylion", but not realizing that this was the same as the eel, and not knowing anything about it except for that one thing about its anatomy. 
As for the "karabo", according to the French paper that Linda found it's the rock lobster.
So it seems the illustrators had no idea what these animals actually looked like, and simply made up marine monsters based on the tradition of depicting hybrid terrestrial/marine creatures. Which of course could also be true about the Voynich animal.
