  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

  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 
  
  
  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...

  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.
