CHALLENGE: Hybrid of FourLast week we were doing beasty tetris pieces, which are made of four squares. We will continue it with beasts made of four pieces.
Draw a sprite or a scene with a fictional or mythical creature, which is a hybrid made of four different animals.
Rules:
1) You can use only parts of real animals from planet Earth, which are not human made artificial hybrids. Existing or extinct. Any fantastic beasts, especially those that are already hybrids, are forbidden to be used as parts of your 4-piece hybrid.
2) Humans are animals too, so human heads, torsos, legs, etc. may be used as part of your hybrid.
3) Each animal species may be used only once. Being too specific (for example grizzly bear + black bear + polar bear + panda bear) would be considered cheating. Please try to mix up animals that are at least significally different.
4) You have to use the https://lospec.com/palette-list/hybrid32 - Hybrid32 palette .

5) Your own inventtion for an original design is encouraged, but you are allowed to use any from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hybrid_creatures_in_folklore - Wikipedia list of hybrids of four kinds , exactly as they are, or any other hybrid of less or more kinds, as an inspiration for your 4-piece hybrid.
