Creature #16: Camphurcii

According to a 16th century doctrine a Camphurcii was an amphibious creature with the body and forelegs of a deer while it's rear legs were those of a goose. It had a three foot horn sticking from it's forehead, like the unicorn. The Camphurcii lived only on the island of Molucca where it blamelessly fed on fish. It is doubtful whether many now remain since it's fabulous horn was believed to be a remedy against poison.


Deadline for all Camphurcii to be sent to magicalcreaturesproject@gmail.com: Monday October 31st, 2011
