| 13 Oct 2004 |  Nils-Erik Lindström | I based their good looks on pictures of hyenas and pit bull terriers. So I guess you're right, they do look like hyenas. I believe the Midevial myth of the Crocotta probably originated with someone seeing a hyena. That's why I chose those two species as "models". | |
| 2 Jan 2005 |  Rachel A. Pendley | You don't see many works on Crocottas here on Elfwood. This piece is nice, I like it. Crocottas have always been my favorite mythical beast and I've never found any works on them. Nicely done, Mate. | |

| 9 May 2005 | SummonerX <db7219@dra...com> | WOW a rare site! A crocotta and its actually EATING something..I love it! Like others have said you don't see many of those little buggers. As a mythic side note; Crocottas eat both men and fellow dogs, they can immatate human voices to a degree, and their eyes,if cut out of the beast as it is slain, will turn into slender jewls that once placed under the tongue can give someone the gift of Sight. | |
| 12 Aug 2005 | Kim | This reminds me of lord of the rings:The two towers, when the hyenea rides abushed the people. A little gory, but good job. | |
| 7 Jan 2006 | Sverige töz | I found an other swede...well yah..it's an awesome picture! | |
| 6 May 2006 | I.hate.math.class. | to "spider", duh they look like hyenas. they're probably just an exaggeration of it found in ethiopia. also, i leaned that they have extremely powerful jaws. >and i know that 'cause of this:
Documented by Pliny, this offspring of a wolf and dog can be found in Ethiopia. It is said that this creature can break anything with its teeth and can also eat anything. It may be just an exaggeration of a hyena which has very powerful jaws.

| 21 Jan 2007 | Anonymous | Leucrotta is what I would've called 'em... but very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very good work. | |
