'''''Use the above links to be sure any precedents listed below haven't been superseded by newer precedents.'''''

=== '''Definition:''' ===
'''September 2009 - minotaur:'''

Gawayn Langknyfe. Device. Per bend sinister sable and gules, a bull-headed human with bull's hoofs vested of a loincloth per bend Or and argent between in bend a battle axe Or and a battle axe argent. "Blazoned on the LoI as a ''minotaur'', the monster drawn here fits neither the Classical Greek nor the medieval definition of the term. The Classical Greek minotaur of antiquity was drawn on pottery as a man with a bull's head; by medieval times, the minotaur was depicted as a centaur-like monster with a bull's body, a man's torso, and occasionally bull's horns from the man's head..."

=== '''Registerability:''' ===
(Restricted, Reserved, SFPP, OOP)

'''August 2011 - demons:'''

From Wreath: On Demons

A submission this month included a demon. We have only registered ''a demon'' nine times, most recently in July 2000. Further research has not shown any instances of a demon as a period heraldic charge. Depictions of demons in period medieval art vary wildly: generally shaggy, but occasionally more dragon-like, feet usually cloven but occasionally clawed like a dragon, sometimes with wings, sometimes without, sometimes with horns, sometimes without, sometimes with a very bestial face, sometimes with a more human face. Demons do not appear to have a standard depiction.

Barring evidence for the use of demons as a period charge, we will cease to register demons after the February 2012 Laurel meeting. This explicitly overturns the precedent set in September 1992: "The demon is a period heraldic charge, as found in the arms of the city of Brussels (''Gules, the archangel Michael Or vanquishing a demon underfoot sable''). [Asher Truefriend, Sep 1992, A-West]". It has since been determined that the arms of the city of Brussels are post-period.

This does not affect the registerability of demon heads, which have a far more standard depiction.

'''September 1997 - no rampant''':

[W]e don't register rampant humans or humanoids.

[http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/1997/09/lar.html September 1997 LoAR]

'''January 1995 - rampant?:'''

'Rampant' does not appear to be a human posture.

[http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/1995/01/lar.html January 1995 LoAR]

=== '''Conflict:''' ===
'''September 1997 - tincture of wings:'''

Just as we will give a CD for changing the tincture of the wings on a winged monster, so do we give one

for changing the tincture of the flames of a phoenix."

[http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/1997/09/lar.html September 1997 LoAR]

=== '''Identifiability:''' ===

==== '''September 2009 - bull-headed human horns:''' ====
Gawayn Langknyfe. Device. Per bend sinister sable and gules, a bull-headed human with bull's hoofs vested of a loincloth per bend Or and argent between in bend a battle axe Or and a battle axe argent. "This device is returned because the primary charge is not recognizable. The monster's horns were drawn here to blend with the body, in such a way that they could not be distinguished. If any charge's identifying features are not readily seen, that charge is not identifiable, and thus not registerable."
