Sharabha - highly chimeric creature from Vedic texts, whose main feature is that it's incredibly fierce, frightening, has 8 legs, and eats lions.

It's also a delightful symbol of the rivalry between Saivite and Vaishnav theologies. Pic related - Siva takes the form of a sharabha to kill Nrisingha-deva - the Man-lion form of Vishnu.
