I've had this thought bugging me for a while, but what do most of you interpret the Deodarg as looking like?
The current edition of Barbarians of Lemuria describes it as a "dragon-cat", but the art makes it look like a gigantic, slow scutosaurus-like reptile, hardly cat-like.
The French edition, by Ludosferik, meanwhile, makes it look very fantastical, almost like a Pixiu from Chinese mythology. It's neat but it kinda clashes heavily against the lower-fantasy aesthetics of the game otherwise. Looks more like something you'd find in D&D.
Have any of you come up with a better visual depiction of the Deodarg?
I've personally found myself leaning towards the appearance of the "Megasaurus" from TSR's Star Frontiers roleplaying game. Especially the look they gave the miniature, it just screams "dragon-cat" without looking like the Rankin-Bass Smaug or something.

I agree that the megasaurus looks cooler.
Found a painted version of the mini that looks pretty sharp!
