i've done a very quick google and found some good arm-fish-things on the tumblr blog "Historie of Beafts"
A medieval illustration of a fish-like creature, with the body of a fish, the head of a bull or similar mammal, and two disproportionately long human arms. A medieval illustration of a "sea cow," depicted with the body of a fish, the head of a long-horned bull, and arms / legs ending in human hands. A medieval illustration of a fish-like creature, with the body of a fish, the head of a dog or similar mammal, small back fins (or wings?) and two human arms. It is delicately cradling a human.

animal with wheels, like those toys they've found in archaeological digs (attached a couple of my personal favourites)
An old and weathered terracotta figure of a bird with a ram's head, with one set of terracotta wheels attached through the bird's middle. The bird is brown. The World History Commons dates the bird toy to between 2600-1900 BCE, and notes it was excavated in the city of Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley, located in modern-day Pakistan. An old and weathered earthenware figure of an ox, with two sets of earthenware wheels attached through the ox's front and back legs. The ox is brown, with painted black lines across its torso. The blog "Mathilda's Anthropology Blog" dates the ox toy to between 3950-3650 BCE, and notes it was from the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture that covered parts of modern-day Moldova, Ukraine, and Romania.

my blu-rays! 🙌
Two Blu-ray box sets for "All The Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror" Volume 1 and 2. The cover of volume 1 (left) shows a large standing stone with a hole in it, with a bird sitting on a branch visible through the hole; behind the stone is a circle of branching gold tree roots. The cover of volume 2 (right) shows a long-haired shirtless woman with her back to the viewer, reaching upwards; illustrated green flames cover the woman's lower body.
