#cancer could mean either

[British Library Harley MS 3244 fol.67r]

Our first contestant has a slight disadvantage because I did accidentally spoil its look by uploading it to a different post, but it’s fun, fresh and structurally interesting! That center ridge really accentuates the eyes.

[The Hague, KB KA 16 fol. 113v]

Contestant 2 is going for a bolder look. The red pops, the orifices are unexpected, and I love that its claws are mostly hooves. That’s commitment to a style!

[University of Glasgow Library, Sp Coll MS Hunter U.3.2 (229) fol. 3v]

Contestant 3, bringing literal star power: the zodiac sign Cancer. The claws are sharp, both faces convey indecipherable emotions, and I feel uncomfortable if I look at it for too long. A standout!
