And the kind found in J. J. Grandville's work, where they're just straight up humans with animal heads

Grandville's The Flowers Personified (1847) show a fantasy world peopled by humanised flowers. His disquieting images are recognised as an inspiration to the surrealist movement. #FolkloreThursday
