deputydog takes you on a tour of the world’s most bad-ass grotesques and gorgoyles. Pictured is a fish-footed man at the Pena National Palace in Sintra, Portugal. Link

Update: Commenter Ângelo Fernandes identified this picture as Adamastor, a Portuguese mythological figure. -Thanks!

    That figure is Adamastor, a mitologic characther of the portuguese history.
