Q is for Questing Beast - the snake-headed, leopard-bodied, lion-tailed, deer-footed creature, eternally hunted by King Pellinore in Arthurian legends

Who here hath heard of The #QuestingBeast?
Also known as the #BeastGlatisant, it appears in many tales of Arthurian legend.
It has the head of a snake, body of a leopard, haunches of a lion, & the feet of a deer.
It emits a barking noise like "thirty couple hounds questing".
