The monster of Crackow

"Monster of Crackow", a child apperently born with a devilish face and tail, claws instead of hands , eyes on his stomach, and animal heads growing from his elbows, knees, and chest. 
It reputedly died four hours after its birth, but not without warning, "Watch, the Lord cometh." 

By the time this monster was "born," Luther and Philipp Melanchthon had published pamphlets about other monsters engendered by divine displeasure with the papacy. Convictions that heretical beliefs were on the rise , likely played a role in the appearance of this beast.
