A cockatrice looks like it has two eyes.

Everything written about the chupa is that is had two glowing red eyes.

ok there needs to be some key for this cipher... there are 3 coded images so far...

I've got
WQVTE TDSRO DSAPI

WLPAE NNVTT

ECHO
DMHNJ TTAVI DXGM

which I'm assuming so far are better laid out
WQVTE TDSRO DSAPI
WLPAE NNVTT ECHO
DMHNJ TTAVI DXGM

5 letters each... something makes me think there's another pair for the first line... is there another image with code letters?

the two wheels need to line up somehow...


Don't forget proceed clockwise ++ and maybe the echo has something to do with lining it up?

Ok, so maybe the forst word has 2 "I" s in it, the second word has 4 "i"s in it, etc?

I want to clarify these two since I found them.

Technically, "WLPAE NNVTT" was on it's own line and had the characters 'L<carriage return>' before it. So it might be:

L
WLPAE NNVTT

The ECHO one is also kind of strange since it is an actual word, but it may mark the beginning of the phrase. It definitely had a carriage return character between it and the Jumbled Text.

 		Here's the embedded JPG from dana.jpg

I can't get anything out of danapicnic.jpg. Seems to be done the same way beegarden was, so whoever did that might want to try.

Worked these out myself, but I see most have been done already. Still as summation is:

/15 Cockatrice – 2 legs
/70 Steropes – 1 eye
/20 Chichevache –?
/30 Kali Ma – 6 limbs
/Ts'ang Chieh - 4 eyes (mythical inventor of Chinese writing)
/10 Brown recluse – 8 legs
/10 Chupacubra - ?(Mexican goat sucker)
/20 Heraclides' guide 3 eyes (2 human, one horse)
/40 Manikanda's coconut 3 eyes

Can't be dates as the second number is too high. Fractions? Not whole numbers.


Maybe fractions converted to decimals and then the first digits of the decimals converted to letters?

 		On the codewheel, it's probably substitution code with the addition of a single clockwise increment, But how do we know the start position? Could that be where the singular L comes in, A=L?

 		could be any order...

WQVTE TDSRO DSAPI

ECHO
DMHNJ TTAVI DXGM

L
WLPAE NNVTT

there are 2 four letter groups, and one extra letter.. .something makes me think there's another one somewhere, one stray letter, or another embedded portion... considering each is 5 letters, seems odd to have one with 4 letters
