The word most commonly used for this mythical creation is manticore. It's typically a lion's body with a man's head, and a serpent's or scorpion's tail, but it's occasionally used for any man/animal combination. -Daniel Lewis, Ph.D. / Dibner Senior Curator, History of Science, The Huntington Library,San Marino, CA
