Many of the new charges have some problems, here's a list: Missing: bird-foot duck-foot heron-volant heron-wings-displayed dragon-head-cabossed eagle-foot hawk-rising basilisk walleye Naming issues: dragon-wingless-couchant calamarie-embowed Colouring issues: robin dragon killer-whale eagle eagle-striking
Missing: All fixed bird-foot duck-foot heron-volant heron-wings-displayed dragon-head-cabossed eagle-foot hawk-rising basilisk walleye Naming issues: dragon-wingless-couchant (What is the problem here?) calamarie-embowed (And here?) Colouring issues: Fixed robin dragon (being dealt with separately) killer-whale eagle (intentional) eagle-striking (intentional)
Don't know about "naming issues", but dragon-wingless-couchant has extraneous dots
Also, what's the natural reference for hawk-rising-one-leg-raised
, because just using the svg file name doesn't work quite right:
Yeah, I messed up, dragon couchant is the dots, calamari e is the fact that the charge appears the same as embowed and not embowed
As for default baslisk
.. it is rendering as basilisk-wings-displayed
when blazoned as simply basilisk
.
Heraldicart has no plain basilisk image, just the four postured variants.
The question then is "Is that the correct default posture?"
Swinton and Pendlebury Council has the blazon "a cockatrice Or" as basilisk-sejant

Ströhl Heraldischer Atlas t30 2 has the charge as basilisk-wings-displayed
, but I don't see what the blazon is.

Erb Vraždů z Kunvaldu has the charge as sejant
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Erb_Vra%C5%BEd%C5%AF_z_Kunvaldu.png
.. and most modern emblazons render the charge as sejant
.

The town of Sankt Johann does have it as wings-displayed
,

.. however, the arms of the Breidbach family (upon which the town's arms derive) has it as sejant

Suggestion: make basilisk
the same rendering as basilisk-sejant
.
All done
