Trebius
The text mistakenly says that the trebius pierces ships with its sharp beak. The artist has the fish cutting the bottom of the ship with its back, as the sawfish is said to do. The trebius was "created" through the mistakes of Thomas of Cantimpré; see the beast page on the trebius for more information.
