>>they didn't include it in art therefore not real
>>Europeans drew dragons n shit therefore they're real
Dragon depictions in Europe evolved from snake like and eventually reach the classic western dragon appearance. The oldest form of horned snakes feature on the Gundestrup cauldron.
They are horned snakes because they are based upon the horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) That inhabits southern Europe and probably had a greater geographical range in the past.

>That's how you sound, dumb ass. Besides, the black hooded mask is documented in sources from early 17th century England
A black hood isn't the OP's weird beaked mask anon. Once again, no special executioner masks like OP's are ever displayed in old woodcuts or manuscript illustrations. Just the victim to be executed is blindfolded sometimes. Come to think of it, I've never seen an executioner's hood or robe in period art either. So you're probably misremembering.
