I see a mannish shape 8-12 feet tall with a troll like face though more evil - strong legs and arms - and wings!!! Dark skinned, with a mane like that of a horse, starting at the head and ending somewhat before the TAIL!!!
But this is only the picture that has stuck with me since childhood - those pictures are hard to change!

- Personally I dont see how a Shadow or a cloud can yield a sword or a whip!
