HERALDIC MAP OF EUROPE
Why are most of them animal print designs?

It's probably a folklore.

animals are neat but using mythological creatures are the true kino designs

The only royal family still in power is the one in England. Russian royal family was tossed out and replaced with Muslim and North Korean mercenaries to wage war on Kiev

All of our Heraldry has literally one of two meanings:
>long live the Pope, fuck the Holy Roman Emperor
- red cross on white
- lilies of the Anjou (France)
- lion of the city (sometimes named "marzocco")
- white above black

>long live the Holy Roman Emperor, fuck the Pope
- White cross on Red (Reichssturmfahne)
- Imperial Red and Gold
- Stripes of Aragon (Spain)
- Eagle of the Empire
- Black above White

congrats, you're now an expert on Italian heraldry.

Seeing the Manx Trifoot in the wild probably was the scariest experience ever.

>Why are most of them animal print designs?
either animals or objects, usually

why? Because people inherently ascribe a character/personality to animals. So for example a knight with a lion on his shield, would represent courage - and everyone would understand this without needing to be told so. An eagle was understood as the king of heavens (religious connotations). A dragon could be considered a dangerous and unpredictable character.
So the simple answer is: that it's simpler and easier to communicate ideas this way.

Of course there's also coats of arms that have people displayed on them - but this defeats the point. Why would a person (who is already a symbol by himself) carry another image of a person? This communicates nothing

I made a mistake:
white above black is ghibelline (Siena)
black above white is guelph (Bologna)

because the papist extremists used black
