What the Fathers say

Isaiah 34:14

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

741. And it shall be the habitation of dragons. Here he shows the horror of the desolation from the monsters which dwelt there: demons, monsters of demons, which appear most in deserts; onocentaur, which is half ass and half ox, or this is the illusion of a demon rather than a natural animal; the hairy ones, an ape, or a wild man, or a demon incubus; lamia, having the feet of a horse and the other members of a woman; cried out one to another, above: wild beasts shall rest there (Isa 13:21).
