In [[heraldry]], the [[posture]] of an [[animal]] rearing up, as if fighting, is described as being '''rampant'''.  A winged animal in the same posture is called [[segreant]], while two rampant animals facing each other are [[blazon]]ed [[combattant]].  Rampant is traditionally used in reference to predators such as [[lion]]s, but in the [[SCA]] many [[animals (Heraldry)|animals]] have been registered with that posture.
