Since the advent of the LEGO Collectible Minifigure, LEGO fans have over the years speculated as to which minifigure mascot would constitute a LEGO Chinese Zodiac collection.

While some are already existing LEGO Minifigure Mascots like the Pig, Monkey, Rooster, Horse, Dragon, Rabbit and Tiger, others seem to be cobbled together from other minifigure parts.
The Goat is actually the torso and leg assembly of the Unicorn Girl and the hair piece is a recoloured element from the Satyr. 
The LEGO Chinese Zodiac Snake has a hairpiece from the Lasha minifigure of the Ninjago line although
I’m not too sure where the torso is from. Same goes for the hair piece for the LEGO Chinese Minifigure Ox.
If anyone has an idea on where they came from, do drop a comment below!

The snake torso looks a little like the mighty micro scorpion torso to me
I don’t think I’ve seen that torso before but the mighty micro scorpion torso works just as well.

The ox’s heir pice is from the Western theme from 1997 but they colored the horns white.
