You’re overthinking it. Think of the food buffalo chicken and which animal would make this. It’s still the same outcome, but if the food was called chicken buffalo for some reason then it’d still be the top.
Comment on Buffalo chicken

I’m going to base this on the owl bear because I feel like it.
so my now made up rule is for animals merged like this the first animal is the modifier and the second is the base.
therefore it is a chicken with a buffalo look, not a buffalo with a chicken look.
real life reference: a whale shark is a shark that looks like a whale, not a whale that looks like a shark

I… have no arguments to propose. Guess this is what we’re doing now.
