After the adoption of the Standards for Evaluation of Names and
Armory, it's "distinct change (DC)", but it's much like CDs were.

One CD, er, DC, is irrelevant.  http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#A5E2
"2. Substantial Change of Type of the Primary Charge Group: A new
submission which substantially changes the type of each primary charge
from a piece of protected armory does not conflict with it."

A change from a cross to a beast or monster is substantial, and
they're both primary charges, so no conflict.

Yeah, that's one way -- two DCs means no conflict.  But it's faster to
use SENA A.5.E.2 again, note the substantial change, and see it's no
conflict.
