Xiang Yao
Xiang Yao is a monster in Chinese Folklore. Known as a monster with nine human heads and the body of a serpent. The Xiang Yao sticks close to the black Dragon known as Gong-Gong. Together they dung in water sources (ponds, lakes. . .basically bodies of water) creating swamps. (Stinky swamps to be exact).

DeleteThe Chinese monsters are always so intimidating. It must have something to do with the age of that culture. THey had a long time to perfect intimidation. Their dragons, on the other hand, are lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat X-day post.
Agreed. Dragons are my all time favorite! If there is anything I could talk about for hours on end, it would be Dragons.
DeleteSounds like quite a scary monster. Great use of the letter X.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. Thank you!
DeleteNo this sounds really cool. Love it. Note to self: remember Xiang Yao for future reference.
