I have a list here of known Chinese Mythical creatures. I will add them accordingly in time. Feel free to fill them out yourselves as well. (Note this page will be edited once all the details have been put it)

  • Bashe

Birds:

  • Nine-headed Bird
The nine-headed bird is one of the earliest forms of the Chinese Pheonix, worshiped by ancient natives in Hubei Province, which during the Warring State Period was part of the kingdom of Chu. Nine-headed bird was also called "Nine Phoenix" , which together with Chinese Dragon, were two the most vastly worshiped divine/mythical creatures throughout Chinese history.
The number "Nine" was thought to possess mysterious power in Chinese culture. Nine-headed bird was, and still is believed to be a symbol of wisdom and good fortune.

  • Su Shuang
  • Peng
In Chinese Mythology, the Peng and Kun are different forms of the same creature. Translated from the ancient literature, Zuhang Zi's Xiao Yao You.There lived a kind of giant mysterious fish in the northern sea. These fish are called Kun. Nobody knows how big these fish actually are. They can turn into giant birds. When they are in bird form, they are known as Peng. Nobody knows how big these birds actually are. When they fly, their wings are like the colorful clouds in the sky. When there is a storm in the northern sea, the Peng will fly to the southern sea. They travel three thousand (Chinese miles) in one flap of their wings. They can fly for six months without rest. Note: the southern sea mentioned in the story is also known as Tian Chi.
