Chinese creatures

Guǐ
Chinese ghost
According to traditional beliefs, a ghost is the spirit form of a person who has died.
East Asian cultures, notably Japan and Korea. Beliefs about ghosts are closely associated with
Chinese ancestor worship,


Jùrén
Chinese giants


Lóng
Chinese dragons
Chinese dragons have many animal-like forms such as turtles and fish but are most commonly
depicted as snake-like with four legs.
They traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall,
typhoons, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people
who are worthy of it in East Asian culture


Fenghuang
Fenghuang are mythological birds
Just like the phoenix 
The males were originally called Feng and the females Huang but such a distinction of gender is
often no longer made and they are blurred into a single feminine entity so that the bird can be paired
with the Chinese dragon, which is traditionally deemed, male.


Líng guī
It a spirit turtle
It is said to be chief among all shelled creatures
 the turtle as five colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and black; together representing the five elements.


Qǐzhòngjī
It a crane
It is believed to be an immortal


Zhū hóngsè de niǎo
The Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. According to Wu Xing,
the Taoist five-elemental system, it represents the fire-element, the direction south, and the season
summer correspondingly. Thus it is sometimes called the Vermilion Bird of the South 
It is described as a red bird that resembles a pheasant with a five-colored plumage and is
perpetually covered in flames. It is often mistaken for the Fenghuang due to similarities
in appearance, but the two are different creatures. The Fenghuang (similar to the phoenix in
western mythologies) is a legendary ruler of birds who are associated with the Chinese Empress
in the same way the dragon is associated with the Emperor, while the Vermilion Bird is
a mythological spirit creature of the Chinese constellations.

Peng is a giant bird that transforms from a Kun giant fish in Chinese mythology.

Yaoguai
