Zhi

Tiger-Ox Beast

Man-eater of Fuyu Mountain with a tiger’s body, ox’s tail and a barking-dog cry.

Zhi is the man-eating beast of Fuyu Mountain with the body of a tiger and the tail of an ox, barking like a dog. Its very name means “pig,” yet its form is tiger and ox — a misnamed terror that stalks the bamboo groves of the southern canon.
