Gudiao

Traditional Chinese depiction of a Gudiao

The Gudiao is a bird from the ancient bestiaries of China.

Description[]

The Gudiao resembled an eagle but with horns on its head. It was said to be able to mimic the sounds of a crying baby. It lived in the mountains of ancient China.

It was carnivorous and sometimes would eat humans.

Explanation[]

The Gudiao could be a simple bogeyman figure, created to scare children into not going into rivers, out of fear of them drowning.
