Much like the FREIBURG SHRIEKER, the BLACK BIRD OF CHERNOBYL, and the internationally renowned MOTHMAN of West Virginia, the Man-Dragon of China managed not only to terrify eyewitnesses with the preternatural spectacle of it's very existence, but also served as an oracle of doom.
The events surrounding this creature's first appearance began in 1926, somewhere in the south-eastern foothills of China, near the region where one of the largest dams the world had ever known (although, it was only the second largest in China), the Xiaon Te Dam was located. Almost overnight rumors began to spread in the farming communities beneath the Xiaon Te regarding a huge, black, "Man-Dragon", which had frightened several people, and was seen hovering above the dam.
On the afternoon of January 19, 1926, the Xiaon Te Dam collapsed sending over 40 billion gallons of water crashing onto the unwitting farmers below. Entire villages were destroyed beneath the crushing impact of this torrential, man-made deluge, which resulted in a horrific death toll of over 15,000. Although most records of the disaster were destroyed by the incumbent communist regime, many Survivors of the calamity confirmed that the Man-Dragon showed itself not only at the doomed structure, but to many of it's victims as well.
More recently there have been reports from the Russian newspaper Pravda, which state that Chinese newspapers have chronicled an event in which several people were purportedly warned of the imminent crash of one of China Northern's MD-82 aircrafts. The warnings were said to have come from a large, dark, man-like creature with wings. These reports have yet to be confirmed.
As always, we welcome your questions, comments, and any additional information that you may have regarding any of the animals already represented on this site. We would also express our hearty gratitude to anyone who can provide us with details pertaining to any of the unique beasts which we may have neglected.

Black Bird of Chernobyl? The Mothman? Never heard of the Shreiker, but the Mothman shrieked, too...
