Herren-Surge

In Basque folklore, the Herren-Surge is a snake with seven heads that can fly through the air even though it has no wings. It lives underground and has the habits of a dragon. It ways any unattended herds of animals.

Fian-Sian-Che

According to ancient Chinese folk tradition, Fian-Sian-Che is the bear spirit who casts out evil. He is the leader of the Dance of Twelve Animals in the New Year celebration called Ta-No. Boy dancers attired as different animals whirled about the Fian-Sian-Che after hurling menacing gestures at the forces of evil. Then all twelve, led by the near spirit, ran through the countryside to take their healing powers to cast out evil.
