"There is a beast dwelling here at Bright-tower Mountain whose form resembles a porcupine with red bristles. It makes a sound like a wild cat and is called Menghuai. It can repel evil forces. According to Guo Pu's encomium, the Menghuai was depicted in the Illustrations of Frightening creatures." - A Chinese Bestiary; Strange creatures from the Gudieways through mountains and seas, translated by Richard E. Strassberg
