Jueyuan (mythology)

Jué yuán (Chinese and Japanese: 玃猿; pinyin: Jué yuán; rōmaji: Kakuen) is a legendary animal in the legends of China. They are also called Jué (玃) (in Japanese kaku or ōzaru), Jué fù (玃父), Jiā (猳), Jiā guó (猳國) (in Japanese kakoku カ国), and mǎ huà (馬化) (in Japanese baka). They are similar to monkeys, and thus possess a characteristic of carrying away human females and violating them.
