Origin: from China
Bi Fang is the bird god, the spirit beast is believed to represent the Fire God and the Wood God, living in the forest, born of fire. Bi Fang looks like a white crane, but has only one leg (in some places there is only one wing), red-spotted blue body, white beak. The whole body is made up of fire, extremely dazzling, shiny golden feather, blue-white eyes. Not eating cereals, this species' favorite food is fire so every appearance is a harbinger of a great fire.
Bi Fang quoted from Shan Hai Jing: "Zhange Mountain, there is a bird, like a crane, with one leg, red stripes of black nature and white beak, the name Bi Fang, the sound of it calling itself. Wherever it appears, there is fire there."
Legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor gathered ghosts and gods on Mount Tai , he rode a chariot drawn by six dragons, while Bi Fang waited on the chariot. As the Yellow Emperor's chariot keeper, and able to control six dragons, Bi Fang is a Spirit beast with powerful magic power.
