Hey all,

I have a new campaign that's set in Hong Kong, and I'd like to fill it out
with some paranimals and whatnot appropriate to the region. Does anyone
know of any good examples to use from Chinese mythology? On a more
accessible note, does anyone have anything from other game systems that
could work (e.g., AD&D Oriental Adventures/Kara-Tur)? I'm also looking for
those things that could work as metavariants.

Things never go wrong. They just don't always go according to plan.

Don't do something, just sit there!

You could have fun with snakes, mongoose (mongeese), foxes, geese, and fishy
things. It's not too far away from Australia, so throw a wallaby or two in,
and not too far away from Japan, China and Russia, so you could do some
Pandas.
