If you read Qwan, you'll remember that Qwan has a companion that's a small, headless, six-legged, flying pig/dog thing. I just ran across an ebook in my library called Chinese Bestiary that's a translation of and commentary on a Chinese compendium of pictures of and text about supernatural creatures, and the headless, six-legged, flying pig/dog thing is in it (in fact, on the cover). Here's the translation of the commentary from the book, plus the scholarly commentary on it. I've corrected the OCR errors that I could figure out.
(This is also way more commentary than most of the other entries get.)

Man, I need a Qwan icon.
