Huli jing (Chinese: 狐狸精; pinyin: húlijīng; lit. 'fox spirit') or jiuweihu (Chinese: 九尾狐; pinyin: jiǔwěihú; lit. 'nine-tailed fox') are Chinese mythological creatures usually capable of shapeshifting, who may either be benevolent or malevolent spirits.
In Greek mythology, Orthrus (Greek: Ὄρθρος, Orthros) or Orthus (Greek: Ὄρθος, Orthos) was, according to the mythographer Apollodorus, a two-headed dog who guarded Geryon's cattle and was killed by Heracles. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and the brother of Cerberus, who was also a multi-headed guard dog.
