Chuanwang

Chuanwang is an enormous turtle created by Shengshi who dwells under the surface of Nanhe. While Nanhe is insanely wide and deep, Chuanwang is so large, being 1 kilometre wide and 500 metres tall, that the top of his shell is occasionally mistaken for an island in the middle of the river. When Nanhe floods, Chuanwang awakens from his slumber and swims up and down the river, feasting on the plants, fish and animals that are washed along by the ruthless force of the flood. Otherwise, it rests calmly underneath its shell at the bottom. However, should the woods around Nanhe ever be in danger from an impending catastrophe, the beast will rise out of the water and destroy the attacker with great fury. Its lifespan is unknown.
