The xiezhi (Chinese: 獬豸; pinyin: xièzhì; Wade–Giles: hsieh-chih) is a mythical ancient creature found in various East Asian legends. It resembles an ox or goat, with thick dark fur covering its body, bright eyes, and a single long horn on its forehead. It has great intellect and understands human speech. The xiezhi possesses the innate ability to distinguish right from wrong and when it finds corrupt officials, it will ram them with its horn and devour them. It is known as a symbol of justice.
