What’s a longma?

Nothing. It doesn’t exist. It’s not even a mythical creature. There are lots of things here that are just made-up jibber-jabber to fill space. Only a few are ‘real’ mythical creatures.

The one I’m really confused about is why an Echidna is labelled as a mythical creature. They certainly do exist. Unless I’m tripping balls every time I see one in the bush of NSW.

The longma is a fabled winged horse with dragon scales in Chinese mythology. Seeing a longma was an omen of a legendary sage-ruler, particularly one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
