T is for Taotie

Taotie is a creature from Chinese folklore. It can take the form of a man, a dragon, or a tiger. Whatever form it takes, the head and front half will have the normal amount of parts, but below or behind the front half, it will split into two bodies, each with distended stomachs.Taotie has no lower jaw, so as to make it's mouth look cavernous. It's usually found depicted on bronze bowls for food, to warn the eaters of the dangers of gluttony.
