Gong Gong
Horrible monster of the Chinese mythology.
Gong Gong appears as a black dragon and causes tempests.
He tried to disturb the course of the sun by tearing a
hole into the sky with his horn.
As Gong Gong challenged the master of fire, Zhu Rong,
there was a battle lasting for some days,
and when the monster was finally defeated, it was so
ashamed it ran against a mountain.
This eruption, due to the crash, menaced the sky and the earth,
but the goddess Nu Gue repaired the sky and held the earth.
Since then, the sky is a bit tilted, which is the reason
why all rivers in china flow to the east.
