This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Nue (Japanese)
In the Tale of Heike, it is described as a Japanese chimera having the head of a monkey, the limbs of a tiger, the body of a Japanese raccoon dog, and the front half of a snake for a tail. In other writings nothing is stated about its torso, so it is sometimes depicted to have the torso of a tiger. The Genpei J?suiki describes it as having the back of a tiger, the limbs of a tanuki, the tail of a fox, the head of a cat, and the torso of a chicken.
It is said to make terribly eerie bird cry "hyoo hyoo" noises that resemble that of the scaly thrush. The nue is also said to have the ability of shape-shifting, often into the form of a black cloud that can fly Nue – Mysterious Mythological Shape-Shifting Creature Transforming Into A Black Cloud. The yokai is also thought to be nocturnal as most of its sightings happen at night. Its name written in kanji translates to night and bird.
