NOO-eh
Nue of the Palace’s Ominous Cloud
Manifesting above the imperial court with a black cloud, it unsettles hearts with uncanny cries. Though often depicted as a chimera with a monkey’s face, badger’s body, tiger’s limbs, and a snake’s tail, it ultimately symbolizes an unknown terror whose sound and presence arrive before any form. It is easily shot down, yet vanishes into cloud and darkness without a trace, matching its folk image. The composite-animal iconography spread mainly through later paintings.
