Xin
angelic Chinese single tradition · 1
The Xin are described as the good genii of China. In Robert W. Chambers' short story "The Maker of Moons", they are corrupted by Yue-Laou and transformed into a monstrous composite being. This monster is horrible, for it not only lives in its own body, but it has thousands of loathsome satellites—living creatures without mouths, blind, that move when the Xin moves, like a mandarin and his escort.
