驺吾 (騶吾, 騶虞)
Zōu Wú
林氏国有珍兽，大若虎，五采毕具，尾长于身，名曰驺吾，乘之日行千里。
— 《山海经》卷十二·海内北经
In the State of Lin, there was a rare beast that was as large as a tiger with five different colors running through its body and a tail longer than the length of its body, known as the Zou’Wu. It could carry its rider over a thousand leagues a day.

Notes:
- 驺吾, Zouwu, was said to be the same as the creature, 驺虞 (Zouyu), recorded in the Book of Zhou Rituals (《周礼·春官·锺师》).
