Peng, also known as Dapeng, is a legendary creature from Chinese mythology. It is an enormous bird, that transforms from a giant fish known as a Kun. It is said to come from the north, and is so huge its wings cover the sky and it roils the ocean.
The legend of Peng and Kun was first laid down in the Daoist classic Zhuangzi. The bird has been likened to the Garuda of Hindu legend, while the fish is comparable to Leviathan. Peng is often seen as a symbol of freedom in Daoism.
