Nue

thingiverse

The Nue is a legendary Japanese creature known as a yokai or mononoke. Its face resembles that of a monkey, while its legs are said to be those of a tiger. A tanuki's body makes up most of its structure, with a snake-like tail attached at the front end. In some accounts, nothing is mentioned about its torso, allowing for creative interpretations in depictions of this creature. The Genpei Josuiki describes it as having a tiger's back, a tanuki's legs, a fox's tail, a cat's head, and a chicken's torso.
