As usual further material is available at Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu_10_Mythical_Creatures_(Internet_meme)

... with the 'grass-mud horse' as the first of the ten mythological animals

... and the next animal's name evoking the F-word (English) thus giving
an excuse for this posting to ADS list

... and the third animal's name apparently at the expense of Japanese
low-pop-culture

... and so forth.

Lots of fun, and probably even more fun if you're Chinese or
Chinese-affiliated.

Of course, one expects a few small errors at Wiki.
