The páo xiāo (狍鸮)

The páo xiāo (狍鸮) has a human face or a mask, and it makes a sound like the crying of infants. Its body is like that of a sheep, it has sharp claws, and it has eyes or a face below one of its arms.

Over a century ago, sinologist J.J.M. de Groot described a folkloric monster he called a "celestial roe," which has baffled folklorists and monster lovers for a hundred years.  Even Jorge Luis Borges wrote an essay essentially saying, "what the heck is a 'celestial roe'?" 

I thnk this is the answer to the question.  The páo xiāo (狍鸮).  The first word, páo (狍), means a roe deer.  The páo xiāo (狍鸮) is a creature described in the ancient Chinese bestiary, the Shān Hǎi Jīng.
