the Ox-Demon-King


Ox Demon King is a fictional character in the novel Journey to the West. Some versions translated Bull King, but Ox Demon King sounds more approach to its Chinese words. Journey to the West protrays the most various characters I had ever seen in a fiction. The family of Ox-Demon-King foreshadows a lots of modern family legend. The King's wife is Princess Iron Fan. She has an extremely large iron fan which can creates giant whirlwinds. the novel introduced her when monkey king wants to borrow her fan. (In fact, Princess Iron Fan also has a cooler name called Raset Girl, and I am dying to know the english translation.)
That is the Ox-Demon-king's wife, and their child is the more noble Red Boy (Boy Sage King), he (mostly been transform into she in media, but the fiction indicates it is a boy)
