A celestial beast, also known as a celestial animal or divine creature, refers to a mythical or legendary creature that is associated with the heavens, gods, or divine powers in various cultures and belief systems. These beings are often depicted as possessing extraordinary powers, symbolizing virtues, and having a close connection to celestial realms.

In different cultures and mythologies, celestial beasts can take on various forms and meanings. Some well-known examples include:

  1. Chinese Celestial Beasts: In Chinese mythology, there are four sacred creatures that guard the four cardinal directions. These are the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North. Each of these celestial beasts represents specific qualities and attributes.

  2. Greek Mythology: Various creatures from Greek mythology can be considered celestial beasts, such as Pegasus, a divine winged horse; the Griffin, a creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle; and the Phoenix, a legendary bird associated with resurrection and immortality.

  3. Hindu Mythology: The Garuda, a large mythical bird-like creature, is considered a celestial being in Hindu mythology and is known as the vehicle of Lord Vishnu.

  4. Egyptian Mythology: The Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, is often associated with the heavens and divine knowledge in ancient Egyptian beliefs.

  5. Japanese Mythology: The Kirin or Qilin, a mythical hooved creature resembling a deer with dragon-like features, is considered a celestial being that brings good luck and prosperity.

These celestial beasts often play significant roles in stories, folklore, and religious beliefs, representing both protective and benevolent forces or occasionally symbolizing divine wrath and justice. Their presence in various cultures illustrates the human fascination with the heavens and the divine, as well as the imaginative and symbolic power of mythology.
