The Lake Tianchi Monster is an alleged "lake monster" which dwells in Lake Tianchi, within the Changbai Mountains of Jilin Province, China, not far from the North Korean border. Some reports argue that there is not a monster, but an estimated 20 monsters.
The first reported sighting was in 1903. It was claimed that a large buffalo-like creature attacked three people, but was shot six times. The monster then retreated under the water.
More recent reports describe the monster as having a human-like head attached to a 1.5m neck. It is said to have a white ring around the bottom of its neck, and the rest of its skin is grey and smooth.

Even though the existence of the monster has not yet been proven to be true. Locals claim that the Lagoon Monster attacks and eats town folks quite frequently. "It happens so often, I guess it's a part of life. As long as it is happy, it will be merciful on our small village", says a local fisherman.
