Legend has it that there was once a water monster called Yu (yù 蜮). It had norns, a shell, wings and three legs, but no eyes. There was a catapult in its mouth. If Yu heard the steps of a man, it would shoot sand from its mouth at him. If even the mans’s shadow was hit, the man would fall ill.

傳說江淮間出產(chǎn)一種很特別的甲蟲，名叫蜮，又有人稱做射工、射影、短狐、水狐。這種蟲常常傷害人，形狀很是奇怪，背上長著硬殼，頭上有角，身上長有翅膀，可以飛到上空，在人的頭上施行襲擊。它沒有眼睛，但耳朵聽覺特別靈敏，口中有一橫物，形狀像弩，只要聽到人聲便知道人的所在方向和距離，然后用口中所含的沙當(dāng)作矢，向人射擊。被蜮射中的人，會染上一種毒質(zhì)而生瘡;就算人的身體能夠射避，而影子被蜮射中，也會生病。
