I'm not sure if this "Haetae" and the Xiezhi are the same animal. XieZhi from what I know was a unicorn like creature (sometimes goat like with one horn) that can distinguish deceivers from the sincere. They are so righteous that they will even gorge the ones they perceive as evil with their single horn. whipsandchains ( talk)
Living in Korea I see these all over, sometimes they seem to resemble Imperial_guardian_lions or Fu Dogs, moreso than the one in the picture. I'm not sure about this "unique to Korean culture" thing because the resemble and act in the same way as the Chinese mytological lions. Jrader 13:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

If this mythical creature originated in China and is still seen all around China and other Asian countries, why is this item using the animal's Korean name? Just because it's a mascot for Seoul doesn't mean it's uniquely or inherently Korean. A better way to deal with this is to have two different articles, one is Xiezhi and the other one is its Korean version Haetae. -- 123.118.230.78 ( talk) 06:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
