  • Entity ID: ent_chinese_classic_天马
  • Name: 天马 (Tianma)
  • Classification: Euclid
  • Threat Level: 5
  • Alignment: Neutral
  • Mythology System: Chinese Classic
  • Primary Origin: 《山海经》(Classic of Mountains and Seas) - North Mountain Classic
  • Primary Habitat: Mount Macheng (马成之山)

Physical Profile

Section titled “Physical Profile”

The Tianma defies standard classification within biological taxonomy. Historical sightings describe an entity possessing the physical profile of a canine, though its nomenclature translates to “Celestial Horse.”

  • Morphology: The entity manifests with a stark, snowy-white coat contrasted by a distinctively jet-black head.
  • Locomotion: While physiologically terrestrial, the entity exhibits rapid, flight-capable evasion patterns upon perceiving human observers.
  • Auditory Signature: The entity is known to vocalize its own name, a behavioral trait consistent with several entities recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Behavioral Logic

Section titled “Behavioral Logic”

Under the established Chinese Classic Protocol, all interaction with the Tianma must adhere to the following existential frameworks:

  1. Meta-Physical Adherence: The entity operates strictly within the mystical physics defined by the Classic of Mountains and Seas codex.
  2. Proximity Protocol: Maintain a baseline containment radius of 50 meters. Sudden breach of this perimeter triggers an immediate aerial evasion response.
  3. Containment Status: Currently uncontained within the modern geographic scope. The entity remains tethered to the metaphysical geometry of Mount Macheng.

Archival Note: Modern Anomaly Adaptation

Section titled “Archival Note: Modern Anomaly Adaptation”

Current research into the Tianma suggests a potential cross-link between classic Chinese mythology and modern anomalous manifestations. However, no formal SCP-Foundation-style containment protocol currently exists.

“Researchers are reminded that the ‘Tianma’ should not be confused with the traditional winged horses of Western folklore. Its canine physiology and specific aversion to human observation suggest a deeper, perhaps reality-bending, defensive mechanism that masks its true form from untrained eyes.” — Senior Archivist Note
