Gong Gong (Chinese: 共工; pinyin: Gònggōng or 龚工), also known as Kanghui, is a Chinese water god or sea monster who is often depicted in Chinese mythology, folktales, and religious stories as having red hair and the tail of a serpent (or dragon). He is often seen as destructive and is blamed for various cosmic catastrophes. In all accounts, Gong Gong ends up being killed or sent into exile, usually after losing a struggle with another major deity.
