Kun referred to a legendary big fish, not an animal that existed in reality. According to legend, the Kun was huge and could be thousands of miles long. It could also transform into a flying bird called Peng. The roc's wings spread like clouds in the sky. It migrated to the southern sea with the surging waves.
