吳先主時陸敬叔。為建安太守。使人伐大樹。下數斧忽有血出。至樹斷有一物。人頭狗身。從樹穴中出走。叔曰。此名彭侯。烹而食之。其味如狗。

During the reign of the First Lord of Wu, Lu Jingshu was the Grand Protector of Jian'an. He sent men to chop down a large tree. After a few blows of the axe, blood suddenly came forth. When the tree was severed, there was a creature with a human head and a dog's body that ran out from a hollow in the tree. Jingshu said: 'This is called a Penghou.' They boiled and ate it, and its flavour was like dog.
