In Chinese mythology Nuwa (女娲) is the goddess credited with creating human-kind - although other traditions would attribute this feat to either Pangu or Yu Huang.
She and her husband Fu Xi, the first of the San Huang are often called the "parents of human-kind", as along with creating them they each taught the first humans many things. With Fu Xi she is often depicted with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a snake or dragon as it was in the form of dragons that she and her husband carved out the rivers of the world and drained the floods.
