Yara Aranis looks like the big exception, but I have my doubts if she's really a daughter of the Red Emperor (there's a spider-like horse-eathing demon in (the Fortunate Succession?) who soulds suspiciously like her).

Oops, rereading of the relevant section ("Viramakradda" Fortunate Succession, p90) shows that the creature in question, Galgarenge, is not spiderlike at all. It has feathered wings, which is as much physical description as we get (maybe it's a large bird or a griffin). So my theory is a load of baloney. Sorry about that. On the other hand, Galarenge sounds like it has a taste for horses and, possibly, nomads, so it would have been a handy thing for the Red Emperor to find and wake up and sic on Sheng and Co.
