"Haetae"?

This is my first time posting on this thing, though I peruse it often; anyway, I remember from my trip to Korea the tour guide mentioning something about erm... "Haetae," I guess would be a romization of it. I'm not sure. They're supposed to be these mythical water beasts, built to ward against fire. Does anyone have any more information, or think these statues might warrant an article of their own (as the mythical creature, I suppose), or mention in this one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haetae this is the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by ICIWORLD (talk • contribs) 06:33, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

Why was the infobox image replaced? The previous image served just as well (better, in my opinion), and has a more universal usage on wikis. Why a replacement without a discussion?Mark Froelich (talk) 22:53, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
