In the Buddhist "Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra Commentary", the night fork has male and female, beautiful and ugly, which is roughly divided into two types, the empty night fork and the ground night fork.
The Empty Night Fork has two wings behind it, which can travel in the air, is ever-changing, and has different colors. But no matter what color, the body will emit a black light, which is very powerful.

"Liaozhai Zhiyi" also told a story, saying that there was a Jia shang in Jiaozhou surnamed Xu who came out by boat. Suddenly blown away by the strong wind and the boat, he woke up to see a dense mountain forest with no one, and he stopped the boat and carried the food on his back and landed on the shore.
But he saw that the two cliffs were like beehive-like cave openings, and there was a faint voice inside, he went to the cave entrance to secretly check, but saw that there were two night forks inside, teeth like halberds, eyes like headlights, and giant claws that could easily tear apart the deer's body.
This frightened him and he hurried to escape, but was discovered by the night fork and arrested him in the hole to share food.
