Monkey King vs Erlang Shen

Erlang Shen, or Erlang, is a Chinese God who had a third, all-seeing eye in the middle of his forehead. This may be a divine version of some folk heroes from China who helped regulate the flooding. A later Buddhist source identifies Erlang Shen as the 2nd son of Heavenly King Vaishravana. The Monkey King, known in China as Sun Wukong, is a 16th-century legandary figure from China. The Monkey King was a monkey born from a stone with supernatural powers.
