Just like their mainstream [[vampire]] cousins, jiangshi are not immune to getting the [[monstergirls]] treatment. The most famous example of this is the character Hsien-Ko from Capcom's now-forgotten monster-themed beat-em-up "Darkstalkers". Whilst easy to just portray as "ethnic vampires", jiangshi have such a massive library of traits and quirks that making them distinctive from the ordinary vampire is really easy. The highly distinctive outfits, representing ancient Chinese imperial officers over the stereotypical Gothic capes & suits or Punk leather and chains, certainly adds to their appeal.

In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], the jiangshi is a branch of the [[zombie]] family tree from the Mist Continent. Superhumanly strong and tough, they are often master [[monk|martial artists]] and/or [[wizard|mages]]. Their claws secrete a demonic energy toxin, which allows them to transform other women into new jiangshi by touching them. They suffer from rigor mortis, giving them stiff joints that often compels them to hop around; part of their reason for hunting human lovers so fervently is that a healthy dose of a man's stiffness cures their own for a while.

In the [[Life With Monstergirls]] universe, the jiangshi is, again, a unique strain of [[zombie]] monstergirl most characterized by chronic rigor mortis in the limbs, forcing them to practice tai chi or other exercises to limber up each morning.
