Description
It is said that the Chinese dragon brings good luck and power to those who are worthy.
Well, there is something enchanting about an Oriental dragon. And they are so different from their Eastern cousins. This green and purple dragon floats in front of the moon and a mountain looking very fierce.
Perhaps their charm comes from the combination of so many animals. They have the body of a snake, scales of a carp, head of a camel, horns of a deer, the eyes of a hare, ears of a bull, belly of a frog, paws of a tiger, claws of an eagle and a lion's mane. Two long whiskers spread out from their snout, and under it's chin is a pearl.
That's a lot to put into one creature! But it works.
