Capabilities[]
The user is or has the ability to take on the form of a Asian dragon; typically portrayed as long, scaled, wingless serpentine creatures with four legs with features of several (traditionally nine) different animals.
They symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricanes, and floods, and are also symbols of power, strength, and good luck. They also have an extensive range of supernatural powers, including changing size or form (most are able to take on a human shape), fly among the clouds or form clouds, hide in water or turn into water, change color as an ability to blend in with their surroundings and as an effective form of camouflage, and glow in the dark.
Unlike western dragons, oriental dragons are usually part of the spirit community (if they aren't spirits themselves), either living with others of their kind and/or with a court of spirits. They have close connection to the celestial authorities and often have their own fiefdoms to govern, typically a river, lake, or other body of water.
