The Chinese Dragon and His Nine Animal Attributes

Eyes like a shrimp, antlers like a deer, 
big mouth like a bull, nose like a dog, 
whiskers like a catfish, lion's mane, 
long tail like a snake, scales like a fish, 
claws like a hawk,  often dragons talk 

Chinese Dragon, a spirit creature  
and also a cultural symbol 
defining prosperity and luck 
also known as Loong, in Chinese Myth

I'll take your word for it. I know nothing about Chinese religion, if they have one :)

If I ever met a dragon... I would need all the luck I could get. Well penned my friend. Stay well.
