  • Although the appearances of the Oriental dragons are slightly different throughout East Asia, they are all very similar. Most of these dragon's appearances are based off that of the Chinese dragon. In Chinese folklore and mythology, the Chinese dragon's bodies consisted of parts of several different real-life animals. The history of the Oriental dragon dates back to and probably even farther back than the Xia Dynasty, the first Chinese Dynasty, in 2100 BC. This was 4109 years ago. The dragon became the symbol of the Emperor. Eventually, it was declared that only the Imperial Dragon of the emperor of China would possess five toes. This was the distinction between the Emperor's dragon and the common dragon seen in folklore.
