Editing Oriental Dragon

{{dnd-stub}}

'''Oriental Dragons''', as their name suggests, are what happens when [[Dungeons & Dragons]] tries to recast [[dragon]]s to better fit an [[Oriental Adventures]] mold. There are two known examples of these; the '''Lung Dragons''' of [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] and the '''Imperial Dragons''' of [[Pathfinder]].

==Lung Dragons==
There are eight types of Oriental/Lung Dragon in AD&D; the Carp, Celestial, Coiled, Earth, River, Sea, Spirit, and Typhoon Dragons.

==Imperial Dragons==
Imperial dragons, sometimes termed dragons of the celestial host, are a type of dragon that are serpentine agents of cosmic balance native to Tian Xia. Like other true dragons, they grow in power as they age. Although they are true dragons, imperial dragons differ in appearance from other true dragons, possessing a long serpentine body. They lack wings, but can fly gracefully through supernatural means. All imperial dragons have large horns with which they can make deadly gore attacks. Like all dragons, imperial dragons can breathe potent torrents of elemental force, cast spells, and perform other supernatural feats. Additionally, all can magically transform themselves into a humanoid shape.

Imperial Dragons consist of five breeds; Forest, Sea, Sky, Underworld, and Sovereign. These are known in Tian Xia as Dilung, Jiaolung, Tienlung, Futsanglung and Lungwang respectively, making their origins in AD&D quite clear.
