Egg:
As an egg, it absorbs the qi of small nearby organisms. It has a talisman to protect it and aid in collecting qi. It is also semi-translucent and often of a bluish hue.
Hatch:
Once the egg collects enough qi to hatch, it will turn to dust, revealing the dragon. Both eyes remain closed, and the talisman covers one eye.
Hatchling:
The hatchlings’ eyes remain closed. They lift up their arms against the ‘dead weight’ of their forearms and wrists.
Adult:
As Wang-Wang Long age, their limbs lighten and they become very agile due to the lack of weight. Despite the lack of wings, they fly around casually. They keep their distance from most people but do not particularly dislike their company. Wang-Wang Long enjoys collecting beads and small trinkets. It is said that if you give a Wang-Wang Long an object they want to add to the collection, they will give you endless riches. Because of this, they are often referred to as Mage Merchants. It often has its tongue out in a goofy smile, as it enjoys speeding around with its newfound speed with no specific objective. Although they are very easygoing, they become very aggressive if you try to touch their necklaces or talismans. Wang-Wang Long are described in legends as ‘doglike’ and playful.
Story:
One tale tells of a Wang-Wang Long that was caught up in a storm and carried over to a large barren desert. After drifting about the desert for days searching for water and qi to sustain itself, the dragon passed out in the relentless sun. However, it was spotted by a young merchant who was traveling to a closeby oasis village to restock on medicines. As he was a kindhearted man, he hastily carried the Wang-Wang Long along with him with concern for its health. Thanks to the water and qi of the oasis plants, the dragon quickly recovered and woke up. Upon hearing how the merchant had helped him, he quickly rushed to find the kind man. Despite saving its life, the merchant remained humble, telling the dragon that its life was enough thanks, but the dragon refused. Using his sharp claw, he sliced through a large chunk of his beautiful mane handing it to the merchant. “As thanks for your selfless and caring treatment towards me, this hair will grant you boundless riches,” he said. The merchant thanked him repeatedly and hurried to the weaver to have the hair made into cloth. As promised, the shiny, soft, and surprisingly strong fabric was a hit. People sought to replicate it as it was different from anything they had ever seen, causing “The Great Silk Boom.” For this reason, the Wang-Wang Long is treated with respect and friendliness for its great contribution.
