Introduction
The dragons given in the basic rulebooks are enough for most campaigns. However some would like to add
neutral dragons to their campaign or would prefer a more classic oriental type than that given with the
metallic dragons. The original oriental dragons of 1st through 3rd edition are not open content and neither
are the original neutral (gem) dragons. I could have converted the Imperial dragons from Pathfinder, which
are Open Content, but I wanted my dragons to have a more traditional Asian feel.
With this in mind I decided to start from scratch and create my own oriental dragons. The dragons here are
from actual Asian mythology and differ markedly from their original edition counterparts; however it
should be easy enough to convert older modules and settings by using the chart below...
Original Editions Pathfinder This Volume

Chiang Lung (River Dragon) Mist Dragon Feilong
Li Lung (Earth Dragon) Forest Dragon Dilong
Lung Wang (Sea Dragon) Dragon Turtle -
Pan Lung (Coiled Dragon) Sea Dragon Qiulong
Shen Lung (Spirit Dragon) Sky Dragon Shenlong
Tien Lung (Celestial Dragon) Sovereign Dragon Tianlong
Tun Mi Lung (Typhoon Dragon) Underworld Dragon Fucanglong
Some may wonder at the change in spelling, why Tianlong instead of Tien-lung? This is because the
spelling of Chinese into English no longer uses the Wade-Giles system but instead has changed to the
Pinyin system. The Pinyin version is much closer to how the word is actually pronounced. For example the
Wade-Guiles word Lung is pronounced Long so the Pinyin system just spells it as Long.
I also omitted the Lung Wang because Lung Wang (now Longwang) is actually the collective names
for the Dragon Kings and not a type of dragon at all. Indeed the oriental term for a dragon turtle is Kuh-
long, this creature did not have the multi-stage lifecycle of true dragons but was born of seaweed and was
always aquatic. To take its place I have restored the Feilong (Mist Dragon) to its rightful place among the
oriental dragons.
So with the introduction out of the way lets get to the 5th edition Oriental Dragons...

Oriental Dragons
Oriental Dragons, or Longs, are among the most powerful of true dragons and are worshiped as demigods
by many cultures. Said to bring rain, control the weather, and deliver messages they are praised in story and
song. But they are also feared for they may bring devastating floods, typhoons, and earthquakes when
angry and are charged with inflicting the punishment of the gods.
Nine Remembrances. Oriental dragons all have a similar appearance known as the Nine Remembrances.
Its head is that of a camel, its eyes those of a hare, its neck that of a snake, its belly that of a frog, its scales
those of a carp, its claws those of an eagle, its limbs those of a tiger, its ears those of a cow, and its horns
those of a stag.
Metamorphosis. All Oriental dragons go through a very complex lifecycle where, like a tadpole into a
frog, they pass through four distinctive stages. These stages differ quite a bit from their Western kin and are
as follows...
ORIENTAL DRAGON AGE CATEGORIES

Age Category Size Age Range
Wyrmling Yulong Medium 1-500 years
Young Jiaolong Large 501-2000
Adult Panlong Huge 2001-2999
Ancient Yinglong Gargantuan 3000-5000 years or more
Yulong (Carp Dragon): newly hatched from a gem-like egg that was laid 1000 years before, a wyrmling
oriental Dragon looks like a water snake with the head of a dragon and fins of a carp. It has no claw attack
or wings. It is an adept swimmer but can only slither slowly on land.
Jiaolong (River Dragon): at this age the young dragonet grows a pair of muscular arms and fore-talons. It
thus looks just like the Linnorms of the west. It is a good swimmer and can crawl swiftly on land.
Panlong (Coiled Dragon): the dragon is now fully adult but lacks wings. It does have four sturdy legs and
looks much like a huge lizard. It can float through the air using its dragon pearl but lacks the grace and
speed of an older dragon.
Yinglong (Proper Dragon): ancient Oriental dragons grow a pair of vast wings that greatly increase their
flying and combat abilities. At this point it looks much like an elongated western dragon.
Yulong Jiaolong Panlong Yinglong

Amphibious. Born with gills, all Oriental dragons can breathe both air and water.
Dragon Pearl. Upon its fore head of the oriental dragon is a glittering gem called a chimu or flaming
pearl. This gem is similar to the dracontia that grows upon the skull of the western dragon but the soul
gem of oriental dragons does more than simply record its memories. The chimu is a magical organ and
without it an oriental dragon cannot fly or cast any spells. It loses its magic when removed from the dragon
but is worth 100 gold pieces per Challenge Rating of the dragon. Rumor has it that a human who swallows
a dragon pearl will become a dragon. Some say this is how the dragonborn came to be.
Dragon Magic. All Oriental Dragons are highly magical and can cast a number of spells per day equal to
their Charisma modifier. These spells are psionic in nature and need no material components to be cast. The
level of spell a dragon can cast is no higher than one-third its CR and the dragons bonus to hit with a spell
is its Proficiency bonus + its Charisma modifier. Saving throw DC to resist the spell are 8+ the dragons
Proficiency bonus + its Charisma modifier.
Talons of Rank. The number of claws possessed by a long denotes its status in the divine hierarchy of
dragons. Only the five dragon kings and their offspring possess five claws on each paw, lesser nobles have
four claws, and ministers and commoners have only three. When delivering divine messages to mortals the
dragon sent always has a rank appropriate to the person receiving a message. For example, the Emperor is
assigned a five-toed dragon while his head minister would get a message from a three-toed one.
Treasure of the Gods. Like all dragons Oriental dragons hoard treasure. In this case most of this treasure
is that given into the trust of the dragon by the Gods. Others treasures guarded are those lost at sea or in
floods. Natural treasures such as pearls, gemstones, and rare metals may also be hoarded by oriental
dragons. In most cases this is to keep dangerous artifacts out of human hands or to make the dragons lair
beautiful.
Emperor of the Eastern Dragons. The chief deity of the oriental dragons is the great Qiantang the Yellow
Dragon. He appears as a 900 foot long ancient tianlong covered in golden yellow scales and with a flaming
red mane. He is king of the Tianlongs as well as Emperor of all other oriental dragons and the other dragon
kings all swear fealty to him. Great Qiantang dwells in the outer planes but often wanders the world in
polymorphed form to visit the other dragon kings or to dispense justice among dragonkind.
Qiantang is notable for his fairness and righteousness and his golden form is the symbol of the Emperor.
This deity is worshiped on the first and fifteenth of every month and there is hardly a village where a
temple or shrine to Qiantang is not present. As a lesser deity, he has the power to grant divine spells.
Domains covered by Qiantang are Nature and Tempest.
The Longwang. In charge of each breed of dragon are the longwang (Shiryu in Japanese) or dragon kings.
There are four dragon kings all under the command of the Dragon Emperor. Each of these kings represents
one of the four seas, the four directions, and the four elements. They live in the material plane in a
magnificent palace under the sea they represent. In this magical palace of coral and pearls can be found
numerous servants made up of water elementals, mermaids, and other ocean races. A huge army of
awakened crabs, sharks, octopus, and fish serve as watchmen and palace guards. They all appear as ancient
dragons of their clan and, being demigods, can provide worshipers with divine spells.

Dilong (Earth Dragon)
Dilong, or Earth Dragons, have leonine heads and
scales that are usually some earth tone such as the dull
yellows of desert sand, the browns and grays of stone,
the white of salt, or the blacks of volcanic rocks. The
breath of a dilong is an ear shattering roar that causes
thunder damage.
Lords of the Earth: Dilongs are in charge of

earthquakes, landslides, and underground water sources.
They are responsible for the fertility of the land
including the flow of rivers and the fullness of oases,
wells and ponds. They may reward people by revealing
underground springs or punish them with a flood or
quake.
King of the West: The ruler of the dilong is the white

scaled Ao Jun, also known as Bailong, who has a castle
in the bottom of the western sea. Ao Jun was born a
human boy who swallowed a dragons pearl to keep it
out of enemy hands. As such he is the longwang most
likely to listen to humanoids.
A DILONGS LAIR
A dilongs lair is typically a vast cavern studded with

natural crystals and stalactites and stalagmites. Often
the lair has phosphorescent fungi or moss positioned just right to make the crystals shine and glow as if the
lair is lit from within.
Lair Actions: On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the
following effects:
The dragon can roar loud enough to cause the ground to shake. The dragon is unharmed but all
other creatures within 120 feet of it must make a Dexterity save as if affected by the dragons
breath or be knocked prone.
By stomping its foot a young or older dragon creates a fissure 1d10 feet by 10 feet in dimensions
and 10 feet deep. This fissure snakes out in front of the dragon and anybody caught in make a
Dexterity save as if affected by the dragons breath or fall in and take 2d6 points of damage. If the
save is made no damage is taken as the edge of the gap is successfully avoided. Any structures
caught under the fissure are dealt 50 points of bludgeoning damage and may collapse as in an
Earthquake spell.
When an adult or older dragon makes a tail attack the dragon may choose to strike the crystals and
rock formations in its lair instead of the adventures. The impact flings debris and dust in a 20 foot
radius causing everyone other than the dragon to have their vision obscured for 1d6 rounds.
REGIONAL EFFECTS
The region containing a dilongs lair is enchanted by the dragons magic, which creates one or more of the
following effects:
The animals around the lair will all be Awakened (as the spell) and will be the servants of the
dragon.
7
The land about the lair will be marked with many fantastic and unusual landforms. Pillars of stone,
rocks in the shape of people or animals, deep fissures in the earth, and glittering crystals will all
mark the area around a dilongs lair.
Once per day the dragon can cause any stream, pool, lake or similar source of water to overflow its
bank and flood the area. The water forms a 20 foot tall wave that will knock down any vehicle of
Huge size or smaller and cause any creature caught in it to make a Dexterity save or fall prone.
If the dragon dies the landforms remain intact but all other effects immediately fade.

Feilong (Mist or Luck Dragons)
Feilongs, or Mist Dragons, are the dragons of the misty
mountains. They are elongated dragons with feathery scales of
pale blue, silvery white, pinkish orange, or shell pink. Their eyes
are a ruby red or sapphire blue. The breath of a feilong is a cloud
of billowing green mist that withers the soul.
Protectors of the Peaks. Feilongs are stewards of the

mountains. They maintain the freshness and quality of waterfalls
and mountain streams and the health and vigor of the
surrounding alpine meadows and forests. Feilong are among the
rarest of Asian dragons and are also among the friendliest but if
pressed by the gods they may block a river to keep it from
flowing downhill into civilized areas to punish mortals.
Lords of Luck. Feilong are considered the most sacred of

dragons aside from the heavenly shenlong and tienlong. Their
feathery scales are blessed and when given away freely to
another they can give their new owner advantage in any saving
throw before fading away into mist. This ability has given them
the name Fuku-Ryu (Luck Dragons) among the island peoples
of the East. The luck scale must be given away by the dragon
freely, if a scale is stolen or taken from a slain feilong than the
scales confer Disadvantage when used instead.
Soldiers of Fortune. The feilong have no dragon king. Instead

they are hired to work for any Longwang in return for sufficient
status and honor. Most hold fealty to Ao Kuang and Ao Shun
but all the draconic courts have a significant population of mist
dragons.
A FEILONGS LAIR
A feilongs lair is typically located atop a mist shrouded mountain surrounded by tropical rainforest and
dangerous cliffs. The lair itself is usually a cavern behind a waterfall or hidden by an underwater entrance.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following
effects:
The dragon creates a cloud of thick mist centered on a single target. Treat this mist as if the dragon
has cast a Fog Cloud spell. The mist last until initiative count 20 on the next round.
The dragon can cause clouds to appear and produce a torrential rain that covers a 40 foot radius
around the dragon. The rain lightly obscures the area and causes soil and leaves to become slick
and slippery with mud. All within the rain, other than the dragon, must make a DC 15 Dexterity
saving throw or fall prone. The dragon must be outside to use this ability.
The dragon curses a target with bad luck. The Victim must make a Difficulty 15 Wisdom saving
throw or have disadvantage to all rolls for the rest of the encounter or until a remove curse spell is
used upon the victim. The dragon can remove the curse at will.
REGIONAL EFFECTS
The region containing a feilongs lair is enchanted by the dragons magic, which creates one or more of the
following effects:
11
dragon.
The region is prone to heavy rains and a thick humid mist covers the ground within 6 miles of the
dragon's lair. The mist doesn't obscure anything, but it does give a haunted, spooky feel to the area
and makes the skin cold and clammy.
Waterfalls and mountain streams within 6 miles of the dragons lair will be unusually clean and
pure. The water does not need to be boiled and never brings sickness to the drinker.
If the dragon dies all these effects immediately fade away within 1-6 weeks.

Fucanglong (Treasure or Underworld Dragon)
Fucanglong, also known as Underworld or Treasure Dragons,
are fierce-looking longs with a crested heads, spiky backs,
multiple limbs, and scales of ruby red, copper, burnt, sienna,
burnt umber, magenta, violet, glass green, or the black of
volcanic stone. Their breath is a blast of blistering flame.
Lords of the Underworld. These dragons are in charge of

protecting the hidden treasures of the earth. Unlike most
oriental dragons they are not connected in any way with water
but rather with the boiling liquid fires within the earth. This
fiery habitat gives them fiery tempers and fucanglong rarely
leave their lairs. Upon the commands of the gods the dragons
may reveal veins or precious gems or ores to worthy mortals
but more often they are called upon to create landslides, cave-
ins, and volcanic eruptions.
King of the South. The ruler of the fucanglong is the

vermillion scaled Ao Qin, also known as Zhulong, who has a
castle in the bottom of the southern sea. The most ill tempered
and solitary of the longwang, Ao Qin rarely accepts visitors of
any sort.
A FUCANGLONGS LAIR
A Fucanglongs lair is a huge warren of interconnected

passages and chambers deep within the mantle of the world.
This immense maze will have walls gleaming with uncut gems
and veins of precious metals.
Lair Actions
effects:
The dragon can burrow through the ground and at the end of the movement the dragon can burst
out of the ground spouting lava in a 30 foot radius. The lava does damage as in the dragons
breath weapon, save for half damage as normal. The lava hardens in the next round.
Razor sharp crystal spikes spout from the walls or ground at any point the dragon can see within
150 feet of it. The spikes are otherwise identical to a spike growth spell. The spikes remain until
the dragon destroys them or until it dies.
Two masses of rock several tons in weight appear within 120 feet of the dragon and violently
crash together crushing a single opponent between them. The dragon must make a single ranged
attack roll (dragons Proficiency bonus + Dexterity modifier) to hit the target. The clashing rocks
ignore any concealment and if there is a solid barrier between the rocks and the target then the
barrier takes the damage. If the clashing rocks do more damage to the barrier than the barrier has
hit points then the rocks smash through the barrier and any leftover damage is applied to the
victim. The rocks do 60 (20d6) points of damage and the victim is knocked prone. A successful
Dexterity save (DC 18) halves the damage.
REGIONAL EFFECTS
The region containing a dilongs lair is enchanted by the dilongs magic, which creates one or more of the
following effects:
16
Any water sources within a mile of the lair are steaming hot and lined with sulfur crystals.
The land about the lair will be marked with statues and pillars of volcanic stone caused by the
dragon shaping half cooled lava into various shapes. In addition fragments of volcanic glass will
litter the earth about these objects.
Once per day the dragon can cause any volcano to erupt spewing lava, white hot ash, and
poisonous vapor for miles. Anyone within 10 miles will be poisoned until out of range and anyone
who falls into the lava will instantly die.
If the dragon dies the landforms and statues remain intact but all other effects immediately fade.

Qiulong (Jade, Coiled, or River Dragons)
Qiulong (literally coiling dragon), also known as Jade
and River dragons, have long necks and crocodilian
snouts. Males have horns but the female is hornless. As
their names imply their scales are typically jade green
with a red underside and white markings on the sides as
if embroidered. Other colors such as the white of sea
foam, the reds of coral, the blacks of deep water, and
aquamarine also occur. The breath of a qiulong is a
cloud of boiling steam.
Lords of Waters. Qiulong are the typical dragons of

lakes, rivers, and the seas. Unlike their dilong cousins
the jade dragons are in charge of surface waters which
they keep clean and flowing. They typically reward
people by keeping the waters calm for sailing or
providing plenty of fish in fishermens nets. If sent to
punish a mortal these dragons typically cause tidal
waves.
King of the North. The ruler of the dilong is the black

scaled Ao Shun, also known as Xuanlong, who has a
castle in the bottom of the northern sea. Ao Shun is
among the most gregarious of the longwang and has
elaborate rooms in his palace just for guests.
A QIULONGS LAIR
A qiuongs lair is typically located underwater, usually

in an undersea palace or mansion. There they will have
many servants in the form of awakened sharks, turtles,
crabs, and other water animals. The castles themselves
are often of coral with walls of mother of pearl and strange iridescent fish providing light. All treasure lost
underwater is a qiulongs by right so they tend to be among the wealthiest of dragons.
Lair Actions
effects:
Instead of a cone of superheated steam the dragon can use a breath charge to breathe a line of
pressurized water twice the length of its usual breath and 5 feet wide. This line does bludgeoning
damage.
The dragon creates a whirlpool in any body of water within 120 feet of the dragon. The whirlpool
fills a 30 foot radius centered on the point given by the dragon. Those caught in the pool must
make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning
damage. If it is Large or smaller, it is also considered grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple
ends, the target is restrained and unable to breathe unless it can breathe water. If the saving throw
is successful, the target is pushed out of the whirlpools space.
The dragon creates a massive wave of water that affects an area of coastline 120 feet in length and
targets all creatures and objects within 40 feet of the shore. The save DC to halve this damage is
equal to the dragons breath weapon DC. Those who fail their saves take 24 (8d6) points of
damage and are drawn 60 feet off shore and deposited 20 feet under the surface on the round after
21
the wave hits. Unless they have a swim movement or make a successful athletics check the
creatures will then begin to drown.
REGIONAL EFFECTS
The region containing a qiulongs lair is enchanted by the dragons magic, which creates one or more of the
following effects:
dragon. In this case they will always be fish or water creatures.
The corals and fish within 6 miles of the lair take on unworldly hues and unusually large sizes.
Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 6 mile radius centered on its lair as in a control

Shenlong (Spirit Dragon)
Long bodied dragons with gleaming antlers, flowing
manes, and scales of silver and sky blue, shenlong or
spirit dragons, are the most venerated of the worldly
dragons. Only the heavenly tianlong are more
respected but those exalted beasts respond only to the
Emperor while the shenlong will accept the prayers of
the common man. As bringers of rain it is appropriate
that the breath of a shenlong is a bolt of lightning.
Lords of the Air. Shenlong are in charge of herding

the heavenly sheep (clouds) and bringing rain to the
land. They are responsible for making it rain when the
gods decree it is supposed to. When angry, or directed
to by the gods, shenlong can cause devastating
downpours causing floods, or withhold the rains
causing drought.
King of the West. The ruler of the shenlong is the

azure scaled Ao Guang, also known as Qinglong, who
has a castle in the bottom of the eastern sea. Ao Guang
has a fondness for humanoids ever since a young
peasant lad married his daughter and is one of the
friendliest of the longwangs.
A SHENLONGS LAIR
A shenlongs lair is typically a cloud castle or located upon a high, cloud shrouded mountain top. As
benefits their exalted work they live in elaborate mansions or palaces filled with awakened bird and bat
servants as well as many elementals of the air.
Lair Actions
effects:
The dragon creates fog as if casting a Fog Cloud spell. The fog lasts until the dragon takes another
lair action.
The dragon gives voice to an immense roar causing any creature within 15 feet of the dragon to
make a Constitution saving throw (DC is the same as the dragons breath weapon) or take 8 (2d8)
points of Thunder damage and be pushed 10 feet away from the dragon. On a successful save the
creature takes only half damage and is not pushed.
Any flying creature within 120 feet and in sight of the dragon must make a Constitution saving
throw (DC as the dragons breath) will have difficulty fighting gravity. If the victim does not land
on their next turn they will crash. The victim will remain grounded until the dragons next lair
action.
REGIONAL EFFECTS
The region containing a shenlongs lair is enchanted by the dragons magic, which creates one or more of
the following effects:
dragon.
26
Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 6 mile radius centered on its lair as in the
Control Weather spell.
Thunderstorms will rage within 6 miles of the lair. As one approaches within a mile of the lair the
clouds will take the form of huge wooly rams leaping about and slamming their heads together.
If the dragon dies all these effects immediately fade.

Tianlong (Celestial Dragon)
Tianlong, or Celestial Dragons, are the guardians
of the outer planes and palaces of the gods. With
scales of golden-red, sunny yellow, dawning
pinkish orange, dusky purple, indigo blue, or
bluish-black they are the fiercest yet most
beautiful of all dragons. The breath of a tianlong is
holy fire, a brilliant flash of burning light
accompanied by the raging roar of the heavens.
Lords of Light. As creatures of the celestial

realms tianlong are the guardians of the gates to
the outer planes and mansions of the gods. They
are responsible for making sure all the other
dragon types receive their orders to bring good or
ill fortune to mortals. Tianlongs are often sent to
give messages to other dragons and immortals but
among mortals only the Emperor himself is
granted a tianlong messenger.
King of the Center. The ruler of the tianlong is

the yellow scaled great Qiantang himself.
A TIANLONGS LAIR
A tianongs lair is typically a palace upon the outer planes. A soaring pagoda surrounded by delicate
fountains and elaborate gardens and filled with many servants is typical of a tianlong lair.
Lair Actions
effects:
The dragon can counter any spell once per round as an immediate action. It need not know the
spell it is countering, but can instead expend any spell that is one level higher to automatically
counter the spell.
The dragon can cover its form in golden armor, granting it a +2 bonus to AC and energy resistance
to one energy type, chosen at the time the armor is summoned. This armor lasts for 12 rounds or
until the dragon dismisses it as a free action.
The dragon shines with holy light and all good or evil creatures within a 120 foot radius centered
on he dragon have disadvantage when making saving throws against the dragons spells, spell-like
abilities, breath, and fear aura. This aura lasts until the next initiative count of 20.
REGIONAL EFFECTS
The region containing a tianlongs lair is enchanted by the dragons magic, which creates one or more of
the following effects:
Celestial and fae creatures will abound in the area around the lair and be the servants of the
dragon.
Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 6 mile radius centered on its lair as in the
Control Weather spell.
The land within 1 mile of the lair will be in springtime no mater what the actual season. The land
will be filled with singing birds, blooming flowers and cherry blossoms, among other signs of
eternal spring.
31
If the dragon dies all these effects immediately fade.

Oriental Dragonborn & Sorcerers
Oriental dragons may be used to create dragonborn and sorcerers native to Asian themed campaigns. To
create Oriental dragon-blooded characters just use the following rules.
Oriental Dragonborn (Ke-Mung): The dragonborn of Asian countries use the same rules as western
dragonborn but choose one of the following dragon types for draconic ancestry.
Draconic Ancestry
Dragon Damage Type Breath Weapon
Dilong Thunder 15 ft. cone (Con. Save)
Feilong Necrotic 15 ft. cone (Con. Save)
Fucanglong Fire 15 ft. cone (Dex. Save)
Qiulong Fire 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. Save)
Shenlong Lightning 5 by 30 ft line (Dex save)
Tianlong Radiant 15 ft. cone (Con. Save)
All other racial characteristics are the same as in the core

rulebook.
Oriental Sorcerers (Yaoren): Oriental dragons often

mate with humanoids resulting in Sorcerers with the
Draconic bloodline. Like other dragon-blooded sorcerers
the Yaoren chooses a draconic Ancestor. In the case of the
Yaoren the choice is from among the oriental dragons as
given below. Otherwise the class gains its features as in
the core rulebook.
