Fuzanglong Explained

In Chinese mythology, the Fuzanglong[1] is the Chinese dragon of hidden treasures[2] and an underworld dragon which guards buried treasure, both natural and man-made. Volcanoes are said to form when these dragons burst out of the ground to report to heaven.[3] Several tiles and light reliefs depict Fuzanglong dragons serving as mounts to Immortals.[4]

The Fuzanglong possesses a magic pearl which is its most treasured possession.
