Hydra (split-tailed dragon)

The dragon is able to reduce to the size of the silk-worm or enlarge itself to fill the space between the heaven and earth. It can bury itself in the depths of the fountains and has magical powers of geomancy—drawing lines in the ground that can affect the outcome of events.

The Chinese truly believe in its existence; their history is inundated with legends about the dragon. The stories about dragons are quite elaborate and obscure; difficult to grasp by Western mentality.

Also symbolic of young dragons and playfulness.
