Meet My Newest Dragon, Panlong

[jajeanpierre]

Panlong is still with her breeder, Tylene (Ponders). Panlong is a Trioceros quadricornis quadricornis hatched December 2 , 2014, from her lovely Flynn and Bill Strand's Alpha. I am expecting her in about a month. Photos courtesy of Tylene. Thank you Tylene!

I'm curious. Where did the name Panlong come from? I've read Eragon, which I think is the only dragon book I've read. Very cute.

ChamDE86 is correct--all my dragons' names come from Chinese mythology.

Panlong is the coiling dragon. Shenlong is the spiritual dragon, the master of storms and the bringer of rain. (I'm in Texas--naming him was a no-brainer!) Tianlong is the heavenly or celestial dragon.

I'm more of a greek mythology geek! Not as many dragons there, and a little more cliché, but hey, I go mainstream, cuz not being mainstream is too mainstream. I name my guys after Marvel and D. C. characters. Captain is named after captain america and the late Oliver Queen was named after, well, Oliver Queen!
