Today's Mystical Creature: The Sea Dragon (special thanks to Kat Blue for her colored pencil drawing below)
THE MYTHOLOGY: If Chinese, one might have fins or the horns of a stag, may resemble a sea serpent, and be called Long or Lung. The Japanese version is known as Ryu and is thought to be benevolent with wish granting powers. Leviathan's are thought to have been able to breathe fire and cause tsunamis. Hercules battled a "hydra" which has been described as a swamp dwelling dragon with nine heads.
