Profile
Origin
Huanglong,[a] or the Yellow Dragon, is a dragon which is said to have appeared before Fubao[b] before she conceived the Yellow Emperor. Additionally, it is said that Huangdi took on this form ascending to Heaven and becoming a Daoist immortal. Under the principle of the Five Elements,[c] Huanglong represents the earth element and midsummer season. Furthermore, it completes the Four Symbols,[d] those being Qing Long, Zhuque, Baihu, Xuanwu, by being the center of the universe.
Huanglong is also associated with the water deity known as the Dragon King.[e] In this regard, Huanglong represents the centre, the end of summer, earth, the dusty yellow sky, and the refinement of gold over 500 years. In this sense, Bailong is associated with Heilong, Qinglong, Chilong, and Bailong.[1] These qualities were eventually adopted into Daoist ritual practice.
Design
Huang Long's depiction in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner is a shining golden-colored Chinese dragon with a fiery neck and limbs.[2]
