Like humans, some Shen-lung were clever and some were lazy. They worked at a wide variety of occupations: providing mass transit for humans, carrying freight, nursemaiding dragonets, and entering the civil service. Shen-lung in the civil service wore colored silk collars indicating their ranks. The wisest among the Shen-lung were sometimes granted the privilege of mating with an [[Imperial]]. | Like humans, some Shen-lung were clever and some were lazy.

| + | In [[Tongues of Serpents]], two extremely long-winged dragons appear, named as [[Lung Shen Li]] and [[Lung Shen Gai]]. Those [[Chinese name]]s indicate that their breed is called ''Shen'', but since they are also described as "a completely new breed", their name may be written and pronounced differently from the pre-existing breed of Shen-lung. | ||
In traditional Chinese folklore, ''shen-lung'' is the Wade-Giles romanization of 神龍, for which the pinyin equivalent is ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenlong shénlóng]''. The word 神 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shen_%28Chinese_religion%29 shén]) describes a general concept of "supernatural spirit" or "conscious awareness". | In traditional Chinese folklore, ''shen-lung'' is the Wade-Giles romanization of 神龍, for which the pinyin equivalent is ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenlong shénlóng]''.
