Like Imperials, Celestials are usually darkly colored (with the exception of [[Lung Tien Lien]]) with blue markings. Their dark coloration fades with age, to the point of becoming translucent and colorless. They have five talons on each foot and their wings have six spines, as opposed to most dragons' five. They are able to beat their wings forward and backward, which gives them the ability to "hover" in midair. | Like Imperials, Celestials are usually darkly colored (with the exception of [[Lung Tien Lien]]) with blue markings.

Another distinguishing feature of Celestials is that where most dragons lose their early facility with language acquisition and memorization after about their fifth or sixth week (according to [[Joulson]]), Celestials retain these facilities throughout their lives. Imperials do so as well; [[Lung Qin Mei]] passed her first examinations in China with honour three years after she was hatched, and a certain Korean Imperial managed to learn French in a month, as le [[Comte de la Pérouse]] reported in his journal. | Another distinguishing feature of Celestials is that where most dragons lose their early facility with language acquisition and memorization after about their fifth or sixth week (according to [[Joulson]]), Celestials retain these facilities throughout their lives.
