Species Notes
Celestials are an extremely rare Chinese breed of dragon. They are able to employ the "divine wind." Only members of the Emperor's family are supposed to be companion's to Celestials. According to Lung Tien Qian there are only eight Celestials in the world: Lung Tien Qian, Temeraire, Lung Tien Chu, Lung Tien Chuan, Lung Tien Lien, Lung Tien Ming, Lung Tien Zhi and one known as "Grandfather."
Celestials are similar in apperance to Imperials. They are usually darkly colored (with the except of Lung Tien Lien) with blue markings. They have five talons on each foot and their wings are six-spined, whereas most dragons are five. And they are able to beat their wings forward and backward, which gives them the ability to "hover" in midair. However, when Celestials mature they grow a ruff around their head which distinguishes them from Imperials.
