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]''.

In [[Tongues of Serpents]], two extremely long-winged dragons appear, named as [[Lung Shen Li]] and [[Lung Shen Gai]]. Their breed is by no way new, and is stated to be a cross that dates from the Ming Dynasty, but the breeding of them was discontinued. | In [[Tongues of Serpents]], two extremely long-winged dragons appear, named as [[Lung Shen Li]] and [[Lung Shen Gai]].
