Textured with scales and spikes on the top of its head, this sinuous dragon seems ready to strike, with its large, powerful claws and snarling jaws. One of the claw is clenched into a "fist", creating a sense of latent energy. The dragon's tail finishes in an arrowhead shape, which is a nice variation to the usual dragon tail that usually ends in a fine point.

Dragons have different meanings in the East and the West. In the West, they are often depicted as monsters to be vanquished, and in the East, they are lucky and considered to be good omens.

Western dragons appear in myths and fairytales, often protecting a great treasure or holding hostage a maiden, waiting to be slain by a great hero as a way to prove his worth.

In the East, the dragon symbolizes good things, like strength, wisdom, good luck, and power over the forces of wind and water.
