The amount of dragon-animal hybrids the dragon king has as children tells me he had... Very diverse spouses.

Chinese have a saying: Dragons are extremely lecherous.

[@teloyl]

@@Sacration Something like that. Except Dragons are more indiscriminatory since their strike zone is virtually any species' females.

This is so beautiful. And that Bowser revelation was mind-blowing!

[@MythosSafari]

Crazy right?

I too love turtles, so also like you, I am now in love with the dragon turtle 💚❤

[@Ava-oc1dg]

💚✌🏽I wear the phenoix dragon pendant as feng shui suggested for protection. It elaborates a jade disc . Jade another auspicious item. Maybe the topic of a video.

[@MythosSafari]

Interesting!

I also fell in love with the dragon turtle when I travelled to korea. I wanted to jog my memory on the mythology behind, I’ll definitely subscribe now :)

[@MythosSafari]

Thanks pal! That's the reason I made the video!

[@drunkmanta]

@@MythosSafari and please keep making them man, it’s truly appreciated! I’m excited to see what other videos you’ll put out in the future :)

[@user-ey4rc5tu4t]

The turtle references are significant in N American mythology as well. Interesting. I would like to have the perspective of a linguistic scholar on the overlap.

[@MythosSafari]

Definitely want to cover them as well, I actually learned about that doing research for this video

[@Fishinglam]

The dragon turtle is my favorite too.

[@MythosSafari]

He the best

They were a myth unit for Age of Mythology for the Chinese civilization. I actually thought the game developers make it up.

[@craigathonian]

I've always loved the many manifestations of the dragon turtle. Another fave is the dragon horse or Qilin. An interesting tid-bit i picked up in my readings is the reason of many Earth animals morphing into Dragon shapes, is that the Drag form symbolizes it's ascension into a permanent state of a higher being. Sadly, this doesn't hold true for humans in Drag.

[@MythosSafari]

We will definitely cover the Qilin in the near future but well probably start with the Japanese version of it!

[@randomericthings7506]

Bowser?

[@MythosSafari]

Bowser! Exactly!

[@kellywhite9299]

Well, there are turtles and there are tortoises. Turtles have flippers and are sea dwellers, tortoises have walking feet and are land dwellers.

Bro 霸下Baxia is another name of 赑屃Bixi，I believe you have different versions of the nine sons of dragons mixed up. And the picture you showed for "霸下" is quite confusing, since it is titled "负屃"Fuxi，which is a dragon turtle creature similar to 赑屃 but has different origins. Some versions of the nine sons of the dragon includes 赑屃/霸下，some replaces it with 负屃，but these two definitely do not appear at the same time in any version of the nine sons of the dragon.

[@yyt8519]

Still props to you for being interested in our culture tho

[@MythosSafari]

I really tried my best, it wasn't easy to be honest with you! To find the proper information

[@yyt8519]

@@MythosSafari I get it man it’s not even that easy as a Chinese to get all the right information. Chinese mythology is just too fragmented with too many versions… I’m not writing this comment to put you down I greatly appreciate the interest and effort you put into the video! Just wanna contribute a little bit to potentially make it a little better. Keep up the good work man :)

Mao's Cultural Revolution is prolly a big reason why most Chinese people don't know the lore of their ancient mythology anymore...
