Dragons (Chinese)

Chinese Dragons are a mythical species in The Menagerie trilogy.

Description
Chinese dragons are a reptilian mythical species that are genetically related to Western dragons. They are wingless with serpentine bodies, and lack the ability to breathe fire, like their biological cousins. They own pearls that they keep in a indent under their chin, which allows them to change their size, walk on clouds, call storms, and increase luck and protection of their allies. Without these pearls, they lose their abilities. They are also noted to enjoy water.

Krakens and Lies
The main characters find Xiang imprisoned with Abigail Hardy in the ruins of Old Silverado. His pearl was stolen by the Sterlings, causing him to lose his powers.
