Ai-Yi-Senshi

Ai-Yi-Senshi is a great Pan Lung Dragon. Its scales are various shades of red, yellow, and orange, and its underside is green. A natural, oily secretion makes its scales gleam in sunlight. A mane the color of the rainbow surrounds its neck, and dark whiskers grow from its snout. 
Ai-Yi-Senchi is seen as the spirit of protection of the Shou Empire. Pilgrims come from all over the empire to give it offerings in exchange for the perceived protection it supposedly bestows upon the empire, it’s leader, and it’s citizens. It is said that its temple descended from the Spiritlands, sent by the Celestial Emperor, Okami, and that it appeared where it did because the Shou Empire faces many threats from the east.
