## Personality

Since he represents the darker side of the universe, Yang Long is naturally very cruel and short tempered. However, he wishes to be more than the representation of darkness and chaos that the rest of the Long family label him to be.

Unfortunately, he finds he is unable to keep his sadistic actions under control, which results in the death of his mother, Yue Long, and the estranged relationships between his father and siblings.

## Trivia

* Yang's name (yáng lóng(楊龍) doesn't really mean anything when translated from Chinese to English.
	+ However Long (lóng(龍) directly translates to dragon.
		- Meanwhile, his name ties to his role as the darker side of the universe.
* Yang Long is the first antagonist of the Hadrosaur838 Series to have no affiliation with Dracos what-so-ever.
* Yang Long is one of few characters in the Hadrosaur838 Universe to have been portrayed in a serialized form before physical.
* The colors and attributes of both Yang Long and Yin Long were accidentally misinterpreted by the creator. However, the colors were kept as they fit with the characters and their roles.
	+ In Chinese philosophy, Yang is characterized as male and creative and associated with heaven, heat, and light. Meanwhile, Yin is characterized as female and sustaining and associated with earth, dark, and cold.
		- The Hadrosaur838 Series seems to have these attributes switched around, although the genders of both sides remains the same.
* Yin Long and Yang Long are the only members of the Long Family to have smooth skin, as all the other members possess carp like scales.
* In concept art, both Yin Long and Yang Long shared a near identical body type. Both of which also shared a similar appearance to the rest of their relatives, however they had shorter necks and dog-like heads.
	+ Later, Yang's length was extended and he was given bat-like wings. His primary horns were given prongs that pointed downward, and they greatly differed in size with his secondary horns, both of which were larger than Yin's set. Yang was also given a goatee and a prominent set of tusk-like fangs which protrude from his mouth.
		- Yang's abilities have also changed. Originally, he utilized the same dark energy that Dracos did, but it was changed for being too similar to the latter. He was later given a pair of scythe-like Kusarigama dubbed "Shadow Kusarigama." They would have been attached to long chains with a clawed hand on the opposite end. Both the design and abilities were kept for the final concept.
			* Originally, the claws of the Kusarigama were a part of Yang's body, via. his hands. This idea was later scrapped.
