## Folklore

Regale e potente, il Dio Dragone del Mare Orientale comanda tempeste e maree con un colpo d’artiglio, ma ribollisce con rabbia per le umiliazioni passate.
In qualità di Dio Dragone, Ao Kuang domanda tributi a coloro che abitano le rive Orientali. Grazie alla loro venerazione, le maree rimangono calme, i fiumi nei loro letti e le piogge abbondanti per i raccolti. Ma non è sempre stato così. Molto tempo fa, Ao Kuang divenne avido e pretese sacrifici maggiori. Quando però non vennero soddisfatti, mandò alluvioni, ondate di marea e tempeste devastanti, incutendo un tale terrore nelle genti che essi non osarono nemmeno riferire della sua violenza all’Imperatore di Giada. Ao Kuang si dilettava del suo totale controllo.
Arrivò poi Sun Wukong al suo palazzo sottomarino in cerca di un’arma per il suo famoso viaggio a Ovest. Malgrado le offerte di altre armi, Sun Wukong prese Ruyi Jingu Bang, un’ immensa colonna che riusciva a controllare le maree. Si credeva che nessuno potesse sollevarla, ma Sun Wukong la mulinò con facilità. Come se ciò non fosse già abbastanza umiliante, Sun Wukong chiese armatura, scarpe ed elmo in dono, a cui Ao Kuang fu costretto a provvedere.
In seguito, il semidio ragazzo Nezha, giocando in un ruscello, inavvertitamente scosse il palazzo di Ao Kuang, Seccato, il Dio Dragone mandò il suo esploratore preferito a uccidere il bambino, ma Nezha si difese e il ricognitore venne ucciso. Furioso, Ao Kuang ordinò al suo terzo figlio di uccidere Nezha, ma Nezha uccise anche lui. Completamente indignato, Ao Kuang andò dal padre di Nezha e minacciò di portare la questione davanti all’Imperatore di Giada, ma Nezha affrontò il Re Dragone e lo forzò a sottomettersi.
Ripetute infamie e umiliazioni di tal genere hanno sia umiliato Ao Kuang che temprato la sua furia in una risolutezza d’acciaio. A lungo ha atteso la sua occasione per risorgere e dominare di nuovo come un grande Dio Dragone del Mare.

## Trivia

* On September 10, 2014 the original Ao Kuang received a major visual revamp that changed the character into Kukulkan, which gave way for the current Ao Kuang.
* When Ao Kuang uses the ability Wild Storm, the quote "*A mighty sword!*", is a reference to the quote the Original Ao Kuang used when he used the ability, Whirlwind, which was "*A mighty storm!*".

* Ao Kuang will also sometimes exclaim "*Celebration!*" when killing a Jungle boss, this is a reference to his original VEW quote which became a meme within the Smite community along with the former quote.

* One of Ao Kuang's introductions, "*Know your enemy, know yourself, and victory will be assured! ..Unless you're fighting a dragon, of course.*", is a reference to a quote from the ancient Chinese text *The Art of War*.
* One of Ao Kuang's directed taunts for Hun Batz, "*Why do Mayan immortals always look so familiar?*", references the fact that two characters from the Chinese pantheon (the original Ao Kuang and Sun Wukong) were revamped into Mayan deities.
* One of Ao Kuang's taunts, "*You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting!*", is a direct quote from the movie *A Knight's Tale*.
* One of Ao Kuang's jokes, "*Water can flow, or it can crash! Be water, my friend!*", is a quote from the famous martial artist and film actor Bruce Lee.
