jiaolong
Jiaolong () or jiao is a polysemous aquatic dragon in Chinese mythology. Edward H. Schafer describes the ''jiao'':Spiritually akin to the crocodile, and perhaps originally the same reptile, was a mysterious creature capable of many forms called the ''chiao'' (''kău''). Most often it was regarded as a kind of ''lung'' – a "dragon" as we say. But sometimes it was manlike, and sometimes it was merely a fish. All of its realizations were interchangeable. (1967:217-8)
A doctor drawing out a river jiaolong with realgar during the race to preserve the body of Qu Yuan is traditionally credited with originating the practice of drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival.
