Kuzuryu

Lore

Kuzuryū, the Nine-Headed Dragon, is a legendary creature from Japanese mythology associated with lakes, storms, and devastating destruction. Ancient tales describe the beast terrorizing villages and demanding sacrifices before eventually becoming tied to sacred shrines and spiritual reverence. With nine snarling dragon heads rising above dark waters, Kuzuryū embodied both chaos and divine power within the natural world. Storms gathering over mountain lakes were often believed to signal the dragon stirring beneath the depths once more.
