Etymology[]
Dragon Lord combines Dragon and Lord, a high ranking title.
Ryūjin translates to Dragon God
Origin[]
Dragon Lord is based on a ryū, or Eastern dragon. Originally from China, these creatures are less like youkai and more like actual deities (for which they're called ryūjin, or "dragon gods") that were worshiped in ancient times, and are unrivaled in both wisdom and power. They're associated with rainfall, rivers, and floods, and tornadoes are said to be dragons rising to the skies (hence the Japanese word for tornadoes - tatsumaki, literally "dragon's coil"). In China they are also associated with the imperial rule.
Texts speak of the ryū's "nine resemblances": they have a deer's horns, a crocodile's head, a demon's eyes, a snake's neck, a tortoise's belly, a fish's scales, an eagle's claws, a tiger's feet and a bull's ears. Alternatively, as part of the Chinese zodiac they are said to incorporate characteristics from all other 11 animals. They are usually portrayed holding a flaming pearl in their claws, which they especially treasure and will fight fiercely over. Somewhere on their body there is an inverted scale, and if anyone touches it they will become infuriated and tear the offender apart. From there, "touching the inverted scale" became an idiom for provoking the emperor's wrath.
