It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Azure Dragon}} and/or {{wp|Black Tortoise}} of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}} constellation; or from {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, a god from the {{wp|Aztec mythology}} that resembles a feathered serpent. It also may be based on the Qiling, a mythical creature from east Asia described to have a horn on its forehead and occasionally associated with lightning.
