Your Score: Ryu


You scored 11 in Malice and 29 in Chaos!




Japanese dragons, or "Ryu," are very different from their Western counterparts; where the Western dragon is typically reptilian, with a heart as cold as its blood, the dragons of the Orient actually tend to err more on the side of beneficence. This should not, however, be construed as a license to treat them with disrespect; Oriental dragons are extremely powerful beings who do not tolerate impudence.



Ryu, like the dragons of the West, are known to have a fondness for shiny objects and treasure. Some Ryu are willing to part with their treasures if they deem a mortal worthy of inheriting it. Other dragons may also, like gods, grant wishes and supernatural powers to those who seek them.



At the same time, one must be wary when dealing with dragons; some may be extremely temperamental, and others even harbor a hatred for mankind and its desecration of the earth. Most dragons are by no means evil, but must still be treated with extreme caution.

Another ryu here, too. I was rather hoping I'd turn out to be one of those animated umbrellas with a single big eye and a long tongue...

Are those the ones that can also have the single leg?

Yes - as I understand it, there's a whole class of youkai that derive from household objects (shoes, lanterns, mats etc.) that have reached their 100th birthday. As they'll be a bit worn out by then, they may well be thrown out, but this is a bad idea as can resent it. I have some kitchen equipment of about that age, especially the bowl I use for Christmas puddings, and I make a point of being very polite to them!

Tsukumo-gami! (http://www.obakemono.com/obake/tsukumogami/) I love those, but then again I'm the sort who always felt sorry for the little creamer, etc.

(And I scored as dragon on this quiz too...hey, being Chaotic Neutral means never having to say you're sorry!)
