Fox dragon
Also known as: fox dragons
A white fox of Mount Li that mates with a female dragon, becomes a white dragon, and dies three years later.
The white fox of Mount Li, endowed with "the pure breath of the West", lived alone for more than a thousand years. After it mated with a female dragon, Heaven ordained it a dragon. It plunged into the hot springs and rose into the sky as a white dragon; three years later its son, an old man, came to weep for it.
