Accepted Answer

リュウ りゅ 0 1734 (none) "An ancient Japanese dragon, beautiful and terrifying. Here it is depicted standing on a piece of meat (its prey) and a description is written on the right margin. It is said to be like a snake that has three toes on its feet and can sometimes use its head as a flamethrower (kind of like a sling, but with fire instead of stones). (Note: The Japanese dragon has three toes, unlike other Asian dragons. Asian dragons generally don't breath fire, but Godzilla does, and it is supposed to be a dragon!)."
