Now let's go into the classifications of Chinese dragons. They are broken into 4 categories.

1. Celestial Dragons (Guardians): They protect the heavens, supporting the mansions of the gods and shielding them from decay. Only these dragons and their earthly likenesses on the imperial regalia had 5 claws. All other dragons had only 3 or 4.

2. Spiritual Dragons (Weathermakers): Floating across the sky, a changeable blue in color, spiritual dragons governed the wind, clouds and rain on which life has always depended. The Chinese took care to appease them, for if these weathermakers grew angry or neglectful, the result was certain disaster.

3. Earth Dragons (River Lords): Earth dragons determined the course of rivers, regulated their flow and maintained their banks. Every river in China had it's own earth - dragon king, who held sway over the waters from a palace far beneath the surface.

4. Subterranean Dragons (Treasure Keepers): These dragons were in charge of all the precious jewels and metals buried in the earth. Each of these dragons bore an enormous pearl that was reputed to multiply whatever it touched, the pearl symbolized another hidden treasure - wisdom.

 we can categorize the dragon's body form into 5 categories.

The Amphitptere A legless, winged serpent, it could be found along the banks of the Nile and in Arabia. It guarded frankincense-bearing trees and threatened all who would harvest the precious resin.

The Heraldic Dragon The most widespread and formidable of it's kind. It had massive fangs, four clawed legs and a ridge of sharp spines that stretched from it's spiked nose to its barbed and stinging tail.

The Guivre The legless and wingless guivre would have seemed a mere serpent albeit an immensely powerful one, except for its massive dragon head, horned and bearded. It likes to live in forests and wells - anywhere near water.

The Wyvern Feared for its viciousness and for the pestilence it brought to northern Europe, Greece and Ethiopia, the wyvern had a coiling trunk that bore a pair of eagle's legs, which were tucked beneath it's wings.

The Lindworm Falling between the birdlike wyvern and the snakelike guivre, the lindworm had a serpentine body with one pair of legs. It was flightless. The Italian traveler Marco Polo reported seeing some lindworms while crossing the steppes of Central Asia.
