These shy creatures live
in fresh water and have a dragon's head, 2wo forelegs and a giant
carp's body/tail.
They cannot fly,
polymorph
or
turn invisible; they
have no breath weapon and breathe only water,
though they can emerge awkwardly
onto land for up to one <(1)> hour.
Their attack is with two
<(2)> claws for d4 HP of damage each and
a bite for 2d8 HP of damage.
<edit?>
When determining the age
of yu lung, bring all age levels of 5 or above down to adult.
There are no older yu lung;
when they reach 101 years of age, they are metamorphosed into another kind
of oriental dragon
(equal probability each
type).
