The nine sons of the dragon were recognized by the Chinese government's official Shanghai Mint in 2012's year of the Dragon by issuing two sets of coins, one in silver[3] and one in brass.[4] Each coin in the nine-coin sets depicts one of the nine sons. A 10th additional coin was issued depicting the father dragon in silver[5] and brass,[6] which has iconography of the nine sons on the reverse, for a total of 20 coins in the series.[7] The coins are certified by NGC with the following names:

Pulao (): Pulao looks like a dragon, but is smaller in size, and likes to roar. It is said that Pulao lives by the sea and fears whales most. Whenever he's attacked by a whale, he keeps roaring. Thus, people put his image on bells and make the wooden striker into the shape of a whale. This is to get the loudest possible bell sound.

Bi'an (): Bi'an looks like a tiger. He's very powerful and interested in prisons and judicial cases. Therefore, people engrave his image on the doors of prisons. The tiger is a brave and fierce animal and the image of Bi'an, a tiger-like beast, is used to enhance the majesty of prisons and to intimidate criminals.

Okay, I am losing my mind. Easily found all flags and the panda cub demon, and all collectibles in the first DLC mission, and never had an issue with the collectibles in the main game. But this one has me stumped. Where the heck is this dragon vein essence? I have fully cleared every enemy in the mission, and pushing into every possible corner, looking all over, back and forth, for 30 minutes. I'm wondering if my game is bugged at this point.

Given their background as low class soldiers in the Saiyan Army, Goku's parents Bardock and Gine, as well as their eldest son Raditz trained in the fighting arts as well due to the Saiyan's warrior culture and strong combat instincts, though due to her gentle nature and poor fighting ability, Gine would retire from the army and fighting. However Bardock and Gine were low class warriors though Bardock was quite strong for a Saiyan of his class, and Raditz was mid class. It should also be noted that both Bardock and even Gine were capable of enduing ten times the Earth's gravity due to living on Planet Vegeta. Additionally, while stronger than most Earthlings, they, like most Saiyans, were unaware of certain abilities such as Ki Sense, forcing them to rely on Scouters. Raditz himself was surprised his brother's ability to concentrate his ki and how Goku and Gohan were able to change their power levels. Raditz was also stated to have a power level equal to the Saibamen used by Nappa and Vegeta during the Saiyan conflict, though his strength was superior to Goku's at least before his death and training under King Kai, though Raditz himself admitted that Gohan's power was abnormal and greater than himself. Due to the gentle nature of Goku, his sons, and Goku Jr. all, they all apparently had greater amounts of S-Cells which required to become Super Saiyans, making it easier for them to achieve the Super Saiyan forms. Additionally, while Bardock was capable of ruthless slaughter, he cared greatly for his comrades and was protective of Gine while on missions which lead to their romantic relationship which itself was a rarity among Saiyans and Bardock himself often joked that he had contracted Gine's "sickness" (gentle nature), indicating he too also had a greater amount of S-Cells which is supported by his acquiring his Super Saiyan transformation in Episode of Bardock.

The third son was just like a lizard but one without a tail. It was thought to forage in dangerous places with the ability to swallow fire. The roofs of palaces were adorned with such dragons as a protection against fire.

The fifth son had a great love of music and it is depicted as a yellow dragon upon musical instruments such as the Hu Qin of the Han People, Yue Qin of the Yi ethnic group, and tri-chord qin of the Bai ethnic group.

The ninth son bore a likeness to a jackal with its taste for killing, thus it often appeared on sword scabbards. Another tradition says that Pixiu, a fierce but auspicious beast, was the ninth son. It had a dragon's head, horse's body, kylin's feet, a long beard and wings but no anus, which was its most distinctive feature and symbolized the bringing and accumulation wealth. In the art of Feng Shui, it also functioned to exorcise undesirable influences. For this reason hosts would have a statue of Pixiu on certain furniture; it was believed that Pixiu made of jade were the most effective for such purposes.

Eventually these nine Rankers she selected to be Dragon Humans, became something akin to adoptive children to her and soon became her heirs to the leadership of Red Dragon, with her "daughters" and "sons" soon began a competition of succession over winning more favor with their "mother" to increase the chances of them being given control over Red Dragon if the Queen ever decided to retire or should she die.

Each of the Nine Dragon Sons, where given an amount of the Summer Queen's Blood that then transformed each of them into Dragon Humans and given them the same attributes as the Summer Queen as a Dragon, albeit much weaker due to them only being half blooded dragons.

As shown and stated, the Eight of the Nine Dragon Sons were stated to have the power approaching the level of the "Nine Kings", while Waltz, the eldest, was stated to have already reached the level of the Nine Kings. Later, Tom was later able to become similarly powerful after devouring Triger and taking his dragon factors.

HBO's House of the Dragon has gone to great lengths to empower the women within its story, strengthening them even further by providing both Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower with plenty of heirs to carry on the battle that's grown between them. While there was never any doubt that Alicent's children were fathered by King Viserys I, nearly everyone in the realm save the king acknowledged Rhaenyra's first three sons as bastards with no claim to the Iron Throne.

Firstborn son of Rhaenyra and her first husband Laenor Velaryon, Jacaerys was affectionately known to his family as Jace. There were abundant rumors spread by Queen Alicent about the legitimacy of Jace's parentage, with murmurs circulating through court that his true father was Ser Harwin Strong. King Viserys put a halt to the rumors when a fight broke out between his sons and grandsons, threatening to burn out the tongue of anyone else who spoke such lies.

According to tradition, Jacaerys was gifted a dragon egg at birth and the egg was placed in his cradle to hatch. The hatchling was named Vermax. Once the dragon was large enough, Jacaerys became his rider.

Lucerys' dragon was named Arrax. Sent by his mother to entreat Borros Boratheon to recall his family's oath to acknowledge Rhaenyra as queen, he was beaten to the punch by Aemond, who had arrived at Storm's End earlier with gifts. Taunted and threatened by Aemond and refused by the Boratheons, Lucerys fled Storm's End on his dragon Arrax -- but was hunted and chased by Aemond aback his much older and stronger dragon Vhagar. Amidst a violent storm, Vhagar attacked Arrax, killing both dragon and rider.

The third and final son produced by the marriage of Rhaenyra and Laenor, Joffrey Velaryon was also rumored to be the bastard son of Ser Harwin Strong. Named for his father's friend and companion Ser Joffrey Lonmouth, he was gifted a dragon egg at birth just like his brothers. The hatchling was named Tyraxes.

After the deaths of Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen's spouses, there was nothing left to stand in the way of their long-awaited union. Not long after they were married, Rhaenyra gave birth to their first son together named Aegon III. It appears that she gave birth to their second son Viserys II within approximately 18 months of Aegon's birth. House of the Dragon doesn't give any information about their dragon eggs, but given the family history and Daemon's considerable pride, one can assume Rhaenyra and Daemon's children were bonded to dragons in their cradles.

Born in 114 AC, Jacaerys Velaryon is the firstborn son of Princess Rhaenyra and Ser Laenor. Even early on, Jace quickly proves that he is a valuable asset to the war pursuit against his uncle Aegon II. Jace flies as an envoy on his dragon, Vermax, gaining the support of the Vale, the Three Sisters, and the North. When the frontline dwindled, he put forth the ingenious idea of offering ennoblement to any Targaryen bastard that can tame Dragonstone's riderless dragons, historically called the Sowing of the Seeds, resulting in new dragonriders ready to fight for the cause (similar to Game of Thrones' Jon Snow with the dragon Rhaegal).

One of the most mysterious of the Rhaenyra children, there is not much known about Visenya Targaryen other than that Princess Rhaenyra labored for three days to birth hern and Visenya arrived a month before she was due. According to the fool Mushroom, Visenya came out malformed with defects that resembled dragons more than men (although this is an unconfirmed account.) Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon's only daughter was stillborn. House of the Dragon depicted this moment in the season 1 finale, adding to the heartbreak of Rhaenyra.

As the pampered pet dragon of the Prince of Wrenly, Ruskin has never known life beyond the walls of the palace. Until the day a young dragon from Crestwood comes to the palace to plead for help. An evil curse has been unleashed in Crestwood and threatens to destroy all of Wrenly. Ruskin has a choice to make: stay safe at home in the palace, or try to help save his kingdom. For Ruskin, there is no choice. He knows he has to try and help if he can. ff782bc1db
